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

So, well, um... er... comments?

How do you spell lunkhead? Oh, yes, C-L-A-R-K K-E-N-T.

He should try telling the truth. If she believes he is a strange visitant from another planet, why wouldn't she believe he came from another dimension? Does he think Lois is so obtuse that she wouldn't understand time travel and multi-dimensions? Martha and Jonathan didn't know him, he didn't have any proof, he took their's son identity without asking them and even so they believed him. If simple farmers could understand multi-dimensions and alt-worlds, why couldn't a brilliant and intelligent reporter?

And correct me if I am wrong, but what I have gathered so far is that he wants to marry Lois but never tell her the truth about his dimension, about his true Lois and canon Lois, because "she wouldn't believe it".


I was right. A long time ago I said he would never tell her. He didn't. She found out by herself and even when he found out she knew, he didn't tell anything. She had to tell him that she knew.

Andreia

Lois is an idiot. Sure, Clark needs to just tell her his real background, and that would alleviate some of their problems, but most of their problems stem from her not telling him anything and expecting him to read her mind. How is he supposed to know that she actually loves him? He can't just go by her telling him, "I love you; trust me." He has to go by her actions. She claimed that she didn't want to be seen dating Clark, and she dates Luthor and wears expensive gifts from him. And now she's considering accepting his proposal. She can't expect Clark to know that she's going undercover "for his own good" because she never gave him any indication of it. She's not giving Clark her reasons why she would accept Luthor's proposal, either. All she's doing is saying that she knows how she feels about him, not what those feelings are. She should have started off by saying, "I've been dating Lex to get him to trust me because I'm investigating him, and I've gotten in over my head. He asked me to marry him, and I'm considering it because I think I can get more information out of him if I play the fiancee for a while, but of course I'd never actually marry the creep."

Her conversation with Perry is particularly telling. Perry is pretty sensible, but he's lost all influence over her. Lois is just off in her own little world where she thinks everything she does is a sacrifice for the greater good and she's such a martyr who is going to single-handedly save everyone. She's in over her head, and she's too full of herself to acknowledge it. She claims that Clark stole her story. How can he possibly have stolen her story when her boss didn't know she was working on it? And how hypocritical is she to be upset at Clark for investigating Luthor without telling her?

And how can she legitimately get upset at Clark for not telling her that he's Superman when she knows that he tried to tell her several times, but she stopped him and told him not to?

Sure, Clark has made a mistake here and there, but it seems that everything Lois does makes things worse for herself and everyone around her. It would serve her right if she ends up walking down the aisle to Lex. She's making her bed; she's going to have to sleep in it. Superman can't save her from everything.

Lois:No, I menat "that is where you dumped me." I know the secret.

Lois:But if I had said them, Clark would probably realize I knew the truth, and maybe those listening in on this conversation would as well.

Actually, he should have told her the full truth earlier.

Which is why he should have told her sooner, so he can get forgiven.

It was really not a bright idea. He should have told her his secret then.

She was already starting to love Clark more. He needs to stop trying to force her feelings.

I am surprised he did not go check on her progress as SM.

It has been six days right.

If he only knew how long the next few weeks will be.

they are together. We are doing our last hurrah of happiness.

I wish he would focus more on why this is.

No watch.

Clark, focus on what she wants.

Not if she thinks her phone is bugged.

They really need to get secure email accounts that they can send each other messages on.

Yes, yes he should have. Which in some ways makes Lois's anger at him even less understandable. She is mad at him because he did not run to her when she called, but she has gotten mad at him so many times for it, he is trying to do better.

Is there no where in Metropolis free from Lex's all-seeing eye.

Clark, offer to take her somewhere private and safe.

at least he understands the truth about Lois.

But they still are in the park. He really should ask if she would like to go to his apartment so they can actually speak without being overheard.

I have to say that in WHALTTA they did way too much talking out in the open.

I wish he would be more open about what is going on.

