Hi,

Great part.

This was kind of funny too, as I was feeling a little heartless at the moment:
Catheters are no fun, but if you are sufficiently sick and in hospital, you are going to get one. Anyway, imagining Superman with a catheter - and even Caitlyn inserting it - is kind of funny.

I know a cat like that. Would you believe she actually inspired my TOC signature? Don't ask.

That last part with Zared, Jenni and Jon was a little confusing to me. Zared and Jenni were trying to persuade Jon to tell Hannah about Superman, weren't they? And Jon wouldn't do it, so he just flew away. Except... he did tell her in the previous chapter! Or didn't he make it perfectly clear to her that Clark is Superman?

I'd better run now, before I say something that makes Caitlyn haunt me....

Hey, Ann, I thought you might like the calendar idea. Wouldn't that be great?

What Jenni wants to know is why Clark so readily agreed to introduce Hannah to Superman. He told Hannah something to the effect of, "I'll see what I can do." Jenni had been hounding Clark for years to meet Superman and he never would say yes or even maybe - he mostly just shrugged. Maria posted this section in her feedback and it appears I could add a couple of lines. I'll work on it.

I rather like it that Caitlyn can get away with teasing poor Clark so unmercifully.

Ann

I particularly liked the December idea....

I sure would be able to buy this calendar. LOL

Poor Clark. But very good scene. I love it when Clark is embarassed about something. I think he's never as cute as when he is embarrassed.

Very good part. I'm eager to read the next chapter.

Hi Classicalla,

I've only just been able to read another wonderful installment.

I'm really looking foward to meeting Meowoof and learning more about Hannah and her meeting Superman and starting to properlly manage her powers. (Maybe I should have used the strangled cat gremlin as poor Meowoof really sounds mixed up!)

My wife liked the poor embarassment poor Clark had to suffer after being babysat by one of his many daughters - well,she says, it could have been worse, it could have been his mother-in-law.... (However, I can't complain, my mother-in-law is a wonderful lady and we get on very well together and I'm blessed because she gave me her precious daughter.)

Keep up the good work and let us have much much more please!

Regards,

SNL

Oh, my Ellen Lane taking care of him.... Did you read the part where Brook actually suggested that and the rest of the family laughed?

Due to some of the feedback, I made some changes to the last section of Chapter 16. I hope it makes more sense that way. Since the particular section was somewhat short, I will also post it here. Thanks again to everyone that has posted feedback.

The additions are in italics.

Jon went out the door to where Hannah's car - nice one at that - was parked to get her bags. Ah, the perks of having one of the world's richest men as a father. She'd driven here. He thought that she didn't fully realize the magnificence of flying and how much faster it was than taking her car. Although if he had a car like that, he might think about driving more often. Then he wondered if she'd ever even flown before. He was glad his dad hadn't tried to suppress their powers. When he came back in, he walked by Jenni's room.

Zared said, "Hey Jon. I hollered at you when you passed a second ago, but you didn't seem to notice. Come in."

"Well, I can't stay long." He sat Hannah's stuff down outside the room and walked in a sat down. "Did you want something, Zared?"

"Actually, Jon, dearest future brother-in-law, I'm wondering about something. Maybe you can enlighten me since you were there." He looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"What I was I there for?" She gave him a look - one of her Jenni leers, as he called it. She never leered at Zared - all she had to do was bat her lashes. That had never worked on him even when they dated. He just shrugged. "I'll do what I can."

"When Hannah, you, and I were in your dad's office talking, she told your dad that she would like to meet Superman and he said, 'I'll see what I can do.' Just like that! 'I'll see what I can do.' I've been asking him to introduce me to Superman for years and he always danced around the issue. That blew me away. I mean, I know *now* that Clark is Superman. What I don't understand is why he so readily agreed to introduce Hannah to Superman." She just shook her head.

Zared said, "That's absolutely *all* she's talked about all evening."

Jon looked like an animal caught in a trap. "Really?" He nearly strangled on his answer. Zared and Jenni both looked at him very intently.

Jenni said, "Then you *do* know why he said that?"

Jon just sat there with his mouth half open and his eyebrows raised. "Well... uhhh... I... uhh..." He sat there for the merest moment and then literally flew out the open door.

Zared and Jenni just looked at each other.
