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

I hope it was worth the extra long wait.

Please post your thoughts, ideas, character curses*, etc. here. Thank you.

***

NEW POSTING SCHEDULE: I will post the story twice a week for the foreseeable future. On Saturday nights (or early Sunday, depending on your time zone), and Tuesday nights (early Wednesday morning). The posting parts will still range between 15-20 double spaced pages (although they've been more between 20-24 during this Smallville arc :rolleyes: ). This will slow down a bit from the old every 3 days schedule. Let's hope I don't have to slow it down even further. I should be able to devote more time to writing by the end of this coming week, as my RL will return to what it was two weeks ago. Again, thank you for being paitent with me.

*And "no" Tempus, I'm not talking about you.

LOIS: That *stupid* moron. Who does he think he is? Superman?

LOIS: Clark! Clarkie-bear! and

Oh boy.

But it had been Trask’s gun that had exploded twice. Or did it literally explode?

Ooooo-kay.

He was a psychopathic killer. Hmm…

Couldn’t he delegate that to Darlene?

He’s gonna get himself shot.

Nah, I’d expect her to run for Sheriff.

Got his uniforms in my secret compartment back home.

TEMPUS: I believed him, too. And I’m not in the Kansas State Asylum because I’m nuts.

:rolleyes: Of course, she’s mad. She’s just also good at compartmentalization.

CLARK:

Mudbrown. The Way-way-before.



Exactly, he already got a double for that one.

Wise choice.

He’s his duplicate’s son, one dimension removed.

Kinda.

Back home.

Soviets. Probably. It was a trick question to weasel out whether he’s a commie.

Is Jimmy just dreaming?

OOooh! tranq-gun, for when Ferdinand gets loose.





Wouldn’t it have been fun had the bull been able to car-dip the SUV?

CLARK: Lois, I’m Superman.
LOIS:
CLARK: And I’m from another dimension.
LOIS:

She’s sooooo *cute*

L.O.V.E.

Also, 1500 is quite a nice price for a novice hooker who’s not a virgin, too.

:rolleyes:

/points at surveillance equipment/



Batman?

See? That’s how Clark feels about you every single second of every single day.

What Clark hears: They put a chip into each of our brains and when one dies, the other one will die of an incredibly painful aneurism.

Uh-oh. /gets a weird feeling/




Is that like checking the water level?

Ooooooh!

Michael

Hi Virginia,

READERS: It's Clark, Lois. He wants to protect everybody, specially you, even without his powers...

LOIS: Powers? Only Superman has powers! And Trask is wrong; Chuck is not Superman! I know that.

READERS: Well....

LOIS: You could say that, Chuck...It's an understatement!

She's right, Clark. You're an adorable lunkhead, but you're a lunkhead!

LOIS: I'm always right!

Naughty Clark?

Naughty Clark!

We don't believe you, Clark!

Martha is a genius!

Still here, still reading, still LOVING it!
Sorry I've been away so long, classes have been crazy.


Oh, poor Clark. Not used to feeling pain
Can someone gag the sheriff? He needs to stop talking. He's so annoying.
Hmmm... not as apart as you may think
Nice save.
Oh no, how long are they going to keep him out there?
Eww. But good plan

hehehe


That's not the FBI! It's probably Bureau 39!

He's going to be asleep...
Think of it as practice. Now you know what you want and don't want to say.

Will this remind her of another human shield?

Clark: she wants me to live.

PR: Don't cry Lois, mere bullets can't kill Superman.

NR:They can when he has been infected by Kryptonite.

PR:Well, hopefully he has been removed from exposure long enough.

Clark is alive.

she thinks Trask's claim is ludicrous.

NR: Hah, hah, no one will believe you are SM.

PR: Well, at least Jimmy, Hank, Max and Thomas won;t be in on the secret as well.

Clark: Well, OK I guess it might be good that not everyone knows. still, why does Lois have to find it ludicrous that I am SM.

Of course, who besides Superman would itch at their mosquito bites so much when they grew up on a farm.

Lois: More proof that Chuck lied. He obviously did not grow up on a farm.

Clark: Then how do I know so much about Smallville politicis?

Lois: Something is missing. I will tell you when I figure out.

