It's great to see you back with this, Barbara!
It did feel like deja vu to read the second half of this, the Clark part, because of the unforgettable scene where Clark is confused, lost, hurt and without any memory of who he is, let alone
where he is. And then suddenly he sees this:
He noticed something on the ground that didn't look like it belonged to this place. It didn't look like garbage - at least he thought it didn't. It was more like a dark form that resembled a man. But with the lack of light he couldn't be sure. As he approached the shape, he realized there was indeed a person lying on the ground. It was a man who wasn't moving at all. He hoped that the man was breathing. Carefully, he kneeled down beside the large frame. He knew that he should search for a pulse. Waves of dizziness washed through him as he leaned forward. He touched the man's neck and felt something wet. Suddenly his hand was set on fire in an intense jolt of pain. He gasped for air, struggling to remain on his feet instead of giving into the agony.
Clark sees a seemingly lifeless man on the ground, and when he touches him he experiences dizziness and an intense jolt of pain!
Who is that man? Why does he affect Clark like that?
I remember the last time you started on this story. You made me think that that other man was Superman, who had somehow been split away from Clark. And if I remember, that Superman was an ominous character.
You write a wonderful Clark and a wonderful Lois! I feel such sympathy for both of them. I'm very glad that you are back with this story, and I'm so eager to see how you will resolve it, Barbara!
