Neat premise. It will be interesting to see how Lois approaches this situation differently. "Crazy, right? Nothing else going on in the world today, apparently. Ugh, where am I supposed to park? Oh, there's a spot."
"Lois, that's somebody's lawn..."
"It's brown," she said dismissively. That had me laughing - so Lois. "Michelle," said Lois, "there's no record of Superman before 1993. No sightings, nothing. And yet you're insinuating that you knew Superman... more than three years ago? Would you care to explain how that's possible?" I just saw this episode for the first time last night and it irked me that this was never brought up. And that kid looks more like five than three (but that's more a comment on the show itself  Looking forward to more Joan

Delightful start. Love the setup and IIRC the boy's powers fade rapidly.
So it will be interesting to see if Clark arrives at the correct conclusion or if he assumes there are other Kryptonians on Earth.
While Clark knows how slowly his own powers developed, and he knows he wasn't Charles, He can't be certain some other Kryptonian isn't roaming around.

As for the child, in my story, he's 3 b/c he's a slightly different character (and so's his mom. Similar situation, different people.) Originally posted by Framework4:

Oohh that's very true, I may have to tweak some things to include more debate about whether the boy could be Kryptonian. I think I know just where to do that, too. Thank you for the feedback!

LOIS:I don't like you.
MAYSON: Really? Oh god, that is such a relief - I don't like you either.
LOIS: That makes me feel so much better

Very intriguing start. Is there further mischief because since you changed the Stipanovices to the Drivers? And just how far will Lois's belief get shaken?  Michael

Oh! This is fun! Great premise! Can't wait to see where you take us!
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

I don't think I've read too many stories based on "COTOC" before - you've got a new and refreshing take on it!
Plenty of angst ahead for our heroes, I'm sure.

Is this your first story on these boards? I don't recognize your screen name, but you seem like an experienced writer.
Great premise, great characterization. Looking forward to seeing where you take this from here.
Happy
This *is* my happily ever after.
