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

Now, this was what you all expected, right?

Another Cliffy! Yeah, sorry about that. I, normally, don't like breaking scenes in the middle, but if I moved the whole scene over it would have made Part 38 too short, so... Oh, look, another shiny thing....

I promise, no cliffy ending at the end of Part 38.

How funny that Clark is telling the truth but Lois thinks he's joking around! I like that Lois is slowly coming around and that Clark hasn't spilled the beans yet. But I'm a little worried he may have waited too long. This Clark and Lois have been through more intense experiences than the original. I don't think she'll react well. (Well...of course not. Just even worse than canon).

What did you do, Virginia? Do you really want to be the new queen of all cliffhangers?

So, a dark haired man with a gun? Who is he?

Luthor? I don't think so: he is more subtile....

Trask? May be. But I think that they know him.

A new Kryptonian? Why not? Or is it too soon?

Tempus? But is he dark haired? I don't remember.

Or? Or?

I don't know. Please, post soon

I am glad that Clark did not cave into Lois. I am more glad that Lois finally managed to understand why he didn't by the end.

Considering that Lois says she can't marry him, he made the right decision in not doing anything with her in my opinion. Call me old fashioned, but I think his being smart. Lois would hate him a long time if his secret got revealed if he had sex with her when she was reeling from his alter-ego rejecting her. Also, I do not think he could have avoided floating while having sex, so the secret would have been revealed that night, which would have been several times worse.

I am really wondering who this gun carrying guy at the end is. I also am afraid Clark's secret might be revealed. Losi is going to be awfully mad at him about it.

I am also surprsied that he managed to not answer Lois' question about whether Superman was bragging about her throwing herself at him.

Lastly, how did Clark forget about Lois throwing herself at him before.

It reminds me of when in the Superman cartoon TV show Clark tells Lois he really is superman to explain his scooping her, and she does not believe him. If things are ludicrous enough just saying them does not let the secret out.

Joan: Lois told him to tell her his deepest, darkest secret, which he did... kind of. There's a lot he hasn't told her. Yes, Lois's resistance to the collective... <<cough>> I mean, to Clark is starting to fail. Ah, shucks. Does there ever come a time when it becomes too late to tell the truth? (And no, I don't mean when the kids start flying around the house and freezing the fishtank.)

Will Lois be angry, nuclear bomb angry, at Clark for not telling her? Hmmmm. I've not yet posted a story where she's *not* angry at Clark for not telling. Maybe "Just a Little Note" ... no, wait, mad Lois makes an appearance there too. But, then again, I like mad Lois.

Sydney: Oh, dear, that one line has totally distracted you from all that good fluffy stuff earlier in the part. Yes, my Betas slammed me for the double cliffy too. My apologies.

The characters would have recognized Luthor, if it was him, don't you think?

Yep, they've met. (Remember plane, kiss, Lois jumped.)

Someone who agrees with me.

Yep, I'm thinking that would have been a "worse than Claude" moment, too.

Hmmmm.

I'm thinking there's no way for Clark to reveal himself now without Lois getting mad at him.

He's managed it every time she's accused him of talking about her with Superman behind her back, except I think that one time when Superman originally dumped her.

He didn't see it as Lois throwing herself at him, more as drunk flirting that wasn't serious. Plus, he was seriously distracted during this conversation.

Clark reveals secret identity to Lois That's hillarious! Is that the one you mean, John?

I'd post a longer FDk if I was at a better computer for typing (hubby got an IPad for this trip/vacation and I didn't bring my laptop) so the longer post will have to wait. Loved this!

ER:
EW:

You mean, like this: ?

LOIS: She can do this with one arm tied in front of her. Literally. But Cat could do it with both hands tied above her head. Also literally.

Not necessarily.

Point Lois.

He’s married to a Kryptonian Lady?

Naughty, naughty, naughty, *naughty* girl.

Pishawwww…

Oh dear. Now she’s going into stubborn hurt mode.

Maybe she would. Wouldn’t stop her from coming back for more, though.

Oops? Once again, Lois jumped without checking that this is a ten meter board and below it’s the toddler pool?

So, all the bad parts without the fun stuff? Lois is so going to go for that. At least she’ll get a decent meal a day and someone to do the cleaning chores. Even if he steps out at night and returns in the wee hours after what’s obviously an extra marital relation. There’s been fic about last that scenario. It’s on your to-read list.

Oooooh. A new toy! I completely understand. Nook is good for reading e-mail and checking out early morning FDK, but not good for responding. Have a good vacation!

Michael: You're caught up. Now, I need to. I got distracted by my new ficathon story(s), the fair, parade, and canning. But now I'm back with enough green slime jelly to last me a year. (Green slime is how my son describes my green grape jelly.)

Yep. And this: and this: . I'm thinking I deserved those.

This isn't ready?

Or it could be very bad in a very good way?



He wants her to like Clark, not hate him. And he does pick a fight... sort of.



Why would she bring a can of mace with her on her Superman date?

Brain doesn't work well without blood flow.

True.

My guess is that he doesn't have much experience with what he's trying to talk about.

