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

My apologies for the delay. Between sharing my laptop with my husband and iffy WiFi, I really miss my desktop computer.

Comments appreciated.

I guess I am about this part, but I was actually hoping we would learn more in this part than we did. I was really, really hoping Lois and Clark would get to actually really talk. silly me, thinking that could happen.

I guess this makes sense since SM may be needed to help in the investigation.

at them not talking.

Shouldn't Lois trying to help Clark keep his cover.

Lois:Not till he actually tells me CK=SM.

Jimmy:It is not funny to call us that.

I actually bothered to look up to make sure that "the Olsen Twins" were known in 1994, and lo and behold they were.

he is letting Jimmy write an article. This reminds me that the only consistent way to understand all L&C episodes is that there are two Jimmies. Two Jimmies works with what Jimmy tells Penny about how long he was at the DP, but even more it works with him getting his first article in "Brutal Youth" but we clearly saw him write articles in Season 1, and also it works with Jimmy's first photo spread having been with Clark's senior citizen's story and Perry's "Even Secretariate didn't win the purse his first time out" line.

So she knows that Clark is good at touching and feeling.

Lois:No comment.

Perry:We need Superman to be here to prevent any more bombs.

Clark just don't speak.

Clark:Why didn't I just do my taxes at home.

Lois:Because then you wouldn't have gotten me sitting in your lap.

Clark:OK, I guess I am glad I was close to you.

Clark:Obviously they are not in Mr. Luthor's employ, so maybe we should go see if they have connections to Cost Mart.

Intergang.

Eduardo:I do the astronomy section. Thus, I am the star reporter.

Lois:Minutes to decompress is what causes stories to go cold.

On the other hand, shouldn't she make sure that the story she was going to run from her weak source does not run?

Lois:So it was like I was on the date with Linda as well.

“If the MPD hasn’t broken the window of my office, I’m sure it says that Perry White is still Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Planet, and not Lois Lane, but if I’m mistaken about that, please don’t continue to keep me in the dark,” I think that should be "reached its limit", since it is "her boss's patience" that reached a limit.

Lois:Goody two-shoes.

Clark:I am so glad this is a secondary assignment. The longer Lois stays away from that creep the better.

Good think he can't be strangled.

touching.

that he didn't tell her. He could have told her, Perry was not that close. He could have snuck out with her and had a long conversation. The bomb was gone and the bad guys were all caught.

Why shouldn't she blame him. Perry was not that close. He could have told her.

Well, she was the one who actually went through with breaking up. And the one who accepted The Watch (TM) that has been such a block to their moving forward.

at least he did not try to blame her.

Tell her now Clark. Oh wait, is Perry still there, or did he leave?

How can Lois be to blame when she does not know? OK, she does know, so probably Clark is mainly right, she could fix things, but still, he is the one who wimped out of telling her so many times in the past.

touching, on the other hand she didn't kiss him on the lips.

more flirting.

that she still insists on keeping this secret from Clark. Hmm, what will happen if Perry refuses to not tell Clark?

But what about accidentally eavesdropping?

Next date.

Clark:I hope you like this spaghetti I made for you Lois.

Lois:How does your superhearing work?

Clark:

Lois:Come on, you didn't expect the glasses to actually work as a disguise, when I have seen you without a shirt, now did you?

Lois:So we know he does not proactively try to super-hear. In fact, it is more likely that not Super-hearing would cause temperature changes. Although come to think of it, that was probably all an evil plot by Lex Luthor.

Lois:Especially when he took me in his arms. Oh wait, no that was the end of February in his hospital bed. Wrong memory.

But there are so much more fun things than conversing to do with Clark.

Like the remains of Nightfall?

I think that should be "front of the van", although it does still seem odd to use van and ambulance interchangeably.

Gag at the thought of her spending more time with the creep.

she does not want to spend time with Lex.

It prevents her from kissing him every time she sees him.

Lois:although I am glad that for most of it I was much more in Clark's presence. I hope Clark really liked my dress.

She should have insisted that she needed a little first aid for her hurt wrists, and gotten Clark to take her to his apartment.

