TOC

Many thanks to KatherineKent for supplying me for the plot bunny for this story and for buying the right to do so at our auction this spring. My whole hearted gratitude also goes to Darth Michael for double checking that I put in enough commas (I can still add more. grovel They are so pretty and shiny.)

I don't know how often I'll post. Once a week at least, if not more often.

Thank you for reading. Comments go here.

Ooooh! It's time hyper

Quote
she had woken up before her alarm clock. By two minutes.
Argh!
laugh Some autobiography going into this?

Quote
Clark was acting so odd, so out of character, it felt as if he were from another planet or something… not that he was. If he were from Krypton…
Aww…the voices in her head are trying to tell her something. Sadly, she won’t listen to anyone. Even herself.

Quote
She settled back against her pillows to imagine the possibilities.
Locked doors? No problem!
Two seconds to find a secret document? Easy peasy.
Tailing the suspect? Ha! Give us a real challenge.
Hmm…she doesn’t sound very creative on a personal level.

Quote
Kisses to melt her kneecaps?
Aaaahhh…there it is laugh
NOR: I can melt kneecaps, too!
JOHNNY CORBIN: Superman also melted *my* kneecaps razz

Quote
Oh, wait, Clark already had those.
Sigh.
jawdrop

Quote
To pretend that they were about to make love.
eek Oh, right. On their Honeymoon.

Quote
The shift of his hips. She had thought…
That she was horny as hell at that moment?

Quote
Her world had shifted, tilted on its side, irreparably damaged.
So, his heavy weight had cost Lois her balance?

Quote
Bleep! Bleep! Ble…
She slammed her hand down on her alarm clock. Lois sat up, smashed her pillow with her fist, and dragged her feet out of bed.
jawdrop How…where…what…*how*…?

Quote
If she were going to have insane dreams, why couldn’t she dream something ridiculous like Clark as Superman?
Because then she’d end up on the ceiling with him?

Quote
It wasn’t Clark.
It was a Clark clone.
Wouldn’t be the first one, either.
BIZZARRO: wave

Quote
Although, why would she dream about a Clark clone when the only real clone she’d met was Superman’s?
[Linked Image] Although to be fair, nobody ever told the Superclone to get a live.

Quote
Anyway, who would clone Clark? Well, besides Lois.
laugh She wants two snugglebuns clap

Quote
Put a plastic smile on her face and wonder why Clark Kent wasn’t interested in her, while she secretly longed for him in her heart.
hyper But it is a bit odd to read this story and the current section of Wrong Clark and The Wedding Pact all at the same time. Makes one a tad woozy.

Quote
She should’ve known. All the signs were there.
He had sent her to the Sewage Reclamation Facility. If Clark really had been in love with her since he first met her, he never would have done that.
She did go to kindergarten and elementary school, didn’t she? Boys are said to pull the braids of the girls they like, so… the SRF must have been a declaration of love.
CAT: [Linked Image] I was done with all the men in Metropolis, except Ralph because…duh! and Clark, mainly because he…he…must be gay!

Quote
There was just something about Clark that was so… so… forgivable.
His chest and his…heavy weight?

Quote
Hell, the two of them had been sprayed with pheromone perfume and he hadn’t stooped to do a striptease for her!
Still a bit miffed about that one, huh?
LOIS: He could have done the fireman at least *once*!

Quote
Even Superman couldn’t resist Lois under Revenge’s power, but Clark only caved after two days of her throwing herself at him.
Maybe he figured he’d get some piece and quiet afterwards?

Quote
Two: Clark was human, a true male in every sense of the word, and heterosexual. He had caved after all.
rotflol

Quote
Three: Clark really and truly wasn’t interested in her for more than a friend; although, if she stripped for him again, he might take friends with benefits.
thud hyper grovel [Linked Image]

Quote
She was reasonably hot in a classy non-stripper like Cat Grant sort of way.
laugh

Quote
Lex Luthor thought enough of her to propose!
LEX: In my defense, she had such a nice Superman attached to her. That kind of made her irresistible.

/Superman – he’s like catnip for criminal masterminds/

Quote
Clark didn’t even try to make a move on her that night she had burst into his apartment last week when Kyle Griffin was stalking her.
LOIS: grumble

Quote
He had offered to let her stay the night… on his couch.
LOIS: mad
CLARK: What. She looked grubby.

Quote
He had even cuddled with her while they watched the movie, but not once did he try to make a move on her.
CLARK: Cooties!

Quote
Maybe he was as flawed as the Clark in her dream was.
laugh

Quote
It wasn’t as if they hadn’t been working together all that long.
Lacking selfconfidence, do we?

Quote
Although, he could easily calculate the exact length of time that had passed since he had first set eyes on…
Stalker!

