Yep. That's it. It's done. Hope you liked it. Please, let me know.

I wasn't planning on writing a synopsis for Chapter 10, unless I get the demand. I'm also willing to clear up any questions either via private message or here on the boards.

If you're wondering about the iceberg, can't help you, I don't know either. I'll wait until L&C write it up in the next edition of the DP. laugh Who was behind it really wasn't important in the grand scheme of things. Just my way of saying, life's back to normal in Metropolis and there's another bad baddy out there with whom to deal.

Once again I'd like to express my gratitude to the following people: My Betas: Lynn S.M., StopQuitDont, MozartMaid, Queen Of Capes, and the ever-wonderful, ever-supportive IolantheAlias! Batman wouldn't have been who he ended up being without the help of IolantheAlias, Queen of Capes, and Marcus Rowland. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you again for sticking with me through 109 parts. notworthy

Yep. 3am EST. But I grabbed the Blackberry first thing before work and read it. Left me wanting more. Which is the sign of a great piece of work. IE - where's the sequel?? smile smile

Thanks again VIrginia for writing this. I will be foLlowing the board§ more closely now and will try to catch up on your other fics!

Is it safe to have Lara in the DP day care given her powers/abilities?

Glad to see alt-Superman and Ultra Woman. Seems a promising setup for your next piece.

Love Jimmy becoming a member of the 'inner-gang'. (What - no Scooby gang?? Guess they're too old for that.)

Great way to wrap it up!

Nice wrap up to this convoluted and fun ride! Good job! Laura

Chris: Glad you enjoyed. The sequel is still firmly implanted in my mind. Hence the "Eventually." blush laugh I meant to get started on it months ago, but I got distracted by some silly fluff.

Joan: The Scooby Gang is what Buffy's group calls themselves. How about the "Justice League"? wink Alt-Clark and UW wreaking havoc on canonworld? laugh Aren't siblings a riot to have around?

Is it safe to have Lara in the DP day care given her powers/abilities?
And what powers/abilities would that be? Telephathy? With other Kryptonians/half-Kryptonians/her mom? She never demonstrated super strength. Maybe she showed a bit of super brainpower being able to remember the day she was born, but I don't see how dangerous that would be others unless she turned evil, which is a stretch for most in daycare (not impossible, just a stretch). Her high metabolism? Are you afraid she's going to eat the day-care out of house and home? I think Bruce Wayne can afford to feed her one meal and a couple of snacks a day, five days a week.

Even according to her Grammy Ellen: “Other than her fast heartbeat, she acts just like any other baby her age. She doesn’t fly, she doesn’t shoot laser beams from her eyes, and she hasn’t once squeezed my finger so tightly that I thought it would break. She’s normal.”

Or are you thinking of this scene: Penny heard a soft thump and a whimper. There was Lara. She had scooted and scooted until she came to a stop at the breakfast nook. “How in the world did you get all the way in here so fast, little one?” She laughed, scooping up the little girl. “You certainly have your Daddy’s speed.” Penny gulped, staring at the baby in her arms. THAT, was Penny's overactive immagination. laugh Crawlers have a tendancy to get away from you very quickly, if you aren't paying them full attention and Penny hadn't been. The fact that Penny had put 1 & 1 together from that and her brother's lab going boom and figured out that Lara wasn't really adopted was pure dumb luck. evil

Laura: Thank you. Best wishes on you getting your land legs back quickly from my roller-coaster ride.

Jimmy thought about this cryptic exchange and then swallowed. Maybe he didn’t really want to know about the curse after all. With his luck, it was probably contagious.
Totally! It must be!

SOOOOOOO good! I enjoyed this. It was hard to stop reading! I literally thought about this story all day and all night. That doesn't happen to me often. Fantastic job, V!

Well, no. But if he tried it with Lois, he would still end up dead. Hmm…okay, it really *is* contagious.

Part II (too many Graemlins):

I also added in this paragraph:
Quote
Clark knew if Barry was involved in the lecture, it must be about Superman. They decided that they liked sharing the Superman beat with Barry. He covered the little everyday stuff, and it freed them up to concentrate on what Lois liked to call the ‘juicy stuff’. The Man of Steel had taken the day off yesterday for Lara’s birthday, so Clark wasn’t sure about what Perry was in such an uproar.
I hope it works.

Quote
Oh. Right. And those two definitely need to lose their driving privileges for a while.
razz But maybe L&C visit Gotham City and help Bruce out with a new cold snap they're having... maybe, this was just a whole huge set-up for the premiere episode of.... Damn, I never did get any suggestions on what to call Bruce's spin-off show. goofy )

PS: I've only written one scene down for the sequel, so it's not showing up until at earliest end of 2012 or sometime in 2013.

What are you going to do with all of your spare time? Write?
Yeah. Quizzes wink And try to do my V-day vignette that's been in perfect hibernation since last year. It looked like this when I pulled it out:

Yes, I could have lots of fun with lots of little Lara vignettes.

I haven't read "Hypergirl" or any of the other Season 5/6 tellings of the show. I didn't want them to influence my story. Now, that I'm finished (and hopefully convince SOMEONE in my family that I need a Nook) I can finally get to them. smile1

Yes, "Bat in the City" was a spoof on "Sex in the City". laugh I liked "Gotham Nights" too, but since he'll also show up during the day as Bruce... evil I've already got another story to send to Archives and I haven't yet started on my re-read of NH, plus my cutting room floor V-Day story (posting around V-Day). So, soon, LabRat will be sick of me. laugh

I have started sending my other alt-Clark / alt-canon Lois drama story to beta's today. It's the first story of a 3 book trilogy(over 20 parts a story, hence "book"). Will that cool you back down to a Darth? wink

WOW! I hadn't read this story when it was being posted because I was so behind in my reading that the (?/109) scared me a little. hyper

Wow, thanks, Andreia. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I currently have it at GE for the Archives, so if there are any bumps or potholes that could be smoothed out before it finally uploads over there, I'd love to hear them.

The sequel is on the back burner at the moment because I'm working on my new alt-Clark epic trilogy (I've broken up the story into 3 separate stories so not to repeat my 109 post monstersaga). As I said to Michael, if I don't get bogged down, I'll try to work on it in earnest by the end of 2012 or in early 2013. (That doesn't mean that I'm not working on details in my head, though).

Thanks for reading. I'm currently working through everyone else's epics I've been teased with from the quizes, so I understand completely. thumbsup

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't been to sleep before 4am for a week now, I'm nearly halfway done with this monster, I'm having daydreams about Kal, my brain hurts due to time-travel twists and IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

*wanders off to get some sleep before the sun comes up and work demands my presence* Humph..

Jesus, Virginia, you've totally sucked me in. I'm reading till my eyes can't focus!!!
