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

This part is dedicated to all of you who wanted to see Lois and Clark embracing in the shower.

Comments and tomato sauce always welcome.


<<Side Note: I have now completed as many parts as "Missing Lois" was and still no end within the next ten parts. My apologies to any of you who thought this would be a nice short story, like "Another Dimension, Another Time, and Another Lois" was.>>

Shouldn't he be glad to see Lois. I guess since he does not know that she knows The Secret TM, it makes sense he is hesitant.

I like the reaccurance of another officer. The two Henderson's could not be everyone.

Did they ever even tell Kolson that man was not a felon?

I have to like your story now just for adding in Indian characters. On the show we almost saw Dr. Banerjee, but he got kidnapped so we never dealt with him. I geuss there was Asabi, but more Indian characters are always appreciated.

Would it technically count if Superman did so. He is not an officer of the law.

Really I donot think it would count.

Technically the robber being back on the street in 24-hours is more likely to be related to bail than reading his rights.

You need to be more careful with convicted felons.

Lois and Clark are talking to eachother this part. It counts since Lois knows, even though Clark does not know that lois knows.

For some reason her "oh, this won't work" line from The Phoenix is coming to mind.

Lois:Must remember no kissing him. Oh wait, I can't kiss him as Clark eaither. I really hope I get the goods on Lex soon.

So he mainly came to see Lois. He is so lucky that Lois knows The Secret, otherwise he might be shooting himself in the foot.

<strong> This part is dedicated to all of you who wanted to see Lois and Clark embracing in the shower. Leading me on like that.

Despite not being what I had expected, the shower scene was pretty cute. I also liked Clark's deliberation over whether to go to Lois's place.

I'd like to see Lois slip up and Clark figure out that she knows without her knowing that he knows that she knows. He could really mess with her and get her back for rejecting Superman and messing with his head. But maybe I'm more vindictive than Clark is, and all he would want to do is clear the air. Not that trying to clear the air has worked much for him so far.

I am sure she remembers. Although shouldn't he want her to remember Superman's stupidity so she will like Clark more?

He should suspect that she figured out from his out of it responces to her on the roof if nothing else. He should assume Lois would try to manipulate knowing the secret to her own advantage.

So either she knows the secret or she is not really mad that Superman kissed her despite her protestations she was in love with another man.

It might learn to other people realizing the Secret.

I'm half surprised it is take her and not "give her a checkup". OK, not all Indians I have known have been doctors, the other half were engineers. OK, that is not quite true either, but definately in the late 1990s I would have said so.

Now that fits the stereotypes of Indians I have known. Much better than Asabi.

Has he ever been a human shield for Lois? The thing that came to my mind fastest here was his violating his bail terms during MoSB, but I am not sure he acted as a human shield there.

Yes, but she knows the Secret, so she probably can't fully help it.

tell her the truth Clark.

Already failed that plan, he let her know the truth as Superman.

I think telling her which persona is the key, not which persona he is in. Anyway once he says "Lois, I'm Clark", he can speed-change into Clark.

Actually I see it the other way around. If SM says "I'm Clark" he seems to be asserting that as the real identity.

Actually I think the key is to tell her which persona is real. However he really can't do that unless he tells her about alt-dimension, so he needs to prepare to tell her lots, definately more than she knows.

But that would be a way to make sure she would have to accept the reality of her knowing. It would make it impossible for her to claim continued ignorance.

Clearly that theory fails since she knows CK=SM, and is speaking to him. Although since she is pretending she does not know, it does limit her ability to be make at SM for CK's actions.

You know, I sort of don't think it made sense for Clark to heat up the gun that way. However he did it on occason in canon, so I guess it is in character. Other times he just let the criminals run down their own amunition, and I don't recall that the differences ever really made sense. On the other hand, LnC was strong on Clark, weak on Superman, so I often avoid trying to make sense out of SMs actions in the series.

If Lois had not realized already that CK=SM, she would be very confused that he had forgotten that.

Do it, do it, do it.

Yes, his forgetting that interchange really would tip Lois off that something was odd, if she did not already know.

I guess she can't really say more on that matter until he knows she knows.

he still has hope.

Yep, Superman should really be worried that Lois is going to suspect.

I have to admit I can't really agree with him here, but this is mainly because I know that Lois knows.

at Herb and his stupid idea that the curse covers there two.

