Thank you for reading. Comments taken here.

Wow, I like how he stood up to Murry. Cat is great in this, and Lois is starting to fall for Clark. I am still with you, and curious to where this is going to go. More soon. Laura

Laura: Thank you. I never understood Superman's reasoning in getting into the ring with Tommy Garrison in the canon episode, except for the fact that canon Clark seemed a bit of a boxing nut. (Maybe it's a man/woman thing.) Although, I gave this Clark more of a reason to fight Garrison (him beating up Clark's friend Jimmy), Clark will show more true character, I believe, by keeping himself out of it. Since I had Alt-Clark learning the hard way, with Walt Irig getting possibly hurt because of their fight over Lana on Prom Night, this Clark is even more against fighting humans "for fun" than canon Clark was. Yes, poor Lois is being tempted more by Clark's wicked wiles. wink

IolantheAlias: I'm glad you're enjoying Cat. She'll be a bigger part of this entire story than Jimmy or Perry, I believe, when all is said and told. I have some fun things planned for her. evil

Sydney: What? Cat wasn't a good reporter in canon? Although often protrayed as clearly not as intelligent as Clark or Lois, she seems to be good at coming in with the goods (especially prostitute renting senators and bribed congressmen). Clark is also good for Cat. It always made me sad that canon Cat didn't have anyone to go to in ASU, when the world was ending. She needed a friend (without benefits) as much as alt-Clark needed one.

Quote

Almost three months? Is H. G. due to appear soon?
Hmmm. Yes, what was that 3 month anniversary again? wink Currently we're at the beginning of August, just under 3 months in. Clark's all packed and ready to head home after his vacation, right?

Clark glanced up and was about to ask why Jimmy had given them to him when he wasn’t working with Lois on the boxing story,
This spells T R O U B L E to me…

Clark wished he could have left with her as he hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep with her there lying against his stomach.

but as it occurred simultaneously with her new-found interest in being Clark’s bosom buddy,
laugh

Quote
so that she could officially be with Superman, Clark would jump at the opportunity.
He would even dress up in blue tights for her? So she can make love to her hero?

Quote
He would kick himself from here to the moon and back again for the duplicity, but he’d still do it.
[Linked Image]

Quote
Of all of the reasons why Lois would never date him, the fact that he didn’t eat sweets hadn’t even been on his list.
So, it was the logical reason to choose, then, wasn’t it?

Quote
Not that Clark would ever wish more death or misery on Lois, so she’d come running into his arms.
Ooooh! I’ve got an idea. Huh? What? Drat. Okay, nix that idea. It’s already been patented by LexCo. And we all know how messy those patent infringement cases can get… /points at the Apple/Samsung war over the Space Odyssey’s computer tablet/

So much for doctor-patient confidentiality.
No, that’s still good. DPC doesn’t protect you from bad guys breaking into the good doctor’s office and stealing your trade secrets.

what would Menken or whoever was backing him, do to her father, or to Lois?

Quote
The money that must have been fronted for this project must have been big – Luthor big.
Oooooh!

Quote
. He had not even the whisper of proof that Luthor was involved,
How about those arms? When folded at the elbow, don’t they look just like an L. And both together, that’s Lex’s Double-L.

Quote
but like Lois, Clark could make suggestions to Cat until he was blue in the face, and she would do whatever she wanted anyway.
Maybe it’s him? Maybe he doesn’t know how to talk to women?

Quote
The angle that Cat picked to investigate should have been no big surprise: sex.
laugh

Quote
She was curious where Luthor picked up his bedfellows.
Blue Oyster Bar. On an unrelated subject: I’ve recently re-watched the Police Academy…

Quote
She figured that a man of Luthor’s stature in the city and in business meant that he had sex often, probably daily, just to relieve stress,
Ooooo-kay. Is the south-east Asian stereotype massage therapy with a happy ending tax-deductable as a medical expense?

Quote
but he didn’t have a serious or obvious girlfriend.
Boyfriend. Lex does have a lot of male companions running around…

Quote
Clark told Cat that he personally didn’t want to know, nor did he want to even consider Luthor’s paramours.
So, he’s suddenly not interested in what Lois does at night?

Quote
Still, Cat went on with her theory after reassuring him that Lois wasn’t one of them. Thanks a lot, Cat, for that image.
laugh

Quote
Cat figured that since Dr. Baines had been a woman and Lex was a man that possibly there had been more between them than the space program.
They have been validating her theories on docking maneuvers.

Quote
Cat believed that Luthor seduced his victims or partners in crime with sex, lulling them to do what he wanted with the possibility of becoming his wife, and having access to all of his billions.
Oh. Isn’t that what Mindy Church does, too? They could actually be siblings. Or father/daughter?

Quote
Clark had retorted by reminding Cat that not everything in life was about sex.
That’s true, actually. The other half’s about money. Plus, you can exchange one for the other at various rates.

