I didn't suspect the blackmailer. Lex's attitude now makes sense, although I really didn't think much about it when reading it.

Next 1.5 chapters should be v-e-r-y interesting! You definitely have me intrigued. thumbsup

Well, I wasn't trying to guess who the blackmailer was, but Linda makes perfect sense. I love how sweet Clark is here, waiting outside on the bench, and how Linda is giving him crap for it. LOL Oooh, but Lex already knows, eh? Looking forward to the fallout from that!

So, you think that the reason Lex ignored Lois when she came to him for help was because she went to Clark first? Hmmmm. Interesting.

Thank you. I hope I don't disappoint.


groobie: Thanks for reading.

Oh, dear. Is my lack of a true A-Plot showing? I hope nobody else noticed. wink Maybe I should have had Lois blackmail herself to get Clark's attention. Now, THAT would've been a twist! (Or as Michael suggested, have it be Clark.)

*titter* She does, doesn't she? Well, Clark did dump Linda to go back to Lois, didn't he? I love how Linda is sooooo wrong about Clark, only not really wrong at the same time. evil

Quote

Nobody could pull the wool over Lex's eyes for long. Do you think he knows about Clark, too? Not Lois and Clark, but just Clark? Hmmmm.

Weekend and such! hyper
Quote
Clark drove Lois home via her favorite Italian restaurant, where he picked up pasta for the two of them.
With cannoli filled with cream and chocolate? Will they eat in her laundry room?

Quote
“I can handle it, Lois, if the gangs don’t bother me,” he said.
Gangs? In *her* neighborhood? And Clark lets her stay there? Or Lex, for that matter?
LOIS: cat ‘lets me’ ?

Quote
She leaned against her doorframe. “You stayed on that bench all night in the cold to look after me?” She said it in a tone that implied that she thought he was half-crazy.
Or contemplating a 500 yards injunction.

Quote
He had now read the entire Daily Planet, at human speed, cover to cover, including the want ads. Only three more hours, give or take, until sunrise.
Is he going to read the Metropolis Star next? Or LFI?
LOIS: shock I can’t believe you’d read that filth. And in *public*!
CLARK: /puts away the Star/ [Linked Image] There were funny comics?

Quote
Even if she did think he kissed better than Luthor.

His brow furrowed.

Lois had strange ideas about family.
Unless Lex kisses like her father?

Quote
She probably only had a nightmare. With everything that was going on in her life, Clark would’ve been more surprised if she didn’t have any.
Like the one where she is chained above a vat of boiling acid?
LOIS: Silly! That’s the one where I put together all the clues to the drug lord’s hideout and Superman sweeps in to make the arrest. I get a Pulitzer and Superman carries me off to his castle in the clouds to make love to me.

Quote
Why continue to stand there and watch at him?
What if Lois was the one doing the blackmailing herself. That way, she has a reasonable out without losing face. Plus, she could tease Clark without actually having to put herself out there.

Quote
Terrific. Super man he wasn’t. No wonder his glasses disguise was so convincing. Such a misnomer as Superman only helped him hide in plain sight more easily.
He and Kara really *are* related.

Quote
“Clark?” a familiar female voice called out to him.

He glanced around and saw Linda King. She had emerged from the other side of the park behind him.
Huh. That’s a coincidink…

Quote
“I’m… uh…” He didn’t want to tell Lois’s biggest rival from college about her current blackmail problem.
Yeah, you wouldn’t want to have the competition know that you’re peddling yesterday’s news as a headline.

Quote
Isn’t it a little early in the day to start lying?”
No, he’s Superman.
Later, at the liar’s anonymous meeting:
KAL-EL: Hi, I’m Kal-El, and I have a problem.
CROWD: Hello, Kal-El!

Quote
“Linda… um… Lois’s involvement in the Carpenter case was a little more than just a teeny-tiny bit.”
No, the female lead character was Linda King.

Quote
Leave Metropolis behind you like a bad dream and be freelance for a while. Just sail on the wind and see where it takes you.”

He started to shake his head. He wasn’t going to give in, and let Luthor win, not yet. Anyway, he had already done that and the wind had brought him to Metropolis.
Cute!

Quote
“Clark, I know you think the world of Lois, heaven knows why, but she isn’t this wholesome goody-goody that she pretends to be.
CAT: rotflol Right…

Quote
. I bet we could be better than before, if it were just the two of us.”
But Clark prefers triangles.

Quote
Clark took hold of Linda’s hand and pulled her closer, setting his other hand on her waist.
So, is he falling for her act?

Quote
His fingers dipped into the large pocket of her jacket and extracted a manila envelope.
Apparently not.

Quote
a photo of Lois dressed only in a negligee.
That’s a new one.
CLARK: Jackpot!

Quote
“How could I? That witch ruined my life! First, she told the Ethics Board at Metropolis U that I stole her story, which put a black mark on my career before it even started.
We…she did earn it huh
LINDA: Whose side are you on, exactly?

Quote
We both know Lois didn’t get that job because of her grammatical skills.”
CLAUDE: Maybe, but she certainly didn’t get it for her horizontal skills.

Quote
Linda groaned. “Oh, please! She was on the front page her first year out of Met. U.
Busting a corrupt politician in a tax scandal?

Quote
I bet she’s never even seen the inside of the Wedding Registry’s office or had her byline on the Obits page.”
What about when she announced her engagement? Or when she will announce her dumped fiancé’s suicide?

Quote
“And blackmailing her evens the scales?” he replied.
A hobby, then?