Hopefully Ariana has him too distracted to think about that.

Ariana:Well, I am trying to assure that.

Lois:Clark, you have such a nice bed.

I think that should be "enough to bring".

Lois:Well, if I was Linda it would have been working.

Sort of like James "Rebel without a cause" Dean, only they do even worse things.

I always thought the key to being a terrorist was creating terror, not having a reason behind it.

She really does want to sleep with him.

they are going to really talk.

Lois:Talk, who said anything about talk. I am going to do.

touching.

Lois:I don't even have one. Because I want my hands to touch something much better. Plus, I didn't want them to get burned. Is Clark hoping to tell me his secret through hints. I am going to make him speak it vocally.

they are getting closer.

more touching.

See, I said she no longer had mundane fantasies.

Wait, how does she know his chest is muscular.

Lois:I saw him without a shirt, remember.

even closer.

So much for her not having mundane fantasies.

That was not what he did in the hospital.

The unmarried are not fully adults. That is my best theory on the terminology though.

Lovers?

Well, I have known people who seemed to use "fiance" to describe relationships where the man did not seem at all committed to actually marry.

On the last subject, I have also known some people who would just describe the other person in the relationship as "friend" until they married. "Significant Other" might work, except at times it is used as a synonym for spouse. She could always try to revive "lady friend" or "gentleman caller", but those have baggage of actual use, while "manfriend" and "womanfriend" just have the problem that as not-sued terms, is it clear they mean what we intent. We could always use "romantic male friend", because "Male friend" without the romatic almost seems like an attempt to say "he is not my boyfriend", but that is so long. Plus "Romatic woman friend" is even longer.

There might be multiple issues with Clark almost calling Lois "Ultragirl", and I am very glad he got "Ultrawomen" said instead. However, I think something like "Radwoman" would have been better (OK, maybe not rad, but my point is about syllables). The problem with "Superwomen" vs. "Superman", is "Superwoman" is longer by a whole syllable. "Superlady" does not help any. So you get "Supergirl", "Superlass", "Superchick" or "Superdame". Hmm, maybe she should have been "Ultradame". However, I think the term "dame" has too much baggage to work. "Ultragal" does not seem to be as bad as "Ultragirl", but still not as respect commanding as "Ultrawoman".

more touching.

He's Superman, of course it would work. He can pull up the fabric anywhere she wants him to.

Sort of like what happened at the Metro Club?

Clark:Your soul mate.

I doubt he would run if she asked that. Wouldn't he want to stay and figure out what she knows?

She forgot to handcuff him first.

Makeout first, ask later when he is satiated and out of energy. Then he can't run so easily.

On if it is spaghetti and she is rubbing him like she did the last time they shared pasta.

So do him first, then expose that she knows?

Only if she tells him the truth about the hospital first.

Lois:I said, I could fall asleep, not him.

more closeness. Although this will only happen if she tells him the truth about the hospital first.

Why do I have this strong suspicion she would not manage to put off being intimate until after brunch in this case, even if he has not told her The Secret TM.

Would that really stop him from running away?

Lois:It is a win/win situation. If he does not want to show me he is superman, he stays in the handcuffs. If he does break them, well he has shown me he is Superman. He has to tell me.

Hmm, this does remind me, it is Lois's fault she does not know. Clark was totally going to tell her at least 2 times but she cut him off and prevented him from telling her. at her stupid exposing Luthor plan.

they were so close.

Lois: . I guess I was going for the most recent way that I know his chest is muscular. Plus, I never got to fully explore him then, what with him running off.

Lois: especially certain parts of his body.

Clark:Wait, Lois you were not just moving to have a better look at the bad guys.

Lois:

more touching.

Lois:I should have had handcuffs with me when we took the left over food to his apartment after we went to the new Italian restaurant by his place. Then he would not have gotten away when there was the knock on the door.

An hour later

Clark:All that wiggling did it anyway.

more touching.

Lois:For one think I would not still have this dress on.

Lex always interrupting the good parts.

Superman.

Nah, she missed it because she has had her fill of dealing with creepy rich guys for the week. Between Luthor and Carpenter she can't take it anymore.

