Hey, gentle readers! Seems like I keep saying that Real Life is interfering with my stated intent to post twice a week. I'm sorry, but I can't help it that it's true.

Amy, we have to remember that Lex didn't get where he is - either his criminal position or his "legitimate" position - without learning about people. He thinks Lois is going to react as he might in the same circumstances.

Ken, I don't know what will pop loose, but we'll be there to see it happen.

Next chapter up very soon, y'all. Thanks for reading!


Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around.