Quote
Isn’t that like hiring the fox to guard the hen house?”
LEX: He’s got no teeth.

Quote
“I can’t. I don’t have ‘em.”
Oh? She’s not alone in it after all? And here I figured she snuck the camera after one of her nights of passion with Paul.
LINDA: I certainly wouldn’t let him have naked pictures of me. What do you think I am? Stupid? Never expected the film to have been used, though.

Quote
I’ve already sold them.”
Oh?

Quote
“No,” Linda replied with a sly smile. “Lex Luthor.”
shock At least, now we know why you turned out Linda in part 3 of 4.5. thud

Linda sure was unexpected. clap

Always our favorite time of the week.

LOIS: Of course!
CLARK: [Linked Image]

Quote
Will they eat in her laundry room?
No, that was another story entirely.

Quote
Gangs? In *her* neighborhood?
That was Clark's point.

Quote
And Clark lets her stay there? Or Lex, for that matter?
LOIS: /cat/ ‘lets me’ ?
Probably best not to go there.

Quote
Or contemplating a 500 yards injunction.
CLARK: So, you're saying I have to watch her apartment from my apartment? *shakes head with annoyance* Fine!

Quote
Is he going to read the Metropolis Star next? Or LFI?
lol

Quote
LOIS: /shock/ I can’t believe you’d read that filth. And in *public*!
CLARK: /puts away the Star/ /blushes/ There were funny comics?
He wasn't sure or he couldn't tell the difference between the comics and the "real" stories with bright colorful pictures?

Quote
Unless Lex kisses like her father?
Explains why she wasn't anticipating their honeymoon night.

Quote

LOIS: Silly! That’s the one where I put together all the clues to the drug lord’s hideout and Superman sweeps in to make the arrest. I get a Pulitzer and Superman carries me off to his castle in the clouds to make love to me.
SUPERMAN: That's not *quite* how I recall the incident with Miranda.

LOIS: Who's Kara?
CLARK: Kara? Who? Huh? I don't know! I swear!
LOIS: Uh-huh. I bet.
CLARK: No, really. Who is she?

Quote
Huh. That’s a coincidink…
LOIS: No such thing.

Quote
Yeah, you wouldn’t want to have the competition know that you’re peddling yesterday’s news as a headline.
Lois received scandalous photos yesterday? That type of YESTERDAY'S news? wink

Quote
No, he’s Superman.
lol clap

Quote
Later, at the liar’s anonymous meeting:
KAL-EL: Hi, I’m Kal-El, and I have a problem.
CROWD: Hello, Kal-El!
Yes, probably best not to go as oneself to these Justice League meetings.

Quote
No, the female lead character was Linda King.
LOIS: Linda? Hmmm. No, I can't say I recall her. What does the skank look like?

Quote
CAT: /decides Linda doesn't know the definition of phrase/ Right…
I guess things depend on one's POV.
JIMMY, PERRY, & CLARK: Nope, she's not acting like a goodie, goodie.
RALPH: Put a nun's habit on her, I wouldn't be able to pick her out of a line-up.

Quote
But Clark prefers triangles.
CLARK: [Linked Image] But only if I get to play 2 out of the 3 parts.
LINDA: That can be arranged.
CLARK: And Lois plays the 3rd.

Quote
So, is he falling for her act?
LOIS: mad

Quote
Apparently not.
Gotcha!
CLARK: I can't believe you doubted me, man.

Quote
That’s a new one.
CLARK: Jackpot!
CLARK: I don't know HOW I knew Linda was your blackmailer, Lois. It was just a feeling I had and she admitted it, so I went from there.
LOIS: She didn't have any more pictures of me, then?
CLARK: *crosses finger behind his back* I can't say that she did.

Quote
We…she did earn it /huh/
LINDA: Whose side are you on, exactly?
Whichever side burns with a brighter fire, I'm guessing.

Quote
CLAUDE: Maybe, but she certainly didn’t get it for her horizontal skills.
LOIS: I believe he meant my investigational skills.

Quote
Busting a corrupt politician in a tax scandal?
No, I believe that was Cat Grant's story. wink

Quote
What about when she announced her engagement? Or when she will announce her dumped fiancé’s suicide?
She didn't write up those stories.

Quote
A hobby, then?
A side job to pay the bills until she gets paid for her freelance work with the National Whisper?

Quote
LEX: He’s got no teeth.
CLARK: *taps mouth* Then what are these?

Quote
Oh? She’s not alone in it after all? And here I figured she snuck the camera after one of her nights of passion with Paul.
She could've done.

Quote
LINDA: I certainly wouldn’t let him have naked pictures of me. What do you think I am? Stupid? Never expected the film to have been used, though.
Exactly.

Quote
At least, now we know why you turned out Linda in part 3 of 4.5. /thud/
You also know why this story stretched into more than 3 parts.

Quote
Linda sure was unexpected.
Glad to hear. smile1

Which was why she ended up on the bad side in both?

Oh wow!!! clap shock notworthy. I didn't see this coming.

Linda...you are evil devil. And Lex? thud He has the pictures now!

I am really curious to read more!

I'm glad that Lois knows that this is now Clark's 2nd time out on the bench, protecting here. Being there for her. Hopefully--with how long she stood there watching him after her nightmare--it didn't go unnoticed to her wink. She's got quite the friend, and quite the handsome potential boyfriend sitting out there all night thinking of her.

What is going to happen??? I must go read more--NOW!!! wave

Great job!
Laura



"Where's Clark?" "Right here."

...two simple sentences--with so much meaning.
