Is this already the Christmas Episode? And shouldn’t that have been the one on the North Pole? Or are you going to give us a nice cozy-warm Christmas in Luxor? Two, maybe three mortal lifespans since he'd been to the Rainbow Bridge. This is *sooo* odd Michael

This is *sooo* odd I know. He’s getting old. But lucky for him, Clark’s always been a boyscout and would never make fun of the elderly, but instead help them across the world. Just one more badge and he gets to become an Eagle Scout (or whatever the level above Boy Scout is). Exactly. I only see a pot of gold. Actually, it's a pot of gold coin chocolates. Also, to please just enter the security code and just shut off the stupid alarm system. And to take in the mail and water the plants. Relocated to a Swiss bank vault? Actually, that would have been a fun twist. Unfortunately, they’d never get it out of there They really should look into putting the Kryptonite there too. S.T.A.R. Labs is too easy to break into. Didn’t he at one time hold the entire world? Boy, did he get *old*. In mythology, yes. In the show, no. How about he dresses up as…say…Herakles, the superhero? Ooooh...he can bring back that stylish yellow shirt and those brown leather pants! And Lois will get reincarnated. And reincarnated. Aaaand reincarnated. But Utopia will get kind of boring… It's that whole waiting for her to be of legal age thing that'll kill him. They’re called fluorescent tubes. And I don’t want to see the power bill they charge Odin. he should really install some solar panels to help cut the cost... *G* And isn’t that against the Genevea Convention, using POWs as guard dogs?

Loved the inclusion of the Frost Giants. Too perfect. Though still wondering what's gonna happen to Lois and co. back home- Clark should be thinking of that more than his favorite Italian food place in Rome... Needless to say, good job! Can't wait to find out what happens next- and what's in store for them in Egypt.

Actually, it's a pot of gold coin chocolates. He should have taken Lois? It's that whole waiting for her to be of legal age thing that'll kill him. Honeymoon, or better, wedding night, should be...fun Michael

Glad you liked the frost giants. I blame watching the Thor movie for that little inclusion. Yes, Clark probably *should* have stopped in at home. But seeing Lois and company dying on the floor would have killed *him*. What's in store for Egypt? Nothing good.

quote; 'Clark into the closest standing pillar with such force that the end that Clark was clinging >>>too <<< should use 'to' cleaved straight through the crystalline stone. He let go of his end, flying off to one side." I apologize for the critique.
I do like the story though.

I do like the story though. Thanks, Hank! I'm always looking to clean up the fics before my editors get it when I submit it to the archive! Glad you are enjoying it.

Ooh, I absolutely LOVE the part where Clark questions Hercules about what it's like to live so long. I can't imagine how terrifying it must be for Clark, who's so connected to the people he loves, to envision a world where he lives on without them. Nicely done!
And what a great way of showing Clark's power--by having Hercules look at him while he's fighting the Frost Giants and for that instant see only Superman. Kind of helps explain why no one can put Clark and Superman together!
Glad they've gotten two of the pieces without as much trouble as it could have taken. I'm liking the two men's relationship; it's different to see Clark paired up with a male for these missions, different and interesting.

I'm liking the two men's relationship; it's different to see Clark paired up with a male for these missions, different and interesting. Thanks again! Writing the relationship between Clark and Herc was my favorite part of this fic. I based it a lot on the relationship between Herc and Iolaus, which I always admired about the show. It was a real treat to write scenes in which Clark gets to quest about with another man, and one who totally gets his dual life. Glad that you liked the scene with Clark worrying over his possible long life. I had Brutal Youth on the mind when I wrote that, because it's such a real "duh! everything else about Clark is different" moment. And I love that you love the comment about Herc seeing only Superman. I always have admired the completely different personalities that Dean put into both aspects of the Clark/Superman persona.