Lois:Carpenter treated me like I was similar to Linda.

Well, that is a term that does not use "boy" or "girl".

Husband.

Only until she tells him what happened at the hospital. And that she has not had her period since. OK, I maybe don't think she is pregnant.

OK, that was lunkheaded, but I thought he was just joking.

OK, that was his stupidest line all evening.

Clark:Lois, the truth is, that I can make love, I just fear if we do, you will die.

Nah, the EW would never have let it be that simple.

That is not his fault. We blame it all on the EW. The quota of Clark wimp outs ways exceeded.

She he should have flown her away right then.

More blame on the EW.

Nah, it is her revulsion at Luthor.

Yeah, maybe it was Schumack.

Coroner:Nah, but we were told Lois Lane was edgy, so to be prepared beforehand to do an autopsy if she didn't get her way.

Clark:I told you everything I knew about the bomb.

Lois:If Superman wanted to kill someone, he would burn him to a grisp and spirit away the ashes, to make it much harder to even detect the crime was done.

Lois:Besides everything else, he was too attached to me to make any progress on doing that.

Officer Marlow:About 2 hours ago.

Lois (in mind):Just as he was caressing me so tenderly. Yep, this guy has no idea what he is talking about.

Lois:Not likely if he was slit in the back of his neck. He never saw what was coming.

So much for small words.

Henderson:It works much better if the police operate on an everyone is guilty assumption.

Reader:At this point the press would generally refer to people as accused and suspects. It would not be until 1996 and the Atlanta Olympics bombing that overly quick accusations would lead to the rise of "persons of interest".

Marlow:You have been making love with him for that last 3 hours.

Lois:What?

Marlow:I read the National Whisper. I know all about your relationship with Superman, Miss Lane.

Marlow:I distinctly remember LNN telling us Superman had killed. I just don't remember the details.

Marlow:Maybe he slit it with his head vision.

Marlow:Within attacking range of Superman.

More evidence that the victim was not a witness.

Lois:Don't say that too loud, or Superman might make an example of you, Henderson, for insulting his romantic interest.

Cat:Of the night, after Toni Taylor was through with her.

Lois:At least someone knows the truth.

Lois:Then how am I going to get him fired for incompetence?



Lois:Stop trying to take Clark's job. He gets to edit my copy, not you.

Henderson:Is that what they are calling it these days.

Henderosn:If you dielike LNN, why are you in a relationship with it's leader.

Lois:He enjoys my other talents.

Henderson:Which is why you two were so close this evening.

Amazing, she is giving Henderson credit for thinking.

Lois:I knew it.

Lois:By knocking them unconscious? I don't think so.

he is thinking of him as Clark.

Wait, did she talk to Superman yet? Oh right, he warmed her chest.

Henderson:The Batman, but I don't really believe he exists.

And away from the cops in the pay of The Boss TM.

Oh, he does not want missing evidence.

Lois:How do you think I get all my SM exclusives.

Henderson:I mean, recently.

Samantha (in background on phone): Mr. Goode, I just heard Lois confirm that Superman touched her chest. We need to run that story.

Henderson:The plea of his lover for rescue no doubt.

Because he already knows it.

Lois:Maybe not by the MPD. But I don't trust Ms. Drake to miss that chance to attack. And I trust LNN not to play this accusation to its full potential even less.

Lois:Murdering a man whose sole crime is sitting in a car seems a bit beyond most vigilantes. These "terrorists" and "vigilantes" hardly fit the bill.

Henderson:Not likely with the upper body strength he needed to take down those 3 criminals in advertising.

Lois:Yeah, Clark's horrible ex-fianee, La-, or something like that. I once caught him almost saying her name.

Lois:Although it might be good to finally tell her what I thought of how she treated poor Clark.

Henderson:Which is why we did not see him for an hour after you, Clark and the others were captured.

That is a low blow.

Lois:Just making out with the man of steel whenever I catch him alone.

Lois:How do you know that? The only person you saw me together with was Clark. Anyway, if I was dating Luthor, do you think I would still be here when he was on the way to the hospital?

Henderson:So are me and Elizabeth (I had to come up with some name for his wife).