So, he thinks SM was her investigation, and SM=CK was her discovery? He thinks that is what she wants to talk about.

they are both too focused on their own concerns.

Clark, she said need, let her go first.

Now that was just plain rude on her part.

touching. OK, maybe I am a bit crazy, but I am trying to squeeze any joy I can out of this part.

she is being more forceful in ending contact with Clark than with Lex.

Clark:How about "no", "never", "not in a million years". Things like that.

Lois:But he might have gotten angry and killed me.

Reader:Oh, this would have been such a better way to go.



and also he is not listening or thinking. He knows Lex is an evil man who will kill, so he really does know Lois can feel unsafe.

She really, really should stop to consider what is happening to Clark, and why he is reacting so.

2 minutes later

Lois:How was I supposed to know the North Metropolis High School chess team would be playing games and the Central Atlantic Backgammon championship would be both happening here this morning?

he needs to remember that it was to him she mentioned a desire to be handcuffed, not to Lex.

Clark:But many women marry a man other than who they love.

Reader:Do you really think Lois would do such.

Clark:Well, no, but I also didn't think Lois would be so quick to run off because of some expensive peace of jewelry, and I didn't think she would abandon her date at the magic of the night ball. But she did those things.

He really should stop and ask for clarification.



she isn't listening at all.

Clark:So, you think it will be right if you are married to Luthor?

He really should ask more questions.

How does she even think her boyfriend can give her unbiased advice on this. It makes no sense.

somehow I don't think Clark is really listening.

If she knows, then why is she even asking Clark. This makes no sense, especially to him.

Clark:To marry? To marry a rich man?

Clark should really ask her directly.

Although, it really does seem she is saying "this is my one chance to marry, if I say no, I might never get another chance". At least based on what Clark knows.

because Clark does not cut in with "how do you feel about him?" and "What do you want to do". at Clark's stupid rush assumptions.

Clark:So are you just trying to make me jealous. What is you point in telling me this?

This really does make it sound like she has positive feelings for Lex despite the negative feelings that Clark has towards him. Even knowing what I do, that is still the only way the last line makes sense.

Clark let her. Let her speak again and clearer.

lunkhead, let her speak.

has she said one word of love. Has she praised anyone but you Clark. Listen to what she actually says.

Clark stop assuming.

stop treating Lois as if she is super shallow Clark. She fell in love with you as Clark, not just you as Superman. She loves you. Aargh, why can't he see that.

at Lois for not trying to start he explanation again.

Clark, you don't have to do anything. Action is not what Lois needs now. She needs a friend to listen to her concerns. Be that friend Clark.

No Clark, there is nothing you can do to make things better except listening to her.

Then tell her to not marry the murdered.

at Lois for sitting quietly and letting him do this, when she said she needed to start over.

at his off the wall understanding of what "the truth" is.

He is going to do something stupid.

Reader:Clark if it isn't "how" or "when" you want, then just plain don't.

He is going to do something so stupid, he will be lucky if Lois ever forgives him.

Considering their actual experience, and the clothes she brought to the Lexor, it makes sense that Lois might expect what is coming.

Why is he such a lunkhead?

Clark, just stop. Just stop. Think before you act.

No, no you don't.

No, he will be glad for not being a total lunkhead.

Then tell her that Clark, tell her "I have wanted to do this for months, but I knew I should wait longer, but with things going how they are now, I fear I will never get a chance."

Then don't do it Clark. Oh why, why is he such a lunkhead?

This is a horrible plan.

Then don't ask for them lightly either. Oh, this is such a trainwreck.

Well, at least that means he does not have it here to use as a stand in ring.

Lois, don't encourage him.

Clark, stop, just stop. She is in shock. You have surprised her too much.

Clark, there is always time.

this is a horrible plan.

This is just a horrible line. Clark, you have no control over her actions.

This is such a stupid idea.

This was such a horrible idea.

