Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
I considered not letting Lex get away, but there are really two reasons that I did what I did. The first reason is that keeping Lex out of jail allows the story to mostly line up with "Lois and Clark" continuity since he doesn't get caught until the end of season one. The other reason is that Lex is one of my favorite villains, so writing him as hard to take down is fun for me.

The next time I write a fanfic, I think I'll have a rough draft written out before I start posting instead of just having my outline like I did this time. That way, there won't be so much time between posting chapters if I get really busy at work like I did midway through this fanfic.