Clark: This is the real reason why SM can't go on a date with Lois. If he did and she him just after eating chocolate and he gagged, than that would just be bad.

Clark: I like this. Well, if you say so.

NR: Joke reveals don't count, you have not yet said enough to properly pass the intimacy threshold.

Clark: I know. This was not a than I can just put it off more.

PR: So what is your real point.

Clark: To speak the truth as often as possible. Now when Lois goes all crazy when she finally really figures out, I can say "but, wonderful one, I did tell you that I did better at not dieing on most days than the day Trask shot me. You just did not give me time to put in 'usually the bullets just bounce off me'."

Lois: Like I would have believed it, even if you said it.

Clark: See, being more truthful would have not helped.

Lois: I am still angry at you for lieing to me.

Clark: See, I have to wait to implement the plan. Soft truths, soft truths.

Clark: It is a friendly slug.

Lois: You won't say that after a few more.

Lois: Hah, I was right.

Clark: You only slugged me once.

Lois: So clearly you would not say "friendly slug" after a second one.

Clark: I still figured a way to get her to touch me more. She is still touching me.

Clark: I never got injured this badly in football.

NR: What about when someone threw you the glowing green ball.

Clark: No glowing green balls in football.

Lois: Stop trying to pretend I don't know about sports. Is it an old tennis injury?

Clark: Why would I get injured in tennis if I don't get injured in football.

Lois: I got injured in tennis, I never got injured at a football game.

Clark: You never played in the football games, you were playing in the tennis games.

Lois: Hey, my uncle Mike got injured while a spectator at a soccer game in Italy. Anyway, tennis palls can be green, I think I once saw a glowing green one.

Clark: If we ever play tennis, no green balls on the court please.

Clark, let her give you hands-on treatment as long as she wants to.

Clark: She is hugging me.

PR: This is my favorite part of the story in a long time.

NR: Yes, I think I will leave.

PR:

NR: Nah, I will stick around some more. A lunkhead like Clark will figure out some way to mess things up.

Clark:

PR: So now he is a fake Clark. At least she did not call it "the right Clark's grave". for small victories.

NR: What is with you and small victories. There is no need to celebrate small victories in this part.

PR: I still will.

Clark:

Reader: Yes, if Lois thinks she is too attracked to Clark, why is she getting closer to him while feeling overdone by it?

Clark: because she really likes me.

Clark: That is OK. I will just read her thoughts from body to body contact.

I did not know adrenaline caused attraction.

Lois is learning to trust without knowing everything. This is a major victory.

She is touching me.

Probably Marthan and Jonathan's votes as well. And the Irigs. And he probably could get lots of backing for his campaign fund from Mr. Lang. Hmm, I think Max will have a tough run for his money, even if the election is in a month. But since most elections are in even years, Hank probably has over a year to oust Max.

Thomas: I hope not. I don't think we can survive another year of Max's cruel rule.

This is the key question.

This is true, from a certain point of view. The only problem is that Trask did not believe just on Clark's words.

The EW seems to want to drive home the fact that all of us who thought Clark could fix his problem by telling Lois the truth were wrong.

Of course, if Clark had told Lois "but Lois, it is the truth, I am Superman", she might keep that in her mind for future reference.

But Thomas and Jimmy are not obsessed with Lois. And the similarities is Clark and SM's apparance go beyond that. I guess it just goes to show that people only see what they want to.

Clark: Because I told someone else the truth before I told you.

Nice save Clark, you avoided going through with the w word. You were on very thin ice nearly telling Lois that.

Clark: I got Lois to smile.

Clark: Lois, you don't get it.

Clark: Well, I am about to have my cover blown.

Jonathan has given Clark a workable cover.

Now the question is, what will Lois do with this knowledge?

Well, this will work for Hank, Thomas, Max and other locals. However I don't think it will answer Lois' questions at all.

Lois: Nope, it does not add up.

Jimmy: I believe it. It makes total sense.

So why won't Lois believe it? I have a few ideas.

The one that is sure is that Lois won't believe it. If this was true, than why did Clark make up that he was her husband? Why did he use the fake name with Jonathan and Martha?

If it were true, she might accept Clark is a common name in the Kent clan, and give up believing Clark stole the other Clark's identity. However, it just does not work well with Clark claiming to be her husband.