Clark, you just failed, totally.

Bakctrack Clark, just backtrack.

she just crushed his heart, totally.

Clark, just stop, stop. You are making things worse.

Lois:If you knew that, then why are you acting so rashly?

Things are getting worse.

he loves her.

this is horrible.

Clark you failed.

He really should point out that that was not his only reason, just the catalyst to act now.

That is not fair. To confuse acting undercover with lying is just not fair.

Clark, just stop making it worse.

this is so horrible.

That is because you Lois have been too focused on Luthor, and not the man who really matters.

But that is how I was raised. It is just as real as any other child adopted nearly at birth's name.

Just tell her Clark.

Start by explaining it. Maybe then she will believe.

This is still a horrible way to explain things. It only says "they are like my parents" to those who know the truth. To Lois, it is empty platitudes, because this is the man who saved Luthor.

that Lois does not believe this.

Ye, you got them talking ... which is what we all wanted. BUT you didn't get it right. They talked about all the wrong stuff, it was horrible. NO!

Clark made a real mess of his reveal/proposal. He was going to tell her and it all would have been fine, but he went off on an absolute tangent with his proposal. And Lois ... I think she majorly over reacted. She's known about Clark, and come to terms with it, for a long time now. She acted as if she'd only just figured it out.

ARGH. They can't get it right at all. I'm guessing that is because the are NOT right for each other. He is the WRONG Clark.

I know we are all probably rooting for them to get together and have a 'happily ever after' but I'm getting the feeling that it's not going to happen. Especially as this is only part 2 of a trilogy. I think that the real Clark is going to come back in part 3 somehow.

Does that mean there will be a time 'reset' again, because, even though this Lois and Clark are NOT soulmates, they HAVE fallen in love. To split them up and bring back the real Clark, but Lois to keep her memory of Alt-Clark would be so horrible. And poor Alt-Clark. If you send him back home with his memory of TRULY being in love with a Lois Lane that will be even more cruel.

*Sigh* And I just realised that if I'm right then we have at least another 100 parts before the final happy ending in part 3 with real Clark and Lois, I guess.

this is the worst possible way for her to tell him.

Now that is just unfair. She knows who he is. A kind, caring individual who loves her. His name is not part of that equation.

Clark:What friend, you hated me then. You wanted to pretend to date me as Clark to be with me as Superman. You were the one who wanted to use me.

Clark:I broke up with you as SM almost as soon as we were partners.

Clark:I was the one who turned down your very attractive and high pressure attempt to get us to make love.

It can't hurt.

Feelings alone are not everything. Lois has told him this before. That is what she told him in Smallville. He should have really listened.

this just cuts me up.

he is speaking the truth. Although he should have

she called him partner.

he speaks of himself as Superman while dressed as Clark.

that her change in attitude won't reall help.

he just opened up to her about what he knows, and all she can do is accuse.

It is true.

He should fight her trap.

Well, her constantly defending him made it seem that way.

this is so unfair. Especially since he did just tell her.

He has a real good point.

Hogwash. She never spent any time with him. She abandoned him on their one date in the last month. She broke up with him on his birthday. Hogwash.

she still loves him.

I wish she would believe him for once.

This is the worst line possible.

No, he showed trust by telling her all he had on Luthor.

He just told her all the key facts.

Hogwash. He constantly tried to tell her, but anything he said she would fight back at him. He chose to avoid fights.

Clark:No, I offered to marry you because I love you Lois. I just rushed because of the proposal.

Is she trying to crush his heart. She clearly is succeeding.

And she crushed his heart. She claims to be doing this for him, but I think it is mainly motivated by her own selfishness.

Perry:I have on multiple occasions said I do not want employees with conflicts of interest.

He has a really, really, really good point. So good, I think Lois should just apologize for being so rude.

finally someone is speaking sense to her.

Perry:How do we know that? The only dates we see you go on are with Luthor.

