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

So... um... Comments?

Well that was close.

Aaaand I'm hoping she didn't hit it too hard. Older vehicles weren't usually suited to crash as some newer ones today.

Sounds like things are beginning to unravel in Smallville for this little sheriff. I have to hope Hank ends up taking his place if so. Something tells me that Lana still gravitates towards the heroic type.

*said VERY quietly* Oh no...

I guess it could have been worse. Still, she's going to have some major injuries to add to her "battle scars."

Oh no. I suspect it's not Lois but it's likely the Sheriff and Clark. *shudders.*

EVIL CLIFFY! EVIL CLIFFY!

Clark:Well, I just hope she does not circle back to where she started.

Positive Reader: Time and distance both seem larger when you are running away.

Negative Reader: No, she is going in circles.

Fortunantly Trask's underlings were not as crazy as they could be.

They arn't paid enough to go on suicide missions.

Clark:Well, as long as you are not in direct danger I like it.


Soldier 1:Isn't that one of our trucks back there, shouldn't we check it out.

Soldier 2:I did. No one in it. ust have been placed to block access or something. Come on we need to find the Avian's whore before she gets away.

NR:So much for Lois.

PR:Virginia promised not to kill this Lois. She is going to survive. She has to.

Leaving after those last two lines was evil

Don't leave us hanging too long!

Joan

Max hears "go slow, very slow".

Well, Jimmy has reason to believe 4 people are there. It sounds like one or two have been shot. They still can intervene some.

Jimmy:What is he going to do when he gets "proceed with caution", start going at the posted minimum speed? Oh wait, these are country roads, ain't any such thing.

We can only hope.

But he started the police investigation. Shouldn't he get some reward for that? OK, I know that is not how Max works, but it would be the logical thing to do.

Well, could Max just ignore Thomas' call for help?

Wayne: who let this guy become sherriff anyway? I am lbeeding to death here.

[Quote“That’s Sheriff Harris to you, Darlene,[/Quote]

Thomas: Just be glad she did not call you darling.

Darlene: Nah, most days are OK. If we have another day like today, I am not so sure though.

Was he elected, or did he just take over the duties for his incapacitated father?

Clark: Nah, Max, you can not get rid of your enemies that easily.

Max: Lie I care. No one around here excpet the Kents read the Daily Planet and they won't support me whatever you say, so I have nothing to fear from you.

Of course this is assuming the free press has survived the reign of terror of Max at all.

Lois survived the explosion. I am glad you told us this part before Clark seeing it and thinking Lois must be dead.

Wow, you're cushion is really diminishing. You should really get on that writing =P

Martha didn't get hit.

Clark:There goes my peace and quiet. If I am going to suffer from Kryptonite poisoning, I was hoping I wouldn't suffer from having to listen to the mad man rave as well.

Not a very eloquent retort there, Trask. It tells us something that Clark in near-death pain is just as eloquent as Trask in near perfect health.

As opposed to M&J who are old and in love.

This line does not make sense to me. I am thinking there is some type of typo, but I am not sure what it is. You may have ment to put "send" between to and his, but I am not totally sure.

Wayne: Hopefully you guys have backups somewhere, otherwise we are doomed.

Jonathan: Well, Thomas was somewhere near here. I am not sure where though.

So did Trask place the rock on Clark's clothing. This is bad, very bad.

Clark: If only I could convince Trask that he was right in this view, and that it would be more of a victory to make SM a criple than to kill him outright.

Clark: Yeap, not an out yet.

Martha: Yes, it is called human kindness, something you, Trask, lack.

Is there actually a relationship between the size of the Kryptonite and how much it hurts SM?

Martha has gotten it away. Clark just might live.

Yes, Clark's chances of surviving went up even more.

Good old Lois, worrying about her briefcase when she has nearly been killed.

Does Hank want to get smacked? I can not see Lois taking kindly to being called "missy".

Clark: Well, at least she is using a name within the established set of the cover. We did tell Hank that my name was Charles Jerome Lane.

Thomas is avoiding revealing to Lois that Clark is being hurt by the "glow".

Although I am not sure this description is helping at all.

Sounds like she is suffering from shock, not even realizing she is bleeding. Of course when Luthor shot her it took her a while to realize she was hit.

Clark: Because they are serious and need to be trated.

