Thanks for the feedback! I know this chapter wasn't particularly interesting. I was hoping to get into something more related to the story itself and save the Chad stuff for later, but it just fit here. While I'm not sure the next chapter sets up what this story is about better, I do think it might be more interesting.
At the very least, it establishes Lois and Clark better.
Carol - Thanks for the tip about the email notifications! And by the way, I have used your latest suggestion for that one small detail. I'm pretty sure it's also you're spelling I'm using for the other detail we discussed to death.
AnKS - You are correct - this Clark has some elements of the Clark we're used to, but being younger, I sort of see him as needing to become that Clark. He's definitely not there yet.
And on that note, Lois is similar. She definitely has some recognizable features from the Lois we know, but she, too, isn't sure who she is yet. As a result, even more than Clark, she comes across as younger, if not plain weird.
Thanks, robinson and Patrick!
I hope to have the next part up tomorrow. There's some small chance I won't get to it as I need to work late tomorrow night, but if not, I'll post the next part on Tuesday.