Perry:And then you flung yourself at a richer, more powerful man. What is he supposed to think?

Lois, you are blind.

Perry:And you don't think he would take you to Vegas and marry you this afternoon if you were willing. Lois, that boy wants you in the worst way possible, of course he would do that.

She really could have been more forceful in trying to explain.

Actions speak louder than words, and when her actions are dating Luthor, well.

Not nearly enough.

People don't feel right about secret relationships, they want to let things be open in the light. If Clark was ok with secret relationships, they could have been making love all last summer. He hates secrecy, and wants to be open about his relationship with Lois.

How, she never said such. She said that she was confused by kissing Superman. She said it was to protect her. She manipulated him into not going public by saying if they did she would be in danger. She never said anything about protecting him.

By making her not bait she was presenting this as a way to not meet the attacker.

Actually, she never made this very clear.

Well, it would really have helped if she told him what she was really doing.

But she did know that Clark was Superman.

I think that should be "he be willing to".

she is really crazy.

Actually, I have to say that this is no worse that in canon, and probably it is better than what happened in canon.

1-Lois loves Clark. In canon she thought she loved Lex. True, she realizes she is wrong, but that is a lot later.

2-No matter how stupid Clark was, he did not do anything as stupid as the "only a lead-lined robe will help" line.

So, while Clark did not get things right. I don't think he messed up anymore than canon Clark did.

*tries to picture Lex in a tutu*

Virginia!!

PS: Someone give John an aspirin - he's gonna need it after all that headbanging-into-brick-wall action....

I remember being blown away when I read this chapter during the beta.

Just wanted to re-read it to see if I'm still blown away.

Yep.

Awesome chapter.

Is Lois channeling Elizabeth Bennett here?

I think this should be "everyone else in the newsroom".

Yes, both were wrong and dealt with this meeting badly. I love the irony of two people who work in the communications field who are so bad at communicating themselves.

Ultra Woman: Thanks for dropping by to share your frustration at...
CLARK: Really, I thought it was spelled L-O-I-S-L-A-N-E, my bad.

Because he has no way to prove it, or back it up with any cold hard facts. For some people, aliens are more believable than inter-dimensional and time-travel. Plus, she told him 'why should she believe anything that came out of his mouth'. At this point and time, bringing it up will just sound like more lies (in his opinion).

Actually, Martha and Jonathan had proof. They knew about the baby with the S-shield who arrived in 1966 via spaceship. They heard Jor-El tell Clark that the globe was attuned to him. Also, it explains why Superman chose a couple of farmers in Kansas as his pet project. Could Clark explain the same thing to Lois? Probably, once she calms down and is willing to listen or believe anything else he tells her.

Or possibly he's knows that Lois *isn't* stupid and she'll remember his earlier teasing that he came to this dimension because of her. So, if he told her he came from Alt-Dimension, he knows he would have to tell her about alt-Lois and canon-Lois in his explanation of "why" he came, and he's afraid that Lois won't see that as a good thing.

Yeah, well, I tend to write stories where Lois always figures it out. I find it insulting to Lois's intelligence if Clark *has* to tell her.

Yeah, well, she's known for her hunches and jumping into things without a plan or back-up. Her back-up here is Cat Grant, who has been (kind of) informed of Lois's plan. You have to also remember (though I haven't shown them recently) that Lois does have some memories of canon and Another Lois time-line, so part of her "logic" and gut-feeling on what Lex is up to comes from her psychic feelings.

Ah. So, Andreia believes Lois and alt-Clark aren't soul mates. So, does that mean that can't forge out a happily-ever-after anyway? Thank you for your comments.

And now for the other side...

mrsMxyzptlk: Thank you for reading and your comments.

KatherineKent: Thank you for your comments.


Yes, this conversation would have gone better if they each said what they had come there to say instead of reacting to what the other said.

Yes, she had forgiven Clark for not telling, she understood why, but then for him to propose without still having told her when she was giving him full opportunity to tell her... pushed her explode button.

