Story

I'll probably be adding to the series as time goes on.

Is this the second or something part of a series? I seem to be missing backstory here. Maybe you could put a note at the top if there's a previous story that relates. Though it seems like everything that's absolutely necessary to understand this story is sufficiently explained.

I always enjoy when writers point out that trying to explode the asteroid isn't helpful. I like that here Superman knows something about diverting projectiles. I also like how creeped out Lois was by Luthor's bunker copy of her apartment. It always puzzled me that she acted like it was totally normal and then forgot about it.

I've only seen an episode or two of Eureka, so I'm only vaguely familiar with it, but the story seems fairly comprehensible without being familiar with that show.

Altogether, this is a nice take on ASU.

This is a sequel to A Town Called Smallville

Awesome! I guess I missed that one. I'll give it a read.

Lovely - I can see them having great fun with a lot of the mad scientist problems Clark faced in the series.

And Lex either as part of the Consortium or (more likely) trying to gain entry into it once he hears about it.

Both Cole and Mensa would be candidates for ex-Eureka people - their mental instability would have endangered the community. (Making things go boom is one thing, knowingly endangering the community is something else.)

Hamilton may have thought that working alone was better than working under the eye of the DOD - but Martha might know of him and his work.

Miranda could go either way, someone whose research was cancelled because it didn't pan out or she was just impossible to work with or was caught stealing other people's work or she was someone who was never invited to move because they thought she was a one-trick pony.

You are succeeding in doing something that many writers of crossovers don't -- making the story understandable and enjoyable to someone who is only familiar with one of the shows. Other than knowing that Eureka is a science fiction show about a town where strange things happen, I know nothing of Eureka. I don't even have a clue as to what the strange things are, beyond that they are apparently related to aliens somehow. The only thing I didn't understand in your story was what "GD" stands for. I'm guessing it's something like "Government Defense," but I don't know. Fortunately, it wasn't necessary to understand its exact nature to comprehend the story's plot.

I hope this is proves to be the second in a long series of stories. Thanks for sharing.

Joy,

GD is Global Dynamics - in Eureka, it's a big tech corporation/military contractor that is tasked with managing a highly classified town of scientists that have a habit of making things go 'boom'. (Think Manhattan Project with much much nicer digs and where the scientists are allowed to work on off-the-wall ideas so long as they (eventually) pay off.)

Hi Dandello,

Thanks for the explanation.

Hi Dandello!

Here we go again
Awww darn it! Lois knows and there is no details on the whole PML incident.

LOIS: I made *one*
CLARK: one thousand
LOIS: As I was saying, *maybe* one slightly inappropriate attempt at seducing my partner and I’m getting carried to an isolation chamber in Smallville…

Can you imagine a hyperactive Kryptonian on a sugar rush?

But will Roland Emmerich take their call and answer questions about his new SciFi blockbuster he has in the works?

Oooh, mental inhibitor, implanted deep in her nerocortex?

Oh boy, this should be interesting, when Illusions of Grandeur comes along.

*Somebody* needs to get their funding revoked.

I just had an idea! What if they find more Krytponians and plug them into the drive chambers of reusable space ships? Maybe do a little hypnosis first to make them more docile…

I like the more scientifically accurate version of this

Actually, all you have to do is blow a crater into the road in front of the semi. Works the same with a runaway freight train, too.

Depends on the number of fission devices stored in the cargo area.

So, nobody will be able to use a sniper rifle on him, but what about the lack of solar radiation? Is that…healthly?

Probably looks like Superman’s about to kick a fieldgoal with a football-sized asteroid.

SUPERMAN: Hofzzzz the thing is f-beeeeeeep big.
ANCHOR: I’m sorry, it sounds like we have some difficulty receiving Superman’s signal.

‘Lois Lane-Kent’, I gather. So, basically, anything Lois-related he remembers and that’s it.

Also, isn’t that the standard operating procedure anyway when it comes to Lois Lane?



So, that means there won’t be a wedding in their future?

Because he is a narcissistic control freak with a sociopathic personality disorder and strong stalker tendencies in addition to a god complex?

Chippendale Superman!

Maybe he could have landed it in the Sahara? I’m sure there’s some nice mineral deposits in there that could have given those countries an economic boost.

Very inspired adaption! I’m guessing the third one will deal with Luthor’s surveillance equipment?
