Delightful cliffhanger. Lovely part, especially all the documentation.
"That's wonderful," Lois said. "And Layla? Did she get her college portfolio completed?"
Evan prefaced his reply with a smile. "She did. She's ... ah ... actually, she's working on another project now....He laughed nervously. "My daughter's project," he said. He thrust the jumpsuit at Clark. "Your disguise."
Oh so much better than finding the suit at the farm. So the stock Superman suit without the family emblem. Excellent.
Looking forward to the "Highway".
Oh and if he does crash to Earth, please consider a spectacular impact such as the one from "Superman Returns".
Of course for a really evil course of events you can have him crash someplace else in the world and not have his memory and take a few years to regain it. He could be mistaken for a missing reporter and start submitting news items to a wire service. Have some trials and tribulations as he travels the world.
In the USA Lois Lane ends up leading the fight to take down Lex Luthor. Lois spends some time in Smallville and really does take to small town living even without Clark but She learns of Lex Luthor and his criminal activities from her father. She takes on the cover identity of a reporter to allow her to be wandering around Metropolis asking questions. Smallville remains her home base and her refuge.
The Daily Planet gets a new editor, a semi-retired agent named Perry White. Perry having been one of Lois early trainers and mentor in the agency. Perry has met and bonded with Clark on Perry's last overseas assignment. He just does not the man he knows is Clark Kent.
Lois is making headway but is till having problems getting usable proof.
Clark takes down a major section of Luthor's overseas operations along with several outposts of Intergang. Then he finally makes his way to the USA.
You could string this out for two or three years. : )
