Lovely twist on travelling the world -- and it's amazing what a little foreknowlege and superpowers will do to enhance one's journalistic reputation.
I was a little unclear on this, at first:
“So you don’t mind holding on to the Luthorcorp stock?”
“It’s a stupid idea, Clark. Do you know how much money we’d lose…?”
“We don’t need any more money,” Clark said, kissing her on the neck. “And I couldn’t live with selling it off to unsuspecting investors.”
They got rich off this stock (and others) but Lois anticipates its value crashing when Lex is arrested, right? Or even when his plans begin to be mysteriously foiled? But Clark would feel guilty if they made someone else lose tons of money. It seems clear enough now, but the first time through I had to puzzle it out. (And my contrary streak says that the various parts of Luthorcorp should regain value sooner or later, anyway)
The bit with Tempus at the end, I'm undecided about. I understand the temptation to try to head off all the damage he'll do, but then that would completely erase this new timeline, wouldn't it? Oh, the paradox...
Fascinating ride, Shayne! Thanks for sharing it.
