Thanks for all the feedback! It's great to hear from you all. This chapter was a bit challenging to write with Lois' emotions all over the place.
Deadly Chakram, jackiek, and VirginiaR - you're right. Lois is headed for trouble.
Hopefully, I'll have the final chapter up sometime tomorrow.
VirginiaB and AntiKryptonite - I'm thrilled you got my point. Many rich and powerful people struggle with the idea that others only want to be near them for the lifestyle rather than loving them for who they are.
IolantheAlias I'm glad that you didn't end this in this chapter. Yes, they have a lot to talk about, and a lot to work through. I'm glad that you're showing that.
When I first had the idea for this story, I was thinking everything would be okay after he was put back together. Then I got to thinking. Lois has just found out he's Superman, he's been shot and she thought he was dying, and he underwent some crazy procedure to avoid telling her the truth? That takes time to work through.
AntiKryptonite -
I was sorry to see that his mom was so angry with him
To her, if he'd told Lois about his secret identity this dangerous incident could've been avoided. It scares her that he put himself at such risk. Sometimes when we're scared that fear comes across as anger too.
Thanks again for reading and commenting!