I guess it is good Clark stuck with his real name. Hopefully Max does not do a deep search on Clark's driver's license.

I was just getting into the document collecting groove.

So Clark is just plain tuckered out.

Clark: I am way beyond that point.



Clark: Not like that.

Reader: What do you mean "not like that"

Clark: Well, at least not like that now, I don;t have the energy for that.

Reader: So you really do want to share her bed like that.

Clark: I plead the fifthed.

Reader: Hahd, I knew I was right.

Reader: Likely story.

Clark: I don't have the energy for anything else.

Reader: What about in the morning.

Clark:

He just needs to stay in the sun the rest of the day, then he will have the energy.

NR: I doubt it. Not enough day left.

Lois: Not going to happen until he tells the truth.

Clark: Are you sure?

Lois: Lois warmth.

Reader: What was that about just sleeping. Yeah right.

Hmm, without his superhearing this will require his ear being in very close proximity to her heart. This will require in turn very close proximity of his ear to her jest. "Just sleep" my right foot.

Likely story. He just wants her close, very close.

Never say never Clark.

Thus he should get up and go over by her.

Reader: she has embraced you and shown almost no anger at you. So far we have made five steps forward and zero back. Clark and Lois are still on good terms. Better do before things fall apart again.

Martha: You want me to lie to my husband. Clark, someone needs to lie for you, you are horrible at it.

Clark: I have a family.

Lots happening here!

I love the way Clark explains his way out of this one:

Love to see Jimmy getting some action!

C'mon Lois, the clues are all there. Figure it out.

I thought Ferdinand was from the kid's book!

Joan

When Clark went to this dimension he thought there was no Clark Kent (it was what Wells told him). Now he knows that there's a dead Clark Kent. What does he think about it?

Andreia

Why is she still calling him Jerome when he told everyone he was Clark?

Lois: Then why doesn't he.

Clark: Well you are still mad at me.

Lois: I would let you kiss me.

No, I think she definantly will let him kiss her.

Martha is trying to hook Clark and Lois up. Hopefully Clark will be smart enough to listen to her suggestions.

Hmm, Clark is still too reluctant to follow his dreams.

Mother discipline to put Clark in line. Things are going to be much better for him now.

Clark: I have to stop looking at Lois. No fun.

Better not. Lois learning the truth is one thing, the whole world learning the truth just cannot be.

Clark: No, but now I think that was Lois' intention.

Martha: Lois desgined your uniform?

Clark: Not this Lois. A Lois from a different universe.

Martha:

Especially since this Martha is mainly the same as the other Martha, minus most of the interaction with Clark. Hmm, that only means they started the same, they may have developed differently at some points.

Well, at least this way Jimmy will not be yelled at for not getting enough pictures, at least we hope he won't be yelled at for this.

Will she be as suspicious if Clark develops temporary amnesia after Superman vanishes on an encounter with an asteriod.

Quite possibly yes. Hopefully they will get the deep good on Bureau 39.

Trask would clearly have assumed hostility on the part of all visitors.

At least the Kent's have gotten control of all known glowing-green rock.

Clark: I think we have managed to avoid even hinting to Lois that there is something that can hurt Superman. We can only hope she does not mention in the final report that something could hurt Superman. That would be most distressing.

Clark: I like the sound of this, our rental.

Lois: I am still waiting for the full truth.

Clark: It was an "adrenaline rush". I think that works.

Clark: Well, you will not get details of the "adrenaline rush" there.

Jimmy's photos will be published.

The men in black to make sure any knowledge of UFOs is denied?

These may be useful later on.

Who called in the feds?

On what grounds? hasn't the government distanced itself from Bureau 39. The crimes here were all in one jurisdiction, no federal case that I can see.

Oh no, is this Bureau 39 trying to remove evidence?

Sounds like a Bureau 39 rescue and hide operation to me.

Why doen't Martha shot the lot of them and wait for real authorities to show up. I am thinking they may have some very interesting things in those vans, like maybe Superman's ship. Oh for missed opportunities.

Very bad timing on their part. They missed thje chance to get more evidence.

Lois and Clark have had a very busy day.