Henderson:And I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Friends don't wear that type of dress when they go out.

Henderson:Of course it is. Your presence drew out terrorists, we need to know why.

Why else was he supposed to think from the picture with Cat's article.

So now it is her fault Luthor is not in jail.

Henderson:Elizabeth would have my hide if I had any idea.

Henderson:One that has red and blue markings, right.

Lois:Oh know, another person is on to his "reading lips".

I half want to say it should be "and would have sent". The phrasing there suggests that they did send the SWAT team to rescue, since otherwise without talking to Kent they wouldn't have done so.

Lois:Yes, one where Clark had to admit to me that he is SM, hmm, maybe I could be in Hawaii now with him enjoying his other talents even now.

Well, he did try to. He didn't want to give Luthor any ideas about his abilities.

OK, actually, I don't see why he didn't explain what he was doing to Lois.

I still don't get how he did that without her noticing if they were facing the same way.

Clark:But it was so much more fun to whisper sweet nothings in her ear.

To be fair, Clark was going to give her a straight answer, before Perry interrupted.

She really should just tell Clark and start working with him on the project. Especially since that is what Perry is most likely to tell her to do.

I think you wanted to say "as she walked up".

Lois:No, Clark would never have let me die.

Lois:So he is below gofer level.

I think that should be "want to add".

I think you want to say "bomb and didn't". The last part really does not work as "wasn't".

So this is black Henderson, not white Henderson.

We really need to see more of Detective Bob Henderson.

Bob Henderson:Bill's investigations do not usually involve things blowing up.

it is looking like Lois won't get her wish.

Fantastic chapter again. Loved the quick talk between Lois and Clark. Loved Lois' daydream. *laughs* You did really well showing how people subtly change their daydream as it moves along. Plus Lois managed to grope .. uh.. feel that chest in her dreams. Good going Lois.

I wonder what she wanted to speak to Perry about. Guess we won't find out for about ... 7 more updates .

I'm so desperate for a full chapter of lovely WAFFY Lois and Clark and there was a chance it was getting close ... until you hit us with that ending. There is no way we'll see them together for ages now that Clark needs to look for the real bomb.

ARGH!

I thought it was implied Lois wanted to talk to Perry about how she had learned that Luthor was plotting against the "Daily Planet".

Is Lois going to realize that Luthor has healed from his gunshot wound too quickly? How long is the real Luthor going to be willing to fake an injury? And how will he explain that to Arianna?

Well, Ariana does know about the clone, so most thinks will be explainable to her.

I hope Lois does notice something is up with Luthor recovering too fast. Still, if she does, what will she think? In a world with no clones, that is the last thing people will think.

Even Clark who had been cloned and had just been involved in exposing the president as a clone took a while to think "maybe this Lois is a clone" when she was acting off.

Oh my, oh my. Wonder what Clark's thinking about that statement. I'm sure there's equal parts and

So even subconsciously she knows things won't heat up from his end intentionally.

WHAT? What?? Seriously Lois? Who? Sure. What? Not so much.

heeheehee. Too bad there isn't another good time to try that. Of course it would need to be done BEFORE she tells him that she knows (or Clark tells her his life as Superman.) While it might be fun for Lois to be at Clark's mercy, Clark would need to practice self-restraint rather than be tied down physically.

Or a Red-Kryptonite lasered Lois... pardon me, UltraWoman.

Yes, he should have. It would have helped her to be comforted that Superman wouldn't have to reveal himself to do what needed to be done. While she always seemed to believe it was a possibility (this version only) it would have eased her mind a little to have Henderson on the case. Now Cat? That'd be a different matter.

I bet Perry would be the ONLY person (including Clark) that would be able to get away with calling her "Woman."

Not you Jimbo, the paper. Sheesh.

So was it a trigger? Or just a bluff?

He knows his rights, I guess.

Busy, busy I guess. Lois won't be seeing him in the morning.

First Cat, then Rahelia, now Lois. I think they sent Perry to Paries and kept Claude.

Oh, we’re still talking about those buttons. My bad.

Well, the bomb would have certainly reduced her compression level.



