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

Oh, look, over there. Something shiny...

working on part 50.

Comments?

Hi Virginia,

I'm wondering if Asabi has been able to bug Clark's apartment.

If he has Luthor could be getting an eyeful.

What a place to leave us! You love torturing us.

Joan

ARGH!

So...you'll be posting tomorrow? Because you couldn't possibly make us wait three days after that ending. Right, buddy? That would be cruel and unusual (I guess more cruel than unusual) punishment. AH!



This is the end of Superman?

Ah, I'm out of time This whole chapter was great! I'll try to get back on later.

If I can't, see you in a couple days! If I make it that long xD

Wow I didn't expect you to go there!

I am still totally confused by Lois taking Clark's lack of condoms in his bathroom as a sign that he might not be a boy scout. I guess it shows that he is in some ways not prepared, which might be her thought patern, but the lack seems such a staight arrow think that the supposition seems truly odd.

I am still a little unclear whether Clark actually agreed to make love to Lois at the end. I think that is what happened, but it might just be Lois sure he has to say yes.

At first I thought we should be doing this for Clark. Then I realized that making love without floating will be very difficult. It will not work.

Ken: Your question will be answered in the next part. Please remember that Lex ordered the bugs late Saturday night and this is currently Sunday.

You don't think Clark could have heard the bugs or checked for them when he returned home?

Joan: Who? Me? Torture? You? Hey! I resemble that remark.

X Phile: Oh, dear, another frustrated reader. Naughty me.

John: Lois's comment about Clark not being a boy scout was a joke about his lack of preparedness. She still believes him to be a boy scout. As Tempus says, villians plan, heroes react. Clark isn't much of a planner.



Good question. Would THIS Clark make love to Lois before telling her his super status?

I like that better than what I thought Lois might be thinking, that Clark just didn't care about protecting his partner.

Ahhh- Virginia, you've been turned to the dark side, leaving us hanging off the cliff like that! And this isn't even in the nfic section.

After thinking about the end some more I remembered Clark had basically agreed that the next time Lois was stone drunk and asked him to have sex with her he would. This easily equates to agreeing to do so the next time no matter what the situation is.

I do not think Clark will tell Lois first that he has Superpowers. I mean, that means not lieing to her any more. The problem is that either he tells her all his secrets, that he is a time traveler from another dimension who is 31 although based on when he was born he is only 27, or he only does half a reveal and leaves himself open to another time when Lois might go beserk mad on him for keeping secrets from her/lieing to her.

Clark should be going right now. Since he has been willing to not tell her Mencken died, and put off telling her about the spying devices for several hours, my guess is he will not tell her that he has Superpowers before making love. I also suspect this will mean that she figures it out on her own, and will be fuming mad at him.

Or maybe he's TOO much of one.

The pills couldn't have kicked in THAT quickly, now, would they?

Or certain men who can fly around the world in seconds.

lol

Oh, My....

*squees madly* I'm sure there's going to be a little bit of an interruptus at some point but still...

Is it time for Jimmy Interruptus? And we have 2 James/Jimmy in this story!

Or is it time for Herb's return?

And now part 37. Oh no! You didn't post it yet!

rkn: Oh, no! Lois wasn't thinking that. More like "he's such a boy scout, he doesn't even expect it when it's coming".

The dark side is coming... in a totally different story.

John: Hmmmm. Does Clark think pain meds = inhebrieated = Lois won't mind later? Because she said it was okay? Hmmmmm.

That's one vote for the secret keeper. right now. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

But she's so cute when she's mad, right? Right? Clark? Clark? Where did Clark go?

CLARK:

Christina: Yep, you got it!

2 points!

Pain pills don't make one horny. At least, none of the ones I've ever taken.

Yes, well, tomato/potato. (That's you say "Tometo", I say "Tomahto".)

I was going to put

I was going more for the idea "Clark tells Lois he is Superman because he gets tired of telling her lies". They weigh on him a lot, so he comes clean. If he is coming clean he might as well come clean on everything. Of course maybe alt-Clark sees things a little differently.

He might be able to sell Lois on the he's a strange visitor from another planet, but if he told her he's from another time and dimension as well (seriously), Lois might start thinking Supes got a screw loose. It's the type of thing that without HG Wells, it's kind of hard to prove. Also, if he were to tell Lois that he came to this dimension to find her because he had fallen in love with a different version of her who happened to be engaged to a different version of him... he's once again risking angering Lois because he doesn't love "this Lois her" but "other Lois her".

CLARK:

Look! Not even a week late with FDK

But he’s too much of a self-obsessed lunkhead to realize the implications.

Can we get a new model now? One that works correctly?



Time to ask for a urine sample.

Sneaky!

Oh? Also, Ralph?



