As all good things must, this has come to an end.

But it was a great ride.

I somewhat am slightly (only slightly!) disappointed that the problem with the AI wasn't an aberration, a problem that reverting to an earlier copy wouldn't solve. Then again, I am a technophile, and am rather fond of Jor-El.

Then again, it is Marcus' story, and who am I to begrudge him that? It is a great story, regardless.

Can I save this in my personal collection of fanfic I've collected?

Sure, by all means save it. But I've submitted it to the archive last night, you might want to wait for that since it'll be a single file.

I went with totally destroying the Jor-El AI because it can't be trusted - for the purposes of this story even the original AI was trying to manipulate Clark when Jason was conceived, the backup manufactured after Luthor stole that is even less reliable. And OK, yes, I wrote it that way because I wanted to end with a nice big explosion, but why not?

Thanks - one small problem, the title of chapter III and the first subtitle, The Fortress of Solitude, have ended up on the same line.

Thanks.
And, I understand (from the story's standpoint) why you did it. It's just me looking at the story through nostalgia-goggles, I fully admit.

Holy crap! Using Times New Roman as the font, it comes out to 99 pages at size 12, 88 pages at size 11! That's one hearty story!

Librarian: Thanks for the quick fix

Brin_Londo5: Yes, I was a bit surprised too, I expected it to be a relatively short story but it ran away from me. There was originally going to be even more, but I decided to cut the scene where Ziva and Abby take down the Joker while Kara is busy doing something else, Gibbs teaching Kara about boatbuilding, Kara (in the short-lived Karen persona) experimenting with Goth makeup, and so forth.

I nearly forgot this picture, a crude attempt at Kara's costume for the White House visit.

Well, you could always write those as a semi-sequel, little side-ficlets in sort of a "Deleted Scenes" series of stories, like the special features of many DVD's.   Cheesy

I  never got very far with those scenes - I think I may write a sequel sooner or later, but I need to do other things first.
