Wow. This is a *terrific* start! Poor Clark, so alone & lonely... and then Herb deus ex machina's onto the scene and all of a sudden, there's hope <g>

I'm dying to know what Lois is going to think when she wakes up, though. Last she knows, I believe, is that she was scrambling through the Congo... and now she wakes up in Metropolis, in winter, in some strange man's *bed* <g> And the strange man is still there!

And forget about it when he tells her it's four years in the future. He'll be lucky if she doesn't call for the guys with the white jackets... for either him or her goofy
