Last June was apparently a bad time for me getting comments! Sorry about having missed this one for so long.

Glad you liked this fic... it's very much a need for a family, and yes, how there was a lack of one but wanting one so desperately... Conner needs to learn that, since he's never had one before. Good insight on Lex, because he hasn't had one before either - Lionel is not really a family in any sense of the word, though Lex tried to make him one. Conner will definitely fight to keep his family!
