Awwwwww. How sweet.  You left it until the end which pair grouping this was. I didn't think it was Clark and Lois as it didn't seem like them. Michael is an Irig? Wayne's nephew? Great-Nephew, I mean? One question though, Ken. Thursday night when the fire broke out I was the first one you woke up because you were sleeping between me and Jon. That seems a bit intimate for... what? 11? What kind of camp has boys and girls sleeping in the same cabin? I've only been to camp once, and we were all separated. Or do you mean her cabin was between Michael's and Jon's? Very sweet. You do romance well. Hint-Hint. Only 6 more to go.

Hi Virginia, Actually his last name is Lee. Michael Lee. So Lara's married name is Lara Lee (LL). They were not in cabins. They were roughing it on the ground, under the stars. No tents, just sleeping bags.  That was the way we did it in 'Y' summer camp.

That was the way we did it in 'Y' summer camp. Thanks for the clarification about the sleeping arrangements. I thought "Lee" was his middle name.

Hi Virginia, Eventually I will be posting a spreadsheet showing all of the names of the family members.  Mike and Lara are both lawyers working for a firm in LA. She specializes in contracts with New Krypton.  Your closing statement just hit me.

Aw! Very sweet! I thought for sure it was Lois and Clark to start, but very cute the way you painted their relationship so similarly. And a baby! Job well done.

Mouse, Thanks for the FDK! I was trying for misdirection, to make the reader this it was Lois and Clark until the reveal in Hawaii. I wanted the movie to be the giveaway.  BTW: Thanks to a suggestion from Virginia, I'm working on a part 2.

Another note,
I did edit the story to clarify the relationship between Michael Wayne Lee and his great uncle Wayne Irig.

I'm late coming to the party, but this was a sweet, fun story. I was wondering how Lois and Clark could stay so young.
Surprise! The joke is on me!
Nice fic.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Hi Morgana,
Thanks for the FDK!
Yes, as I said in another reply I was going for misdirection.
I have been working on another story and it will be going up shortly.

Let’s see… High in the air over a major metropolitan area hovered a woman wearing a spandex suit with a mask and cape. Lara? Or Jon's wife reminiscing? While she hovered there she had time to reflect on her past. Just how she had come to this stage of her life; how it was that she was here wearing this very revealing, form fitting costume.  Lois? <If not for him I might not be wearing this uniform and doing these things. Sounds maybe more like Lois, given that Lara can fly without external intervention… I gave him a little tap to put him to sleep for a while Does he still have a face? and then used his shoe laces to secure his hands and his own belt to bind his legs. She could also have broken his bones and tied the limbs directly? His response took her by surprise, “Of course I do. It just happens to be the anniversary of the day we first met all those years ago. I’m still going with Lois. But aren’t the vigis about the kids? Since I just thought about it. Lara is 22 in here. How long does it take for their spouses to develop powers? This was a 3-D version of “The Incredibles” only this was not a cartoon. They had real actors playing the parts and a lot of CGI effects.

Hi Michael,
I hope you appreciated the use of your name, not really.
Actually even though Lara was second born she was first wed. She married before college and she and Mike went through college and law school together
At the time of this story they have passed the bar and are with a firm in LA.
I'm glad you liked my little story.

As a rule, I'm assuming name usage is coincidental unless otherwise noted She married before college and she and Mike went through college and law school together They must have been annoyingly happy and all over each other during college. Are you going to show us snippets of their coupliness in college-situations? Michael

Hi Michael, Thanks for the suggestion. I might just do that, once I have all of the couples together. You have two more to read and then there are four more to go.

I like the changes, Ken. I think you'd need more than one afternoon of baking Chocolate-chocolate chip cookies to please this crowd of Lois's descendants.

/nods/ Although, Luise is just coming into her powers. With a bit of superspeed, superstrength, and heatvision, I'm sure she can move things along. Michael

Hi Virginia, I was encouraged by certain individuals <<cough, cough, Labby>> to edit the series into a single story for the archive. I needed a way to bring it into the Labor Day party so this is what I cam up with.
