Thanks so very much! I hope it'll continue to be a fun read for everyone.

Great chapter! I can't help but feel sorry for Richard in every post SR fic...but it's either that or have Clark and Lois apart and unhappy for the rest of their lives! Oh, well... ;)

You're right -- I had to wrestle for a long time with the whole Richard situation. He's a great guy, a real hero, but Lois doesn't really love him like she should and I hope that there's a happy ending out there for him, but with someone else. . . .

That's the problem! He is a great guy, who deserves real love, and Lois obviously doesn't love him! But it makes me mad to think that she settled with him because she was pregnant, even knowing deep down that she didn't love him, that makes me a bit mad at her - or actually, Bryan Singer. OK, she probably thought he WAS Jason's father, having no recollection of the time Jason was concieved, but if they didn't love each other... Not to mention that Clark coming back and getting in the way of an apparent healthy family and destroying them...GAH!
Ok, don't mind me, I've been thinking over this, running in circles, ever since - or rather, BEFORE - the movie came out! No wonder I never wrote a post-SR fic, preferring to stick to the SR timeline - I just don't know how to deal with Richard! XD

I know what you mean. I was thwarted in trying to start this story for four months, turning over and over and over in my mind the whole situation with Richard. I like Richard. I don't want to turn Richard into a nasty, evil troll (as I've seen in a few stories). I also don't want to kill him off because I want to write him a bit. So, argh! Hard stuff ( ... )

I finally saw Superman Returns this weekend, and then came right over to read this story. I've a very interesting, compelling follow-up to the movie. I can't wait 'til the rest is done!

Chapter Four might be out to betas later today if all goes well!
