Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Games People Play 6/7

Yay! I love revelation stories, and I had been wondering what it would take for Clark to finally come clean with Lois in this one.

This was my favorite part of the entire story. And their discussion after everything is over is going to be a great one! Clark must be wondering why Lois is so calm about the whole thing.

Wow. I'm sure that the bunker (and Lex's words during the Ides of Metropolis) should have clued me in about Lex and his nihilistic plans for a world-wide Luthor dynasty, but seeing you fill in all the gaps really gives me a better feel for how crazy Lex was. Chilling A-plot.

I still loved seeing Lois watch Clark (and make use of) his abilities, so thanks for placing the reveal at the end of the chapter, Nan. Great job with that, btw. LOL at Lois suggesting *twice* that they separate. She tried so hard to give him a chance to go be Superman without revealing himself. I wonder if Clark will realize that before Lois points it out to him.

I could really hear Clark's deprecating tone of voice when he mused that Lois wouldn't be speaking to him later. On the contrary, big guy, you have nothing to worry about.

I love seeing a very smart Clark, as well. Of *course* he would save one of the satellites as evidence. Wouldn't have occurred to me, but then Clark is the world-class investigative reporter.

Great chapter -- can't wait to see the fall-out <g> for Luthor and the resolution between Lois and Clark.

Interesting that he cares about Lois enough to reveal himself to her and yet he doesn't trust her enough to tell her why he can't go back there. I wonder if he's ready to face what he expects to be the wrath of Lane.

Great part and start of wrap-up, Nan. I like how Sman took care of the satellites and the big revelation (he thinks) was his digging them out of the bunker.

Artemis

Wow, excellent A-plot stuff. And good B-plot, too, although, again, lots of it is under the surface. At least until Clark digs them out from underground and into the (metaphorical) light of day. Their next conversation (once all the plot details are tied up) is likely to be quite interesting.

Elisabeth's comments caught my attention, increasing my curiousity about why Superman can't go back there. Clark said (okay, thought) he didn't know what Luthor might do, but he's still convinced he can't go back there. So I'm thinking he saw something in the files.

I can't remember; is this story set after GGGoH? I guess at this point I'm lucky to remember that it's first season. The box with the wires and headphones made me think of Wall of Sound, which I know hasn't happened yet. If there's Kryptonite it's well sheilded, or Clark wouldn't have been able to do all the things he did. Anyway, I'm assuming the reason he didn't explain his "I can't" to Lois is that he thinks it would be too complicated to explain -- he does say he'll explain later. So I don't know if it's a lack of trust or just a lack of time. I guess we'll find out!

I did enjoy the revelation; it's so understated. "I'm going to have to make a door, hang on" and they lift off. Very efficient!

I also liked that Lois glared at Superman and threatened to never speak to him again. Very un-crush-like behavior, which should encourage him if he thinks about it. Although he'll probably assume she's furious and just didn't want him to deprive her of the pleasure of telling him off

So, to sum up: This great! Want more!

I'd prefer to think that it's kryptonite, that Lex had a piece of the green rock and that Clark got only a glancing exposure to it.

I'd also prefer to think that Clark feels that he doesn't have the time right now to explain everything to Lois. So far, if it's the end of season 1, he's only encountered the green K once (in GGGoH, right?) He probably feels that he's got to go and save the world and that there'll be time to discuss his Achilles heel later on.

If this is 6/7, I'm really looking forward to the wrap-up of the plot threads. Will Henderson be in time to get any evidence? Why do I feel that Lex will live to fight another day, and that LnC will have to do some serious investigating?

Great A-plot, Nan!

Nice details at the begin of this part

I halfway expected Clark to stumble upon Kryptonite in the cavern. An implied threat is always a great plot-tool

Ooh matter of fact revelation

So Henderson takes her seriously.

Hmm... I'm guessing that's the narrator's POV. So, we are going to see a green glow coming up next?

Hi Pam! It's set directly after Nightfall. That was when Lois found out about Lex's ark and decided to come back and snoop ar- erm investigate.
