Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

I'm caving from FDK withdrawl. I know many of my readers are off on their own vacations... but I'll take what I can get. wink I'll try to respond to comments this week, but RL (and my family) is dragging my away from my computer, so no promises. Part 24 should be posted on July 23rd as promised.

Many apologies to Tank, but, well, this development was foreshadowed in Another Lois. Rest assured it is only a minor, and temporary, subplot. laugh

So, what do you think of my two Jimmy solution?

“Lois,” he said, his voice still quiet, so their conversation wouldn’t be overheard by Alan Morris and his body unmoving. “You were angry, in pain, and you were drunk.” He pushed a wayward lock of hair behind her ear. “I didn’t want to take advantage of you.”
Awww, that's so sweet! Too bad Lois is sick of it.

Quote
“Well, who asked you to protect me? Mr. Love-‘em-and-Leave-‘em? Maybe I wanted… needed some escape from my life for one night, to know that someone found me attractive, and wanted me, and you weren’t there for me,” Lois defended her bruised ego, still shoving on the door to get it closed. “I can’t believe I thought you cared.”

“Fine. I give up, Lois,” Clark said, throwing his hands into the air. “The next time you get inebriated and beg me to sleep with you, I’ll turn off my morals and cave. Is that what you want?”
Oh I just know this is going to come back and bite them in the patootie!

clap clap clap clap I'm just waiting with baited breath for the PML Chapter. It's going to be a lot of fun to see how they're different there.


CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Asking Cat to bid against Lois, so that Lois wouldn’t have had a chance at winning a date with Superman, had not helped matters any. Cat had said she would be happy to oblige as she’d like nothing more than a date with Superman. Clark had felt like banging his head against a concrete wall in frustration; not as if that would have done him, or the concrete wall, any good.
Not your brightest idea of the day.

Quote
It wouldn’t do any good for his reputation or for Lois’ safety for Superman to go off half-cocked and punch Luthor for talking to the woman he loved, no matter how tempting the desire had been.
Maybe not, but it would be fun to watch!

Quote
“How could he not like you, Lois?” Clark asked her, digging himself deeper into that hole he had hoped to avoid by telling her that she and Superman could only be friends. “Someone as wonderful, funny, intelligent, beautiful, and determined as you. I know if you felt for me what you do for him, there wouldn’t be anything stopping me from taking you into my arms and whisking you away to the stars. So, he must have a darn good reason.
Awww, how cute!

Quote
“Come on, Chuck, whisk me to the stars. Be my own personal super man. Make me forget him.”
This can't end well...


Two Jimmys!? Didn't see that coming.

Lois is a bit confused in this story and she is confusing the heck out of Clark. Maybe it is all because he is the wrong Clark, but he should be the right Clark. It seems like a long way already to take them together. I am not sure how and where you are going to get them to their right mates. Clark needs a Lois and Lois needs a Clark. But dead Clark needs to be saved. And dead Lois needs to be saved, unless she is not really dead and hiding in an alt dimension. Maybe you can get dead Lois and dead Clark together? LOL Ok it is late and I am rambling. More soon!

Cat sashayed up to him before Clark entered the Monday morning meeting. “I told you jealousy works. Did she even thank you for rescuing her from Luthor at the bar?”
Oh. And goofy

Quote
Luthor had moved on to more interested pastures.
Ooooh! Nice phrase!

“Did you ever think that this was as hard for him as it is for you?”
Not helping.

He knew that since he wanted to have a serious life-long relationship with Lois, he couldn’t start it off with a drunken one night stand. She never would have forgiven him, and he would never have forgiven himself.
Actually. It worked out great in Pam Jernigan’s Hubris series. And of course, Wendy Richards’ Faux Pas. Okay, both where not really out-of-their-mind drunk, but still probably a tad mellowed.

Quote
Yes, Lois Lane regretted her actions on Saturday night and was blaming him again for some reason. He didn’t know why. He had acted like a perfect gentleman.

A young man with tawny hair falling into his eyes and wearing a retro styled bowling shirt entered the conference room. “You wanted me?”

The brunette Jimmy answered, “Michael.”

“Bartholomew,” replied the blonde Jimmy.
Not ‘Justin’? Oh, they used B. on the show?

Clark bolted straight up in bed. Well, not in bed, per se, as he was hovering above it. He could have sworn he heard Lois scream.
Oh boy.