Baron Tempos: I think so. /puts ‘The Fox’ on top of Top 10 Terrorists list/ Now, let’s go and ‘interview’ the Lady Loissette.

Wouldn’t that be a bummer if she finally got him naked and in the same bed as her and then she falls asleep?

To be fair, back in the day boyfriend/girlfriend became fiancé/fiancée by the time boy and girl no longer applied.
ARIANNA CARLIN: Yes, I did write a book and the divestment of morals in today’s society and how loose women cause good-standing gentleman to forget all about their vows to their wives.
ELLEN LANE: I bought that book. Even had it autographed.

Yah think?

Better while he’s naked underneath her and she’s pinned him down. Yeah, that should douse things down a little.

Riiiiight.



Sextoy?



LINDA: Maybe they would be more engaging if you slept with them more often?

Now, *there* you have a headline.

Ralph’s brother?

‘look at the proof’, since she’s using small words.

‘good ones’.

that law thingy about you being a good guy until they find out you’re a bad guy

keep the laws, and never forget about this one there.

Yeah, that should keep it to one syllable words. It’s still a mouthful, the entire tirade. Maybe if she used a comic, too?

Superman could have used a fingernail.

He was frustrated by his lack of progress on the bomb and Lois fronts?



Michael

Yikes! Is it even wise to follow Jar-Jar Binks? Or would that be a bad omen?

As I mentioned when I did some FDK response earlier today, Part 140 isn't working out the way I planned and/or hoped. I'm currently working on rewriting a major portion of it, therefore, to keep my cushion at 5 parts, I will not be able to post Part 135 tonight.

One of my Betas has been having computer trouble and will soon be returning to an overloaded school schedule, and limited betaing availability. Now that September is peering over the horizon at me, I'll probably need to start seriously looking for some kind of employment outside the home now that my youngest is heading off to Kindergarten in a couple of weeks. My posting schedule in the last month has been quite spotty and it would probably be best if I tone it down to only one post per week for the foreseeable future. <<I know the will start to parade across my FDK page because of that statement, especially after I post 135, so I'll promise now that I'll post Part 136 as soon as I can after completing Part 141.>> I'll miss reading all the new gems of wisdom those who comment on my stories give me (twice a week), but perhaps I'll be able to work up on building my cushion, so I don't miss any more postings.

Again, my apologies.

I have to admit I am about the once-a-week schedule, but I understand why you are doing it, and really appreciate this story, no matter what rate it comes out at.

Hopefully you can start building your buffer above 5 parts. Good luck in all you do.

Well, since you mentioned them...


I didn't find a full-scene picture and the Youtube one's elusive, too, but I'm guessing you know there's a couple more of them off screen...

Anyhow, take the time you need to do your buffering, the FDK will be here after you get back I'll just have to check out those other fics out there. Yeah, I know. Such pain...

Michael

I think that should be "as she walked up".

I think Clark would say "not what I was".

That should either be "Inspector Henderson interrupted" or "Inspector Henderson's voice", but probably the first works just fine.

So, *that's* what happened to Anikan. He followed Jar-Jar! I'll just have to check out those other fics out there. Yeah, I know. Such pain...</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks, Michael.

Superchick.

*diez*

I swear, the FDK is almost as much fun as the chapter!

Superchick.

*diez*

I swear, the FDK is almost as much fun as the chapter!

The ending of this part made me think maybe I should not have been complaining about less Superman appearances in this universe. Now we have a situation where Superman will have to do more than he did in canon, and it looks like it will keep him away from Lois.

It happens, now and then. Usually, I just add both fdk threads into the TOC. You generally find that one of the threads dies off and one becomes the main thread, somewhat naturally.

LabRat

KatherineKent: Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
LOIS: Did I? Well, there's no helping that.

She wanted to tell Perry that Lex has been researching the DP.

On the plus side, I just wrote a chapter of full of delicious bantering WAFF.
LOIS:
CLARK:
On the negative side, I'm not going to tell you when I'm going to post it, especially since my characters may change my timeline before we get to it. (It's not within my 5 part cushion.)
LOIS & CLARK: /pointing at the other/ This is all *your* fault!

