Beautifully-written, Saavi! You kept the urgency of the RL events and intertwined them with our fictional heroes quite nicely.

Thanks so much, hon! I think Aftermath primed me for writing disasters with these characters, and something like this has been itching around in my brain since last week. O_O

Wow, thank you, hon! Honestly, right after I saw the first news reports, my first thoughts were, "Where's Superman!?" O_O

bradygirl_12 January 18 2010, 18:52:40 UTC

Yes! I thought of that, too! The world could really use a Superman.

Oh, this was just beautiful, saavi!

All in just fifteen seconds.

The truth in that line broke my heart. I loved the Lois POV throughout, the one staying at home, watching and getting the word out, while Clark does everything he can to help. Thank you so much for participating!

Thank you so much, hon!! I keep seeing that footage from when the quake hit, and they keep saying 'fifteen seconds', and it just sort of hits you, you know?

*hugs tight*

Oh that was such a wonderful thing to read first thing in the morning. If only he was here to help.

Thanks so much, hon! I keep thinking the same thing, and then feeling bad for wishing it, b/c, yeah. :/

Wow Baby, you compressed so much urgency in so few words. I felt the horror in Clark as he told Lois about the earthquake and really appreciated Lois' POV as she related not only Clark's efforts but reflected on his heart and emotions during his efforts. A very humane telling of heroic acts.
Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much! I've really been living in Clark and Lois's heads for the past 3 1/2 years, since SR, so I was glad to be able to tell this story.
