Interesting the different points people bring up out of this. Interesting, too, the answers I refuse to give you.
To answer the questions...
Terry: /rubs backside/ Ow. Okay. I promise you'll get more Monday, and I'll be writing more whenever I can. Glad you like the start. And yes, something wicked this way comes. As for your questions... well...
Ken: The needles are for testing. More will be explained soon enough.
Virginia: Okay, this I will clarify, as it will become apparent soon enough. **YES**, Lois knows about the visits to Doctor Klein. Yes she knows the purpose of those visits, and yes, she is involved in them too. Can't have you thinking now that Clark would go and do something like this without Lois' permission, now can I?
Also, this isn't really taking away his powers. At this point in time, it's all still for some testing.
Iolanthe: Don't worry. Again, Lois knows. And the side effects are to come.
Me, At This Very Moment Thanks everybody! I'm pretty sure I'll keep it Sunday/Mondays for you, but I'll let you know if that changes.