I'm still answering your FDK in turn. I think I did 124 yesterday, so only 10 behind the others, for now.


Kismatt: I'm glad you enjoy us dissing my story.

We try our best to entertain.


Laurach: Sorry about the FDK confusion. I had Labby bring your comments over here to keep everything cleaner.

I figured where this story was headed, you Readers needed a little fantasy Double Fudge Crunch Bar to tide you over.

Answers to those questions are coming, and I apologize that it's taking so long to get there.

I have written the end of this story already in my head and in my outline. Let's say that this story is a road trip from Boston to Los Angeles. There is a definite place I'm headed (Los Angeles) with certain spots we need to hit to get there (via Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, and Las Vegas), but between those markers (cities), I let my characters (my muse) have free reign to choose freeway or country road. My characters love those bumpy paths least taken, where they can camp and enjoy the scenery. I keep trying to coax them back onto the freeway, but they keep finding 'biggest ball of string' tourist spots to distract them. I've found that if I plot it out too much in advance then I lose the interest, drive, and creativity needed to finish. Currently, we're somewhere between St. Louis and Denver. Just remember there are some mountains between here and Las Vegas that we must over come.

Thank you for still sticking with me. I'll be posting Part 140 tonight. Be careful what you wish for.

John: Sorry about the delay in responding. I'm still trying to catch up.
Be careful what you wish for.

Good point.

LOIS: Ooops?

CLARK: Well, that would have... been.... awkward.

Thanks. Fixed.

LOIS: But I might enjoy trying it.
CLARK: Me too.

Hmmmm.

Good point.

PERRY: No, I didn't. How else would Lane have gotten pregnant?
LOIS: What?
CLARK: I told you, sir, I've been a perfect gentleman.
LOIS: What? I'm *what?*

LOIS: I didn't say that!
CLARK: Out loud.
LOIS: Okay, I may have THOUGHT it, but I didn't say it.
CLARK: Then, how come I heard you?

CLARK: I'm telling you, Lois, that's not in my job description! You would be agreeing with me here, if he had ordered me to sleep with someone else.
LOIS:

So, should this be counted as foreshadowing?

He has his own assignment. Anyway, I don't think he's as nosy as Lois.

LOIS: But he can't fly off if he's handcuffed to me.

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK --
This isn't the way she wants Clark to find out about her investigation.

CLARK: That actually happens more than I care to admit.

I'm surprised either of them would have been talking if Clark was making pasta.

I doubt super-hearing would raise the temperature any, either.
CLARK: It's raised mine once or twice.

She meant "heated words" or "heated tempers".

CLARK: See! Not all my fault. I can't help it if I'm irresistible.
LOIS:

Actually, here, she's referring to Krypton.

Does it? The Speedy Ambulances looked more like a van to me. Fixed. Thanks.

I never quite understood why she rode to the hospital with Lex in canon.

CLARK: I'm busy following the bomb squad.
LOIS: Then I should have had Superman take me to your apartment.
CLARK: Er... um... uh... yes, that might have worked.

CLARK: You've spent the night before, Lois. Good night! /grabs pillow and blanket and heads for the couch/
LOIS: But I think Lois's final response should be:
LOIS: Oh, right, Superman. Let's bring him out too.

Now, now. Conversations always start on the couch.

Lois has already set down her mug.

LOIS: /ssshhhh/ I'm trying to have a fantasy here!

He was wearing sunglasses to protect his eyes from the light. She left them on.

LOIS: Some things are more important.

It's not his bare chest.

She's felt his chest before.
CLARK: She has? When?
LOIS: We've made out before.
CLARK: Oh, right. My, bad.
LOIS: And I pushed up the hospital gown, remember.
CLARK: What?

She knows her man.

LOIS: /too sweetly/ Henderson, can I borrow that red and green watch you found with Clark in Hobs Bay. There's something I want to investigate.
CLARK: What?
LOIS: How to give you amnesia again.

Traditionally, that makes a lot of sense.

LOIS: Mom. Dad. I'd like you to meet my... lover!
CLARK: Say, what?!
No, I don't think so.