Quote
Clark heard her footsteps moving away from the door. His brow furrowed. What now? Should he have lifted up her coffee, so she had known he had come bearing breakfast?
Bribing? Really, Clark?
CLARK: /adorable shrug/

Quote
“But it didn’t go off this morning,” he said.
Lois came down the hall hopping on one foot as she put on her high heel. “Who said it didn’t go off?” she asked.
rotflol

Quote
he lost his train of thought as one of her beautiful brunette locks slipped across her face like a veil. Quickly realizing the direction of his mind, he shook his head.
Down boy!

Quote
He couldn’t see his face, so he didn’t know how red it was, but it sure felt hotter than that two-alarm fire Superman had helped put out at last night.
clap

Quote
She had thought he was trying to worm his way into her bedroom? Him?
He’s a male reporter. She’s Lois Lane. Of course she’d assumed that.

Quote
“If I ever gave you the impression that I would… I’m so sorry, Lois, I would never, never invade…”
Nice, Clark. Really nice.

Quote
He hated that his love for Lois was written across his forehead in permanent ink.
RALPH: [Linked Image]

Quote
Not that it was permanent, but that it was there for all to see.
LOIS: What does he mean ‘not permanent’?

Quote
. He feared that everyone could see the writing on Superman’s face, as well, how much he loved her.
RALPH: Funny how Batman played the very same trick on Superman when I played mine on Kent.

Quote
and it was all stuffed inside this petite frame with legs that never ended,
[…]
Lois Lane was explosive.
So, she’s like a dynamite stick with a long fuse?

Quote
She had all this personality bottled up inside the body of a goddess, and if she didn’t let it out, he was sure she would self-combust.
[Linked Image] *That’s* why she did the dance of the seven veils!

Quote
He honestly believed that was why they would be a perfect fit.
Women think of him as a living god and he thinks Lois is a goddess of love and lust?
LOIS: /clears throat/
ER: …and the goddess of gossip.
LOIS: mad
ER: peep

Quote
. She needed someone with the strength of Superman to help her stay together, sometimes literally.
He referring when she’s thrown out of an airplane and would go splat on the ground or when she’s tied to a bomb?

Quote
She smiled at him as if he had told her that Superman had personally made it himself and kissed the cup before handing it to Clark to give to her.
Self-confidence issues, huh?

Quote
But, oh, to know that his kiss would be caressing her palm, while she drank her coffee…
Clark. You would kiss the rim, not the cup.

Quote
to eat lunch at my Uncle Mike’s.”
“Pardon?” he asked, knowing he heard her correctly but still not understanding.
Yes, Clark. She just asked you out on a date behind the Costmart’s walk-in freezer.

Quote
Don’t play coy with me, Kent. You know all about my father’s brother, the ex-Marine, who bakes like a dream.
huh Why should he?

Quote
. I’m sure you read all about him when you researched my background when we became partners,”
ER: jawdrop
CLAKR: jawdrop

Quote
“Really? You let yourself be partnered up with someone whom you’ve never done a background check on?” she scoffed, clearly not believing him.
He comes from the farm country.

Quote
. He knew flattery where her ego was concerned was the best way to sooth the Mad Dog,
Clark!

Quote
not that he had said anything that could be refuted.
He’s a guy in a relationship with a woman
RALPH: Debatable.
LOIS: What? You’d do me in a heartbeat.
RALPH: So..?
LOIS: Literal heartbeat.
CLARK: Guys?
ER: Anyhow, he knows to always apologize, preferably with chocolates.

Quote
He would follow her to the moon if she asked, and she knew it.
They’d have to find a thunderstorm first.

Quote
“You still owe me for your losses at the poker table.”
Maybe they should play for bigger chunks of cotton-enhanced materials than your typical 10-dollar bill.
CAT: [Linked Image]

Quote
Bet she isn’t thinking that ‘blondes have more fun,’ now, Lois thought to herself.
Catty, huh? She could still have had more fun before…

Quote
“Good thing you’ll be right there to catch them for us, then,” he replied. “Partner.”
Thin ice there, Clark.

Quote
“Just see to it that I’m not stuck doing all the heavy lifting,” she retorted.
Clark smiled at her in that way he did as if he found something funny in what she said.
Like so: laugh ?

Quote
“I’ll be sure hold up my end,” he assured her.
“What?”
“I’ll be sure…”
“...to hold up your end”?
LOIS: Did he just refer to…splat

Quote
Instead of disappearing, his smile only grew larger, more radiate, as if harnessing the power of the sun.
CLARK: [Linked Image]

Quote
She hated it when he avoided her questions with questions. She was a reporter. She knew what he was doing.
Doing a report on the little Earth woman to send back to his handlers on Krypton?

Quote
Clark had stopped to help a couple of Norwegian tourists find their way to their hotel.
clap Sounds so perfectly harmless…

Quote
The man had been more places in the world and had a better ear for languages than Superman had.
Not really…no.