Clark slipped the photos into the packet and glanced over at Lois’ desk. She had just arrived and was turning on her computer.
That could have been a bloody mess…

Quote
Lois frowned at him. “What are you doing with my photos?” she accused.
See?

Quote
Cat had even asked Clark if there was something he wanted to announce.
Cigars for everyone! Lois just found out she’s pregnant and wants to get back together.

Uumm…

“I can’t believe a woman as caring as you would risk someone going after your dad by writing that story.”
Has he *met* her? And would he also stop her from printing the story if her Dad was Lex Luthor?

Lois gulped. “I was…” She closed her eyes and hated with every fiber of her body to say it. “— wrong.”

Quote
Uh-huh. Likely story. Probably more that Superman didn’t want me to yell at him for thinking it was his fault that Allie died. Lois looked up to the ceiling and shook her head.
clap Maybe she should yell at him for thinking she’d yell at him?

No, no, no! Perry wouldn’t dare! Lois glowered at her boss. “This is my story, Perry,” she warned him.

She looked up at him with the full intention of pushing him away, but he was gazing at her with melancholy eyes like she had stabbed him with her words.

“Is that really who you think I am?” he asked, speaking so nobody else could hear him.
Oh boy. She really got a defective Clark, didn’t she?

Quote

“I’m right?” he echoed in amazement.
Great. Now the needle has jumped out of the track

What about defiling Superman? She didn’t manage to pull that one off. And she still hasn’t pushed some sweets down Clark’s throat. Although, she hasn’t really applied herself to that one, yet.

Well, I did come up with this whole sub-plot of actually keeping Allie alive and hiding him out with Lois first and then Clark, but then I figured, didn't we just do that with Alan Morris (Mr. Invisible) and I wanted to move on to the end of Requiem and get on more fun plot points. devil So, you can thank the Invisible Man for cutting a good five parts out of my story, but I'll keep it in reserves in case I ever want to revisit Requiem (in other words, I hit a VERY dry spell).

No, I mean he makes big donations to Goodwill, so they don't stay at his apartment.

True. But which would be the greater payoff? Indicting Superman or admitting to financing reconstructive surgery for high-end athlete machines?
Do you mean the former would happen if Superman used his super strength to hit a cyborg and accidently killed him? Thereby guilty of killing and sent to jail? Yeah, I'm thinking that would be the one Lex would chose. The other thing he can fix with a PR blitz.

Okay, I’m back for real this time. I was supposed to be back Tuesday but my sister called and asked if I could go with her kids to Cedar Point. And yesterday I had to paint my bathroom, which took longer than I thought it would. But it looks great and now I have nothing to do but review!

Quote
Clark glanced up and was about to ask why Jimmy had given them to him when he wasn’t working with Lois on the boxing story, but the kid was already half-way across the bullpen. Pictures? He picked up the packet and glanced over at Lois’ empty desk.
Put down the pictures if you want to live.

Quote
For some reason, Lois had become less obsessed with Superman, but as it occurred simultaneously with her new-found interest in being Clark’s bosom buddy, he was okay with that development.
laugh Finally a chance for Clark?

Quote
Lois wanted Clark in her life, too. He was the man she called when he was depressed about Allie’s death. He was the man she came to for solace, when she discovered she didn’t want to be alone. He was the man she asked to hold her in his arms so that she could sleep. Him, Clark Kent. Not some flying guy in tights whom, he reluctantly admitted, was also Clark Kent.
clap

Quote
He didn’t even want to think about these past two weeks, since the ‘ice cream incident’, when Clark didn’t think they would ever get together because of another one of his flaws, and Lois had ignored him completely and avoided him like the plague. Of all of the reasons why Lois would never date him, the fact that he didn’t eat sweets hadn’t even been on his list.

If Herb Wells had stopped by during the last week to take him back to Clark’s home dimension, who knew what Clark in his depressed state would have said?
He wouldn’t have left, would he? Don’t give up yet!

Quote
Oh, no, no, no. Don’t go there, Kent, he told himself. He had not even the whisper of proof that Luthor was involved, but how attractive would it be to have even the hint of the whisper to prove to Lois that Luthor wasn’t all that he stacked up to be?
Go with you instinct! It’s always Luthor!

Quote
Clark had retorted by reminding Cat that not everything in life was about sex.

The gossip queen had merely patted his face and cooed at him for his innocent naivety.

Quote
“I’ve got ‘em,” Clark said, holding up the packet and walking over to her desk.

Lois frowned at him. “What are you doing with my photos?” she accused.

“Isn’t CK working with you on this story?” Jimbo interjected in dismay, looking back and forth between them. “After yesterday, I thought…” He glanced at Clark with embarrassment.

Jimbo clearly had thought Lane and Kent were back together again. He hadn’t been the only one. Cat had even asked Clark if there was something he wanted to announce. He thankfully had been saved from answering by a call for help.

