AntiKryptonite I really enjoyed this part, though the phone conversation between Lois and Clark was really sad, reminding me of those episodes where he's always running off on her.
Yup, that was the idea. And this Lois is even more insecure because of her guilt.
Clark's search of the house and his memories was really precious, and the journal entries were exceptionally poignant. I was able to see Martha writing them with Jonathan in the background.
Thanks! I really enjoyed writing this scene. And the journals came really easy --Martha Kent is a strong character and even in a journal you kinda know what she wants to say!
scifiJoan I like the new way you've introduced his history and the suit. (Though I wonder how his mother knew the right size to make [Smile] ).
Thanks! I had decided I would get him into the spandex, but wanted to do it without having Lois come into this alt-verse (although, honestly, I've really only borrowed Lois and Clark from this verse...)I know it was a bit of a stretch that Martha would know his size... but hey, it's spandex! As IolantheAlias said in her beta-read, 'hey, it's stretchy!'
And it serves the purpose of the story and gave Clark a connection to his dead parents.