DR. FRISKIN: I have lots of patients who came to me because of this same problem.

LOIS: Mom. Dad. This is Clark. He's my RMF. /short for romantic male friend/
ELLEN: Dear, does this mean you also have RFF?
LOIS: Darn. I was sure RMF would be the one. Back to the drawing board.

I agree Ultrawoman is a mouthful... 4 syllables. So, we need a one syllable word for Super to go with Woman which hasn't been used before.
WONDER WOMAN: My name has 4 syllables.
LOIS: What is SHE doing in our story?
WONDER WOMAN: I heard you calling for a female super hero.
LOIS: You're not a 4-syllable female super hero, your a 4 letter word... no, wait, 'whore' has five letters.... and so does...
WONDER WOMAN: Female Dog? Isn't that you?
LOIS: Get HER out of here!
EW: Anyway, back to the point: one syllable words for Super: Good, Great, Cool, Grand, Fine, Brave, Nice... hmmmm, Ultra isn't looking too bad, now, is it?

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK --
Would that require tearing her dress in two?

CLARK: I'm listening. Go on.

Good answer!

Not if it's in response to his earlier incomplete statement of "Lois, I'm..."



/cough/ Superman. Doesn't run out of energy. /cough/

LOIS: I didn't rub him like that when we were at Aunti Pastos!
CLARK: I beg to differ.

LOIS: I'm not that sort of girl!
CLARK: No, but you're that sort of woman.
LOIS:

But she denied anything happened at the hospital.

CLARK: I won't sleep?

CLARK: The curse says nothing about snuggling.

LOIS: I've made it this long!
EW: I think that was John's point. Now, you're hard up.
LOIS: I beg your pardon!
CLARK: I think she means me.

But she wasn't ready THEN. She's ready now.

So you think Clark loses muscle tone when exposed to Green K?
CLARK: Perhaps.

My guess is that she only has to be near to drive Clark crazy.

True, but the ambulance might have had someone entirely else in it. Don't forget that Fuentes shot one of his men and Asabi burned another.

Actually, Clark.

CLARK: Except he didn't pay you. <<ducking>>

True, but it's a bit sterile.

LOIS: I'm only 26. I don't want to get married yet.

It's only been a month since Clark's birthday, give or take a day or two, and the hospital was a few days before that.

CLARK: I was weighing my options.

CLARK: I thought she wanted honesty.

Um... not *that* truth.



Oh, dear. And it wasn't my fault, Perry and the bomb squad were coming. <<okay, that *was* my fault, but I was trying to stick to believability, here.>>

As Clark?

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK -- It's a bunch of both.

And here you all thought she was pregnant.
LOIS:
CLARK: /reading Dirt Digger/ Where do they come up with these stories?

Exactly.

Good point, but not all vigilantes are non-violent which is why they get a bad rap.

Years later after watching The Avengers...
HENDERSON: I stand corrected.

So there's a grumpy kryptonian woman on Earth?

LOIS: He's also very quick.

I believe that's what we call "a burn".

Yeah, I'm thinking she wouldn't admit that, even to Henderson... sorry, especially to Henderson.

Cat saw it.

LOIS: Ex-cuse me! I LIKE this dress! I wore it for ME!

LOIS: I don't know why. Terrorists always seem to either be obsessed with me or really, really, hate me.
FUENTES: /calling from off screen/ It's that latter!

That he shouldn't prejudge someone based on one piece of evidence.
CLARK: Ooops.

She doesn't have the evidence to convict Lex, so even if Henderson did know, Lex would still be a free man.

LOIS: Geeze, was I the last person in Metropolis to discover Clark's secret identity?

Yes, that's probably more grammatically correct.

HENDERSON: Or...

He didn't want to give himself away to the others in the room.

Their torsos were faced the same way, but not necessarily their faces.

True.

LOIS: I'll believe it when I *hear* it!

GENERAL PUBLIC: That's strange. Didn't you hear on LNN that members of the Daily Planet staff was held hostage last night, yet there isn't anything about it in the paper this morning.

Thanks. Fixed.

