Ahhhhhh! LOVE THIS. whinging

Great chapter -- so much emotion and all those feelings and whinging whinging

I also strongly dislike Gretchen Kelly, and I was really glad when she left. I know they need her to help them, but UGHHHHHHHHH. So glad Lois is there for Clark, and she's let herself realize just how much she loves/needs him. GAHHHH!

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Well, she wasn't supposed to be a likeable character. It was difficult to balance her, because on the one hand she needs to be an ally while at the same time she still remains the enemy.

Oh totally. I think you've done a great job showing how they need her, but also making us all strongly dislike her lol

This is what I wanted to show in this story. How Lex in Superman's body affects Clark's view of himself and his powers.

Providing a backstory for Gretchen Kelly was perfect. It always seemed really strange to me why such a smart and professional woman would care so much about a snake like Lex. He completely ignored her feelings for him and as per usual, the man only used her. Now I have to wonder what happened to her brother.

Hope Lois and Clark get a break soon!

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Thanks Morgana. I wanted to give Gretchen more of a life. I'm initial versions of this story I wanted to write from her POV, too. But I got stuck every time I tried this and I believe it's for the better in the end that the reader doesn't know what exactly is going through her head. Like you, I thought the show didn't explain her motivation very well.