Clark: Lois is alive.

PR: She called you Clark too. Now he will stop believing everyone he loves will die.


At first I wondered if this was a sign that Lois is still mad at him and refusing to call him Clark. However, since Chuck is also here endearment name for him, and not just her angry name for him, I doubt she is remembering that much at this moment.

I am surprised that Max has not shot Clark already.

What about the shooting part?

Now that is somethingeven Max won't be able to ignore.

Clark and Lois embrace.

I had too many smiles, so here is more FDK.

Lois is sticking up for Clark.

Lois:Trask is clearly crazy. If he is Superman, why is he all beat up.

Well, this time it is 100% clear that it is Clark Kent and not Superman that saved Lois' life.

I was beginning to fear that Trask would live. Now, I am not sure what will happen. I am afraid we will move our above canon death count to something larger than 2.

So where are Hank and Jimmy at this moment?

Christina: Thanks for the long FDK!

That was foreshadowing.

/Psst. Lois has a hard head in more ways than one./



LANA: Mind you, I don't do it on purpose.

LOIS: Injuries. Pah! This is nothing. "Bruise" is my middle name. <i.e. Please, don't take me back to the hospital! I'll heal on my own, thank you very much!>

Hmmmmm.

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> EVIL CLIFFY! EVIL CLIFFY!
It's a real cliffy.

Er... um... Well, I've had a really busy week and I haven't had much time to write and... well, I thought I'd leave you guys hanging until the weekend, when I'll post 58. Oh, look, got to go!

See above note to Joan. I've only have a few minutes to write today, none tomorrow, I'll still try to post at least twice a week (but no more 3 times a week until I catch up somewhat).

John: Wow! Thanks for the long and terrific FDK and for catching all those errors. I'll respond in more detail later, when I have more time. I would like to spend part of my free time to actually writing today as I don't much free time. My Betas are chomping on the bit for me to send them 65 and I'm only 10 pages into it.

Maybe I'll switch around those Hank and Clark scenes a bit for the Archive version. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hank is somewhere between his truck and the barn (where all this action is taking place). Jimmy is still under arrest and in the back of the sheriff's patrol car.

Hi Virginia,


In every dimension!

Good question!

What?

Handcuffs? For Trask? Or for Clark?

For Clark! With a sheriff like Max, it's not very surprising.

You're EVIL! You CANNOT stop here!

PS: Who, what, me, evil? I don't know. As far as cliffies go, that's a pretty good one, don't you think?

A twice a week schedule is better than a total hiatus. Beyond that, it seems your buffer keeps getting smaller and smaller, so it is porbably better at least for now than the every three days posting schedule.

Always keep the mossy side of the tree to your left.



They didn’t want to shoot their buddies sitting in the back of the truck and praying they haven’t just been kidnapped by a Metro-cab driver.

Hey, better than a cliff.





There was a crime TV series episode once where the chest area held telltale bruising after the accident, allowing the identification of the car’s driver. Anyhow, poor Jerome will have a heartattack when it gets to the consummation of the conjugal rights in the aftermath of this whole mess.

Yeah, can you imagine if she had pulled out and crashed right into them?

Just like a street walker.

Is B39 going to be able to sue for property damage?

Ooooh! Just like when she tries to make out with Clark. It takes *forever* to get him to go where he’s supposed to go.

He’s such a *failure*.

Isn’t that what a gun is for? He can always claim it when off when he hit a bump in the road. Like that one time during Pulp Fiction?

No, it doesn’t. It’s an *Irig*.



Wouldn’t that be only when they can prove that he was already almost dead by the time they called the copter?

Good going there, James. Hope you like leaded beans.

Oooooh!

Eeeeehhh… Against obnoxious city folk, maybe. But not stuff printed in the Smallville paper. Also, maybe Darlene got a recorder running, too.





The barn?

MAX: Sounds like a war is going on. Best turn around and call in ATF.

LANA in bed: Oh nooooo! You’re not done yet, Hank. Get right back here and finish things.

Sadly, when she did the same thing with Walt, things got ugly and she didn’t win Homecoming Queen that year.

*cough* whore *cough*.

Well, certainly not before then. Also, /points to above/

Ooooh! She *is* a good schemer.