Quote
“Hello?”

“Clark?” It was Lois. Thank God! “Get over here,” she demanded.
clap

Quote
Lois opened the door to see Clark, dressed in a denim blue long sleeve polo and faded jeans, looking sexy as hell and standing in her hall.

Quote
Her eyes widened and she ran to her sister’s room. It was empty; her bed unslept in.

Quote
“I’m going to kill him!” she screamed.

Quote
“Jimmy,” she growled in response to the question with whom her sister had gone out.
Ooooh! Does older Jimmy run away with Lucy?

Quote
“From a fluorescent light bulb. A fluorescent light bulb turns invisible light into visible light. I reversed the process.
Umm… I think he’s just a mass-hypnotist or something because the opposite of visible light is blackness, not transparency. Yeah. There are some experiments with metamaterials that can bend light around an object. But it’s not that portable right now. Not something you build from a couple of fluorescent lightbulbs you got at LexCo.

Quote
“Oh, really? What do you call the other night, then? I practically threw myself at you, and you didn’t want to have anything to do with me! Whisk me away to the stars, my fat fanny! What? I’m not good enough for you, Chuck, is that it? Just because I don’t have as much experience as Cat Grant… The entire MetNet cheer squad doesn’t have as much experience as Cat…”
She really does have an easily bruised ego, doesn’t she?

“Lois! I have never slept with Cat Grant,” Clark told her once more.

“Yeah, right. Fine. Had sex with. Whatever. Just get out,” she said, pushing on her front door again.

“Fine. I give up, Lois,” Clark said, throwing his hands into the air. “The next time you get inebriated and beg me to sleep with you, I’ll turn off my morals and cave. Is that what you want?”

“Yeah, well, the last time I got drunk before last Saturday night, was when Claude stole my story, and I wouldn’t beg you to sleep with me if my life depended on it. So, don’t hold your breath, Chuck,” she said, finally getting him to move into the hall and slamming the door in his face.

Love your solution to the two Jimmy problem. I still think Lois craving chocolate is linked to Men in Black III. (PM if you want details, I don't want to spoil anything.)

Poor Clark can't win with Lois. But it wasn't always easy for the Clark in this dimension either.

Enjoy that vacation!

Thanks, Joan. I hope you had fun on your vacation, too. I'm happy not to be Krispy Kreme (aka lobster red). Horse riding lesson got post-poned until tomorrow, so I have a few minutes before I go off on my next spa treatment. (My sister likes to play dress up with me. I don't care. I know there's a hotty under this mom facade, but for some people it's important that they can see it. huh I personally think what's under the skin that matters more.)

NO! Please, no spoilers on MIB 3. I'll catch it on DVD (as I do for most movies). <<Need to add to Netflix wishlist. Thanks for the reminder!>> Although, I'm pretty tempted to catch the new Total Recall.

The two Jimmys idea came to me after I finished writing Another Lois but before I finished posting it. I thought S1 Jimmy is so different from S2-4 Jimmy how am I going to make this work. My apologies for killing off Michael Landes Jimmy in alt-dimension and Lois' 2nd life in this alt-canon-dimension. More fun with the Jimmys during this summer arc. Let me know if I don't make it clear which Jimmy is talking.

S1 Lois never makes it easy for S1 Clark. That's what we loved about this show. Plus, she promised Old Clark she wouldn't fall for New Clark. Let's just say their road is a little bumpier than in canon. wink

23! I'm caught up! smile1

Michael: wave

Quote
Oh. And How did drunk! Lois react to Clark?
Flashback, baby!

Quote
Grape juice. Apple juice. Apple cider. Whatever. I’m sure Lois trained during her formatting years in college.
Unlike the Lois from Smallville I'm assuming that this Lois doesn't like to lose control (ever) and doesn't like to drink her problems away because that did her mother so much good (NOT!). So, I'm thinking no, she was too busy investigating the football team to go out drinking in college.

Quote
Luthor had moved on to more interested pastures.

Ooooh! Nice phrase!
blush Thank you. Unfortunately for Clark... Oh, wait, maybe I didn't... never mind. Let's just say, he could be wrong. laugh Okay, it was in this part. Lois DID say 'yes' to a future date, because she was at an emotionally weak place in her life and two glasses of champagne too many.