A setting that he is already inclined to sleep in.

Clark: I am in bed too.

Probably a smart move. It is not like she will believe him if he tells her the truth. Not while he is still not Super at least.

His presence distracts her so much that she is not even checking to see if he is awake.

Clark: You say this now. I don't believe you will have that much control when I tell you. I also don;t think you will believe me.

Well at least Lois realizes that she cannot uncover the truth.

Lois admits to herself that Lex treated her like a prostitute. No "to protect me" moderators. She is seeing the truth. Why ever Clark is not responding, it is the best reasoned out move possible.

Sorry to cut the FDK in such odd ways, but I keep on running out of smilies.

Lois does not like Lex.

Now we can only hope that Clark "Lunkhead" Kent does not mess things up to the point where Lois turns to Lex.

Lois loves Clark.

Lois: I did not say that.

PR: You implied it. That is the only way to interpret what you said.

Very clearly yes.

Only in the sense of not using the l-word. For all intents and purposes she has told him she loves him.

But she just thought the l-word.

Because in some ways he has only been fragile and vulnerable in Smallville.

Clark: Starting to ramble. You have been rambling a lot.

Lois: Well, you have been saying nothing.

Clark: Anything I say will make things worse.

Lois is touching Clark. it has taken her less than half a day to accept that he really is Clark. Even if she knows something is off, she is not going to refuse him his name.

All of 12 hours ago. I am somewhat surprised she is making this much progress. Still two-near death experiences probably mad it hard to hold a grudge.

Actually the bigger issue is can she actually get him to wake at all?

for more touching.

Are we going to get some She kissed him

Clark will probably think this is just a dream.


Yep, being mad at him is not going to last.

Hmm, well she could at least try.

Lois and Clark both want to sleep together.

See, I said that Clark wanted to do more than "just sleep".

He will sleep much better with you there Lois.

Lois does not want to leave Clark, ever.

They were much closer than I thought.

Showing that that is what she really wants.

Yep, "just sleeping" is never happening.

He was in more danger than she thought.

She really does like Clark.

This fact alone will keep this from possibly helping her realize CK=SM.

Lois: SM can't be shot. Of course CK is not SM.

Well, he has been visiting here quite a bit. I guess the real reason, that Martha is for all intents and purposes his mom, is something that Lois has no reason to suspect.

Intriguing. She no longer tells herself it is impossible to love CK more than SM. She just says she cannot totally stop loving SM. She is making lots and lots of progress.

He definantly is not making it easy for her to totally stop loving SM. I am not sure he wants to see what would happen if she really stopped loving SM. That would make the SM=CK reveal much more awkward.

Good thing she did not see it at first. Otherwise she might think SM=CK. Well, at least have a hint planted in her brain. Oh wait, maybe that would not be a bad thing.

Clark: This is a good development.

Another kiss. Lots more connection between Lois and Clark than actually seen in GGGoH.

NR: That is why this is so much longer than GGGoH.

PR: We like long. This is so much fun.

NR: She still wants to sleep with Clark.

Actually, I don't think Clark yet knows there is a dead Clark Kent. Martha did not tell him they named the dead child, and Lois has not told him about the grave.

Michael: Why look! You're the first one in this time. Once again, thank you for your funny and in-depth FDK!

CLARK: Well, actually...

LOIS: <Holding up her hand> Don't even think about going there.

LOIS: I knew that! I was just testing you.

CLARK: <rubbing jaw> Then why did you slug me?

LOIS: Because you deserved it.

Well, maybe, perhaps, just a little bit.

Afraid she might find him dead.





The scene had been from Clark’s POV. He turned to push Lois away, and assumed that both shots had come from Trask’s gun.

Probably best not to make that comparison.

DARLENE: If I have to fill out that paperwork, I’ll willingly go back to slinging hash for Maisie.
MAX: Anyway, she might fill it out wrong. (i.e. correctly)

That would be a lot of witnesses for Max to shoot to keep it under wraps.

This is assuming that Lois would ever live in Smallville willingly.

That explains why Clark thinks he’s Superman, but it doesn’t explains Trask’s assumption.

- Responce to Michael's FDK - Cont.

HERB: Tempus, you believed him because you’ve know about it since you were in diapers.