Yes, they may not be a perfect fit, but does that mean without a lot of hard work (on both sides) they still cannot make it work?

One of the reasons this story is so long is that I'm telling the ENTIRE story within Book 2. Book 3 is another adventure entirely, using these same characters, or at least, some of them. We will have a resolution of some sort by the end of Book 2.



Clark isn't real?

Kismatt: Glad to see someone caught my humor in this part.


IolantheAlias: Hey, there! Thanks for popping in.
Awwww. Shucks. Thanks.

As I told Iolanthe when she first read this part, this scene and the one with Cat trying to convince Clark he's SM (from ASU) were the reason / inspiration for writing this story. The majority of this part (with some editing) was written before I finished writing Another Lois. It only took 139 parts but I finally got here.

John: How's the headache? Any better? Did you hear that, Nigel? John thinks e-mail accounts are secure from us.

Yes, he is getting better on the checking up on her and his over-protectiveness, but he still has a long way to go. Also, Lois's anger isn't always logical.

Um.... no.

Yes, but Clark doesn't know what she's thinking.

LOIS: Yes, that would have been good.

CLARK: /back during make-out session with Revenge-addled Lois/ Minha, I want nothing more than to make love to you, but I've got to go out for a meeting. While I'm out, why don't you just contemplate what it will be like making love to Superman. Okay? Bye-now.

Canon Lois told canon Clark that she knew in a park. It's symbolic.

Not just in WHALTTA.

CLARK: Right. I forgot she wanted to talk to me about some investigation.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

But she's always interrupting him whenever he wants to tell her his secret. That has to stop sometime.

Well, let's just say, Lois knows how to get what she wants.

She wanted to get his attention and fast about how important what she had to say way. This did that.

Well, Lex killing Lois would have definitely shortened the story, but then we wouldn't have gotten to my wonderful horrible scene.

Canon Lois never felt unsafe with Lex, because she never distrusted him. Lois hasn't shown that she distrusts Lex, so how will Clark know that she feels unsafe around him?

As you said it before, they are both self-absorbed with their own problems at the moment that they cannot think what the other one is going through.

-- Continuation of response to John's FDK --

It's hard to see things from someone's POV if one doesn't understand it.

CLARK: Yes, I see. Hindsight is 20/20. Got that. Thanks.

She's asking him to think about what she's saying as her "partner" not her "boyfriend". Another reason why dating at work isn't a good idea.

CLARK: I think she said something like "Lex Proposed" and then, "Blah, blah, blah, blah. I didn't say no. Blah, blah." At least. That's all my brain could comprehend.

She knows (with her brain) that she should continue her investigation, but her heart is telling her that she shouldn't do this without talking to Clark first and let him know what's going on.
LOIS: So, you're saying I wasn't being clear?

LOIS: No. And No.

LOIS: He knows me. He should know that isn't what I want.

Her brain says this will be the only opportunity to get within the 'belly of the beast' and get close to Lex. Her heart wants to stop this investigation and be close to Clark. Those are the two part warring inside of her. Her career goals and her heart.

How about "Tell me you'll still love me, even if I go ahead with this undercover sting against Lex?"

Because he's forgetting one key aspect of Lois's personality. Her willingness to forgo her personal life for her career aspirations.

Because his life experiences have shown him that good things don't come to him?

This, sadly, is the major contention in many relationships. A woman wants to talk and be heard, and a man wants to give advice on how something should be fixed or take action to fix it.

Clark? Never!
BATMAN: This is why I'm the brains of the Justice League.
SUPERMAN: Hey!
WONDER WOMAN: Don't worry about it, Superman. We only let Batman think that, but we know the truth.
SUPERMAN: Thank you.
WONDER WOMAN: I'm the brains behind this outfit.
BATMAN: No, what I said was 'how do you expect any man to think clearly while you wear that outfit?'
WONDER WOMAN: That's your problem.

