*gasp*

Will the toxin wear off for Clark? Or will he need Bruce's help to get over the fear?

*bites nails nervously*

You will update again very, very soon, right?

*gives jen big sad puppy dog eyes*

Please?

And, just so you know, giving Clark fear of both heights and dark is brilliant hurt/comfort when he's in a relationship with a nocturnal bat who lives dark, gloomy Gotham.

I mean Superman afraid to fly and afraid of Bruce's town? Yikes...

All joking aside, I hope you can update again very, very soon.

I think the toxin has "technically" worn off--that is, he's not afraid of the dark anymore and he can fly all right (although having lingering effects is a great idea! *makes notes* Kryptonian biology being different from human is so useful sometimes!) But the psychological after-effects of the night are definitely staying with him, and it'll take time and maybe more to get over it...

I'm almost done the next chapter and I have a block of time set aside to write today, so it shouldn't be too long until the next update! *hugs* Eee, thanks so much for the comment! *dances*

Oh, I'm relieved you're going to be updating quickly. I'll really be looking forward to your next update, if you couldn't really tell.

I can't stand waiting to see what's going to happen next.

*hugs* You are totally making my day! And you've prompted some changes in the next chapter, too... *ponders and makes more notes*

[dm_wyatt]

Yeah?

Cool!

*grins lots and hugs back*