Just give her a minute or two for her to recover from Clark almost being shot.

LOIS: Exactly!

For some reason, I don’t think anyone is going to confuse Clark the 31 year old with Clark the 3 month old.



True, but Jonathan doesn’t know that though.

CLARK: Yep, issued to me personally by President Pressley.
MAX: You’re under arrest for being certifiable.
LOIS: Okay, I don’t have any argument this time. You’re right, Sheriff.
MAX: Hey, you available, beautiful.
LOIS: Sure, when the world ends and no other men (or women) exist, give me a call.

At first, I thought you meant in Metropolis, and I was going to say, he didn’t bring it with him. But then I realized you meant LITERALLY. So,

- Response to Michael's FDK - Cont.

Yeah, that was the woman he was talking about.

CLARK: <laughing> Like I would have heard anything I didn’t want to hear. They were like in their 40s.

MARTHA: <looks at him with pity> Oh, honey. It happens.

JONATHAN: More often than you probably knew about.

CLARK: Time for another plot twist.

JIMMY: Uncle Jack! Uncle Jack! What are you doing in Smallville?

B39. I figured Jimmy deserved a little bonus for being locked in the back of the sheriff’s car for so long.
JIMMY: Smooth!



I don’t think trank guns explode like regular bullet guns do, do they?
He probably could, but I’m ready to start moving forward with this story again.

CLARK: So, you're mad?

CLARK: If I were awake, I’d agree with you.

CLARK: I’ll accept that answer.
LOIS: Lois Obvious Violence Equation.
CLARK: Oh. Never mind.

LOIS: Well, I’m *like* a virgin.

LOIS: We’ve been over this. There was no reason for Lex to put cameras up in my apartment.
CLARK: :rolleyes:

LOIS: Who knows? I haven’t met him yet. It isn’t worth traveling to Gotham City in hopes of being rescued.



Exactly and I’ve already promised Tank I wouldn’t get this Lois pregnant during this course of Wrong Clark.

“pouch”?

Also, Clark DID get to sleep with Lois and cuddle with her somewhat. <<ducking>>

Hi, Sydney

LOIS: Is everyone going crazy?





CLARK: After the day I've had, I can't dream of a little cuddling?

CLARK: I said "share" her bed, not bed her. Um... er... that does sound bad. Sorry.

CLARK: Nobody ever believes me.

MARTHA: Thank you.

MARTHA: I've had one of those days where I don't want to deal with stupid men anymore. Shooting them felt darn good.

LOIS: I never said he wasn't adorable.

Wow, nobody likes my Clarkie bear metaphor.

CLARKIE-BEAR: I'm a one and only!



Well, technically, the night isn't over yet.

X Phile: You're still here!

I completely understand. RL makes it difficult to FDK other peoples stories as I'd like to either.



MAX: Gag me! Gag me! Haven't you ever heard of the Freedom of Speech?! Arrest that Commenter!

JIMMY: I hear my cousin Jimbo is only 97% off from Superman.

LOIS: I think that's 3% off.

CLARK: I like Jimmy's numbers better.

JIMMY: Nah, I'm 3% off, Jimbo's 97% off.

JONATHAN: Thank you. Could you put in a good word with the Mrs. though? I'm sure I'd be sleeping on the couch, if it wasn't already occupied.

CLARK: I'm TRYING to find other accomidations.

LOIS: Keep trying, buster.

Til they get back to the county jail?

I once heard that if you want to get rid of old prescription medicine you should toss it in the discarded kitty litter and NOBODY will use it. Even druggies have their limits.

They do have an M.O.

CLARK: I had a LONG day! Geez! How was I supposed to know Lois was going to pour out her heart at me and give me kisses?

Joan: I've got to have lots happening. It my excuse for a long story.

Yes, but he IS Superman. He was trying to tell her, only she didn't believe him.

CLARK:

JIMMY: I got action? Where? When? With whom? Darlene? No, she's Maisie's age, but I'm game... Oh! You mean a story. Yeah, that was smooooooooth.

Not yet. Sorry.

LOIS: What? I'm missing something?

John: at John's to celebrate Lois NOT killing Clark at first sight!

Andreia: Thanks for the question.