PERRY: Last time I checked, he wasn't up there when you got the bomb strapped to your chest.

How sad that College Students are considered under gofers.

Fixed. Thanks.



Well, the cloning of a fully functional adult is quite unbelievable.

Fixed. Thanks.

Fixed. Thanks.

So, that's one vote for Clark raising his child and no votes for Lex.
LOIS: WHAT?!

I was afraid it was going to get lost the crowd and I'm so far behind in answering my FDK. Normally, I'm much better than this.

Great and Brave might actually work. Still, I guess you have a point with "Wonder Woman". Thinking about it, "Ultrawoman" works as well.

I like her more than Wonder Woman.

Clark:Anyway, I think the reader meant "shared pasta" not just ate at the same table.

CANON CLARK: Michael

Darth Michael: Sorry for not responding first thing this morning, but I was trying to send off Part 148 to Beta first.
Oh. No. no. no. Lobotomize my brain now! Must get image out of my head.
LOIS: Very funny.

I don't think that was the one she wanted.

No, I've decided to go with tradition and have Ralph's surname be: Spagoda . It's just too perfect. Many to Rivka (who suggested it) and Classicalla (who used it first? in her story: A New Hero)

Yeah. Totally EW's fault for not actually using small words. Apologies.

SUPERMAN: Do you know how hard it is to get other people's blood out from under your nails? /scoffs/ I'd totally use a knife. Not that I'd actually kill anyone. /points to his blue suit/ Good guy, remember.

-- Continuation of Response to Michael's FDK --
CLARK: Wouldn't I just shoot Lex with an uzi from the top of a neighboring building, instead?

LOIS: Exactly! What?

JIMMYs: We're not THAT dumb.

BATMAN: I don't kill people, and if I did, nobody would ever know it was me, because I'm BATMAN!

Catwoman escaped.
CAT:

HENDERSON: That's what I like to call a "burn".

/phew/ only 136 left to go. /just picked random number, but just thought of new challenge... / I'm back: LnC Dangling Threads Challenge

HENDERSON: Oooops. My bad. He's not really dead.
LOIS:



Um.... actually, they do.

Michael

CLARK: Um... Lois, are you sure you want these emotions in print where the D.A. can see them? 'Cause the last time I checked, the DA's office, not your biggest fans.

Sorry, usually I'll add triple stars (or titles) if there's a scene break between Part numbers. In the Archive version the chapter breaks will only be at where the titled chapters are (not at the Part breaks), which unlike Missing Lois, are placed randomly through-out this story whenever/wherever needed (i.e. I please).

So, you're saying that being a "Lucky" (Luthor's Underground Community Kid) isn't fun?

LOISETTE: I'll still be able to be with Sir Charles!

MARTIAN MANHUNTER: I believe I've just been insulted.

SUPERMAN: Only if, indeed, I had no knowledge of it.

SUPERMAN: Sorry, I've just been reading Michael's FDK.

That's my usual source for understanding your vague references.

CAT: Excuse me? No thanks!

She's guessing that Clark, being from Krypton, hasn't learned about the finer aspects of that distant city?
CLARK: They have brothels too!... I mean, I didn't know they had 24 hour chapels, Lois, I've never been there.

No, those are great fun, too.
RED SHIRT GUY (sorry, forgot his name): I didn’t find it all that funny.

Umm…no. Different prison. Ser Charles gets sent to the one for noble prisoners. Loisette gets to work at the one where the put the rapists and robbers. Say, did they actually know about and persecute rape in the middle ages?
LOISETTE: No rapists in prison! Michael

That would be "Kirk", per his homage.

I think it depended on who the rapist and robbers, raped and robbed.

CLARK: Like city limits matter to a man who can fly around the world in seconds flat.
NEVADA MADAMES: Not really selling himself with that tagline.
LOIS: Tell me about it.

Yeah. Although, it’s either a non-crime or one punishable by immediate and gruesome dying in a very public fashion. Neither one would be conductive to furthering the activity inside the prison walls.

Michael

Well, the Nevada Madames said "selling himself" with that tagline... so they weren't referring to him purchasing time with women, but the other way around.
