FDK - The Forbidden Necklace (1/1) - Kerth Challenge #1 - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

See? Sometimes my muse can be humorous!

Excellent!

So good to see my other favorite couple! And *of course* Selina would interpret "forbidden and locked away" as an invitation.

Of course she would! Plus, all that security just BEGGING her to test her skill! Thanks for reading and glad you enjoyed it!

Selena shrugged, her earlier horror and confusion replaced by casual confidence. “It’s not his fault. He actually had it in a really secure vault. Child’s play for a former master cat burglar like myself, but then again, I was always a cut above the rest.”

Lois shook her head. “Well, this has certainly been an interesting evening so far,” she quipped.

Bruce nodded. “So it would seem. I apologize. This is not how I envisioned this night would go. Still, no harm done, right, Clark?”

Clark good-naturedly rolled his eyes. “Nothing wounded except for my pride.” He shook his head. “Come on. We’re going to be late for our dinner reservation.”

NOTHING is more enticing to a former cat burglar than a challenge. One which Selena handled with her usual style.

Honestly, I would expect nothing less from this foursome! Well done!

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it and that it rang true for you!

I must admit, it took me a moment to understand what had happened!

Good job, though! Great idea for a response to the challenge

See ya,

Thanks, Anna! Glad you enjoyed it - and the confusion was definitely intentional!

Starting of without introductions gives it a nice twist. At first i though it was Clark talking about Lois wearing the necklace. And to be honest Lois is perfectly capable of pulling this kind of stunt.

Yep here is the proof, good enough for print.

Bruce laughed. “It seemed…more surefire than a weapon that could easily miss you. Uh, provided I could get close enough to you.

Great little fic, thank you

Thank you, Captainscout, for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the story. I'll admit that I do like to throw a little deception once in a while. You're right, Lois is also of the of the mindset of "don't touch" means "I must immediately touch it."

Hi Vicki!

Necklace stories? My mind goes to the Affair of the Diamond Necklace.

Quote

He told her to never wear the necklace.

Green K stones?
Memory of Claude?
Pearls and he doesn’t want the Batman Jinx?

Quote

Author’s Note: This is in response to Kerth Challenge #1, which had the prompt of “He told her to never wear the necklace.”

Ahhhhh!

Quote

He told her to never wear the necklace. But she hadn’t listened. And now a man was dying because of her defiance.

Lex gave Lois a Green K necklace.

Also, there is certainly a lot of death. /Makes note of Red Hering for Guess the Author/

Quote

And even though she was his wife now, given her history, he hadn’t been entirely sure he could trust her with the knowledge of what powers the necklace held.

I’m sticking with Lex because I’m stubborn and Clark would never be *this* stupid, right? Right? Oh what am I saying!

Quote

He should have known that simply forbidding her from wearing it would draw her like a moth to a flame. If his friend died because of his mistake…

Wait a second! Bruce and Selina? With Clark still being the one dying? Yes!

Quote

Ugh! Why couldn’t she have been content with all of the other jewels he’d given her? Why did she feel the need to touch the one, single piece that was off limits?

CATWOMAN: Meow?

Quote

The poor man was curled in a fetal position, groaning and writhing in agony on the floor while his horrified wife was distraught.

Quote

His wife flinched and shrank back as the two of them nearly tackled her in their haste.

Okay, not Selina. Probably Vicki Vale, then.

Quote

“Selena didn’t know any better. I should have told her what that necklace was capable of.”

/Squints/

Quote

“You made a necklace out of Kryptonite?”

Yes, on a manly leather strap, so he can wear it on fight night.

Quote

“So…I mean…a necklace? Really? Not very manly of you, Bruce,” he teased.

/Points at gold-chain covered gangstas/
BATMAN: Oh, breakfast! /Beat/ I see your point.

Quote

But if you want, I can have a whole slew of other things made

How about kryptonite inlays for the batcrest on his chest? When he goes up against Superman, he will be bathed in sickening green light.

Quote

“It’s not his fault. He actually had it in a really secure vault.

Quote

“Come on. We’re going to be late for our dinner reservation.” The End.

How long until he is invulnerable again? Because they could get robbed and Clark and Lois could get shot in a Gotham alley. And if they do survive, will he be able to take flight again already?

Cute superbat! This was great fun and misdirection