LOIS: The only Kryptoinian around is Superman and he's... NO!

And nobody thought Clark would be punished for Superman breaking Lois's heart.

Which is why he didn't want to have this conversation.

Possibly.

He just turned her down. Of course she's angry.

It's a parenting technique (which I'm not good at). Where you don't say "no", you just say, "yes" so that it sounds like no. "Yes, you can have TV. Tomorrow, after you clean up your room." "Yes, you can go out with your friends. Next week, after you've been grounded for lying to me."

CLARK: What? Luthor shot her! Huh? Who's that other guy? You mean, I should have said 'yes', now! And whisked her into the bedroom?

CLARK: Thank you. I think.

LOIS: I'll pick some up the next time I'm at "Evil-R-Us" next to LexMart Drugs.

CLARK: I may be a stupid lunkhead, but at least, I recognize this about about myself.

MRS. COX: He, most certainly, does not! I'm all the assistance he needs.

Yep. Yep. Soul mate works too. Kryptonian DNA works. Lunkhead, too.

He's trying to be honest.

CLARK: I don't really want to talk about it.

CLARK: Not the same day you've broken her heart while wearing a skin tight blue suit and red cape.

LOIS: If that were true you wouldn't have moved to Metropolis.

Yep, can he screw up his life more than canon Clark?

How's he doing?

Well, Clark did warn her that he'd make her hate him by the end of the night.

LOIS: Or I could just make him my partner and get the same benefits without the legal stuff.

I'll have to check those out one of these days.

I don't think she's ready to be Darth Lois.

What? You think that she only is going to want a partner with benefits?

Well, there is one coming up...

Details supplied later.

Lex = Evil. So, no, you don't have to like him. But you can love to hate him, if you like.

Lex or Clark? And, yes.

Poor man. He should have suggested the stone for use on Clark Kent instead.

No, she'd figure she was just sleeping at Clark's. It was that she wanted to yell at Lois for the men in her apartment.

EW: <<note to self>> No more double cliffies. Gotcha. Again, no cliffy at the end of 38.

Yep, that is the one I mean. Watching that lone clip a few motns ago got me into watching more Superman stuff, and then to watching Lois and Clark.

Well, you're more than welcome here!

Michael

I just moved across the state for school. I'm almost done! One more semester at Western Michigan and I'm free! ...Until I get my big girl job... I'm staying with a couple from my friends church and their 10 year old foster child. We clicked right away and instead of reviewing this afternoon like I had planned, I was out playing volleyball and soccer. Looks like I'm going to have an active semester, but I will get all the chapters reviewed!

Anyway...on to the review!





Well, actually...

Accept! Accept!





------------
Ugh, Lex. What a creep!

Oh, no! Who is it!? Lucy isn't tied up/held hostage/dead so they can't be that bad right?

Michael: Since I made both green and red grape jellies, my hubby thinks I should nickname them Kryptonite Jelly from their color alone (gives you an idea on their shade).

Yes, but that cliffy seemed to be heading in one direction, but then turned the other way.

EW: Entertainment value for the ER is never counterproductive.

Poor Clark.

CLARK: Not *that* twisted.

EW:

CLARK: <<sarcastic>> Terrific.

Oh, dear. Is *that* what really happened to Ralph?

X Phile: Good luck with your studies!

Terribly sorry.

According to "Ordinary People" she was.

Phew.

EW: Sorry, he's a baddy.

LEX: It's a requirement to get into the Evil League of Villians.

Yeah. What's up with that?

Michael

But they already glow on their own. Two for the price of one!

I'm not taking on freezing Lois in the fic. Been there. Done that.

I was thinking one of those poor admirals from the asteroid chase in Empire. Or maybe that guy he chokes in the boardroom meeting in SW.

Hey, I just thought of a funnier ending to NH. Hee hee. What if instead of the tinkling noise of coins, he heard a raspy breathing apperatice? LOL. Okay, I got to get my head out of the mud and back on my fic. Trying to get the next part to the Betas before next part posts tonight.

Michael

Clones? No, no, no. I like fresh unique Readers... OTOH, I'm not picky.

This isn't a timeline playing story. This story is timeline sticky for a reason.

Part 40 just posted.

Michael

I think that should be "when he'd done". You could also go "when he had done", but that would probably be a little out of line with your general style, and anyway the first way makes the mistake a lot less.

I also from re-reading realized that Clark told Lois he was from another dimension just after telling her about Smallville. So technically he did tell her it was a different Kansas, she just seems to not have picked up on it then.

I think that should be "some of those".

I think that should be "what a great".

I think you have one too many "that ideas" there.

I sort of thing it should be "arrived in Metropolis". The current way might be workable, but it sounds awkward.

I think the "have" is unnedded there.

Oh, fine, we'll stick with my usual style. Thanks.

Um... he told her he was Smallville, Kansas, not a "different Kansas".

Right again! Fixed.

Only by those who prefer correct grammar. All better now. Thanks.

Perhaps, I did, but not anymore! Say bye-bye to those extra ideas, Lexy! Thanks.

Oh, that whole sentence was a mess.