That, too? What *is* up with him?

Ooooh! Plan B!

No, in Metropolis the waiters still run around with a smoke hanging from their lips, sprinkling ash on all the dishes they serve.

Very sneaky!

So, he really did catch the wayward bullet?

Nigel? What if they showed Nigel’s picture to him? And didn’t Asabi say he had handled the situation? Or was that Nigel and Asabi both handling it independently?

That was Asabi.

There ain’t no such thing as overkill.

Considering he was supposed to die even without turning, I’m guessing it’s ‘never disappoint your backer’?

There’s still the sniper option.

That’s actually true.

How about they try and see if boiling oil would stick more to Luhtor?



That what a picture of them and the Missus is for. It’s usually placed on the desk of the workplace and another one in the wallet.

Huh. Am I just forgetting things or is there usually no Chapter title?

Oh dear.

Michael

Michael: Better late than never.

CAT: Hold it! Hold it! Nobody told me that *that* was a possiblity. I want a re-write of the outline, now!

He often is.

CLARK: It can't be worse than Friends *without* benefits, can it?

Helpful, he was going for helpful. She had been worried about drippage earlier at the cafe.

Of course she has. She's just never seen one at a home before.

To cut, but not to eat.

Liberated LOIS: I'll accept this scenario as long as I get to choose the closet, and I choose Sue S's closet where she keeps her Clark.

CAT: Again! Rewrite!

Do you think they act that fast? Maybe it's just her subconscious being confused by Clark/Superman?

CLARK: And my folks did teach me to eat with both hands.

LOIS: Don't worry, I was once a Girl Scout.

I've broken Michael. Too much UST!

Looks like it paid off to use really tiny words in the manual.



No. She first has to almost put out for Lex and Dan and Ralph.

Michael

CLARK: What? I was supposed to read between the lines?

LOIS: Ralph? Dan? Who's that? The names sound familiar but they make me quesy.

CLARK: Thanks.

EW: Actually, I remember a story recently where... Ah, yes, Anti-K's And Then There Was Light .

Superman couldn't have done all that stuff Clark claims, could he?

Was the before or after he joined the DP?

LOIS: You think I need to add more commas to my copy? :rolleyes: Great, another fly-by-night editor, just what I need. Thanks, I already have one of those by the name of Clark Kent.

CLARK: <<looking uncomfortable>> You know that I fly?

LOIS: What do you mean you fly?

CLARK: <<clears throat>> Huh? I didn't say that.

Kind of like very spicey / peppery roast beef, I think. Pastrami

CLARK: I like that they aren't sweet.

LOIS: You think I'm going to kiss that mouth?

MENKEN'S GHOST: I didn't mean that!

CLARK: But I wouldn't have thought it up on my own.

You mean like Dorian Gray?

LOIS: Chocolates? There's chocolates? Gimmie!

CLARK: But people don't do that in real life?

LOIS: <<shrugs>> I know, but he's cute.

I could have sworn I saw Clark with shaving cream on his face at some point. Hmmmm. I guess he's different from Canon Clark in this way too.

CLARK: What do you mean I need to give back my badges?

Maybe he's just heats her up personally.

EW: I didn't say that. Did I say that? Nope. I don't think I wrote that anywhere.

LOIS & CLARK: Phew.

Lois got pregnant WHEN there was Friends *with* benefits, not *without*. Or did I miss that story?

EW: There's a rumor out there that Clark likes Pumpkin Lois.

CLARK: I do? <<thinks about details>> Okay. I agree with that statement.

LOIS: Excuse me! Don't I get a say in this conversation?

CLARK: No?

She's liberated, not Lesbian (as from the Ancient Greek island of Lesbos... which strangely enough, I though WW was from at one point; clearly not, if recent developments mean anything... Of course, it could also explain why she's not living there any longer.)

You mean Lois's body with Cat's soul, doesn't equal Samsung's phone with Apple's iphone soul?

Michael

EW: I think what Lois was saying was that they haven't yet made their appearance in this fic (if they do at all).

He must be one of the board of director's nephews, because otherwise I can't see Perry hiring him.

My apologies. I only tutor in adding commas everywhere (why my Betas are the best due to their paitence with me). Other types of sluty behavior I refer over to Cat's... expertice, shall we say.

MENKEN's GHOST: No, no! I just like to see guys slug it out. That's all.

Always recommended.

LOIS: Michael, Clark isn't smart-impared, he's experience-impared. <<cough>> Naive.

Yeah, that could end up being kind of messy, but he had to teach himself and everyone else uses shaving cream...

CLARK: Well, I have to do it, so she doesn't see me... so, it's mostly in the back.

Would it?

Wow, Clark, that's some pretty powerful aura you got there. Lois getting pregnant just from hanging out with you.