Superman:I check you place regularly.

Lois:So you violate my privacy?

Superman:No, no, I do it through a friend. Or ah, something like that.

Lois:Yeah, sure. That is because you are Clark.

Lois:I have to take advantage of knowing the secret somehow. Come on, I deserve a little fun.

She probably doubts the desire part since she does not realize why Clark will not make love to her.

She porbably assumes he checked then, so she is really was taunting him with that line earlier.

Why does he even go close to such stupid ideas when he knows they will just rip him apart emotionally?

So if her going to the Lexor was a ploy to open her apartment up to put bugging equitment in it, he has not checked since then.

It seems longer, of course that is because it has been about two months of posting-time.

So did he go to her apartment the next morning? So he did check once since she was in the Lexor?

Umm, so much for his scanning her apartment ever chance he gets.

He should trust those visions even more now.

Like how he ended up leaving his suit at Clark's place? Where Clark was all day? Clark should be scared.

Clark:I would have appreacited the thanks for the other day, your interview really confused me.

I am sure it does make him feel good none the less.

Accepting thanks in important.

That situation would lead to lots of hilarity. Lois knows, Clark knows Lois knows, but Lois does not know Clark knows Lois knows. It would be a love-pentagon built for two, with all sorts of actions meant to confuse the other party.

Clark:What is the point of a world that lacks Lois?

she is helping Clark. Althogh I guess Clark can see it as maintaining her monopology on SM interviews.

Lois:See, Clark is still keeping secrets from me.

I'm surprised he goes to that place.

Then she will just think Clark is even a bigger wimp. Of course he does not know that, but it would probably shot himself in the foot the most of any of his options.

Except since she does know, it won't be so bad.

Now if he had been trying to do that when he kissed her before, Lois would really have a reason to be

But she said it was only a ruse. Of couse since she did not really explain why she was doing that ruse, he has doubts.

No. You know I would have a totally different reaction if I did not know Lois knew The Secret.

I do wish Clark did not have this doubt about Lois, but at knowing it is unfounded makes it livable. I guess I have to say as a literary device, Lois knowing and Clark not knowing she knows is fun, but I still feel for Clark.

Stop being such a wimp Clark. Believe that Lois told the truth when she said she was in love with you.

Lois:Well, it would be no fun if I didn't mess with his brain some.

Lois:Good. It would have been awkward if my boyfriend has some clothes that if he worse he would not kiss me.

Good think Lois altready knows the Secret.

I don't think she would let him again in the short term.

Fortunantly this is no longer an issue, otherwise I really would be worried.

He really needs to start believing Lois more.

This is such a lunkhead idea.

Not any worse than breaking up with her for her own good.

Yes he does. Not just that CK=SM, but all of it.

He needs to realize that he is not "allowing" any of this, it happens based on others choices.

Fortunantly or un he no longer has a choice in the matter. She knows The Secret whether he likes it or not.

Considering how many times they have kissed since she learned The Secret, I think he is overly worried. Although considering how mad she is about what he has doen, he is probably right, if Lois did not now know.

Actually I don't think she will get away with doing the direct anger thing at him over it. Of course it does depaend on whether he tells her of she lets him know she already knows. If he tells her she may go the angry route.

But then if he tells her the truth, will she think all his kissing her he views as a mistake?

Tell her that like Clark he was confused at the time?

I am shocked she did not start a fire in this process.

she does not know that Clark is his real identity.

I think that should be "to stare at her".

Lois:Although his kisses are amazing, still, I can keep up my facade.

she is in Clark's arms.

You know, if she did not know that CK=SM, I really don't see her doing this with SM. So her claims nothing has changed really don't work.

Lois:Or that you are Clark.

Oh, there are so many places where she could drop that line.

Lois:He won't be able to keep up the charade around me much longer.

Does she have no idea how much he wants her?

she wants to be in his arms. Hmm, I really don't see why she insists on keeping up her pretenses.

She is even reassumring Clark, let's hope he listenes.

No, he just is not sure if he really believes she still loves him.

This makes me pretty sure she did not set this situation up intentionally.

I can totally see Lois wording things this way.

Making love with Lois is more fun than going back to Kansas.

However if you thought CK=SM, then SM being halfway arcoss the country from CK would not really work against that theory.

