FDK - Trusting Me, Trusting You 4:Highway (17/21) - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

Quote

Clark looked around the barn again. The evidence clearly pointed to a time when this farm had been the focus of at least a couple of people. Half-empty paint cans - and gates or palings or doors painted the same colour. Well-used and carefully maintained tools.

It wasn't hard to imagine his childhood and the early years of adulthood.

His relationship with Evan, Eric, and Daniel, their knowledge of his origins, and the payment of the money - all that spoke of his life in more recent times.

But in the middle, there was a gap.

What had happened?

What had he been doing during that time?

Corrina.

You said it was going to come fast and you didn't disappoint. I hope they get Martha to trust them somehow. Looking forward to the rest. Laura

Thank you for such a quick post! Most appreciated!

Keep up the momentum.

Don't forget there is nothing like buttermilk for what ails you.

That line was pure genius! Loved it!

So looking forward to the next post!

Cheers

Have i mentioned yet that I absolutely love the new posting schedule? Well, I do.

Delightful part - I hope that Shadbolt can detain Martha (or Miss Wallace) long enough and that Lois will be able to get a good description of Martha (or, event better yet, a photo) from Maggie Irig.

Wonder what Eric is going to do with the little piece of green rock Moyne kept as insurance? Hope he will destroy it ...

I also loved Martha letter to Superman and the line about the buttermilk being good for what ails you was inspired

Cannot wait for part 18

although I am sad to see this end ...

What a nice thing to wake up to!

Ingenious. Now if Superman would only remember that his mother used to say that all the time...

Instead of turning, she stepped up him and rested her hand on his arm in a brief touch. "Take care," she said.

The house was silent. Esther rose from the bed, wanting to shower early enough that she didn't disrupt the morning routine of her host family.

So it's not just a name, it's an entire identity she's got there.

Eric Menzies arrived at Bessolo Boulevard and let himself into the huge warehouse.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I thought the compound was on Bessolo Boulevard?

But, midflight, it had given up what Neville had hidden in its pages - a small pebble of green rock.

So, did he look for green K or just anything? And it will be quite interesting to see Ms. Wallace's reaction to the little stone.

But timing was still the issue.

Yes. And only 4+1 parts left. Other people squeeze an entire story in 5 parts. But now, it feels just so... short a time left

Too bad Lois was using it as a distraction (in more ways than one.)

I can't believe there are only 4 parts left! *sobs* I want more, yet I don't b/c I don't want it to end. I'm so excited to see where all the players end up. Yikes about Moyne - so glad he's dead.

I don't think Eric will use the K against Clark, but maybe he will use it to see if Martha reacts to it as I am sure Trask would have had it in plain view when he disabled Clark with it during the capture seven years ago.

But will he also uncover some other interesting things, maybe photos or other personal items from the Kents? Maybe the famous crest of the House of El?

Can't wait for more!

I still don't trust Menzies...

the buttermilk reference was brilliant. I hope Clark remembers the good associations with it

Only 4 more parts!

Laura I thought everyone would prefer to get new parts rather than FDK-FDK. So now, I'm catching up

Elizabeth The buttermilk line was so the readers would know for sure that EW=MK!

DW Glad you liked the quick posting schedule.

Eric having green rock was a test - was he *really* committed to helping Clark?

The compound was behind the warehouse. The compound was razed to the ground. The warehouse - owned by the agency - is still there.

Was Menzies looking for K? I thought he was looking for a photo of Martha? Is he still a bad guy in disguise? Why would he want to hurt Superman?

They are exactly the questions I was hoping would be raised by Eric's actions.

Emily Moyne was evil enough to leave trouble even after he'd died.

Joy Re not trusting Menzies - this was his test.

Vicki It's

when FoLCs don't want a fic to end, but as the writer, by this stage, I just want to move on to something else.

The buttermilk pancakes - I would have used that if I'd thought of it.

Thanks for the FDK, everyone,

Corrina.
