Thank you all for the feedback!
Kim-- No matter how tempting it may be to try to live someone else's life for him/her, it's just not something you can do...But rest assured Martha isn't happy about the Kryptonite!
IolantheAlias--
Dare I hope that he will start adjusting to his abilities?
I don't know-- dare you?
Hehehe.
How long has he been poisoning himself? Did he have firm control of his abilities before whatever it was happened?
More to come on these issues.
Framework--
Thanks!
Plus you've set him up to have his powers and be able to swallow the bomb.
Have I? *shifty eyes*
Ann--"super-fortio-phobia"--I'm guessing that "fortio" is referring to his strength? And you're absolutely right that it would be awful to be arachnophobic and constantly sprouting spiders! That picture was particularly terrifying even for someone who isn't especially phobic haha!
Your discussion of snakes as a symbol of healing is really interesting. I guess maybe that's where the medical symbol of the snake on the rod comes from?
Clark has found something that he fears more than his own powers - he fears watching Lois die and being unable to help her more than he fears his powers.
That is good, isn't it!
DW--
Thanks!
I liked how you included the part with the Fudge Castle - I would also like to go there since it sounds like heaven
For sure!! There really need to be more chocolate places...
Michael--
Clark's convenient regain of his powers just for the safe was well setup and didn't feel at all forced.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that.
Just, where's the costume
Costume? Psh. Why would he need that?
Thanks!
PS: I'd say this shard of kryptonite is done for.
It did kind of explode, didn't it? :p
Thanks again, everyone!
