Poor Clark. You are running yourself to the ground looking for Bruce. You need to rest so you can continue to search for Bruce with fresh eyes and ears.

He does need to rest, definitely! I'm not sure Alfred can get through to him right now, though... :(

Oh wow, *glomps Clark*. He's just falling apart without his Bruce, isn't he? Great chapter mithen! I really like the sense of loss and frustration you're written in. Looking forward to the next part.

*grin* It's never too difficult to tap into the feeling of being overworked and still falling behind and put that energy and strain into a story. :) Clark's got it a bit worse than I do...no one's hoping I'll save their life no matter how stressful things get, thank goodness!

Oh, poor Clark! I can just *feel* the tired from him, and the frustration and the whole...unravelling of it all. Although, I know it's a really small bit, and it's expected, but I still love Gordon pointing out that Clark's Doing It Wrong, when it comes to being Batman. It's just a small little thing, but it's my favorite part of the chapter, besides all of it.

Mmm, there are few who know Batman, the public persona, better than Jim Gordon. It's a special kind of relationship, I love catching it in fic here and there. I'm glad the moment worked for yoU!

Poor Clark so frantic without his Bruce

I know, he totally falls apart. :/ It's usually a functional dysfunction, if that makes sense...

I have a thing for Clark in Batman's costume, like you couldn't imagine. hee! So thanks for this. :) (and it was especially nice to come home and find this, after spending 12 hours straight at the office)

I also love that this part is fast-paced, filled with action and so much anxiety on both Alfred and Clark's part - sad for them, but great for me. ;) If I hadn't been so tired, I expect I would have been on the edge of my seat the entire time, but...well, I'll lying on my back, so... *lol*

I'm really looking forward to the next part. :D

*grin* He spends a lot of time in it in this arc, too! Yes, I have rather a thing for it as well. :)

If I hadn't been so tired, I expect I would have been on the edge of my seat the entire time, but...well, I'll lying on my back, so... *lol*

After 12 hours at the office, I can hardly blame you! *grin* I'm glad the pace worked--it was a tough one to keep balanced in this arc, and I felt like I was rushing a little here and there, but on the other hand dragging it out too much would be really painful...

*hugs* Hope you're sleeping well!