LOIS: That he's going to tell me CK=SM? And what does sex have to do with that?

Well, from Clark's POV getting engaged or married is the highest way of telling someone that you love them. It isn't from Lois's POV, because they both see becoming married differently. So, to him, saying "Lois, I want to marry you" is like him saying "Lois, I love you so much, I want to give my whole self to you." But what Lois hears is "Lois, I want you to give yourself to me."

CLARK: Yeah. That would have been better. I must say, I'm not too eloquent at the spur of the moment.

Because he's afraid that if he doesn't speak up he'll lose Lois forever.



Yes, that would be a bad precedent. Also, it's my understanding that men don't re-use engagement rings because if he didn't marry the first woman he gave it to, it means the ring is cursed.

Yes, he hasn't learned from his past mistakes, now how he?

LOIS: Hey, my heart isn't feeling so go either here.

Yeah. There's no coming back from that line.

Yes.

CLARK: /his ego a puddle at his feet/ huh?

CLARK: Clearly, she isn't in any mood to listen to anything I have to say in my defense.

Oh, yeah.

She's talking 'names' not personalities.

LOIS: Yeah. And that made me feel just peachy keen.
CLARK: There's no winning here, isn't there?
BATMAN: I recommend backing away slowly with your hands in a surrender position.

Oh, dear. John's gone off the deep end.

CLARK: But she admitted to knowing the truth. Should I still pretend we're two people?
LOIS: You should have stopped pretending long ago.

He should have told her earlier.

Had Lois defended Lex recently? No.

After she pushed him to it.

Technically, she told Lex the same thing.
PERRY: From what I can tell, nobody knows you, honey.

When push came to shove.

-- Continuation of response to John's FDK --
Partly to prove something to herself, partly to save Clark. And she didn't come out of that scene in the park unscathed either. She realized how much the man she had put most of her trust into, didn't trust her at all.

Yes, Perry has mentioned this before.

PERRY: /scoffs/ That will be the day.

LOIS: Not 'dating' as in 'date', 'dating' as in 'in love'.

LOIS: That she must have a darn good reason for it.

Again, this is about what Clark wants, not what Lois wants.

CLARK: Ditto what John said.

Yeah, well, Lois's idea of love and relationships is a bit screwed up. If you remember, she was willing to date SM last summer in disguise.

Some people who fly in this story have eidetic memories. Everyone else's memories are a bit more fuzzy.

True.

LOIS: Clearly, that is merely a minor detail. Not nearly important enough to share with the woman he loves enough to propose to!

Fixed. Thanks.

But this story wouldn't be as much fun if she wasn't.
ARI: Open up the new ward! We've got a patient coming in!

But canon Lois was not trying to hide from a psychopathic murderer.

Acutally, normally asking Clark to think in these two different phases would work. If she was just dating her work partner things would not be so bad. But when she decides to faux-date her main focus of investigation, she has created too large a mess for anyone to handle.

It makes sense when you explain it, but I still don't see it really flowing from what she actually said, and there is no way that Clark will ever get that from what she said. Not even if Cat can convince him that Lois is just under cover will that follow from what Lois said.

Well, since she has not said anything about undercover or sting, it is really hard for Clark to get that at all.

She defended him as a good person after he had both shot and bought her. She believed him over Brigitte Kahn and whatever sense of investigating the issue Clark had developed. When she flat out rejects his attempts to point out problems with Lex like that, what other choice does he have but to not say anything.

He had tried to trust her with details of the investigation, and she had accused him of being jealous and petty and not listened to him at all.

Although, to be fair, Lois maybe was already using Lex as part of an investigation back then, but even her attempt to get Clark to see her relationship with Lex as like his with Cat just does not work. Clark never presented his relationship with Cat as romantic, but Lois clearly was putting on romantic airs with Lex.

