Jenni, I am so thrilled to see Clark able to rescue these folks. I know it seems like he is in limbo but I am so glad to see him moving forward in his quest to become "normal" again.
I am pretty sure Lois will be unhappy but she might just have to learn to live with all of this.
Loving this story so much.

Wow! Even I, the A-plot hater (no, not hater exactly, but...) - well, even I couldn't help feeling my pulse racing as you took us through all the stages of Clark rescuing those trapped actors!
And his powers are coming back! Yay! But I have to agree that he was endangering his secret. Oh, but what he did was the right thing to do!

“Then try harder, you idiot!” David shouted angrily, though Clark was sure that fear goaded the man. “We need help! Fast!” Oh, yeah. He's definitely an actor.  Great chapter, Jenni. So in character for Clark to jump in and help. And in his defense, he did try to get someone else.

Another awesome part Jenni.
I loved that so true to the Clark of the show, despite not knowing what of if he could help, Clark couldn't help but... help.
We know there will be ramifications from this because Lois is going to 'react'... but even without the suit and all his powers... he is a super man... one of the endearing qualities that is Clark, and yet so few authors often persue this quality in him.
I also loved his reaction to the realisation his x-ray vision was returning. It was nice to see him surprised by a part of himself...
I am loving this Jenni. Your characters are so endearing. Keep it coming.. please!!

He did what any person would have done. Concrete formed that way is not as strong as a properly prepared mixture. Trust me, I know from experiance...  So, it isn't too likely that his secret was in danger, except how he 'heard' them in the first place. James

Great update, Jenni  It's nice to see his powers coming back bit by bit with each rescue. Poor Clark must have been so frustrated when everybody basically ignored the normal human bystander making himself important. Michael

Hi, I'm glad everyone enjoyed this part. It was written with Superman fans in mind! Ann, I'm glad I got your pulse racing. Lisa, I too think that Clark was probably most super when he wasn't wearing the suit, and that's what a lot of this story is about. Beth, I'm glad you recognize David as an actor. I like to keep in character at all times. And, lol, James. That's exactly what my husband told me about concrete. Michael, Clark's powers are coming back, but the jury is still out on just how much they will return. Thanks for the fdk. Yours Jenni

Jenni - read this in a hurry the other day...
So glad to hear that Clark's powers are coming back! Even if they're not all the way back yet.
I think Lois is probably going to let him have it though he could probably make the argument that since his hearing and xray vision were suddenly back, he assumed his invulnerability was too but didn't have a chance to test it before he went in to rescue those people.
More soon!

Hi, Robinson, I understand very well about RL kicking you in the butt ... and I've often used reading L&C fic as an escape from my troubles. I used to be able to write fanfic as an escape. Involving myself with Lois and Clark and their family used to be a great safety valve for me when life got stressful. I could forget my own problems while I wrote my family out of trouble. However, either my troubles are getting worse, or I'm older and less able to cope. Hopefully, though, my writing will keep ahead of my posting schedule, but I hope you will all understand if I miss by a few days now and then. Yours Jenni

What makes Clark a hero isn't his powers, but his inherent need to help others, and he's giving proof of that. Even without powers (full powers) he's helping and saving people any way he's able to.  Lois's going to have a fit about Clark dangling over the jaws of death again (oh, the irony) but at least his powers are coming back, and it should calm her down a bit. Clark can only hope so...  Waiting for next part. Andreia

Hi, This is just a quick thank you before I get on to the new part. But even though it's quick, it is definitely not shallow. Thank you so very much for sticking with my story. Yours Jenni