Quote
She looked this pair of tourists over and wondered if Clark had volunteered to help just because he could speak their language or because they were blonde, buxom co-eds, who didn’t realize that shorty-shorts weren’t appropriate in Metropolis in autumn, or ever.
Meeeeooooowwww! Also TVTropes: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NorseByNorsewest

Quote
It seemed that even her partner wasn’t immune to feminine wiles.
The question was why didn’t he notice hers?
Awww…Lois thinks she has feminine wiles evil

Quote
The co-eds smiled, waved, and said something that sounded an awful lot like a recommendation for a date to Lois’s ears before they walked on.
Like Anya did with Xander in Buffy episode ‘Hush’?
[Linked Image]
There’s also an animated version…
http://imageserver.moviepilot.com/anya-sex-buffy-the-vampire-slayer-hush-a-detailed-review.gif

Quote
“What nice girls,” Clark said to Lois, rejoining her to wait for the pedestrian crossing to change again.
rotflol

Quote
“Clark, can we just get one thing straight? If they’re old enough for you to date, they’re ‘women’ not ‘girls’,” Lois corrected, starting across the street despite the red hand.
[Linked Image]

Quote
“They’re nineteen, and only just graduated from high school, Lois. Certainly not old enough for me to date; therefore, ‘girls’ was the right word,” he said
Trying to dodge a bullet?

Quote
“Jimmy’s twenty-one, and therefore they would fall within five years of his age.
Actually…
[Linked Image]
Still…Clark’s 28 so his dating pool starts at 20, making them still girls either way. But Lois would fall smack in the middle.

Quote
“Plus, he values his health.”
[Linked Image]

Quote
Sometimes, she just wanted to clobber that man, she thought, jerking her elbow away from him. Maybe it would knock some sense into him.
Also, it could lead to a make-out session.

Quote
Then she continued before he could do more than nod. “Twenty-four year old women ‘girls’.”
“College girls gone wild”? peep

Quote
You’re right, and I’m sorry.”
Her step perked up at this acknowledgement.
hyper

Quote
. “It’s best that they went to their hotel room to change, since someone obviously had stolen their clothes.”
Extremly catty. I’d say there’s a lot of girls standing around on street corners that are dressed just like those women.

Quote
Suddenly, he knew what was wrong. “Were you jealous of those women?”
“Those girls?” Lois scoffed. “Hardly.”
laugh I thought she’d decided they’re women. She really does want it both ways, doesn’t she?

Quote
“I’ll admit that Toni Taylor irked me, but I was not jealous!” Lois insisted.
Riiiight.
LOIS: See? He said I’m right.

Quote
It was just a cover, Lois, just as you weren’t really interested in Stoke,” he reminded her.
Well…Lois sure looked the part when she tried to get with Stoke.

Quote
“Who? That other Toni?” At his confused expression, she continued. “Dr. Antoinette Baines?”
laugh

Quote
“What was I supposed to do? Head butt her?”
[Linked Image]

Quote
Okay, he’d grant that argument, if his head butt wouldn’t have knocked Dr. Baines’s skull across the room.
He could have moderated, couldn’t he have.

Quote
“I bet if Miranda hadn’t sprayed the whole newsroom with Revenge, you would’ve been plying her with ideas of playing hooky.”
But…but…she’s over 40!

Quote
“Well, you’re a broken record,” Lois retorted and marched off. “Always repeating yourself!”
Huh?
Calling her jealous.

Quote
“Why don’t you try something new for a change?”
Not calling her jealous?

Quote
He would give her a few minutes to cool off as he tried to figure out what exactly was bothering her this time.
But what if she gets kidnapped over there?

Quote
He doubted he would ever truly understand Lois, but, oh, what fun he would have trying.
Or die in the process…

Quote
Perhaps it meant that she was giving him a second look from over the edge of the rock wall surrounding her heart.
LOIS: peep

Quote
The question was would she like what she saw?
LOIS: [Linked Image]

Quote
Just because I thought Linda was pretty doesn’t mean I would have ever made a move on her.
RALPH: confused

Quote
she said, interrupting him before he went on praising Linda King’s so-called good looks.
laugh

Quote
“You better go wash that out or it’ll stain,” she said. It would be a shame to ruin one of his more somber ties.
clap

Quote
. As soon as he was out of sight, she took a big bite of her chocolate raspberry torte and moaned with a satisfaction usually reserved for Clark Kent and Superman kisses.
One might think she did it on purpose to get him out of there.

Quote
. Isn’t Linda King that girl who stole your story in college?” Uncle Mike asked.
Oh-oh. He called her a girl.
MIKE LANE: Hey! She’s outside my acceptable dating pool, thus I can call her a girl!

Quote
An explosion erupted in the kitchen and before either of them could react, Superman was there blowing it out.
He must be stalking her.

Quote
She had sent him inside to use the restroom. Oh, God! What have I done?
Sent him to meet a bomb?

Quote
“Where have you been?” she snapped, taking out her leftover anxiety on him. He could have died.
Isn’t she appreciative of him? smile1

Quote
He nodded to the man, swearing up a blue streak from his position at the dumpster.
Of course he’s swearing about the boyscout in blue streaking.

Quote
“It’s not her fault if the city doesn’t have the resources,” Clark began, defending a woman he hadn’t even met.
Couldn’t they outsource the call center to India like they do with software support?