Now I’ve got my new computer monitor. It’s a bit scary. Almost bigger than my TV. On the downside, my Internet connection dumped all over me this weekend. I’m now online via a very round-about hookup that ends with my phone providing LnC-FDK with a lifeline. My provider is telling me a support technician will get back to me within the next two days. And if I’m lucky, some miracle will happen and the connection will fix itself before then. :rolleyes:

I’ve heard that boinking her brains out is supposed to be a miracle cure for her getting over the slight.

LOIS: Maybe us having kids is not the best idea after all. I wonder if that cute FBI agent is available…



Shave her legs up to her hips and get a prescription for birth control?

Up-chuck?

/hands Lois a t-shirt stating: My boyfriend thinks I’m a social climbing whore and all he got me for my wedding was this t-shirt.

I don’t think this is going to end well.
TEMPUS: And to think, all I would have had to do was mix and mingle the Lois and Clarks of the different universes. Herb would have never figured it out.

Maybe it would have been less traumatic for her if he had simply dropped his britches in front of her.

LEX: I beg to differ.



He *wasn’t* born Clark Jerome Kent from Smallville, Kansas. He was born Kal of the House of El, husband of Za of the House of Ra, crown prince of Krypton.

Translation: He’s trying to come up with a convincing lie.

/hands Clark a body-length mirror he can hold up in Lois’s face/

So, he’s never heard about the ‘kidnap her to a lonesome island in the Pacific until she’s come around to his side of the bed’ angle?

Didn’t want to spill the beans to Lex’s newest main squeeze, huh?

/supplies list of choice words/

So, ‘I’m sorry isn’t too far up on his idea list’? Or ‘you were right, I was wrong’?



Michael

Sometimes the best place to hide is out in public.

It's another way Lois is extrapolating Clark's sense of 'super' into all aspects of his life. There's a reason this story isn't called 'Wrong Lois'.
LOIS: Because that would be factually inaccurate. Because I'm *never* wrong... I just mess up sometimes.

As if Lois can always see the truth in what Clark's says.

Neither of those are recently.

Do you mean HERE or earlier in the story? Because HERE, she already knew that Lex was bad and she didn't need to hear that. If you mean previously, it still wasn't really since Nightfall or even the beginning of the year, so not recently at all.

LOIS: To say that there was as much romance between me and Lex as there was between Clark and Cat would be factually accurate, unless Clark lied to me about his relationship with Cat. Just because Lex thinks that there was more going on than there was on my half, is *his* problem not... well, okay, it's MY problem now. more like the aftermath of his crush. Ugh.

I hope everything is back up and working as it should.

True, but usually she has to forgive him to get to the make-up sex.

He meant as opposed to her loving Superman.


LOIS:

That would be bad. /See StopQuitDont's Double Jeopardy / WHAM: it has stuff in it even ERs don't like to read.

LOIS: Sounds quite nauseating.

LOIS: It's now a proven fact that Darth Michael isn't a woman.

PERRY: I've asked her to now get me some cold hard facts.

He was planning on telling her anyway, so he just wants to get points for that.

Because he doesn't want to jump to the logical conclusion, just in case he's wrong?

He's a killer. She was in his car. If she insulted him, it's possible she could be at the bottom of Hob's bay by now.

He was planning on mentioning it on the plane, but Lois made him change his plans.

Investigate the hell out of Lex.

Yes, he makes her nauseous and not in the good way, and all she wants to do is stay as far away from his as possible but that would be running away and Lois Lane DOESN'T run away.

LANA: I have one of those, except it now read's "my EX-boyfriend...", not that I would ever wear it because it was a t-shirt and that would just be tacky.

CLARK: I thought you guys all wanted me to propose.

Hmmm. Sounds like ER and Tempus don't think there's a way out for Alt-Clark and this Lois.

OFFICER: And HERE's your ticket for indecent exposure at a public park, Superman.
CLARK: I knew I should have left the Suit at home.

LOIS: I *meant* and expect her to believe him.
LEX: Oh.

