Thanks, I appreciate the massage and the meds, even though they're virtual.

I just spent part of my lunch time cutting three earlier non-Lex POV scenes which may be just what I need to get this done in time. It was going to take too much time and effort to describe the non-Lex battle scenes and if I keep the entire story Lex POV, it gets a whole lot easier (and better, I think). The deleted scenes are still on my LJ posts (and marked as such) - sort of a DVD extra.

I just had to remind myself that I've spent a lot of time at in my line of work figuring out how to make broken things work in impossible deadlines. :-D
