Rac, as always, your writing is excellant. You create vivid scenes which allow the reader to be there with your characters.
Unfortunately, this is such a depressing story. We have Clark stuck in the land of the New Kryptonians. A people you can't even love to hate because they aren't inherently evil, just really annoying.
But the worst is poor Lois. I'm not talking about her enforced separation from Clark. That is good fodder for angst. No, it's the horrible thing you've done with having her be pregnant. For this terrible circumstance there is no happy ending.
