Thanks again for your wonderful compliments. I've always loved Clark's relationship with his parents, and I tried my best to be true to it. I was a bit worried about seeing through the view of a secondary character, so thanks for the feedback!
I'm glad the flashback worked well--everyone has their own ideas about how Clark's powers developed, and I hope I didn't contradict anything canon!
I, too, love tidbits drawn from the show and their past, anything to keep it more 'realistic.'
And I certainly intend to keep writing--thanks everyone!
