This chapter actually turned out much longer than it was originally supposed to be. So yes, it looks as though 15 may be the final total. Maybe. *evil grin*

I'm so happy you enjoyed it, sweetie! And I'm thrilled that my evil plan to periodically entice you back to fandom seems to be working! I'm sorry that Real Life is still crazy for you, but I'm always so glad to see you back! *hugs*

This chapter definitely was a bridge to the end, though there's still quite a bit of story left to go! (Where did I put that Metro Man subplot? Ah! There it is!) Hope you enjoy what's to come, too! ;)