Jonathan:Most men like to see their wives.

I like that they both admit they were wrong.

But it was a fake breakup.

I only wish I was sure he believed that.

Maybe he should not take Perry's advice on dealing with women. It never worked for Jimmy.

Is there any story where Clark regularly calls Lois "Metropolis".

But they are the same person.

Clark:Which me did you mean in that sentance?

He should really know the answer from Lois' line about missing Clark.

Well, since he has not figured out that she knows The Secret, he clearly does not understand Lois.

I am pretty sure she was flirting, if not fully consciously.

Why doesn't she wear perfume?

So it dates back before the accident.

So she considers this women nice. That is good for Clark, if only he knew how much Lois really misses him.

for more evidence against Luthor.

No, just one of the ways. He had suspected them a lot since September. Well, actually he had been convinced he knew they had done the deed since September.

So Clark was supposed to be there.

Lex did not become The Boss TM by trusting people.

But since he would sense a bug on his end and she would find one on hers, would it matter?

her plot is moving forward.

She really will take one for the team.

Of course this is assuming she can also convince him not to check on her apartment while she is not there.

Can't post much now but I liked it. still with you. Keep it up!

mrsMxyzptlk: Thank you for reading. Sorry for the frustration. (Hence note about tomato sauce).

John: Thanks for filling my inbox with FDK.
He went to Metropolis to see Lois. He'd rather visit happy Lois than angry Lois though.

Wolfe and I believe the muffin muncher have dropped in too.

Um... no. If he read the DP, he probably figured it out though when Clark's story was told.

I try to make Metropolis more multicultural than in canon.

I'm not sure how that works. Does it HAVE to be an officer of the law? If he's apprised of them by a total stranger or witness, he's still been warned.

CLARK: Well, let's hope he doesn't qualify for that either.

CLARK: I have never been convicted of anything!

CAT: Of being adorable.

CLARK:

Clark knows he's Clark, so that counts. Right.

I don't remember that from the Phoenix.

Coming to visit Lois was for purely selfish reasons.

CLARK: I'd rather not act stupid in either persona, thank you very much.

But that would assume that Clark would understand that Lois is no longer blind. Otherwise, all her responses could be taken in another way.

Or she doesn't want to talk about their private business out on the street.

Raj is not a doctor, but a computer programer.

A stereotype is still a stereotype. I'll try to do better next time.

On the roof of the gold repository during Invisible Man. (This story not canon).





Hmmmm... will lunkhead Clark make an appearance? Probably.

Well, she IS dealing with her feelings for both CK and SM at the moment, too.

CLARK:

And, yes.

Actually, she was going mostly for fear and desire and a bunch of confusion.

LOIS: <<fist pump!>> Score!

It's been a few days. Anyway, she wants to get him alone. She misses him.

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK -- Being ripped apart emotionally feels more how his life should be than happiness. He doesn't trust happiness, because it always seems to be pulled out from under him at some point or another.

LEX: Good Plan. I wish I had thought of it. But that free night at the Lexor was investigating something else.

Time stands still in Metropolis. Like right now. It's only March 1994.

No, I don't think he had a chance.

CLARK: Rub it in, why don't you?

He trusted her vision then, too, but he had already given his word to take care of Nightfall.

SUPERMAN: I stopped by Clark's apartment and gave him my suit after the mission and told him that I was going to spend a few days meditating and healing in Nepal. Apparently, he's forgotten this.

LOIS: So, you'd stop being Superman should I ever die? Well, if that isn't any pressure or anything?

A little of both.

Same secret. Clark would have told her it was the same officer, if he had been there. But he wasn't, so no can do.

I needed some place secluded for him to go, and he loves to torture himself, so why not there to remind himself why SM *shouldn't* become involved with Lois again.

I'm sure he could have come up with a suitable alibi (rescue) for an excuse.

CLARK: Lois being mad is always a possibility.

Clark can't believe she loves him, so he'll always have doubts.

You'd think she'd be going after him as SM again? Yeah, and you'd probably be correct too.

He tortured her, now she gets to torture him back.

CLARK: Because it was sooooo true when Lana said it?



CLARK: Unless, of course, she dies. Then not so much.

Every little bit helps.

M&J know Jerome and Lois aren't married. Lois told them this while they were in Smallville.

