Jaxie, hurray, I was starting to get worried, as some days had passed between this part and the last. So, I was very happy to find this today.
I love your edgy Clark. He makes such good sense to me, as Linda is the newer, more innocent Kryptonian, and Clark is older, wiser, and bit quicker with his temper. Also, you are pushing all his buttons with the Lex Luthor dates baby cousin thing. Can't wait for them to find out that he isn't the son of Lex, but the original.
Also, got a kick out of poor Jimmy- trying to be brave and not report his head injury- then ending up in the hospital getting the 'full workup.'
Your combined humor, action, and romantic elements are right on.
I'd love to see Lois a bit more in on the action. Can't be easy to be in the middle of two super-powered family members, but our Lois is one tough woman (hear her roar...) herself.
Hoping for chapter 20 before too long,
