The gods have decreed that reviews are acceptable as sacrifices.  Plus, they make me happy.

Clark had only been gone two hours. Well, that *is* enough time for him to not only find one tiny stone but bring home an entire mountain. . She kept picturing the scene from Indiana Jones when the giant boulder was released and nearly crushed poor Indy. Hmm… one can’t help but notice the similarity "He and I have faced a ton of monsters and warlords and gods and...well, you name it." Yes, but there’ve never been super-powered aliens. Am not so sure about love potions, though Michael

Well, that *is* enough time for him to not only find one tiny stone but bring home an entire mountain. One extra hour, and he can achieve world peace to boot! Hmm… one can’t help but notice the similarity "Toss me the whip!" "First toss me the Stone of Creation!" Yes, but there’ve never been super-powered aliens. Am not so sure about love potions, though Well, Herc did get zapped with one of Cupid's arrows once and went bonkers over Psyche. Yes, but there’ve never been super-powered aliens. Am not so sure about love potions, though *consults a nature guide* Well, first you take several kilograms of this really heavy ore, smash it together really hard, and, voila, instant city-be-gone It's like a god on steroids! Do they have power outlets in the underworld? Of course, Gabrielle would need to get an adapter, since Lois’s laptop has a US-style plug… Hmm… maybe Sisyphus could start on a bicycle with a dynamo instead of pushing stones up a hill.

Holy cow! The stakes are getting higher and higher. The kids...Lois "dying"...what's been happening with Herc and Clark while all this is going on?

Uh-oh, I sure hope Clark didn't arrive in time to see Xena 'killing' his wife! Something tells me that Xena wouldn't appreciate being yanked up above the atmosphere in a split second. And come on, does it really kill these guys to give a bit of an explanation before they go around sticking fingers in pressure points? Hope the kids are okay--and hurray for Jonathan and Martha knowing enough to keep the kids safe and not ask too many questions. Loved the bit about Perry in there!

Loved the bit about Perry in there! Thanks Anti-K! Oh, I've got plans for Lois and company. And having Clark bust up their little "I'm not dead yet" party isn't part of it. I'm much more evil than that. To be fair, only Lois would need an explanation of why they have to almost die. But yeah, it would have been nice for Xena to explain why. Of course, my muse is twisted and wanted to torture the reader just a little bit. Glad you liked Perry. I couldn't *not* write him in, even if only in passing. And yes, the Kents have long since learned when to just do and not ask questions.
