Wow! I am suitably impressed. I enjoyed the draft of this chapter when you sent it to me, but the rewrite and additions with Dr. Matsumoto and the weapons add SO MUCH to it! Really increases the tension in the conversation, as if the content of the conversation itself isn't tension-provoking enough, especially for poor Clark.

This just keeps getting better and better. I love your characterizations of both Lexes and of their respective Supermen. And with the realizations Evil Lex is coming to about a Superman who cares for him, I am becoming curiouser and curiouser about how his ongoing experiences with Good Lex's Superman and his Superman's experiences with Good Lex are going to affect their relationship when they get back together... assuming they DO get back together and they keep their memories of the exchange. But I have faith you will end this in a satisfying manner. How could you possibly deny Good Lex and his S.M. a happy--and sexy--reunion?! And if they get theirs, so too do Evil Lex and his S.M., right? Looking forward to more whenever you have the time and motivation to write it.