YOUNG HANK:

To pick up from John’s remarks: They probably found her bottom’s imprint on the freshly waxed kitchen table.

Why was he his friend again, then?

So, if Hank had done it with the hands tied behind his back, that would have been fine?

Ooooh! Walt could have made a killing by renting Lana out to the other guys in school.



Why did Rachel go with Walt again? She was still into bad boys back then? Walt a lot like her big brother?

Oh boy. Yummy. :rolleyes:

Well, Lana sure appeared to enjoy herself.



WALT: So, just a roll in the hay, then, without kissing?

LOIS: That’s what the taser in my purse is for.

He appears to be a very cultured young redneck.

CLARK:

Good thing she just got those nail extensions Cat raved about. They where the latest hit in Gotham. Two inches. Stainless steel. Razorsharp edge.

I’m not so sure Trask shares the same genome as the rest of the sane population of Earth. He appears to be more of a crossbreed with a donkey.

Ooooooh! Michael

PS: *G*

John: Sorry about the delay in answering FDK. It's been a crazy week RL wise. I'll catch up a little tonight, but I'd like to get some writing done too.

That would've been funny.

Combination of both?

Or competent.

Er… yeah. And everyone wonders why Clark doesn’t talk about his past.

Not the last time I looked, but then again… this is Lois.

The outside world may affect the change in universe, but who the person really is, doesn’t change.




LANA: It *could* have been his.

Yes, he doesn’t like to this of his dimension’s Lana as “his Lana”.

Hank is also comes from farming family. They didn’t like Walt a) farmer, b) jerk, and c) how he treated their daughter.

Walt was universally disliked, the Irig family was not.

WALT: Well, Rachel was no Lana.

RACHEL: I wished I had just walked. What’s the worst that would have happened? Blisters?

It was probably more of:

WALT: Hey, Rachel, let’s leave prom. It’s boring. I know of a party.

RACHEL: I don’t know. I told my folks we were going to the Prom, not to any parties.

WALT: Hey, live a little. It’s just a party. It’s not like I’m going to keep you out all night. We’ll just stop by. If it isn’t your style, I’ll take you home.

RACHEL: Well…

WALT: Come on! It’ll be fun!

What? You expect Walt to be honest?

- Responce to John's FDK Comments - Cont.

Hank wouldn’t have survived the ensuing fight with Rachel, if he had been so stupid. Lana probably wouldn’t have allowed it either. She might only think of herself, but most women cannot (I hope) ignore another woman screaming “no!”

Heresay. He’s only worried about appearances. Anyway, if she tells that story, he’d probably come up with a worse one about what Rachel had done. (lies, of course).

Seems like a plausible explanation.

Trust me, when someone has been drinking to the point of drunkedness, they don’t sober up THAT quickly and they can stink to high-heaven until they shower and brush their teeth.




Nah. She was there for the full conversation.



Or Hank could just discount anything Lois says for these first few minutes because she just hit her head.

Doubtful.

Lana owes him one for marrying her. Somehow Hank finds it easier to manueuver around Lana’s ultimatums.

But later you suggest that I should move this part back until after Clark hears the explosion. Hmmmm. I’ll continue to think about this.

Maybe. No one knows for sure. Would he get more raditation from a larger chunk? Or the same amount? It’s debatable, which is why Clark doesn’t know (nor wants to test this theory).

I already have a dead Clark in this story, I don’t need two, but that doesn’t mean I won’t torture him a bit or push him to the edge every once and a while.

See, he’ll be fine. Kind of, sort of, not really.

Always good to hear that I got my characterization down.

Hank calling her ‘Missy’ is low down on her pet peeves at the moment. If all this other stuff wasn’t going on, yea, it would be a fair assumption that someone should tell Hank to cover his privates.

LOIS: See, I can think even with a head injury.

That’s because it’s a strange injury.



According to my medical source it’s possible to be shot without realizing it. Remember Forrest Gump got shot several times in the backside and thought he’d only been bitten by bugs.

LOIS: Clark, you worry too much.

CLARK: I worry because I care.
LOIS: Save it for someone who believes that stuff.


She remembers the cover and Clark dances?

Hence the addenum of “face to face”.

Yes, a while back. When Clark was first thinking about why he doesn’t like sweets, I mention that the Kents hit the tree at the base of the driveway, swerving to miss a deer and fawn.

