This is based on an idea I've been kicking around for a while, now. I wrote it tonight and it's unbeta'd, so I hope it's okay. Please let me know what you think. peep

Confused. It sounds like HG is in the wrong time.

What I got from it was that this was Clark's grandson, also named Clark Kent, who apparently looks very similar to his grandfather, and that Wells has unknowingly showed up in the wrong decade and thinks that Clark III is the original Clark. So our Clark is "Gramps" and has to explain to his grandson that Lois's maiden name was Lane, that he shouldn't worry about going with Wells in his time machine, etc.

All very cute and clever. Especially the part about Wells freaking out because Clark is married to Trish, not Lois. LOL.

The part that totally lost me, though, was the two references to "I know you punched Hitler in the face". Absolutely no idea on that one, and it made me question whether my interpretation is correct. Is this completely AU and Gramps was around during WWII? A reference to an episode scene I'm forgetting or a fanfic I haven't read? You're going to have to enlighten me because I can't figure that part out.

That was HYSTERICAL! I laughed out loud and startled my dog!

"Yes, Gramps, I know you punched Hitler in the face!"

Has to be a reference to the WW2 comics. Funny.

He doesn't know Grandma's maiden name off the top of his head? Why should he?

This was great! I love the one-sided phone conversation going on here. And I love the way it encompasses three generations of super-men. It appears that this Clark has not yet picked up the red-and-blue-and-yellow mantle, but apparently Wells is going to try to get him to do exactly that.

Where - or, more precisely, when - does Wells want to take Clark? Why wouldn't Dad give him more specific advice than this? Who the heck is Trish? And does she know any part of "The Secret?" Is she going too, or is Wells going to try to hook Clark up with some other Lois?

I wonder if he's his own grandfather? Nah, that's just too weird even for me.

Or - is it?

Love it, Queenie! It made my day. Thanks. And don't change a word, you hear?

This was fun! I think I got most of it, but did wonder why the other Clarks wouldn't help him out more, too.

This was funny! smile1

I got it, Queenie, and I thought it was great.

And hooray for little vignettes, because that's all I have time to read these days and I need my fix. laugh


This *is* my happily ever after.

I got it, too, Queenie. You always bring a smile to my face. You do have a knack for comedy!
