What a fun challenge!
The drinking problem actually could be amusing, although I haven't time to write it up as a full story. Here's my synopsis: Clark has a drinking problem; he wishes to know what it's like to be hung over (in order to better relate to humans), but his drinking problem is that he can't get drunk. Wells agrees that this would help him better relate to mere mortals and attempts, unsuccessfully, to come up with something from the future that would let him feel the effects of alcohol. Mr. Mxyzptlk's 5th dimensional "magic," however, succeeds where Wells had failed. Martha nurses the drunk Clark back to health.
And I'm not going to write this story at all, but: Tempus was just set up on a blind date with Jimmy.
Joy,
Lynn
