Hi Annie! Just saw this pop up before it’s time for bed, and I couldn’t resist

Okay, actually, it’s past time for bed, but…no A-plot!

Quote

Clark walked down the street, trying to ignore the strange looks people were giving him.

He wearing a cowl and a black cape?

Quote

Okay, so Superman didn’t usually walk down the street with the rest of the population of Metropolis.

Oh, cape but no cowl. Maybe he’s going to buy flowers for his date?

Quote

and his wedding ring, zipped into a pocket under his cape — and if he put those on, the strange looks he was getting now would look like nothing.

Yes, wedding band on Superman – I can just see the yellow press going ape crazy.

Quote

That call for help, as it turned out, had been nothing more than an excuse for a prankster to expose him to Kryptonite, then run off, giggling.

Quote

As he reached the final intersection before the Daily Planet and waited for it to be safe to cross, the stares and whispers turned to exclamations and pointing at something other than him.

An out of control bus hurtling toward Superman?

Quote

To his shock, Superman hovered about three stories up, surveying the crowd indifferently. Ignoring the Don’t Walk sign, Clark stepped into the street.

So…oops? Also, going to get rescued?

Quote

Had he been cloned again? Was this a New Kryptonian who had been left behind, looking to help him

Quote

The other Superman shook his head. “Pitiful. Did that Kryptonite make you lose your memory?” He came closer, stopping two feet from Clark, his expression mocking.

Ooooh!

Quote

“There are rules about impersonating someone!”

Only officials. And when it comes to shopping. Okay, maybe Clark’s 17 y/o daughter having a fake driver’s license to get into clubs that sell alcohol might also count.

Quote

At that moment, Clark’s powers kicked back in. Ignoring the sudden deafening babble of voices and other city sounds, he lunged at his opponent — and went right through him.

Oooooh! The other Superman learned to vibe. J.K. I did wonder if it’s a hologram, but thought, nah…

Quote

She’ll never guess who succeeded in finishing her — and I’ll let the law deal with her. It’s a brilliant move that only I —“

Wait, People vs Lois Lane?

Quote

In a flash, Clark was in the nearby alley. He grabbed Jefferson Cole by the shirt, hoisting him into the air. “What were you saying about Lois Lane!?” he shouted.

So, memo to self – don’t talk about your plan like some crazed super villain where Superman can hear you?

Quote

Cole dropped his tape recorder. “Memo to self,” he squeaked. “Never make plans when Superman is around.”

Quote

Clark set him down, tearing an arm off the man’s shirt and using it to bind his hands behind his back.

At first, I read – ‘tearing an arm off the man’. Oops?

and even Mindy Church without any clothes.

Quote

“It’s a hallucination machine!” Cole shouted, his face turning red with fury. “You’ll never be able to hold me! I’ll be out in a week!”

Maybe if they stuck his feet into a freshly floored cell? You know, up to his ankles in concrete?

Quote

“No! She’s nothing! Just a cocky little reporter who ruined my life! I should have killed her then.”

So, he trying for life?

Cute untwist!

LOIS: You mean, now I never get to enjoy Clark in a seedy motel room?

CLARK:

Michael

Lol! I love this!

Jefferson Cole! Good call. I love it when the lesser-used characters have their day!

Yay! AnnieB is back!

Jefferson Cole is such a twit! He continued threatening people when the officer told him to be quiet, all of that is gonna be used against him. It is great to see a minor character used rather than Lex, Tempus or Mindy Church! This gives a neat little slice in the life of Clark Kent, plus he gets to write it up as an exclusive and share the byline with his wife. Love it!

Isn't Panem coming up soon?

Hilarious and brilliant!

A great untwist for PVLL/DLW! I absolutely loved seeing Cole turn purple over the Hologram/Hallucination/Halloween issue. XD

Very funny! It's always entertaining when a villain can't make up his mind.

Quote

“You didn’t catch me! Superman caught me! He’s like me — a higher level of humanity.”

“Really?” Clark asked. “And here I thought I was a cretin. At least, that’s what you said a few minutes ago.”

“Imbecile!”

“Not a higher level of humanity after all.” Clark gave Cole a look of mock disappointment.

Thanks for the laughter. I needed it. Now, how will I sleep with sore cheeks?

What a delightful, brilliant untwist to that plot! Cole is something else, and you captured his arrogance and confusion with humor.

I'll be smiling all day. What a nice way to start the week! Thank you!!

Nice story, VERY silly villain. But I'm trying to remember which episode Cole comes from and drawing a complete blank..?

later - never mind, checked Wikipedia, I remember him now.

Marcus,

People vs Lois Lane and Dead Lois Walking.

Mike

Cute, really cute!

A delightful story that made my day!
It is really nice to see the hologram thingy put to good use, err... bad use!! This kind of stupid villainy is quite entertaining and a par to the show!
Thanks a lot for this story.

Late to the party but I'm catching up on some reading.

AnnieB, this was hilarious. I loved the interchange between Cole and Superman, particularly the constant hologram/hallucination machine bit.

Thanks for sharing!
