Great part!
I am afraid that everything is going too smoothly on Scardino's end--and wow! He finally did one thing I can like! It's great that Shadbolt finally came through for us. Usually, it's Clark whose personality and strong sense of belief sway people to be on our side, so it's cool to see Lois have that same effect.
Like everyone else, I love seeing the progression of Clark's re-entry into the world. I'm glad Lois is taking it easy on him; the last thing he needs after seven years of imprisonment and torture is more pressure and criticism. I also like seeing how devoted she is and how concerned he is about her--it's so Lois & Clark!
Thanks for posting this story--I can't wait for the next part.