Quote
Not helping.
As with canon Clark, it's difficult for him to watch an out-of-control Lois in pain.

Quote
He really likes to roundabout and around again, huh?
He did mention the "utter failure" Saturday night had been, right?

Quote
I thought that’s what copious amounts of alcohol were for?
She didn't drink that much. She was after tipsy, before blind drunk.

Quote
Actually. It worked out great in Pam Jernigan’s Hubris series. And of course, Wendy Richards’ Faux Pas. Okay, both where not really out-of-their-mind drunk, but still probably a tad mellowed.
Ooooh. Goodie! More recommendations.

Quote
I did not see that one coming.
clap Luckily she was out of the room by that point.

Quote
So, she not only remembers her last life but the one before that, too?
Hello, Luthor House for the Mentally Unstable? I'd like to book a suite, under the name of Lane. Lois Lane, please.

Quote
Looks like he really was in a relationship.
clap All the crap of a relationship with none of the good stuff.

Quote
Too late, Lois.
Yep, she's hooked.

Quote
Sounds like she needs to ‘work out’ (read: have lots of sex with Clark) to burn the calories off again.
Don't worry, she comes up with another type of exercise program.

Quote
Ooooh! Does older Jimmy run away with Lucy?

Sorry, canon dialogue. My apologies if the original doesn't hold up in the real world. I was a classics major.

She was rejected by Superman and then rejected by a man who said he wanted to 'whisk her away to the stars'. Yep, she's feeling bruised.

It seems no matter what Clark does he loses. Hopefully he will see that Lois' temporary anger is better than her permanent anger. She may yell at him now, but she will move past it.

Lois exploding at Clark for not taking advantage of her while she was drunk does seem a bit much, but at some level makes sense.

In the end though I think he has not learned the right lessons from dealing with Lana. He needs to know that he cannot control Lois. He should just accept that Lois loves Superman truly and deeply, and tell her the truth. Of course if he did this would be a short story.

On the other hand, I may be underestimating both the hurt and the hallowness. He has seen unending hallowness in his other demension. Still, his noble rejection of Lois as Superman is unwisely putting her at risk. What Clark needs to realize is that the only way to protect Lois is to stand between her and the bad guys. Nothing he does can make it so they stop hunting her.

I am liking this story, but have to say it is much more emotionally high strung than the L&C TV show. It probably does not help that this Clark loved Lois before he saw her, and thus had a higher level of need for self control when he first flew with her. His lack of parents to turn to is also causing him to do a little more stupid things. On the other hand in the show the real Clark shot himself in the foot a lot, so this is not much worse.

In fact, he has laid down the law to Lois on the impossibility of a relationship much sooner. It seems to not have worked at all. Of course in the TV show it was not his laying down the law but Lois deciding that Clark was really the guy for her. In fact in the second season Superman and Clark were both courting Lois, although once in a while Superman would try to point Lois to Clark. The real dancing with Lois, especially when Lois thought Clark loved Mayson, was not in any way an attempt by Clark to move Lois away from Superman and towards Clark.

So I guess I should be patient. Still, the fact that this is the wrong Clark should make me not root for him at all I try to tell myself. Well, I try to tell myself that, but another part of me say, let this Clark hook up with this Lois, and if they get the right Clark back, we can just take him to Alt-Clark's dimension and have him save that Lois and hide out with her until after when that Clark left. Probably not going to happen, but it is a possibility.

It's not as bad of an explosion than it would have been if he HAD taken advantage.

He's having trouble with this. He's trying to nudge her towards his Clark self, but then she basically wants nothing to do with him, so to get any time with her at all Superman shows back up. Yes, it's a vicious circle.

Quote

How does it put Lois at risk? It doesn't mean he's going to ignore her.

Quote

CLARK: I'm trying!

Yeah. Emotional high strung. Yep, that's this story all right. clap I always found Clark a very emotional character.

Quote

YODA: Do or not do. There is no try.

CLARK: Yeah, yeah. Easier said than done, there green guy.

Quote

Yes, Clark hasn't quite learned that he can't force her hand in this, but that it has to be her decision.

The real dancing with Lois, especially when Lois thought Clark loved Mayson, was not in any way an attempt by Clark to move Lois away from Superman and towards Clark.
clap Good Point.

Always recommend for my epics.

Quote

CLARK: Great. There's no way for me to win, is there?
