Darth Michael: I'm back. Maybe I can be to date on my FDK before posting the next part tomorrow night. hyper
Quote
I wonder if that might have any possible connection to the previous part
Pure coincidence. [Linked Image] These aren't the Black brothers you're looking for.

SUPERMAN: Oh, sorry.

Hmmmm. I just realized that either made Clark weak minded or in alliance with the Empire.

LEX: hyper I knew it!

Quote
So, to summarize, the Boss is not a very nice person?
LEX: Hey! I mean, yes, he doesn't sound very nice at all.

Quote
I did expect a cock fighting ring, though. Or some slave labor, instead.
Nah. I made them good refugees doing something illegal to help other refugees. The Boss doesn't discriminate.

LEX: See, he sounds like a very nice person.

LOIS: Except against women. He discriminates against women.

LEX: Don't listen to her. That's just my fiancee. /slaps her bottom/

LOIS: See!

Quote
By buying them out from the sweatshops and brothels the Boss has set them up in?
The Superman Foundation doesn't conduct business with criminals.

MURRAY: So, we hired them at the t-shirt factory where we produce Superman logo wear. The others we'll hold on to until the Kryptonian invasion and then we'll sell them cheap as Concubines.

SUPERMAN: What?! shock

MURRAY: Uh... nothing.

Quote
They could have tried the younger brother as an adult?
The point being is that Pete isn't smart enough to have figured that out. Anyway, I figured if he ended up in Juvie with Jack in canon, then the Boss has friends in the DA's office.

MAYSON: Don't look at me!

DA Clemmons: [Linked Image] What?! He donated to my campaign.

Quote
Now, look at that…He’s ready to move into the big leagues.
John Black is already in the big leagues. It's Pete who's trying to move on up.

Oh, dear. Did I not make the link? Or are you being silly?

Quote
Pecunia non olet
Is that Latin for "For the Money"?

Quote
Maybe Nigel is The Boss and Lex works for him?
Hey! I think Jack had that thought somewhere.

NIGEL: I like to let him think he's the Boss.

LEX: /hands Nigel a gun/ Go take care of that for me, will you?

Quote
Hmm…funny how it fits Lois, too.
Oh?

LOIS: Oh? What do you mean by that?

EW: [Linked Image] Nothing?

Quote
White collar criminal who buffed up in the joint?
No collar criminal trying to kiss butt.

Quote
So, he just thought she was a little heavy around the middle? Also, is it wise to insult the nice mister police inspector?
CRUSHER: She was behind a counter. And aren't they all officers of the Law?

Quote
Oh, her. She’s the niece of that nice man servant of Lex’s, isn’t she?
Wife of one of his computer programers.

Quote
Apparently, the creep doesn’t knows English, though.
Perhaps he didn't finish high school.

JACK: Hey! I resemble that remark! And I speak better than that.

My mistake. Middle school?

Quote
So, word got around that Bill’s treating those Wallstreet Punks the same as the other criminals after they trixed him out of his pension fund?
HENDERSON: No comment.

Quote
Well…some of them behave worse than animals when in female company.
True.

Quote
So, he’s one of the last honest made men out there? No, wait, he’s not from Sicily.
Um... no.

Quote
Government job.
clap No. Other man.

Quote
Yeah, prisons are said to not be the kindest place to men who do such things to pregnant women or children.
CRUSHER: She's fine. Geeze!

Quote
Wow, Crusher really was low on the totem pole when he got hired by the help’s help’s help’s help’s hired roughman.
That's Pete. John is the help's help's help's hired roughman.

So, maybe Superman is a bad guy after all! And could it be that John Black was actually in to get rid of Crusher here?
From a certain POV.

MAYSON: This job used to be easy before Big Blue showed up. Now, I can't even get a day off.

