Why this must be read:
Reckoning might be one of the most glaring examples of retconning in a show infamous for it. Many fans never bought the happy, perfectly loving and accepting Lana who's more than thrilled to find out Clark's an alien and, lucky for us,ladydreamer is one of them. Her story brings a realistic look at just what really happened at the Fortress that day and, more importantly, it brings forward an opportunity for Clark to realize just who is loyal to him and who can help him soar.
Excerpt:
“I’ve seen what those things do. Are you one of them?” Lana asked coldly.
Clark blinked in disbelief. He’d known that Lana was afraid of aliens. He’d know that she hated the Disciples of Zod who had come during the second meteor shower. Still, he’d somehow expected that their love for one another would allow her to make an exception. But her frightened eyes, her wide and gaping mouth, lip curled back… she was obviously terrified and disgusted by him.
“There were so many days I wanted to tell you,” Clark whispered, moving away from her and straightening his back. He felt horrible and awkward, a big terrible thing.
