Thanks, Lieta and Ann!
Yes, Ann, that was Superman thinking back on his own life. We'll see more of that throughout - I'm pretty sure there's a few more written like this one that are intended to show Superman's perspective on how things should go (some posted in earlier chapters, some in later ones), and although they are not written yet, I'm intending to round out the story with a series of Superman flashbacks once I finish incorporating the Lois ones. Those will probably focus more on showing his life aside from what we've seen in the show, though. Basically, at least as it's in my head right now, they will focus on the years post-show.
Yeah, Lex is creepy, but he's pretty important to first season LnC, so expect to see more of him...
