Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK:Finding Freedom-Part 6

Hi,

Great part.

Oh, Wendy, nice! I like this fast pace of events. <g> And I love it that
Perry's in the picture too!

I love it that he said this. That he trusts her judgement. I wonder if Lois noticed that, too. She's probably still insecure about her trust and judgement of people (though she seems to trust Clark pretty deeply), and I imagine she might be questioning herself if certain people in her life are in fact who she thought they were. Not necessarily people she's known for as long as she'd known Perry and Henderson, but maybe other people.

/me takes out infamous light sabre and threatens Clark with it.

Seriously, man, just kiss her. <g>

This isn't very clarified - did she tell him the real version or the I-was-washed-ashore version? I assume she told him at the very least something in between, because he knows that Clark rescued her, but did they go all the way to tell him about his powers? (/me fears Wendy will say RAFO <g>)

Do it!!!!!

Friends can give each other reassuring squeezes, you paranoid lunkhead. <G>

Poor Lois. I feel for her - it's the worst feeling, putting your trust into someone and being betrayed, and then on top of that being told you were about the only person who was wrong about them.

Great part, Wendy, hope the next one is up soon.

/me pumps a fist into the air. I knew it! Okay, not really. My first guess into anything is usually completely off base, so I generally don't put a lot of stock in some of the things that come out of my babbling mouth. :p

Meanwhile, action packed part! It's good to see ye olde Chief getting into the swing of the investigation as well...I look forward to seeing where this all goes.

<--me puddling in a happy state

Ahhhh! <happy sigh> Things are moving along nicely now. The stolen art angle is quite believable (except for the Venus de Milo's arms-- rotfl!).

I, too, am glad that Perry's been brought in on all this-- the Lois-and-Clark together thing and their suspicions, that is. I don't think they told him about Clark's special abilities-- hence the description of the "sanitised" version, right? Oh, and I'm glad you've got Henderson in there, too.

I like how you've helped explain, again, Lois's inability to recognise what Lex really was, vs. Perry's suspicions. And I thought Perry was pretty sensitive to that, actually. He did mention that he'd had his suspicions about Lex, but he didn't rub it in.

Once they come up with some clues about the Planet bombing, and Henderson publicly acts on the "tip" he received, I suspect you can jump forward a bit in this story (as far as time goes, that is), if you want to. You can set up the end of the story with the Planet being rebuilt, Lex incarcerated, Jimmy sprung, and Lois divorced. Then... smootchies, as so many before me have said!

Luthor watch your back!!!

Well, it wasnt a kiss, but a very good hug. That will have to do

Henderson and Perry are joining the race to get Luthor down, yay! I can't wait for that moment! And then Lois and Clark will hopefully finally be free to pursue a relationship...

Sira -

Wendy,
Another great part. I really like the way the A plot develops although Lois and Clark may want to check on how Luthor manages to acquire all these stolen pieces of art - there must be private money transfers that will help them nail Lex.

I really liked the way you brought in Henderson and Perry - very well done and very much in character.

Here's my favorite quote:
<me checks and still can't find a graemlin that turns into a WAFFy puddle>.

It's very much in character for Clark to avoid a 'romantic' contact with a married Lois and very much in character for him not to be able to withhold comfort from her.

And what about Lex's Ark? Shouldn't have Clark spotted it during his check? Or at least spotted a big chunk of lead concealing it? That could supply them with some more leads.

There seems to be a lot yet to cover in this and not that many parts. Of course, I won't mind if this turns out to be a longer story or if you decide to write an all WAFFy sequel.

Always waiting for the next part ,
Avia

Great wendy. I am glad they found Lex's art treasures. Now that they met with Perry Lex should be behind bars real soon. More soon. Laura

Well there has definitly some progress made in their investigation of Luthor.

Can Henderson act on Lois' tip without a personal deposition or some such public accusation to take to a judge for a warrant?

So, Lois will have to stay in hiding for a time? No chance. There's an investigation to be run. That means Lois needs a disguise!

Tank (who doesn't have to remind Wendy that the most effect part of a disguise for a woman is a... does he really have to say it?)

I'm being 'reminded' on IRC that I sort of promised another post of this story today, and certain people assume that this means 'today' in European timezones. So here I am again to thank you all for your comments on this section.

We're into a part of the story which I felt, while writing, was a little A-plot-heavy. Thanks to the help of my BRs, I did manage to include a few B-plottish bits here and there, and I hope it's enough for you relationship-plot fans. Thank you, SJH, for being happy with the hug! Julie, I'm sorry that you're getting frustrated with Clark longing to comfort Lois but not daring. But, remember, they were with Perry at the time. He's only just met Perry and, of course, knows that he's Lois's former boss. Perry also knows, of course, that Lois is married to Lex Luthor - so there's no way that Clark would do anything untoward in front of him.

Glad the art treasure-trove worked for you as a start in getting to Lex!

Thank you, Janet! The Venus's arms were actually in The Foundling, where we saw Lex's basement 'art gallery'. I elaborated on what else might have been there, but couldn't resist keeping the arms.

I see lots more speculation on how Lex could be dealt with, and what sort of dangers might lie in their path. However, I decided not to make this an epic, so let's just say that we're not looking at a marathon investigation here. Perhaps a lucky break or two. After all, I did promise to tie this up in three stories, no more - so, Avia, no WAFFy sequel, sorry! I hope you'll be satisfied with the way I wrap this up.

Anyway, thank you all again! Part 7 coming up very soon - and I hope it's in time, Avia!


Wendy

Awww!!!!

LOL... gee, Clark, even for you, that could take a while.
