Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Man Under the Suit, Part 11/31

Feedback goes here. Smoochies on Monday.

BTW, Queenie's request was to see Lois and Superman together. She didn't specify what I had to do with them after that. I have an idea where I want this to end up, but we could have a lot of fun with them between here and there. So, if there's anything you've been dying to see L/S do together--no, not that, I already told you I don't do nfic--now's your golden opportunity. Put your request in here. Not promising it will work for the story, but you never know.

Is it because he’s being too carefree with his money?

Well, she already didn't approve of *two* personalities. Now her son has *four*.

First of all, I just have to say that "Norbert Enterprises, LLC" makes me chuckle when I read it.

I'm insanely curious about Martha's attitude towards Clark and his aliases. For that matter, I'm very curious about Smallville in general. IIRC, Smallville is off limits to Clark Kent fans and reporters alike. My wild speculation for the day is that I wonder if his home town is 'in the know'?

Interesting that Martha is required to call her son by his chosen alias. That's kind of ... strange and I get that it doesn't sit well with her. As a mom, I tend to side with Martha.

Gee, you think? I definitely get jealousy vibes here. I really, REALLY want Lois and Martha to meet without Clark or Caleb around. Please?

Close call for Clark Kent! He is right to be worried - there's no way Lois wouldn't know it was him.

I love that Martha is in town! And I can't wait for her to meet Lois! I really liked the conversation between Clark and Martha - interesting how she is not that impressed with some of Clark's choices.

More soon please!

OOooh! I was absolutey *STEAMED* on Lois' behalf when Clark and Lana pulled that stunt.
He'd better make it up to her somehow.

And Luthor! Yikes! Do I sense A-Plot on the horizon?

Hap, you are doing so well, and thanks so much!

Well, first of all, I was really happy to see this:
I've been thinking for a while now that Martha and Jonathan would likely not only disapprove of Clark basically dismissing "Clark Kent" but would probably be hurt by it. It's like a rejection of their name and their family. In fact, I'd even had a reference to it in my feedback to part 10, but took it out before posting. So I was really excited to see it addressed here; it's like you read my mind.

And, as I *did* say in my last feedback, I hope Lois is ultimately able to help Clark figure out how to take back his name and be proud of it. The fact that Clark is saying this to his mom gives me great hope.

As for the rest of the chapter ... Ohhh boy on Clark sneaking out on Lois at the book signing. Why do I think this is going to come back to haunt him? He's going to have some explaining to do when she figures out who is really is ... I think she'll understand, but probably won't appreciate that he actively avoided her to keep his secret.

And now we have Lex! Smart thinking on Clark's part to fly out with Pete and Lana. Lex will never think to look for him in Metropolis now. But he will surely run across Caleb Knight as he stalks Lois ... the question is, will he have the same face recognition deficiency as the rest of the universe? For Clark's sake, I sure hope so.

Come on, 12! You can't get here soon enough.

I especially like what I think of as the "game" of Clark trying to avoid meeting Lois again as Clark Kent. In any other situation, this would be manipulative and cruel, but here Superman has been honest with Lois about wanting to hide one side of himself, so I can excuse Clark's actions as long as they only frustrate Lois, not actually hurt her. I'd like to see the "Clark Kent" persona continue to do supposed "favors" for Lois but continue to avoid ways to meet face-to-face. And of course she blames it all on Lana!

And add me to the list of people hoping to see a meeting between Martha and Lois, especially an accidental meeting where Lois has no idea who she is meeting. This fic is so much fun!

Dum, dum, dum.....(ominous music)

Lex Luthor is a worthy adversary. Why do I think that bad things are going to come out of him having Lois shadowed?

Part 12 coming up.