Quote
She should really tell him. She opened her mouth.
“9-1-1. What is your emergency?” a voice said into her ear and she realized she had still been waiting on hold.
Well, perhaps this wasn’t the best moment to bring up how much she loved Clark.
Lois Lane is in love and willing to admit it. The world must be ending. I think end of the world classifies as an emergency, don’t you think?

Quote
He would just assume it was motivated by the bomb, which it wasn’t.
laugh

Quote
Superman was able to put out the fire and catch the suspect, but we need an officer here to do the actual arresting,”
OPERATOR: So, you’re not in any present danger, then?

Quote
No, she couldn’t tell Clark this at the office. Too many people.
RALPH: wave

Quote
. Too many interruptions.
JIMMY: wave

Quote
Not enough privacy.
PERRY: wave

Quote
Tonight! Yes, Lois would stop by his apartment tonight after all this craziness had calmed down, and she would tell Clark that she loved him.
MAYSON: wave

This was great fun. Just lighthearted fluff. Simply adorable!

Lord, I remember someone whistle commenting that I quoted the nearly the entire story...


I love the way you set this up. With 3 parts there is plenty of room for mis-understandings and finally the WAFFY ending that should be there in the end (especially since you got the plot bunny from Victoria laugh ).

I can't wait until the next episode to see how you unfold it all.

Darth Michael: Thank you for your double FDK comments and Beta. You may have noticed a slight change in title, but everything else is mostly the same.

Sadly, yes. I hate it when that happens.

Of course, she doesn't! CK=SM? That would be insane! lol Also, it wouldn't be a VirginiaR story without the inclusion of voices or dreams, now would it? wink

Quote
Hmm…she doesn’t sound very creative on a personal level.
Give her time. She is a bit of a career-focused person.

Quote
Aaaahhh…there it is
See.
Quote
NOR: I can melt kneecaps, too!
JOHNNY CORBIN: Superman also melted *my* kneecaps /didn't appreciate this or the way SM wasn't charged with accessory to his murder/
LOIS: Nor, I don't like the way you melt kneecaps. Nobody does. Johnny... /sigh/ Why am I even bothering to try to speak to you? My vocabulary is too high for you to understand.

S2. Didn't she figure this out at the end of S1?

Quote
ER: /misremembering what happened on Trask's plane/ Oh, right. On their Honeymoon.
CLARK: I don't know. If she had kept kissing me like that on a regular basis, I think it could have lead to a honeymoon much quicker.

Quote
That she was horny as hell at that moment?
LOIS: [Linked Image] I plead the Fifth.

Quote
So, his heavy weight had cost Lois her balance?
Yes, that's why she's always falling off buildings and out windows and such.

Quote
ER: /confused that Lois hadn't gotten up, even when she woke up before her alarm/ How…where…what…*how*…?
Really? Those are the most productive two minutes of sleep in my household.

Quote
Because then she’d end up on the ceiling with him?
CLARK: [Linked Image] I don't think we'd... really? The ceiling? Huh. I never thought about... it's possible, I guess, I do... um... I plead the Fifth.

Quote
Wouldn’t be the first one, either.
BIZZARRO: /wave/
But if Vatman never dressed up as Clark Kent (or Kent Clark), wouldn't that mean he never was?

Quote
ER: /has NO idea why Lois could possible be thinking of Clark and Superman at the same time/ Although to be fair, nobody ever told the Superclone to get a live.
LOIS: I was about to, but then he stuck his tongue in my mouth.

Quote
She wants two snugglebuns
LOIS: Well, the real one isn't interested. Maybe the clone one would be. I mean, the cloned Superman was.

Quote
But it is a bit odd to read this story and the current section of Wrong Clark and The Wedding Pact all at the same time. Makes one a tad woozy.
Another reason to post this during my Wrong Clark hiatus.

Quote
She did go to kindergarten and elementary school, didn’t she? Boys are said to pull the braids of the girls they like, so… the SRF must have been a declaration of love.
CAT: I was done with all the men in Metropolis, except Ralph because…duh! and Clark, mainly because he…he…must be gay!
LOIS: No, I skipped kindergarten and went straight into first grade.
CAT: Oh, that explains why she doesn't understand men.
LOIS: huh Oh, and Clark's not... [Linked Image] I mean, Clark is TOTALLY gay.
CAT: But then again, he likes you. So if he's gay that mean that you're.../looks Lois up and down/ Well, that explains a lot.

Quote
His chest and his…heavy weight?
His sweet personality.

Quote
Still a bit miffed about that one, huh?
LOIS: He could have done the fireman at least *once*!
CLARK: confused But I help out the fire department all the time.
LOIS: You do?
CLARK: shock I mean, I used to be a volunteer fireman back in Smallville.
LOIS: Oh.

Quote
Maybe he figured he’d get some piece and quiet afterwards?
Oh Loook! Someone else who skipped kindergarten and doesn't understand women.

No, sorry, Michael. This story is strictly Gfic.