John's right to some degree.

When Clark came to this dimension Herb Wells told him that baby Kal-El died before he was found by the Kents. This was true. What Clark learned while in Smallville was that there was Kryponite in the space cradle, and he'd like to address this development himself. Clark?

CLARK: I've had a hard couple of days. I haven't had a chance to wrap my mind around that information yet.

Emphasis on "yet". I haven't forgotten.

Well you did have parents right, Clark. We are not implying there are any left. Although, considering this is a break-off of canon-universe, it would seem there should be some NKers somewhere.

But they wern't sleeping together, because Lois was not asleep. Oh wait, that is not what "sleeping together" means. Hmm.

Yeah. Sunday, before people are really done with their Sunday morning coffee and it’s already afternoon over here…

You’re very welcome



And yet, she still allowed him a kiss.

Also, limited time offer only.

But we don’t talk about them much.

Keeps him warm?

It’s fun pointing them out and more fun being correct about said pointer.









That’s what a American knock-off of the AK-47 in his trunk is for.

If she grew up there, got knocked up at 16 by that Kent boy who lives with that foster family all the way down Main…



TEMPUS: Oh, will you just shut up?

No, the double from the impersonation-agency in uh..Season Two?

RALPH: Oooooooooh!
LEX: Finishes with remaining woman and kills her before shooting Ralph. So, where were we?



Smallville ad board: “Adult diapers. Keep you safe even in a stressful job.” And above, a sheriff’s star is displayed.

ER2LOIS: They now how blue pills for that.

Awww… /watches as Clark picks out polka-dot dress and pump-boots.

Too much bitching from the little birdie?

/noticed/





Jep. She’s the only one allowed to hurt him.

Awww… /recommends Roadtrecking by MLT on the dark side/



Michael

The promise to Tank only says no babies during Wrong Clark. I would interpret that to mean Lois can get pregnant, we just can't go far enough in time to include her giving birth.

John: Finally! I'm catching up. I don't know if I'll be able to get to all the FDK from 58 tonight, but we'll see. I'd still like to work a bit on 67 tonight. <

CLARK: Hmmm. I think this John guy has some sage advice.



Hence his dead stare while she was doing it.



And everyone thought he was the good guy.

LOIS: Not hard enough.

They have a very touchy feely relationship.

- Responce to John's FDK - Cont.

What a great line! I don't want to be married to someone in law enforcement, vigelante or not!

-- Response to John’s FDK – Cont.

Um... that's how they introduced themselves at the corn fest earlier.

Ghost of TRASK: No comment? Of course I wanted to kill him! He's an invader from another planet!

Even years, when there isn't a vacancy in the seat and an interum election isn't needed to fill the seat. Just because Max took over the job, doesn't mean he's more than a temporary place holder.



CLARK: But she's standing over there in the shade. It's sunny where I am, and that would take more effort than I have at the moment.

I though Ralph was a human punching bad at best. Would he ever willingly protect anyone?

Clark: I don't see her living up to that in this segment. Lois is being much to nice for me to believe she wants to kill me.

So Trask just had bad aim?

Now the question is, will Clark formulate an actual plan, or will he just let Lois keep pushing for more information until he has no choices but to tell her the full truth.

Thus it would be really fun if Lois figured out the truth at a point when Clark is suffering from Kryptonite poisoning.

Lois: (slapping Clark) Don;t pretend that did not hurt, Superman.

Clark:But it did. It hurt a lot.

Lois: What ever, you big fat liar.

Clark: I am telling the truth, I got poined by a glowing-green rock just a bit ago and totally lack my invernability and other powers.

Lana, Hank's already in law enforcement working as a jail guard. You have failed in your attempt to not be connected with law enforcement.

- Response to John's FDK - (cont.)

Or it's just an optical illusion.

He doesn't know that.

He's also had a long couple of days without super stamina.

Oh, dear, am I getting predictable again?

See, the Smallville arc did have SOME good things come out of it.
This will be explained coming up in 60.

CLARK: And then you'd probably slug me for doing it. Better safe than bruised.

Sometimes it's the not knowing which scares him the most.

Why not? Even Superman deserves some happyness in his private life.

LOIS: Yeah, right. I'll believe it when I see it.

