Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: House of Cards - Part 8

Neat part. And I'm glad Martha has another woman to talk with about her son.

How come Lois didn't pass along Dr. Klein's advice for Clark to spend lots of time in the sun? I kept waiting for her to say something and she never did. Was she that rattled by Clark's insistence that no one experiment on him?

If that's true, then she's risking almost everything in taking that hair to Star Labs. Clark might be so mad that he never speaks to her again! (At least, until the next chapter.)

Oh, just so we're all on the same page, hair shafts do not contain complete copies of DNA. In order to get a good sample, at least part of the hair root must be attached. But I'm sure Dr. Klein can find that tissue without much difficulty.

I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, because I'm not. This is a very tender story and I'm waiting impatiently for the next post.

Oooh! You posted!

Noooo! Not weirder. *Better* He should be staying with her and... you know, since there's only one bed, they can share. *lol* OK, so I'm jumping the gun a little bit....

Ya know... if she wanted to make a little easy cash, I'm fairly sure she could have women lined up for a few dozen blocks for a chance to slide into Superman's bed for even just a sec... I'd certainly stand in line for that. Much better than thrill rides at Six Flags!

*sniffles* Come back, Clark... Come baaaaaaack!!

Thanks for a nice, calm part - not once did I want to go and kick Clark in the shins. *lol* But then, I'm sure there will be more of that in the future, won't there? *giggles*

DJ already knows how very frustrated and unhappy I am with Lois on her stubborn refusal to say anything to Martha about GETTING CLARK OUT IN THE SUN! I don't care if she promised him she wouldn't say anything to his parents! I'd rather have him alive and angry with me than DEAD!

Ahem. Sorry. I get a little too involved sometimes. Let me do some deep breathing exercises and I'll quote a few favorites. If I were Lois, I'd need something a little stronger than creamer in my coffee if I was sleeping in Clark's (or Superman's) bed. Even if he isn't there at the time. Martha is the best! K. Callan was so amazing in the role - and the scene where she comes over to see Lois in WHALTTA is one of the best in the whole run of the series. You captured that same essence so well in this part. <sniffle> Geez! Just standing in his bathroom is sexy - imagine if he were actually there...

We don't have much longer before they're back together and things heat up - right? Right?!?!

Excellent post. Although I agree with Terry and Sue that I really expected Lois to say something to Martha about him being in the sun.

Lois is going to be in so much trouble... can't wait for the next post!

Jo

hey you only posted once this time

ooh he calls her once a day!! that's so sweet! you know Lois, I would be looking forward to that too
*lol* lovely really. Lois and cooking?!
yeah and ...maybe... they could live there *together* when he comes back?

Ooh that bathroom scene that was just aaaww and oooh!! If they only talked about how they felt... hmmm

Lo-is!! So she's taking the lock of hair, I wonder what Clark gonna think of that...

Great part. I love the part with Lois & Martha. I was also expecting Lois to mention about Clark being in the sun.

Jackie

Ooh, Lois... You're gonna be in trouuuble... :rolleyes: As usual.

I would not want to be there when she explains to Clark how Dr Klein has some of his DNA.

But I'll read about it!

This was a wonderful part. I can't wait until Part 9, DJ! Soon, please?

~Anna.

DJ wrote a new chapter!


--Laura

Yeah! A new part!

I was so upset that lois didn't tell Martha to get Clark out into the sun. I was also disappointed that Clark really did go to Kansas. I half expected him to be ay his apartment when Lois arrived. Please let Dr. Klein hurry up and find something for Clark.

Now you either need to get Clark back to Metropolis or get Lois out to Smallville.

~Sheila

Oh, Lois. You are going to royally tick off your partner when he finds out that you scooped up some of his hair and took it off to STAR Labs for Dr. Klein. I predict a huge blow-out fight before all of this gets resolved. If only Clark had gotten to meet Bernard when Lois did. We all know he's very trustworthy!

I wish Lois was the one taking care of Clark when he's sick, but maybe after Dr. Klein mixes up a cure, she'll be flying out to Smallville to come to his rescue. Something tells me that Clark's sickness is going to get worse before it gets better, but I hope my prediction is incorrect!

Another great installment of the story! Keep it coming!

Hello everyone!!!

First, let me address everyone's chief concern - Lois not telling Martha about the sunlight. Remember that Clark asked Lois not to mention anything having to do with the Kryptonite or Dr. Klein to his parents. And she promised. She's already lost his trust once... I don't think she would risk it again flippantly. She's expecting to talk to him the next day. Not to mention, she's nervous about telling him that she talked to Dr. Klein again. Will he even be willing to listen to what she has to tell him?

She's in a dilemna here and is going to have to work through it the best way she can. She's already stepped over the line by taking the hair... but she reasons that Clark doesn't have to know about that (unless she tells him).

Okay - now on to fdk! <g>

Hi Terry! So glad to see you are still reading! Thanks for the fdk. For the purposes of this story, we'll pretend Clark's comb ripped a hair out by the root and it got stuck to his bottle of hair gel, how about that? <g> No, you don't sound like you're complaining! Please, keep me on my toes - I like it. <g> Thanks!


Lara! LOL!

I like one of your comments you made on another part... something about her tripping and falling beneath him on the bed. LOLS.

<giggles>

I don't know - you tell me... you've read the next 3 parts. <g> Thanks Lara!


Hi Sue!