Quote
LEX: In my defense, she had such a nice Superman attached to her. That kind of made her irresistible.
LOIS: Defense? *Defense?* Defense? DEFENSE?
EW: The real reason Lex jumped during HoL.

LOIS: See! He's acting weird. That shouldn't matter if he really liked me.

Quote
LOIS: What does he mean ‘not permanent’?
Hmmm. That's a good question. I'll have to think about that one.
CLARK: I meant hopefully it wasn't visible when I was dressed in Blue Suit.

Quote
RALPH: Funny how Batman played the very same trick on Superman when I played mine on Kent.
LOIS: And that's why Ralph doesn't have any shiny tear-dropped shaped paperweights, and I have three.

Quote
So, she’s like a dynamite stick with a long fuse?
CLARK: I wouldn't have phrased it quite like that, but 'yes'.

Quote
ER: /mind full of ideas/ *That’s* why she did the dance of the seven veils!
Wouldn't it have been funny if Lois HADN'T been exposed to Revenge and yet still came over to dance for Clark, and he thought she had?

Quote
Women think of him as a living god and he thinks Lois is a goddess of love and lust?
LOIS: /clears throat/
ER: …and the goddess of gossip.
LOIS: /mad/
ER: /peep/
Pssst. I think the word you were looking for was "news".

Quote
He referring when she’s thrown out of an airplane and would go splat on the ground or when she’s tied to a bomb?
CLARK: That may or may not be one of the times to which I was referring. Yes.

Quote
Self-confidence issues, huh?
CLARK: I've seen the way Lois goes ga-ga for Superman. I've never seen, with one notable exception, her ever going the same kind of ga-ga for me.

Quote
Clark. You would kiss the rim, not the cup.
CLARK: But that would be like her lips touching mine... /fades away into dream land/... That would be too much like a stalker.

Quote
Yes, Clark. She just asked you out on a date behind the Costmart’s walk-in freezer.
clap

Quote
Why should he?
Because she's not the only one out there with a license to snoop.

Quote
ER: /can't believe that Lois checked into Clark's background and still came up with zippo/
CLAKR: /can't believe that Lois would think so little of him and his morals/
LOIS: What? Isn't that what everyone does?

Quote
He comes from the farm country.
He didn't care what her background was because he was already smitten?

Quote
He’s a guy in a relationship with a woman
Clark: Yes, were partners. But I didn't say I was in a relationship with Lois. I may have thought that I wanted to be, but I never said so.

Quote
RALPH: Debatable.
LOIS: What? You’d do me in a heartbeat.
RALPH: So..?
LOIS: Literal heartbeat.
CLARK: Guys?
ER: Anyhow, he knows to always apologize, preferably with chocolates.
CLARK: What do I need to apologize for? I didn't say anything wrong?
LOIS: Is that no reason not to bring me chocolates?
CLARK: huh

Isn't he implying that Lois never would let a story slip between her fingers?

“...to hold up your end”?

Actually…
/diagram of dating range/
Still…Clark’s 28 so his dating pool starts at 20, making them still girls either way. But Lois would fall smack in the middle.
CLARK: But they weren't Lois, therefore, they weren't in my dating range.

Also, it could lead to a make-out session.
I don't think that's allowed unless they're dating.

Quote
“College girls gone wild”?
Twenty four is over college age, isn't it?

Extremly catty. I’d say there’s a lot of girls standing around on street corners that are dressed just like those women.
LOIS: We don't walk in those neighborhoods and anyway, they're usually in bed when we walk to work.

Quote
I thought she’d decided they’re women. She really does want it both ways, doesn’t she?
HE must call them women. As a woman SHE may refer to them as 'girls', because she doesn't want him to think of them as being old enough for him to date.
CLARK: huh
PERRY: Son, it's just best not to try to understand them.

I love the way you set this up. With 3 parts there is plenty of room for mis-understandings and finally the WAFFY ending that should be there in the end (especially since you got the plot bunny from Victoria ).
What? WAFF? This was supposed to be WAFFY by the end? shock ... um... er... Sure... we can do that! [Linked Image] Yes, this is a romantic comedy with LOTS of misunderstandings and a happy ending.
LOIS: Happy? You call that...
CLARK: /covers her mouth to avoid spoilage/ Everything is just fine. Nothing to see here. Keep reading.

I can't wait until the next episode to see how you unfold it all.
I'm glad you're enjoying the story, Mike. Thanks for letting me know. wave

I am with Mike! This was very funny! It was sweet how you put on all those gentlemanly acts of Clark's on the walk to work. That's so something we don't see very often.

There's a reason "Gentleman" is in the title. wink We all know that Clark's the kind of guy who would stop his car (if he had one) on the side of the road and help a stranded motorist change a tire, even if he was in a tux and late for picking Lois up for the Kerth Awards. It's what makes him sweet, irresistible, and why Lois is often frusteratingly wallbash . Glad you enjoyed it.

Lois's frustration is always fun. I enjoy it when Clark calls Lois on her behavior. Usually he's teasing her, but sometimes he's spot on. Now, if he'd just realize he was spot on...

