Another great tale, Lynn. I loved how you had the agent make that ridiculous claim to Lois as a backwards way to let Clark know he had figured out his secret. Um... Nope. Didn't work. Clark's too confident in his disguise. Lot of fun.

Also, happy Mother's Day.

Loved it! This completely makes sense! If anyone should recognize a disguise, it's a guy who disguises people for a living. He doesn't know Clark, he only knows Superman, so the first thing he would see is Superman in disguise. And he doesn't know about the clone gangsters running around town, so it's funny that he's still trying to figure out why they came to see him.

Bwaaa haaa haaa!!!
Poor, sweet Dean Cain. Accents aren't his strong suit. I've been writing about Barry for so long now, I can't think of him as anything but the Vatman clone.

Thanks for adding another story to the challenge!

Virginia, I'd say Sammy was being too clever by half in what he was trying to do. But it seemed to fit the story.

Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes; they are doubly appreciated since my son is incapable of giving me such wishes himself. And I hope your Mother's Day is going well, too.

Susan, I agree wholeheartedly with all of your analyses.

Thank you both for the feedback.

This is great! Awesome job, Lynn .

Such a creative take on the talent agent. And YES--this so much makes sense! Of course the agent wouldn't fall for the Clark Kent/Superman disguise. Having Barry as his client, he'd totally 'see' Superman in Clark. He would be the one to figure it all out...

Wonderful fun while checking in on the boards tonight. Thanks, Lynn .

And a last minute Happy Mother's Day to all of you.

That agent was pretty sharp. Thanks for the early morning chuckle!

Hello Laura and Morgana,

My apologies for the delay in responding. It's been very busy at work, and I've been barraged with paperwork both at work and at home. Long story short, I haven't had a lot of free time the past few days.

Laura, I'm glad the reasoning made sense to you. As fun as the scene on the show was, it just never sat completely right with me. This challenge spurred me on to fixing it.

Morgana, my pleasure. I love it when one of my stories brightens someone's day.

<restrains Lois from decking the guy>




Awesome little tale. Love the fact that the talent agent is seeing him in the role of being in costume. Great way to spin things around!

Hi DC,

Thanks for the feedback. It made my day.

Hi Lynn! Looks like the next update in the serious. Well, earlier post in the series. Whatever…

Straight to the point, huh? Makes me wonder, did he immediately recognize him, given his look-alike work?

He did!

Maybe he got bored of picking up women while standing around in a bar, dressed as Superman and is instead looking for a challenge?

See?

Like extensive facial reconstruction, as they did on the fake Lois?



Smart one, that one.

Trying to score with Lane, of course! The hard way.

Cute one!