<pat, pat>

Yes, I know. I've aggrevated the heck out of you with this story. Poor thing. Although, I did just send you part 10, which has the beginnings of some nice waff in it.

Awwww! Thank you so much!

LOLS!!!

Like I said above... go read part 10. <g> Thanks Sue!!!


Hi Julie! Thanks so much for the fdk. Yes, don't worry, the sunlight hasn't been forgotten.


Hi Camy! Yes! Only one post. Hee hee. So glad you enjoyed this part... especially the bathroom scene. <g> Yes, what is Clark going to think of that? Hmmm.... Thanks for the fdk Camy!


Hi Jackie! Thanks for the fdk. Yes, that pesky sunlight... don't worry.


Hi Anna!

<snort> Try writing it. <g> Hopefully I wrote it believeably. LOL - already begging for part 9? By Friday, I hope.... <g> Thanks for the fdk!


Hi Laura S! Hee hee, you're cute.

Yay - I'm so glad you read it that way. That's the way it was supposed to be. <g>

Heh - just wait.

Awwww, thank you Laura - my goodness... you're going to give Babbles a big head. <g> Thanks for the fdk!


Hi Sheila! Awwww... so much disappointment for you. I'm sorry. Hang in there... 2 more parts and you'll be into waff. I promise.

Yes, ma'am. One of those coming up very soon - but I won't say which one. <g> Thanks for the fdk!


Hi ignoredsins!

Hmmm... you know, you could be right... one just never knows. <g>

Now just how mean do you think I am? Hmmm? And I have promised a lot of waff coming up. Thank you for the fdk! Glad you are enjoying it. <g>


Thanks again everyone! Part 9 should be out by Friday. <g>

Oh dear. I come back from vacation and this is what I find? Sneaking around with DNA?!? Well, at least they're talking...which might end again after Operation DNA, LOIS! Anyway, great couple of parts! One of these days I'll leave better feedback. What can I say, it's summer, and I'm on vacation til the end of July.

JD

Hi Terry,

It's a bit late to start commenting, but I've just caught up with this story and I wanted to tell you that I'm enjoying it a lot.

To tell the truth, I'm glad I wasn't reading as you were posting the earlier parts, as I'm sure you would have driven me to biting my nails.

But it seems that Clark isn't out of the woods yet and he's getting sick again. Maybe Lois won't be in trouble when he finds out she's kept talking to Dr Klein, even when he asked her not to. He might just be glad that Dr Klein is there to make him well again.

Now I'm waiting for the next part, and not very patiently.

Yours Jenni

It's way past bedtime, so I won't comment fully. (Although I'm so happy you posted. Was it just for me? Shucks!) But I did want to say this--in a voice reminiscent of my favorite Christmas episode, "Lois is in trouble. Lois is in trouble."

Elisabeth

Again I'm sneaking just a few minutes here, and I have absolutely no time to quote. But I think Lois did the right thing when she brought Clark's hair to Doctor Klein. She trusts Klein because she ultimately trusts her own father, who recommended Klein, and she believes that Klein is the one who can possibly save Superman from the Kryptonite scourge. I can see that Clark may feel horribly betrayed, but he simply hasn't got enough infomation to make an informed judgement here.

I disagree with Lois's decision not to tell Martha to make sure that Clark spends a lot of time in the sun. It could be absolutely critical for him to get enough sunlight, and Clark can't know that unless someone tells him. Since Clark wouldn't speak to Lois, she should have told Martha instead.

But I can see Clark going ballistic over Lois's "betrayal" as she took his hair to Doctor Klein! Gaahh! You'd better fix this sooner rather than later, DJ!

Ann

Hello everyone! Yay! More fdk!!!

Hi Jenni Debb!

Hmmm.... were you just saying hello to Terry, since he started the thread? Or...

Oh no... <sighs and shakes her head - the rumors Sue has started about me are taking hold. People are beginning to think I'm a man... although, Terri - with an I - can be a woman's name... \Babbles peeks her head in - yes, but she didn't use an I, did she?\ Oh, shut up, Babbles. This is probably your fault. You've been moonlighting under a pen name, haven't you! I'll get you for this - Terry Babbles!>

Okay, sorry for that complete bit of silliness. I swear I haven't been drinking... No really! It's only 9 a.m. here... what kind of person do you think I am?

LOL.

Okay, really... *ahem* Pardon me. Seriously, Jenni, thank you for that lovely fdk. I'm so glad you decided to read the story and are enjoying it. Nail biting? Really? Cool! I'm flattered.

Thanks for the fdk - and maybe your impatience won't last much longer... I'm thinking of posting the next part today. <g> I said "by" Friday.


Hi Elisabeth! LOL - reminds me of when I was a teenager and still living at home and I wasn't supposed to read too late at night... so I would sneak a light under the covers and read. I usually didn't get caught. <g> And I oftentimes stayed up way too late.

What?!

I was a pretty good kid. Sneaking mystery stories till midnight isn't too bad... is it? LOL. Thanks for the fdk, Elisabeth.


Hi Ann! I hope you are having a fabulous time. But I'm so tickled you sneaked in to leave me some fdk. Hee hee. I'm so glad you can *see* so many different things from the character's points of view. Makes me feel all giddy. Fix it sooner than later? Why, yes ma'am! I'll get right on that! In fact, I'll be posting part 9 shortly. And like I've told all of you before... part 10 begins the waff. So hang in there!

Thanks again everyone!
