Hello everyone. Thanks. Unfortuantely, that's usually what happens when I ask questions like that.
I wonder what happen to my readers, and it turned out they were all just busy one way or another. I've been there before.
Honestly, I had just wondered if maybe some of you lost the thread. I have seen that happen before.
I probably should have waited until today or tommorrow. As much as I appreciate the FDK, I don't NEED it for this part. (I will need it for an upcoming part, but more about that later.)
Anyway,
Carol - Yes, Clark was investigating Larry without consulting Lois. Being in this situation reminded him too much of "Barbarians at the Planet" and "House of Luthor", even with Lois (at least subconciously).
And for the record Carol, I honestly don't see how you keep everything you've got going on straight! (especially with four young ones)
Countrygirl - Hi there. Yes, Clark can't believe a Luthor could be a good guy.
Lieta - Wait.
Nancy - Yes, it did blow up in Clark's face, to a certain extent.
Michael - Yes, Clark got very "driven" in this chapter.
And Larry's mother actually moved out of the fortress when he moved out (which was after he finished school). But I hadn't really mentioned that.
There may be more about the fortress in the squeal I'm planning.