Looking forward to part 2!
Thank you. I'm looking forward to posting it. I prepped it this afternoon. Thank you for commenting!

If I post Part 2 today, we'd only have one more part left before it's over, and then poor Ken would be the only person posting a story (at least on this side of the boards), and I'd hate to do that to him. Maybe if a few more of you volunteer to post stories too, so he doesn't feel so all alone until I can get at least 10 parts of Wrong Clark written and start posting again. (BTW, for all my Wrong Clark readers, it's going well. Ideas galore taking over. Now, if I could only organize them. evil ) If more stories don't start to flood the boards, then I'll post Part 2 on Wednesday. If lots more people start to post stories, I'll post more quickly. (Strange backwards ultimatum, I know, but I'm a strange backwards type of person.)

Really excited about this story, Virginia! hyper clap notworthy

I totally am loving the set up...Lois thinking that Clark isn't interested in her, being jealous of every woman he has been in contact with pretty much since she's know him, and meanwhile Clark, totally and completely in love with her. I love these type of miscommunications--and like you said, between two people whose job it is to communicate rotflol.

Always enjoy when Lois is worked up, jealous. And I love for Clark being able to see a bit of Lois' interest in him. Come on, Clark--read between the lines...she is head over heals for you love.

Great dialog, and such a great 'feel' to the story--really looking forward to the next part. Woo-hoo!!!

Awesome job!
Laura

Yeah, I did kind of work Lois up into a tizzy in this story. I'm sure NONE of us have ever acted irrationally jealous /clears throat/ over some man before. [Linked Image] Good thing it always works out. wink

Wow, thanks, Laura. You are more than welcome to comment on all my stories. [Linked Image] You're like chocolate to my muse.

LOIS: Chocolate? Why would you give chocolate to your muse? I'm here. I'll hold on to it... for your muse. Clark will be back any minute, now. He just went to walk some woman across the street or deliver some baby because the pregnant mother couldn't make it across the street to the hospital or something. It's not like we had a story to write on police corruption or anything. /rolls eyes/ That's okay, I'm sure he'll come back with some Superman story so Perry will love him. Mmmmm. drool Chocolate.

Thank you for commenting.

EW: I also find it funny that Lex never figures out SM=CK upon developing Vatman.

I wonder if there are any stories out there where Vatman dresses up as Clark Kent to try to seduce Lois Lane. [Linked Image]

ER: Although to be fair, nobody ever told the Superclone to get a live.
LOIS: I was about to, but then he stuck his tongue in my mouth.
ER: Funny how she reacts to the clone the same way she does to Lex K-I-S-S-I-N-G her.
LOIS: [Linked Image] Once you've kissed Clark Kent, there's no going back.
CLARK: Well, golly gee. Thanks, Lois.
LOIS: shock Did I say Clark Kent? Ooops. I meant Superman. Silly me. I wonder why I keep getting those two confused.
CLARK: [Linked Image] I don't know, Lois.

Quote
LOIS: Well, the real one isn't interested. Maybe the clone one would be. I mean, the cloned Superman was.
ER: Yes, but that’s because he was made by Lex.
And Lex has a one track mind?

Quote
LOIS: No, I skipped kindergarten and went straight into first grade.
CAT: Oh, that explains why she doesn't understand men.
LOIS: <still doesn’t know how to operate a stick> Oh, and Clark's not... <got some idea on how to protect her property from roaming cats> I mean, Clark is TOTALLY gay.
CAT: But then again, he likes you. So if he's gay that mean that you're.../looks Lois up and down/ Well, that explains a lot. LOIS: So…the pantsuit and the ‘stache are too much?
I believe she was undercover while in that outfit.

Quote
ER: Maybe he figured he’d get some piece and quiet afterwards?
EW: Oh Loook! Someone else who skipped kindergarten and doesn't understand women.
CLARK: I was helping on the farm…? You know, jacking up the tractor and such…
Don't they make the perfect couple?

Quote
LOIS: Defense? *Defense?* Defense? DEFENSE?
EW: The real reason Lex jumped during HoL.
ER: Realized he already had divorced one she-dragon and he didn’t need the hassle *again*?
He realized that sometimes Bridezilla doesn't appear until *after* the wedding.

Quote
CLARK: Cooties!
LOIS: Oh, you do? Well, thanks for thinking about my well-being. I wouldn't want your cooties.
ER: That he got from Mayson?
Clark hasn't met Mayson yet.
CLARK: Nope. /scratches/ I got this case from Lana.

Quote
EW: Good point. And Yes.
CLARK: No! I'd Never!
LOIS: So you *don’t* want to sleep with me?
CLARK: huh What was the question again?

Quote
Wouldn't it have been funny if Lois HADN'T been exposed to Revenge and yet still came over to dance for Clark, and he thought she had?
LOIS: What? *Perfect* excuse!
On that note, I really should go back to PML – The Whole Story some day…

Quote
CLARK: I've seen the way Lois goes ga-ga for Superman. I've never seen, with one notable exception, her ever going the same kind of ga-ga for me.
ER: That’s because Superman dresses like he’s…available while Clark dresses like a monk.
CLARK: But... But... This suit cost me $100!