“You thought wrong. This is still my story. Clark and I are only friends, not partners, nor anything else your dirty mind might have been thinking, and if he tries to put a finger on my story, we’ll be less than that,” Lois said, grabbing the photos out of Clark’s hand.
I told you so.

Quote
Clark knelt down next to her. “You don’t really mean that, do you?” he murmured. “I can’t believe a woman as caring as you would risk someone going after your dad by writing that story.”

Lois gazed at him. “You think I’m caring?”

“I know you are. The way you fight for truth, for justice, defending the little guy from dominance and the will of the corporation,” he explained, unable to stop the admiration in his voice from shining through.

“Truth? Justice?” Lois said with a broad smile. “Superman certainly has been a positive influence on my life.”

“Perhaps,” Clark said with a wink. “You’ve been a positive influence on his.”

“Now, now. Just a minute, yesterday you told me it was murder,” Perry reminded her.

“How exactly have I seduced you? As you have pointed out to everyone from here to Gotham City, we are just friends.”
That’s a good question. Which Lois will probably not answer…

Quote
“What’s up with your three month anniversary at the Planet? Expecting a party? Or is your girlfriend supposed to show up?”

As soon as Lois said the words, her stomach dropped, and she hoped it was the former reason. Did Clark have a girlfriend? Was that what felt wrong about him? Why didn’t he have her picture up in his apartment? Was that why he denied his one-night, or had it been more nights with Cat, so his girlfriend wouldn’t find out? That would make Lois’ day a complete trifecta of misery: killing a page one story, ending up in Perry’s doghouse, and Clark being unavailable. She didn’t know why she felt this way. She should be relieved that he had a girlfriend, then he wouldn’t tempt her to cheat on Superman. Only she felt the opposite of relieved. How could he have a girlfriend? What if she wasn’t just a girlfriend, but a wife? Her guts tied into knots in her belly. She had thought Chuck was smitten with her. Maybe she didn’t really know him at all.
Wow, all that from “3 months”? smile

“But, Supes…”

As he flipped through the photos, he wasn’t sure what he was looking at. This didn’t look like every day sports medicine, or even prosthetics. He turned a photo right side up. This was clear case of robotics. Oh, God! What had Lois stumbled onto? The biggest scandal in sports history in her dimension and his combined, it looked like. Lois had just unearthed the tip of the iceberg, he bet. If it had been big enough to kill Allie over, what would Menken or whoever was backing him, do to her father, or to Lois?
The sentance "This was clear case of robotics" should either say "clearly" or "a clear case".

It is interesting to note that Clark still does not think of this as his dimension as this point, although he seems to have no desire to leave.

“What if those men who went after Allie come after your dad for leaking the story to Daily Planet?”
I am pretty sure that Clark would say "the Daily Planet". It just does not seem to work without "the" before it.

Quote
She shrugged. Maybe she shouldn’t have told the Chief the other day about witnessing the truck speeding through the intersection at Allie. Clark was right, damn him again for that. She didn’t want whoever killed Allie to go after her father. She might be angry at her dad ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, but she didn’t want him dead. Especially if it was her article who put the final nail in his coffin.
I am not sure that "who" is the best word here. It has as its antecedent "her article", so I think probably that or which would be a better pronoun.

Quote
“I attend charity functions, if and only if, my appearance is more likely to help the charity. I shall preapprove any and all function requests. I don’t speak for money. Neither I, nor the Superman Foundation, accepts money for me attending an any event. All requests must be made in writing, and the charity must be verified as being authentic. I don’t perform for birthday parties, businesses, or functions. I don’t ‘perform’ at all. All of my acceptances must carry the waiver that I will attend ‘if possible’ as emergencies come first and foremost before anything else,” Superman said.
"attending an any event" does not need an. I half wonder if you meant "at", but I think it would sound better just "attending any event".

The sentance "This was clear case of robotics" should either say "clearly" or "a clear case".
Yes. Thanks, again.

It is interesting to note that Clark still does not think of this as his dimension as this point, although he seems to have no desire to leave.
It's still early yet. This was on purpose.

Quote
I am pretty sure that Clark would say "the Daily Planet". It just does not seem to work without "the" before it.
Yes, he would.

CLARK: blush Can I use the excuse that Lois makes me tongue tied?

EW: I fixed it, Clark. Relax.

CLARK: Phew.

I am not sure that "who" is the best word here. It has as its antecedent "her article", so I think probably that or which would be a better pronoun.
I must have changed antecedents at some point. I thank you, and my future G.E. thanks you. laugh

"attending an any event" does not need an. I half wonder if you meant "at", but I think it would sound better just "attending any event".
Ooops, another typo I didn't catch after transcribing. If I get interrupted while typing (which strangely enough happens A LOT with two small children in the house), this is the type of typo that occurs. Thanks for catching it.

If you keep this up, you might get an honorary Beta title. wink
