Author Website: Why this must be read:This fic is from the forum,
Divine Intervention which requires registration but it's free and there are some pretty awesome gems in there, both one-shots and serials. I don't usually like forum/message board set-ups for fics; I like simple, book-like set-ups for my fics
and for those danged kids to get off my lawn. This fic makes it worthwhile.
The story begins five years after Clark has disappeared in Season 6, shocked into training by the loss of someone very dear to him. He returned to avenge that persons' death and to free Lex Luthor, whom he believes was framed for murder. Unfortunately, his friends didn't take his disappearance too well and there are relationships to mend as well as a killer to catch.
There are no stereotypical guys when Scribe writes. Everyone has a motive and their actions sometimes forgive those motives. Clark can be a well-meaning prick, Lana can be a loving but unforgiving mother, Lex can be truly contrite yet scheming and Lois... well, okay, Lois is still Lois but DAMN is she fantastic!