Clark is trying to believe that Lois really loves him. Does he get credit for that?

Thank you for noticing that!

Actually, I played around with it in one of my stories. I don't remember if it made it to the final draft. Lois called him Smallville, and in return he called her Metropolis.

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK --
You can miss someone you don't want a relationship with.

It's just a given that Lois is always flirting with Superman whether or not she knows he also goes around as CK.

MARTHA: Why should I? It's expensive stuff and I spend all day in the heat and dirt and around animals. Any perfume smell will have disappeared within 5 minutes.

EW: Many of us women don't wear perfume on a daily basis. I used to wear it only on special occasions. I'd still only wear it on special occasions but I don't know where my perfume disappeared to on my last move... 8+ years ago. And I'm one of those people who would rather spend money on important things, such as LnC DVDs.

LOIS: Of course she's nice! She got Clark to kiss me.

Not that it would still be there should she ever get a court order to prove it.

Actually, he's suspected something since right after Superman appeared in June.

LEX: Trust (from the LexCo Dictionary) What other people do in Lex.

But if they removed the bugs, Lex would be on to them being onto him.

LOIS: Well, don't think I'm doing this for MY pleasure!

CLARK: I'm really not into an invading others' privacy, even if one of those 'others' happens to be Lois.

Well they did have African-American looking genrals with Jewish/Eastern European last named (Zeitlin), so it was multi-cultural, just at times very subtle.

I am not sure if anyone knows the answer, because I am not sure any court has ever considered this question.



When she hypervenalates about how just him saying "hi" to her causes a hundred thoughts to go through her head, she makes a comment about fearing what will happen when he uses is two-sylable word.

I really don't know. I mean since he would only tell her in a private place, speed changing should not be an issue.

But she actually will understand you that way Clark, otherwise she will still be confused like Cat is, and might think you have non-human customs.

Good point. He is really lucky she knows the Secret, otherwise he would be making big problems for himself once he tells her.

True, but if he was not Clark, none of those facts would be relevant.

If only Clark would realize how much, and that it is him she misses.

I still think he should have tired harder to figure out a way out.

That would probably work. I guess he can claim Clark was doing street interviews all day.

Lois:then why didn't he turn any in to Perry?

Clark:I guess I lost my notes when I was kidnapped.

Well, you could have just avoided any Lois point-of-view sections, so we did not know what Lois really thought. That was what I was thinking about, not Lois actually not knowing The Secret, just us not knowing that Lois knows the Secret.

Clark:I never meant to torture her. I was really going to tell her early on, until I got hurt by realizing she was fake kissing me and fake pretending to date me so she could be with Superman.

Reader:So he was mad that she was pretended to be with him so she could really be with him. I still think it would have been much easier to tell her The Secret.

But Lois has no problem with any part of you, she enjoys the Super-side. I guess to understand Clark we need to in part appreciate how much of a number Lana did on him. Hmm, that what is canon-Clark's excuse for being a total lunkhead in relation to Lois.

Well, he has infleuence, but he is not in control, no one is ultimately in control.

Sadly Clark did not hear that part.

On the other hand, his superheading means she can only do it once. Well, unless she figures out a really oblique way to do it, so he will only half suspect.

That gives me more hope for Clark. ALthough he probably should have left a message on her answering machine.

I had forgotten he had told his parents about the curse.

OK, so I should have had that be a line by Thomas.

It would make the most sense if he did that during GGGoH, or someohter time they are out of town.

I have to admit I essentially stole that from "Smallville", one of the now 4 episodes I have watched. I won't tell any more because I think it is further in the show than Virginia has gotten, but I just had to admit I did not come up with it.

I should have asked that "is there a particularly important reason she no longer wears perfume."

Even if they managed to out manouver Luthor and find the bugs in the Lexor, connecting them to him and proving illicit spying would be two more steps that they would not have much chance of doing.

I was going for what Lex suspects Lois and Clark have done, not what he thinks Lois and Superman have done.

Good point.

Michael

On one of the rare occurrences that they had a speaking role, names matter little.

I'm sure a defense lawyer could counter that argument and win.

LOIS: <<thinks about this>> Could he change really slow?

CAT: Right? I'm telling you. That speed change is pure torture.

CLARK: But does it really matter?
LOIS:
CLARK: So, yes?

