Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Challenge An Aaarghh challenge

I just recently watched "Forget me Not" and notivced that while Clark's parents try to visit Lois in Deter's facility, Lois' parents never show up. I was thinking it might be interesting to have a story where Lois' parents show up, and see what they thing of Clark really, and if they sense what Deter is up to. I can just see Sam Lane seeing Deter as a no good philanderer who violates basic patient ethics and doing something about it.

Sam:I am going to get Lois away from that doctor, he is hitting on her, it is unethical.

Ellen:At least he does not have a wife he is violating vows to.

Sam:At least I never tried to establish sexual relations with my patients.

Ellen:That is only because you were in sports medicine, and treated all male boxers. If you had been doing ballet related medicine.

Sam:I did for a while treat women gymnasts, and I never tried to develop personal relationships with them. What Dr. Deter is doing is a disgrace to his profession, and I will not stand for it.

I could see this happening. It would be nice to have another doctor in Clark's corner. Did they ever say in "FMN" where Ellen and Sam were?

Sam and Ellen should have a much easier time getting a say in Lois's treatment than Clark did, since they are actually her next of kin. I read a story a while back where Clark realizes that they were technically married as soon as they signed the marriage license, so as Lois's husband, he is able to get her away from Deter much sooner. Sam and Ellen should be able to pull this off, as well. And Deter couldn't as easily justify keeping their relationship as her parents away from Lois as he did when he pulled that garbage on Clark.

The story is Trusting You, Trusting Me by Female Hawk.

Thanks Morgana. I've got a bad memory for details, so I usually forget the titles and authors, even when I really love the stories. I've just read so many good ones! And I can't remember what other stories Female Hawk has written, except for Once Bitten, since I'm in the middle of that one, but I know I've loved every story of hers that I've read, so I hope she takes no offense.

Ummm... But Deter wasn't in 'Trusting You, Trusting Me' and Lois doesn't lose her memory in it.

But wasn't it the clone who signed the marriage license, not Lois? That was when Luthor kidnapped her, wasn't it?

Iolan said in the thread about the amnesia episodes: I think this is the one I was thinking of.

Well, she did write "Aussie Rules", which is a must read if you want to understand why she uses the name "female Hawk" (although until I read Aussie Rules I just figured it was related to "Just Say Noah").

Well, I think the story people were mentioning above was "In Sickness and In Health" by Carol M, where evidently Luthor did not kidnap Lois until after she had signed.

Another issue is since the clone would sign in Lois's name, Clark could present the signed wedding license with the Lois Lane signature as proof he is legally married to Lois Lane and just hope that Deter goes along with it.

The main reason why this was not done by Clark in canon is because by the time he realizes that he does not want Lois with Deter, she is cognizant of things enough to at least challange someone else acting as her gaurdian.

The frustrating thing is deter keeping Clark's parents away makes sense, but if it was Lois's parents, than it would not make sense.

I can just see Deter trying to convince Sam and Ellen that he is a better husband for Lois than Clark and having it cause them to team up with Clark to try and get her back.