Quote
CLARK: But that would be like her lips touching mine... /fades away into dream land/... That would be too much like a stalker.
ER: Says the man who has mapped her comings and goings via her heartbeat.
CLARK: Come on. That's not fair. I'm doing what any other hot blooded American male would do if he had my powers, right?

Quote
LOIS: What? Isn't that what everyone does?
ER: The reason she’s still single?
Because no man could pass her back ground check?
LOIS: [Linked Image] No comment.

Quote
EW: He didn't care what her background was because he was already smitten?
ER: But what if she had slept with half the boys in college and most of the professors?
LOIS: Fraud! That's Linda King's history, not mine!
CLARK: Anyway, do you really think I'd *want* to know about that? Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Quote
ER: They’d have to find a thunderstorm first.
EW: Well, technically, she could go in a ship.
LOIS: /razz/ Technically, I don’t have to do what the EW says, either.
CLARK: /huh/ Technically, I don’t have to do what Lois says, either.
CLARK: [Linked Image] I don't have to do what Lois says!
LOIS: Great. You've broken him.

Quote
CAT: /wonders why Lois and Clark are playing poker while dressed/
PERRY: Which is why Cat Grant wasn't invited back to poker a second time.
ER: Jimmy got too distracted?
CAT: If I only distracted Jimmy, then I have no right being me.
PERRY: /clears throat/ Alice has spies *everywhere*!

Quote
LOIS: Clark was supposed to be listening to ME! My cattiness was justified. Also, I said 'now'. Clearly, she's had more fun previously.
CLARK: /tries to look at own shoulder/ I don’t see a dogtag on my neck saying ‘property of Lois Lane’. Do you?
LOIS: Yes. Keep walking.

Quote
EW: Isn't he implying that Lois never would let a story slip between her fingers?
ER: He’s also implying that Lois would do all the lifting in their relationship.
CLARK: [Linked Image] Wouldn't she do so anyway?

Quote
CLARK: I never said anything about touching your... uh-hem... 'end'. Although... /fades off into daydream land, again/
LOIS: <that’s why I can’t use males as partners>
CAT: /wave/
LOIS: No.
That could be a fun story. Lois and Cat team up to discover the hidden depths of Superman.
CLARK: help

Quote
NOR: So what you're saying is that Earth women are too difficult to tame and we should try to colonize another planet?
CLARK: Well…I didn’t really use my powers to tame her. I was just trying to be persuasive. But hey, whatever works. I hear Venus got some fine women.
Oh, you mean... [Linked Image]

Quote
LOIS: I have wiles! Clark! /hits her partner/ Tell Michael I have wiles.
CLARK: Tons of them! <likes his woman shapely>
LOIS: See. Wait. Was that sarcastic or did you just call me fat?
CLARK: <can’t win with Lois>
LOIS: And you better not forget it!
Like Luthor, Clark appreciates a challenge.
CLARK: What do you mean 'like Luthor'? Now, that's just insulting.

Quote
CLARK: But they weren't Lois, therefore, they weren't in my dating range.
ER: So, his dating range is actually determined by the multi-verse theory?
CLARKs: /wave/
ER: Sorry. And also by just how many Alt-Clarks have already been killed off by their respective Tempus.
That actually doesn't come up in this story.

Quote
LOIS: We don't walk in those neighborhoods and anyway, they're usually in bed when we walk to work.
ER: Had to make sure to keep Clark from getting the wrong idea about how Lois dresses?
LOIS: What's wrong with how I dress?
CLARK: I like the way Lois looks.
CAT: There's really no accounting for taste, is there?

Quote
Riiiight.
LOIS: See? He said I’m right.
clap
CLARK: Suuuuuure.
LOIS: See, even you agree.
ER: I just realized! She’s just like Sheldon. Doesn’t get sarcasm. Is always right. Got a thing for Superman.
For a second there, I thought you meant Sheldon Bender (not Sheldon from BBT) and freaked out.
LOIS: You forgot certified genius.

Quote
ER: Well…Lois sure looked the part when she tried to get with Stoke.
EW: You mean the shorty-shorts?
ER: And the other…short parts of her clothing. /implying her lack of a proper neck covering/
But Lois was talking about the girl's shorts, nothing else.
CLARK: Lois wore a shirt to Stoke's Club? Are you sure? I can't remember one.

Quote
EW: Didn't Dr. Baines already turn on the chemicals before she kissed Clark, though?
ER: So, at least they’d die all together in a nice fireball instead of Dr. Baines dying all alone in a nice fireball?
So, how exactly is that better?

Quote
CLARK: I don't head butt people often, but the last time I tried to do it with a soccer ball it ended up orbiting the moon. I know, I saw it when I went to stop Nightfall.
ER: So, he’s not good at controlling his head?
LOIS: Okay, so Superman’s out for nookie. Let’s see…The Flash? . Done. Next…
Wow. The Flash is fast.
FLASH: What? She called my name. That's really all it takes.