- Responce to John's FDK Comments - Part 3

Actually, this part wasn’t supposed to have a cliffy AT ALL. But then I rewrote the end of this scene which pushed it longer, so I figured… “That’s a good spot”. Pretty Much.


LOIS: I do have other emotions besides anger. I just choose not to use them.

I’m sure that Lois would have a psychic feeling that Dr. Carlin wouldn’t be the right doctor for Clark.

Mr. Irig was shot. Was does that have to do with Clark beating up Trask? True, Trask hasn’t pressed any charges… You’re right. Max is a jerk.

Clark is still technically her partner.




LOIS: What? You think I have a “being rescued” fetish or something?

I promised a lower body count than in “Another Lois” for this story, since we’ve got a living, breathing Clark now.

It saves me one posting every few weeks, but otherwise is the same number of postings as the every third day route.

Sydney: See, I came back.

Pretty much.

Clark. Trask is a colonal in the military after all.

I don't know. You seemed surprised.

Actually...

Michael: I haven't forgotten about you or your FDK. I'll try to get to it tomorrow. My yawns are overtaking me and I have to get up early tomorrow... Monday, again! Why do they keep putting those at the beginning of the week, I'll never know.

/makes note to do future FDKs concise and and to the point, without any senseless rambling, so as not to overtax dear writer/
Because people griped about them when they used to be before the weekend. Ruined the whole thing on a regular basis.

Michael

PS: It's just a lucky coincidence that I'm up to date with WC right now.

PPS: /Diligently files note in circular storage bin./

Michael: Let's see how much I can catch up before people notice, I'm not really helping my daughter with her homework.

You know, they always say that, but having grown up in a rain forest, often trees have moss all around them.

Trask will be happy to hear that they're loyal.

How Lois really made her way through Met U.

CLARK: Yes, sign me up for as a season passholder. What? A life-time pass? Yippie!

Possibly.

Those are posted maximum speeds. Posted minimum speeds generally appear on freeways. They are lower in Iowa than in Illinois, apparently to accomade tractors going on the freeway, or at least that is my theory. A standard freeway in Michigan has 70 mph maximum, 45 mph minimum.

I am not sure that would be th case in rural areas.

So when he runs in the next election he will run as "Your Lawrence County Sherrif" and strategically avoid "re-elect" in his campaign, like my local sherriff (who I hope gets ousted in the election tomorrow, but I am not holding my breath, for some reason lots of people around here like our arrogant county exec, who I refer to as "the king" since he essentially came to power through taking his fathers postion, and he supports the Sherriff, oh well, I can hope for change)

Max: I said no one else reads the Daily Planet. Those others just buy it to look at the pictures. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Clark: Hmm, maybe we should cover more Smallville news in the DP, so we get even more Smallville readers.

Lois: You do that Chuck, and leave the Superman in Metropolis stories to me.

Lois: I don't. I am sure it is because he stole someone else's identity and has not worked out his full cover story.

- Responce to Micahel's FDK cont. -

HANK: I never would have done such a thing.

YOUNG WALT:

She didn't really know him. He was popular (why? a mystery of life) and he asked her.

HANK: It wasn't soooo bad.

RACHEL:

LANA: I've had better.

RACHEL:

LANA:

RACHEL:



WALT: What? Did I do something wrong?

Maybe around Lawrence and the other outlying towns.

Well, this was the mid-80s and there was a movie back in the early 80s with Burt Reynolds called “Paternity” (I think I was one of the only people who actually saw this movie), so I’m going to guess “yes”. Although, if you watch the “Tudors” paternity is determined on how much your child is a healthy boy.

WALT: Sounds good to me.

HANK: I’m being polite.

Because even though in his mind he’s old fashioned he lives with a modern woman who hates to be called “Mrs.”

HANK: I don’t know what you’re talking about. Aren’t all beautiful women like this?

THOMAS: Smallville Market?

Thanks. He was supposed to. (And does again now). When I was writing ML, I almost posted a part from Jimmy’s point of view where he referred to Clark as “Clark” instead of CK. Believe it not, I do make mistakes.

