I wasn't aware that bandwidth was being rationed. Teach me to miss staff meetings...Actually, I think it's a fine story. (A high point for me was Sara's refreshingly "normal" post-reaction to having a gun in her face; another was your use of Luthor's observation in another context, making it sound a bit less malevolent.) And you captured the tone of the show, and the interaction of its characters, very well; I just felt like goofing on some of its tropes, including one that I knew wouldn't translate well to text.
(At least I didn't ask about the opening aerial shot of New Avalon. ;) )
