Sequel to 'Come Home'. Rewrite of episodes 1x02-03. The ripple effect continues, but instead of rocking familial foundations, they strengthen them. But that doesn't mean life is easy. Liberties taken with canon timeline.

Ch 3: Confrontations
Ch 4: Relations

Please let me know what you think ^_^

I just read the two chapters and I have a lump in my throat. Everything Tal suffered, what was done to him... he has many valid reasons to hate humans. I hope reaching out to Clark and his family gives him the peace and love he needs.

Edit: I read the whole thing again. I missed a lot of things when translating. What arrangements did Lois make for Jon's book? I wonder if Clark's quick exit was for that reason.

Thanks ^_^ and I love Tal and hope to do him justice here.
I'll post the rest of this shortly!

I should have written a comment a week ago but I waited until I was on the PC because it is difficult from a cell phone.

I loved the way this story develops but there is one point that I liked the most:


Since I first saw the L&C series (many years ago =P) I always imagined how terribly alone he must have always felt, even if he manages to blend in with humans and Lois accepts him unconditionally... his loneliness is enormous!!
And not only his loneliness, the fact of being so strong and invulnerable and not being able to feel a caress or fraternal gesture without limitations, without worrying about hurting the person he touches or hugs. Because let's be honest, we have all gone through moments of breakdown where we need to be held by someone else, where we feel broken and only a strong hug can keep us standing...

That's why I liked this paragraph so much, Clark doesn't need to limit himself in front of his brother, he doesn't worry about hurting him and at the same time he can receive the same displays of affection from Tal without limitations.

I can't imagine what life must be like when the only hard touches you get are hits from enemies... Because no matter how hard Lois tries, her tightest hug would be light as a feather for Clark.

I wrote all this in Spanish and relied on Google Translate. I hope nothing was lost when translating.

Thanks for your story. I'll keep reading

Glad you're liking this, and thanks for reviewing .

And yeah, I've always been struck by how the world must feel to him, especially the having to be careful ALL THE TIME. That would have to get exhausting.
Anyway, more to come ^_^

And the google translate did a good job. No issues