CLARK: What? No! Where's the fun in that?

LOIS: You and me, bub!

LOIS: <<wryly>> Yeah, my body rejected *that* soul. <<thinks a minute>> Does Cat even have a soul?

Oops. My bad. Thought it just happened hush-hush off screen so as to not get Lex Luthor all queasy.

It’s all in who your father’s sleeping with.

Oh, *that’s* why Lois is all talk and no show with Clark on the dark side.

Okay. If the evil bad guy say’s so…

Oh. My bad.

No wonder he got kicked out of so many foster families in his teens. Always got the bathroom all sticky with the white cream spraying everywhere

There was once a story where Lois developed - and died from – backside heatvisioning.

/nods/ It’s one of many options.

No-no. They’ve had fun. It’s just that they had been friends and weren’t doing it for recreational purposes. At first. There was one where Clark decided to jump in in order for Lois to not have Lex do the honors.

Michael

I'm guessing Lex doesn't get queasy, easy.

Nepotism is the 2nd oldest profession.

<<Hands on hips, add in Southern accent>> Well, Michael, is that some crack about my Nfic writing style? And here I was just about to post another one on the dark side. and considering adding in a freebee dark side WC backstory fic, too. <<tsk, tsk>> I have to check with my Betas. It might be a little TMI.

Right. They never lie.





So far I've only found the funny Tank stories (and some good drama like this years TOGOM)

I'm sure Lex appreciated Clark's warming up Lois for him.

CLARK: I bet he paled in comparison.

LEX: Hey!

And she's only got nine? It must be a slow month.

See?

Do we *have* to beg? Fine… Michael

I hear you still owe a part on that one piece you started. Perhaps if you write it, more will be inspired to write. Do we have to beg? Fine! It's currently under consideration between me and my betas. Maybe I'll post it, maybe I'll hold it off to Book 3 ( ), maybe I'll tone it down and put it in the story at some point. By the time posting catches up to where I currently am (beginning of Oct) we should have an answer to that question.

Still!

I don't know. Would I be considered one of those people?

Why doesn't Lex like her again?

Oh dear.

Hmm…/suggests one head, one vote principle/

Actually, no, except for the occasional haircut.

Opposites attract?

Michael

So, each beta gets one vote with mine as the deciding vote? <<checks ballot box>> This is strange. There's only supposed to be three votes here and it's stuffed with votes for Nfic Vignette. I wonder how those got there? So far, I've gotten one vote: Yes , sight unseen. Hmmm. You know Canon Lois and Clark made it to S4 without any noogie, yet I've gone only through a 1/4 of S1 and I've got pleas for more. Very interesting.

Would it be a spoiler to say that the required Lois haircut takes place in different parts of each of the three books?

But... but... but... she's too much woman for him!

You’ve got a beta who doesn’t want nfic? Oh dear.



Umm… Umm…

Michael

Oh, no! I believe her quote was, something of the sort, "Hot steamy stuff! Send it right over." But then RL caught hold of her and I'm still waiting to hear back. That is the one who wants the whole thing hot and heavy. The other one is more partial to UST. I have the best betas.

Michael

I think that should say "on the patio".

I think it should be "to try to".

Thanks. Fixed.

I think it should be "to try to".

Here "its employees" has as its antecedent "the bars and restaurants". That in theory should be "their employees", but I would actually go with just "for employees".

In fact part of me even wonders if it is the "bars and restraunsts" banning the smoking. It might have been outside forces telling the bars and restaruants to do so, in which case maybe you want to say "Tobacco products in bars and restaruants in his dimension had been banned in favor of a healthier workplace for employees". OK, maybe I have just seen too many bar owners especially fight such bans with the claim they will loose business to think it likely they would be the ones to institute the ban.

I think that should be "and the wall".

This is hard to say, but I think it should be "hands-on".

I think that should be "piece on each". This is very good description. It has made me hungry.

I think that should be "pieces".

Funny thing. When I searched with Find/Replace to find this line in the Archive version I came across another time I did this very thing. I fixed that one too. Thanks.

So true. I hope you don't mind but I've borrowed your wording for my story. Thank you.

Darn articles. Yes, thanks.

Normally it would be, but currently she had one arm (hand) in a sling, so this slip-up was actually deliberate.

Thanks. My husband's a chef, so I tend to go overboard on food descriptions in my stories.

Not a 'couple piece'? Silly me. Thanks for catching all of these, John.

I just have to say Clark is a total lunkhead. Breaking up with Lois as Superman was the stupidest think he ever did. Putting her through that pain, when there really was a way for them to be together like she wanted was stupid.

I'll tell him. Thanks for the comment. If you never hear from me again, you'll know Luthor was right in wanting Superman gone.