He DID come to this dimension.

Maybe not 'fully', but she'll take what she can get.

CLARK: That's good to hear.

Why it's amazing that Clark isn't on the waiting list for the Luthor House for the Mentally Unstable.

Believe it or not, we are influenced a bit by our children.

PERRY: <yelling> Who's been telling the readers I yell? Olsen? Lane? Kent? No, Kent wouldn't say something like that. Ralph! I knew I should never have hired you.



Nobody ever gets the deep goods on covert operations like B39. That's what makes them so scary.



Although without mentioning K, Trask's trip to Smallville makes no sense. By mentioning K in the article, she's trying to make sense of Trask's reasoning.

Another blind man who would not see.



Let's hope they aren't out of focus this time.

Sorry, no crossovers.

JIMMY: I hoping they'll save my butt with Perry.

Um... nobody.

Death of a federal employee.

It's what they do best.



Because the K is still on the property and she doesn't want it found as part of the Crime Scene. The last time they captured a B39 Agent, he escaped (Trask) and made things worse.

Or is it a good thing? Sheriff Max might have started a shoot-out with these feds who tasered his deputy before asking questions. Someone else could have gotten hurt.

Clark: Maybe that is why Lana got so mad. No, wait, I told Lana the truth what was it, seven years before the world learned? Hmm, no that does not explain Lana.

Which is why I decided that Martha here and in canon started the same. They have had 27+ years to diverge. Jonathan's accident has lead to obvious divergences is what they do. How they feel and interact with others have diverged in more subtle and thus unpredictable ways.

-- Response to John's FDK -- cont.

CLARK: Tell me about it. AND she wants me to stay awake so that she can yell at me. No, thanks.



LOIS: I am *not* a reader.

Well, at least she won't have to relive this moment during TOGOM, right?

That's what I thought during TOGOM. He fell asleep during the writing section of the evening, not the talking section.

This explains why you weren't feeling well when FDKing 58. All these pre-heart-attack feelings.

LOIS: I didn't admit it ALOUD!

-Response to John’s FDK – cont.

All of back when Lex told her Clark Kent didn't exist.

My guess is, that if she continued to kiss him, Clark would've woken up at some point.

One sided? Yes.

He's asleep. Everyone is much easier to deal with when they're asleep. Ask any parent.

CLARK: And a very nice dream at that!

It's hard to stay mad at someone who jumped between you and bullet.

I believe a part of her is afraid that if she tries, he'll wake up and things will progress without her learning what she wants to learn before things progress.

My, has the world gone crazy or what?!

Lois is more of a realist than Clark.

Will he?

He is very cozy.

While they were sitting side by side, he leaned against her, which with his body weight could feel like she was "under" him.

LOIS: I haven't denied that I want Clark in months.

CLARK: It *could* happen.

LOIS: Doubtful.

CLARK: Really?

EW: Not really.

LnC: What about my vengence? <Just joking, I told her to love him.>

I already did a reveal like that.

CLARK: The perfect disguise!

EW: on the rest.

CLARK: My sentaments exactly! Wait?! Lois wants to sleep with me and I SLEPT through it?

I already did a Lois getting pregnant epic. This is not one. Moreover, I wouldn't stop a story in the middle of a pregnancy.

Strangely enough, when I finish my coffee, it's afternoon here too.

LOIS: <shrugging> So, he's a good kisser.

to slug him and have it hurt?

CLARK: Let's not talk about them "ever".

Indian Summer in Kansas?

On that subject, I VERY rarely make any references to Dune.

(REAL) FBI: And explain to me again, Sheriff, how over ten people died on this farm, including your deputy, and it still fell under "self-defense"?

Nope, that's someone else's Epic.

HERB: No.

Oh, right. that guy from TOGOM.

LOIS: HIM! Not you guys. And, therefore, the offer is null and void. Sorry. I'd rather die a nun.

MAX: Darlene, I told those ad people to change the billboard behind which I do my speed traps. I haven't caught anybody but a couple of people laughing their heads off all month.

DARLENE: <<whistling innocently>> Right. On it, sir.

So, you're saying that he doesn't have to be involved? Lois can just use his body?

CLARK: I can live with that, once.