Quote
So, the Kryptonian finally snapped and got paranoid delusions.
SUPERMAN: I’ll also marry Lois Lane one day!
…paranoid delusions of grandeur apparently.
lol
Quote
BATMAN: [Linked Image] Commisioner, I’ve got some pretty stones here that can help with your vigilante problem.
COMMISHIONER: Um... Batman, *you're* my vigilante's problem.

Quote
Bill doesn’t know?
CAT: *Nightfall sized*? I *knew* they grew that big on Krypton!
That Lois is undercover? That CK=SM? Or that CK might be a little biased against a certain billionaire? And, no, Cat, that's not what I meant by "jones".

Quote
And here I was just purposefully misreading things
Nah. When I re-read what I wrote, I could hear Iolanthe making that comment, so I decided to give it to Henderson instead.

Quote
Wouldn’t it be awkward if he shot her in the leg and nicked her femoral artery?
CRUSHER: What's that?
EW: [Linked Image]
CRUSHER: Really? I didn't know that.
HENDERSON: [Linked Image]
LEX: What can I say? The good thugs are moving to a city without any boy scouts.

Quote
Because he wouldn’t have involuntary sexual intercourse with them?
CRUSHER: See! I'm not that bad.

Quote
Maybe that blonde skank who works for Lex’s competition?
Maaaayyyybbeee.

LOIS: No! She's biased. Keep her away from my partner!

BILL: huh

Quote
RAJ: I no not know, sahib?
RAJ: No comment.

Quote
BETSY: He was a bad man. *snickers* Now he’s not. *snickers*
Not a man?

Quote
Well, at least he *is* giving her choices instead of chaining her to the treadmill and having her run for 2 hours each day?
LEX: I didn't say that. Anyway, that's a discussion for after we're married.

Quote
sick /at Lex's honeymoon description/
LOIS: You and me both, buster.

Quote
Perfect for going to shop the hottest jewelers in town?
huh

Quote
Mindcontrolled robot women?
Like Baby Gunderson?
And Lois during the Lex Jr. arc?
Yeah. Them. evil

Quote
Like a bullet? Or a cage bar filling? Like they do with Cannoli? Maybe Lex has misspelled Cannoli as Kannoli and set up a wedding feast surprise for Lois?
That's not the kind of cannoli I want at my wedding.

LEX: hyper

LOIS: I want Kryptonian Kannoli.

LEX: [Linked Image]

Quote
You arrange them standing so they fence in a square, then you put a Kryptonian inside the square and fill the hollow pipes with Kryptonite gas. Voila! Instant zoo attraction!
CLARK: I've decided that I'm against the new Metropolis zoo.

Quote
So, she’s not willing to consider that maybe he’s just plain condescending?
LOIS: He's that too.

Quote
/points to SQD’s last (?) story on Lois married to Lex/
LOIS: shock Oc...Octo... OCTOPUS!!!!!!

Quote
He’s got a new pet name for her! Also, I think he’s a tad ticked off. Maybe a case of needing some personal assistance after smelling her anxiety?
Perhaps he's a bit hard up?

Quote
Superman joining the nuptials?
LEX: dance No comment.

LEX: Why is she just sitting there ignoring me? You'd think she wasn't attracted to me at all. I'll try this 100% stuff instead.

CLARK: Nooooooooooo!

Quote
So, she really wants to be chained up while Lex tells her every little bit of his endeavors?
LOIS: How about some tape and a recording device?

Quote
CLARK: Lovely woman I want to marry there. Platonically, I mean.
LOIS: What? I said I didn't want Mrs. Cox to die. What more do you want? That I want Lex to survive too? Please, now, you're just delusional.

Quote
Maybe it’s pregnancy hormones?
Doubtful.

MRS. COX: I'm what?!

Quote
What a devious little harlot Lex has gotten into his wedding sheets there!
LOIS: Those are MY sheets. I bought them long before I ever met Lex! And I've NEVER been on HIS sheets!

LEX: Details. Details.

Thanks for fun! wave