CLARK: Yeah, if only I could read her mind.
WELLS: Actually... Funny thing, that...



Originally, this story was going to be just one POV, but I find those much harder because I want to show EVERYTHING. Oh, hmmmm. That might be part of my problem.

When Clark learned that Lois hadn't kissed him truthfully on Trask's plane, he was both hurt and confused. And then he learned she wanted to use him as her "fake boyfriend" while she dated Superman and that made him mad, and serious re-evaluate whether or not he wanted to remain. But then she'd do something and he'd fall in love with her all over again and decide to stay.

CANON CLARK: I'm just trying to protect my family.

CLARK: New day, new Lois Lesson to be learned.

He hasn't. He told them that they can't ever have children.

Exactly.

Darth Michael: I knew if I searched the boards long enough I'd find my box of candy. Thanks.

Let's hope he doesn't get TV privileges for a while.

Nope, just a robbery.

LOIS: Awkward? Awkward?
SUPERMAN: Good thing that I'm faster than a speeding bullet, then, isn't it?
LOIS: Awkward?

CLARK: Oh, look, I think Perry needs me to file this story, I better run. Excuse me.

When he doesn't lie to her.

LOIS:

CLARK: Well, that would be... uh... dangerous?



LOIS: But it's not his birthday any longer.
CLARK:

Well, they do it all the time when they kidnap children, why not when they abduct women?



Sensory memories. She mentioned the new perfume in the shower scene.

Hence the scene between Clark and Jonathan.

What? Huh? I'm not writing a Martha and Jonathan Nfic?

Yes, but since neither have been installed yet...

How exactly does Lex score without touching Lois?

So, did you miss the scene where Lois and Superman were in the shower together? You probably missed it while you were writing your toilet joke. And, yes, I did think that was funny.

You’re welcome!

Michael

Edit:

LOIS: What's with this neverending rain lately?
CLARK: /looks up at sunny blue skies/ No idea, Lois.

CLARK: Living?

Makes sense.

Nope. Just a crate of red herrings that had started to go bad.

Well, the camera was in the mirror on the dresser, and if she used the phone in the bedroom, but put her back towards the dresser, then it's possible it didn't show on film.

Oh, you mean, he can watch it as many times as he likes without going through the effort?
LEX:
EW: What would be the fun in that?
LEX:
LOIS: Help! Superman! Get me out of this story, this writer is whacked!

Michael

RALPH: I could...
LEX: No, ME! I'm first. Me! <<shoot Ralph>> Me!
LOIS: Nah. I'm fine. Thanks.

CLARK: But she's alive, right? Who's with me here?
Sue S.'s CLARK: <<high-fives him>> Totally!
LOIS: :rolleyes:

LOIS: Well, Lex watching is better than Lex touching.

CLARK: Awww. Honey, you know that's not what I meant. I worship both your body and your mind.
LOIS: And they call *him* Superman? What does that make me?
CLARK:
LOIS: I'm thinking 'Supreme Ruler' has a nice ring to it.
LEX: Yeah, baby!
LOIS: Clark it is, then.
Big pile of LEX goo: What did I say? What did I say?

CAT: Couldn’t have had it so bad, after all…

Sue’s LOIS: Maybe I should have put the consummation into his vows…
LOIS: At least, *she* got vows.

She sure has learned to compromise…

Michael

LOIS: Even you wouldn't have done it with a dead Ralph.
CAT: /concedes point/

Actually, this Lois Well, you'll see.

LEX: And, now, for the bait and switch!

The idea was to do a live Ralph. :rolleyes:
Women Everywhere: Why would one want to do a live Ralph, either?
Really desperate hooker in need for money to satisfy her drug habit: He’d do in a pinch…

Michael

LOIS: Where's the Superman Foundation when you really need it?

LEX: No, that's where I touch and Superman watches. Nigel, didn't Lois get the script changes I made?

Hmm…she seems to be tad indecisive about Superman helping out desperate women. Some she wants to be helped, others she wants to be turned into tiger helpings.

NIGEL: Umm…Asabi lost them?

Michael

LOIS: Hello?! Who does Superman rescue more often than other? Me! Of course, he created the SM Foundation to help me out. Anyway, any other woman who touches Superman deserves to be fed to Tigers. It's only logical.
CAT:

LEX: Nigel, why are you backing towards the door?