LOIS: Well, that doesn't seem very sporting.

CLARK: I make this look *good*!

LEX: Don't they?

LOIS: He's *my* punching bag! Thank you very much!

Distraction!

Poor Clark. What a way to find out one's parents are literally human.

CLARK: Oh, no. Superman wouldn't let Luthor die. He needs to have a trial.

Oh, was that THIS truck?

JIMMY: No! I swear, I had the goods on B39. Really, I did.

PERRY: Sure, son. Sure. How's that soda coming?

I like the juxaposition of Martha telling Jonathan earlier that they wouldn't shoot at people and then turning around and doing it herself.

CLARK: / whispers/ but by then, she won't need me /

LOIS: No woman is frigid if a man supplies enough body heat, you cold fish!

LOIS: Well, then again, Superman did *dump* me.

Oh?

LOIS: I'll get a good night sleep and recharge my "mad" for the morning.

LEX: What do you mean "Superman"?

LOIS: You're right. You are *no* Superman. Tootles. I finish this up myself. <picks up phone> Hello? Clark. I've changed my mind. I do want you. How soon can you get your buns of...

SUPERMAN: <flies through window, picks up Lex, drops him out said window>

LOIS: Clark? Clark? <<hangs up phone>> That was odd. Superman, what are you doing here?

SUPERMAN: You called.

LOIS: It's okay. I've called Clark.

SUPERMAN: About that...

LOIS: But I've got Clark?

CLARK: <hesitantly raises his hand>

/starts counting his cash/

I certainly hope Clark tells her the truth before TOGOM. Unless, of course, Dr. Hamilton clones the gansters for Lex (I know Lex was not involved in TOGOM, but if it had been in season 1 he would have been) earlier, but hopefully even then she won't have to relive anything like this.

FBI: Uh-huh, likely story. Book him.

MAX: Oh, no! Your brain has been taken over by aliens as well!

Funny thing about the word 'nunnery' is that Hollywood must be behind on this definition, because after you guys told me it was a Shakespearian way of saying Brothels, I was watching the "Tudors". King Henry and Anne were having a discussion about sending his first wife Catherine (or was it his daughter Mary) to a nunnery. I can't imagine him seriously considering sending either of those two to a brothel (Anne, yes, but not Henry).

No, but none of them ended up with a warning.

LOIS: Thankfully, we're not working together any more.

CLARK: Lois? Frigid? Lois? <<shakes head>> He must mean someone else.

LOIS:

Hmmmmmmmm. Interesting suggestions. Hmmmmmmm.

Actually this 100% works. The equation of nunnery with brothel is a post-reformation thing. Henry VIII was a good Catholic until his dieing day, even if he declared himself superior to the pope and all, he never could stomach letting priests marry and probably rolled over in his grave when Edward VI allowed such. So Henry VIII would never use nunnery to mean "brothel", but by the time of Shakespear they had rejected Catholicism, fully embraced the Reformation, and would speak of Catholic things with full derision.

Likewise Henry VIII may have allowed his agents to pillage Catholic institutions in England, but he passed severe laws to punish those who broke the vows of chastity to enter orders. He would never have spoken ill of the institutions of the Church. Henry VIII is not shakespearing, and would have had no truck with using "nunnery" for anything other than the literal meaning.

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what was up. I knew he would never send Catherine or Mary to a brothel (even if he himself might use such services -- or at least how he's portrayed in the show). Ahhhh. Linguistics, how language changes over time.

Quick! Get the gun!

Yeah. Aside from John’s response I also dug around the Inet: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Could_a_nunnery_also_refer_to_a_brothel_in_the_time_of_Shakespeare
I guess it’s really just a very small slice of time this was truly popular. But it’s fun to dig out when it fits. Also, Ralph, the well-read shakespearen Michael

Um... Trask already took away Max's gun.

MAX: Sheriff HARRIS! S-H-E-R-I-F-F. Why is this so difficult?

MARTHA: Because you are so bad at it.

You guys teach me the most interesting things!

Dumb reader over here. Ugh Ugh.
ER2EW: You think he’ll believe that?

No teasing the guy with the gun. He might go all tree on you.

Michael

Yeah, but only because he's not as smart as you.

Above Max's skill level.