MARTHA: No! Not ‘Ironic’ in the least.
CLARK: I’m going to have to side with my new-dimensional mom on this one.
EW: Great idea! <Although, I believe I’ve tortured Jonathan enough already>
CLARK: So you’re saying, since I’m not wearing the suit, I don’t *have* to follow Superman’s credo?

MARTHA: They’re on order for Christmas.

CLARK: Just rub it in, why don’t you?

TRASK: <taking notes> Really?

Um… no, they just met that afternoon.

LOIS: Always mad! Anyway, “Chuck” is an acceptible uncover alias, right?

PERRY:

- Responce to Micahel's FDK cont. -



That’s so clever! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, I’ve found yet another way to torture Clark.

I knew I had heard that line somewhere else before. On the other hand, what a convenient way to get rid of Trask.

Oh? Is that Lois’s problem?

No super strength.

Oh, dear. Now Clark will expose himself to Kryptonite to go beat up annoying people like Ralph.

Some give away that Clark is stronger than Max?

LOIS: Fine! He’s wanted for “questioning” in the death of George Thompson.

MAX: Yeah, I’ve had days like that.

For wanting to bring Trask in? Oh, dear.

MAX: Sorry, I put on my hat and you couldn’t see my face while I was kissing Colonal Trask’s boots.



Don’t cliffies feel better when the next part isn’t right there to read and have a chance to age?

What? What?! I didn’t see any rambling in your FDK.



Not me. Beta’s keep knocking on my Inbox about Part 66.

Because you’re planning on getting behind again? Where’s the fun in that?

You mean when her report card arrives at the end of the semester?



It was either that or Nascar. And Lois found the latter one boring. Plus, she needed to sharpen her people skills by interrogating her passengers. Even caught a corporate spy and two drug mules that way.

Thank you. I thought so.

No, I think it was from the steering wheel actually.

What? I’m not the one who got sold for 1500 bucks to a billionaire for a night of unbridled passion.

.5 caliber?

Lex?

No, I think you could do it with one person, too. It’s just more entertaining if there’s more people involved.

Oh, Jimmy…

/watches as Darlene switches tapes/

The sheriff, the preacher, and the judge are standing in a cornfield…





OLD HANK: Maybe I can get a divorce, keep Barbie and the rest and marry that Lucy girl…

LANA:
CLARK:
LANA: So, that’s why you’re sleeping on the couch?
LOIS: Did she just call me a hooker?

HANK: You mind if I go watch a bit?

Oh boy.

Michael

Am I allowed a "Duh" here?

Maybe not officially.

Pretty much.

JOAN (from Smallville Mkt): As long as they buy the paper, I don't care what they do with it.

Sounds like something straight out of S1.

CLARK:

Currently she's performing at "above her grade level" so I'm not too worried.

Too slow?



LOIS: Jealous, huh?

TRASK: Sometimes we use 9mm.

LOIS: Michael.

DARLENE: Hey, I've got to send my kids through college somehow.

MAX: What are you saying? That we're all part of some elaborate drinking game?

LUCY: I'll pass. I'd rather not be a nanny-wife.

EW: There's more!

RACHEL: Fine by me, I'm walking home.

WALT: Hank, trying to learn something? <shoos him away> I told you to watch my date, not yours.

Thomas's and Clark's opinions aside, I don't think Rachel was considered in the same catagory as a "Lana" or a "Lois".

Thank you. That was kind of you.

LOIS: Wait! I don't get to sleep with Superman?

CLARK: I think I can arrange that sometime, if you never forgive me for lying.

CLARK: And to think I told the EW you should be allowed a RL.

LOIS: <scoots skirt up thigh> Claaaaark, can you type up this story for me? <<bats eyelashes>>

CLARK: Sure.

JIMMY: I can type.

RALPH: I can fake it.

LOIS: :rolleyes:

Oooooh. Something shiney.

That's still on my 2BRead list. It must be a good one, because many people mention it.

<Nine Months Later> LOIS: <very round in tummy> Nobody warned me that there was side-effects to this stuff.

LOIS: Thanks, Perry, but this wasn't an article, this was my trying to get the sheriff to arrest Trask. Circumstancial evidence or not.

Yes, well it is close. At one point in the discussion of ging to Smallville to cover what was going on at the Irig famr, Lois tells Clark to go and leave him back in Metropolis so she can get Superman stories.

Michael

I forgot about that.

LOIS:

CLARK:
