I hope this is a good thing for you, Rac. I've never liked moving for any job, but sometimes it has to happen. Best of health to you and smooth sailing (or flying, whichever applies).
This really touched me.
She loved him because despite all of the brutality and viciousness that world had visited upon him, despite everything it had stolen from him, despite the story of cruelty that it had written into his flesh, he was at his core, still as caring and compassionate as he had ever been. His enemies on New Krypton had tried to strip him of everything that made him a good man. They had failed. He was Clark Kent. And so long as he was alive, so long as there was breath in his body, he would be the very definition of humanity and decency.
And this really made the small hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Jiang said nothing in response. He would consider this phase of the operation when he could hold the item in question. Examine it for himself.
Chilling! And now we have to wait a few weeks to see if he does, indeed, have Kryptonite, and if so, how he plans to use it against Superman and/or Ultra Woman. Of course, the "item in question" might be a canister of Sarin, or a highly corrosive acid which dissolves human bodies without a trace. You're being most cagey with this info, and you're doing it just as Clark seems to have achieved a measure of regained confidence and our favorite couple are once again considering parenthood. I don't see how you could have devised a more cunning cliffhanger, Rac. My compliments.
Post the next chapter when you can and not before! We promise to be patient. This story is worth the wait.