Quote
LOIS: /drooling over Clark/
CLARK: Nope. Inconclusive. I just can't tell if she likes me.
CAT: Okay, he’s gay. Jimmmmmy!
LOIS: /fist pump/
JIMMY: thud

Quote
The idiot tells one woman he’d do another woman?
RALPH: I keep hoping that'll lead to a three-some, but it hasn't happened yet.
LOIS: Yet? lol

Quote
ER: He must be stalking her.
EW: Maybe he's stalking Kent.
ER: Like in those stories people tell about Batman and Robin?
SUPERMAN: Riiiiiight. Clark Kent is my ward.

Quote
ER: Sent him to meet a bomb?
LOIS: Not on purpose!
ER: Feeling guilty, are we?
LOIS: No! I don't ever feel guilty! mecry

Quote
What if they could also lower the taxes?
POLITICIANS: /rotflol/
What if they *said* they would lower the taxes but then invented a new tax to outweigh the lowered taxes?
Hey, that sounds fairly accurate.

Quote
OPERATOR: So, you’re not in any present danger, then?
LOIS: Only in breaking my heart by telling my partner that I love him.
OPERATOR: Oh, why didn't you say so? We'll have emergency personnel sent to your location immediately.
ER: She doesn’t sound very sincere. Or is she talking about a psychiatrist they send to talk people off a ledge?
Actually, no sarcasm was meant. Women understand heart ache. wink

Quote
EW: I was going for Romantic Comedy.
ER: Aren’t you always?
Um... Yeah... Sure... That sounds good. [Linked Image]

Inspired by KatherineKent’s suggestion
Woo hoo! You're posting. I've been waiting and waiting for this. Yay.

I'm going to have to be careful with my comments, though. Don't want to give anything away!

Quote
Lois opened her eyes, closed them again to wipe the sleepers away, and then opened them to verify that yes, indeed, she had woken up before her alarm clock. By two minutes.
I hate that. frown

Quote
Kisses to melt her kneecaps?
Can I have some of those?

Quote
Instead, she had dreamed of Clark being so one-sided. Could she ever see him being so cardboard? So much like a stereotypical man, instead of the sweet, genuine, caring…
Clark could never be one-sided or stereotypical.

Hmm, I wonder if he really was cardboard in the dream. You know, turn him sideways and you can see the edge ... the cardboard ridges.

Quote
Clark would never think like the man in her dream! Certainly, never act like that.
Hmm, I wonder what Clark was doing in this dream. Something, clearly, un-Clark-like. Okay, so instead of sweet, genuine, caring ... he was rude, fake, dismissive?

Quote
Then again, the Superman clone had acted a bit like that Clark from her dream.
Ahh, a jerk, only after ... you know.

Quote
One: Clark was a true gentleman.
Oh, absolutely. And, by the way, sooo glad you managed to show this throughout the fic.

Quote
although, if she stripped for him again, he might take friends with benefits.
lol

Quote
Maybe he was as flawed as the Clark in her dream was.
Okay, so the Clark from her dream was only interested in 'looks', not personality and substance. Ahh. No wonder he was cardboard/one-dimensional.

Quote
She had thought he was trying to worm his way into her bedroom? Me?

“If I ever gave you the impression that I would… I’m so sorry, Lois, I would never, never invade…”
Clark is such a gentleman, but I wonder if Lois wanted him to want to see inside her bedroom!

Quote
She smiled at him. “I know, Clark, that’s just what I thought.”
And even though she's smiling I think there is disappointment inside her heart.

Quote
“My Uncle Mike’s Café Americana is over on the Southside
Ummm, the ominous drums are playing in my head ... Mayson is on the horizon, isn't she?

Quote
“No, what’s with the smile?” Lois probed, pointing at his face.

“I can’t smile?”
Clark's smiling ... just cause it's a nice day, and just cause he's with Lois, and so many other lovely things, but Lois thinks he smiling because of the blonde - I guess.

Quote
Clark had stopped to help a couple of Norwegian tourists find their way to their hotel
Clark being gentlemanly again! Lois will get rather fed up ... and I notice something of a pattern emerging ... but gonna keep my lips sealed.

Quote
Did you find Linda King attractive?
Okay Lois has mentioned at least four woman from Clark's past who have shown interest in him ... for someone who had little respect for her partner when they first met she sure took notice of who took notice of him.

Quote
Tonight! Yes, Lois would stop by his apartment tonight after all this craziness had calmed down, and she would tell Clark that she loved him.
Woo Hoo. Lois should definitely tell him how she feels. And it's bound to go completely without hitch. Why would anything ever go wrong?

Fantastic first part Virginia. Can't wait for the rest.

Are you saying that I'm just full of WAFF!!! I resent that remark ... I can write angst ... I think, sometimes, I've ... uh...

Okay, I hate angst.