CLARK: Most of what I say to Lois is the truth!
LOIS: It's that 2% that isn't that keeps getting you in trouble.
LEX: Yes, it's much better to go with 98% lies and 2% truth instead. I've always found that ratio to work best with women I want to bed.

Yes, but all that he knows of that is Kal and El and Krypton.

-- Continuation of Response to Michael's FDK --
CLARK: Will you stop using the Luthor 3000 for your translating uses? It has some very inaccurate flaws.

LOIS: Well, duh. I should have realized that. Sorry. Let me rephrase. "Why should I marry you?"
/turns mirror around so it acts like an x-ray to Clark's clothing, i.e. removing them/
LOIS: Oh, right. Sorry, of course, I'll marry you. How about tonight? I'm free tonight.
CLARK: /gulps/ So, soon? Well, better that you die happy than with Luthor. Okay!

Ah, the Stockholm proposal?

CLARK: I didn't *say* that.
LOIS: But that's what you meant, isn't it?
CLARK:

LOIS: Gfic.

Wait. He didn't say that? Ooops?
CLARK:

Um... she just 'quit'.

No, she's doing this because she thinks it's the only way to save the DP. If Lex has been expressing interest in the DP because of her, if she separates herself from the Planet, maybe Lex will no longer be interested in it. It's an end round.

Don't worry, Michael. It'll get better.... eventually.

Or they just have mad fighting sex instead until she forgets why she’s mad?

I’ve only skimmed that one to know what’s being posted. Not really my kind of story, though.

Hmm…neither pregnant nor a clone. Or maybe, she’s a pregnant clone?



CAT: Normally, it would be hot, steamy facts, but given that they’ve been collected by the Ice Queen…

I don’t think that is helping his case.

Hmm…nah, I’ll stick with him being dumber than Tempus.
TEMPUS: Exactly! Wait, what?

So, she’s going to jump right into the danger and Lex’s bed instead?





Not until his twin shows up, no.

Good thing they’re not near a playground?

LEX: “I’m very rich” and “I want you in my bed”?

/checks owner’s manual/ No, it states right here: proven to be 100% correct in translations of pond scum and pocket lint musings.

Very popular with the LnC crowd.





Yes, but that would be dangerous.

The first CW Oliver Queen.

Yeah, but why take her nameplate if she’s really done with the Daily Planet. Or, rather, why take the nameplace if she’s not really done with the Daily Planet. Lex wouldn’t think twice about it either way.

Michael

CLARK: There's other kinds of sex other than mad-fighting sex? Hmmmm. Who knew?
LANA:

That would be quite the twist, wouldn't it?

PERRY: What's this? Moist foggy facts at best. Sorry, this won't do. Try harder, Lane.

CLARK: So, it's not the one who has the most points at the end who wins?
LOIS: No, dork, it's the one who let's me have the most points by the end who wins.
LEX: Well, count me out then unless, of course, someone is willing to sell me their points.

Exactly, What? (or was that Clark / Lois you were speaking for?)

LOIS: He has a one track mind, doesn't he?

Michael

The ARCHIVES say that Wally and Ralph are smarter than Clark.
CLARK:

Not sure she really wants to know what he's saying.

He didn't catch the reference.

Although, now that I think about it, it would have to be 8-9 months and enough time for the child to show extra human abilities (if it ever did).

CLARK: Good thing I'm a patient fellow.
LOIS:

No, there’s tons of examples of Lois calling Clark pocket lint and pond scum.

Oops?

Michael

CLARK: I have no idea why that would be.
LOIS: See, I *am* the brains of this operation.
BRUCE: I've been trying to convince him of that for years.
LOIS: See, even Batman agrees with me.
BRUCE: What? How? Clark! And, Lois, I didn't mean...
CLARK: Just let it slide, Bruce. She figured you out before she even met me, but it was Gotham City, so she didn't really care.
