Also, he can argue that he did not know until warned by his informant. OK, she probably will still be mad, but at least she will not be mad at her for not being attracted to her, well hopefully. Who knows what's going on in Lois's mind? It makes sense. Of course, it is going to be a very tough balance indeed. I am not sure there is any win situation, since at some level she will just be mad that she was drugged and acted this way. True. On the other hand, I think it will really, really help that he was not sprayed. At least then he does not have to explain not reacting and have the added burden of Lois being mad that somehow he restrained himself when she did not. I at least hope that that will lessen her ire. Are you trying to put logic onto Lois's ire? I am also hoping the fact he offered to tell her the truth will be counted as a plus on his side. But he DIDN'T tell her. Clark: That is why I am not sure I am even thinking in hour blocks of getting through this anymore. This is really, really, really tough, so I have no easy solutions. One moment at a time.  Well, except canon Lois did not tell Clark at this point his touches reminded her of Superman. OK, I don't really think she will figure it out from this, I hope, but doubt it will happen at this point. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e015.gif) Well there were her actions that morning, but I guess they are not quite proof that she loves him. Likes him, yes, loves him, not quite. Friendly banter does not = love. Lois: I am sure that Superman should have understood from our conversation on the flight back from looking at his spaceship that I was more attracted to Clark than to him. I mean I mentioned sneaking a peak at Clark's body and learning he had been shot. Of course that shows I care about Clark more than Superman, right? Yes, I believe that is the conversation she is referring to when she says "Superman knows".

Christina:  I was so scared mentioning the curse would scare you off. Phew. Herb, if you had only known what had nearly gone on in Canon Clark's apartment would you be nearly as adamant about jumping on Alt-Clark for just about the same thing? HERB:  Are you saying that my dimension's Clark is human too? Yeahh... an unhappy Clark is probably not that conducive to the future of Utopia. True. Also difficult to have Utopia without consummation of relationship. Clark: <<party>>
Wells: Now just hollld your horses mister.  When I first read that I couldn't understand what old wives' tale you were talking about. It took me a bunch of reads to realize you were talking about the "Man of Steel: Woman of Kleenex" myth. I can't imagine how he knew of that one.
Alt-Clark: It was a running theme in my world. Apparently I was deemed a "sex-threat" and someone decided to spread the rumor that I had to be celibate so that no one could be hurt.
Me: Ouch. (Ok, that above is just my postulation of why it would be an old wives' take in his world... unless there's a Superman variant comic that received the same treatment by a sci-fi writer.)  Thanks.

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Originally posted by VirginiaR: Christina: I was so scared mentioning the curse would scare you off. Phew. Nope. Besides it's canon. It's very possible that Herb might bring it up in concern when there is nothing for him to be concerned with. *shrugs* [QUOTE[ Herb, if you had only known what had nearly gone on in Canon Clark's apartment would you be nearly as adamant about jumping on Alt-Clark for just about the same thing? HERB: Are you saying that my dimension's Clark is human too?[/QUOTE] Surprised to see your hero has feet of Clay? Probably best you didn't see him during some of the other moments too. A pretty good point I would think. I would also think he should have done the same with Lois and Clark BEFORE they got married... unless by undoing the curse before they got married they would have found themself married even EARLIER (say, around the clone arc?) Oh, shucky darn. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing when Zara showed up?[/I] lol. I don't know... I get the feeling she (Zara) might not have been averse to being a "second wife" (since she didn't seem to have any problem with him having a "concubine" in Lois.) This one's the point I think Wells should have done. It's not like he hadn't done so before. I mean, he had to do it when Lois and Clark consummated the marriage in a different timeline (i.e. his own). He didn't want to have the "Lois will die, here's the proof" argument again. He's trying to stop it from happening at all. His heart's in the right place, his execution is off though. Way, way off. I think he underestimated her attraction to Superman counteracting the (outwardly) negative attraction to Clark. It's that triangle effect of his soul that balances out those perceptions. He did. He's making up for it now. Wells! I can't believe that you believe this to be true. You yourself TOLD him that nothing is impossible! He DOESN'T say it.  But he's quite flumoxed on what to do to undo this scenario. He nearly said it and that's almost as bad. He certainly THINKS that it's impossible. You know, I was thinking on this. If I remember correctly, isn't his world different from the Canon/this one's world due to a robbery? If it's the one that happened in Smallville then maybe there's some hints in his own as well. THIS dimension is different in canon, only because that Kal-El died as a baby, so no Clark. Alt-Clark's alt-dimension diverted from canon back in around 1850. Why hasn't been mentioned. The robbery of Smallville's Bank by Tempus happened in 1866. <<after the split>> Thank you for clarifying. I don't know why but I get the feeling the divergence between Alt-Clark's timeline and canon-Clark's timeline will be a significant point in the future. I'll split this one into two. It looks like the break before Clark heads into the apartment's a good spot to cut out temporarily. Thanks. [/QB] And on to the new FDK from me: Clark steeled his nerves as he stood before his front door. He had no idea what he would be walking in on, but he knew one thing, for certain: his desire would kill Lois. *sigh* I can't believe he's taking Wells seriously. Alt-Clark: Wouldn't you if the only chance at love meant killing them? It was just like Herb to touch on Clark’s old fears, inadvertently as it might have been, fears Clark had put to rest more than a decade before. He squeezed his eyes shut in agony. He could still have sex, but he couldn’t touch the one person who would change sex into love. And that reminds me a lot of the "Casanova" effect. Have you ever seen the mini-series with David Tennant as a Giacomo Casanova? In it, his character falls for the one woman he would never be able to marry (who ultimately leaves him.) He runs into her a few times but never again attains what he had once had with her (an equal in AND out of bed.) She was the one woman who might have been able to tame him (but had to leave him.) After that came a string of flings. I don't expect Clark to do that but the unrequited love thing kind of struck me similarly. He took another deep breath, reminding himself of two things: one, Lois was drunk on love and not herself, and two, if he allowed himself to be turned on by anything he saw inside his apartment, Lois would die. He might’ve chanced it if he knew he would be the one to die. At least, he’d be guaranteed to die happy. Clark: Death by worshiping my love, what a way to go. Actually, there was a third thing. He couldn’t let Lois out of his sight. He didn’t know if the drug would cause her to be interested in anyone else. Don't want the Scardino effect, huh? (not that I expect her to be attracted to Scardino the way she is to Clark.) Now that Clark knew she was drugged, the differences in her behavior seemed to hit him over the head. Her lack of curiosity or concern of where he had been and what he had been doing, had been the main distinction. You know, that's something that I hadn't thought about being part of the pheromone compound. The strength of trust that comes from it. That she didn't need to know where he went to for example. “Remember how back when I stayed the night during the whole Barbara Trevino scare,” she said. “You suggested that I should start moving in.”
That wasn’t exactly what he had said. Actually, he had thought she hadn’t heard him recommend that should she keep a change of clothes at his apartment, just in case. Clearly, a part of her had heard him. And probably at least saw the logic of such an idea. “That’s a terrific idea, Lois,” he replied, despite his tone not matching the enthusiasm of his words. He knew that Lois was apt to burn his clothes in a bonfire as soon as she recovered. So he's still taking to clothes to her place. Interesting “Or,” Lois said, turning her whole body against him. “Should we make love first? Then take your stuff to my place and make love again over there. In the morning, we could bring my things here.” MORE than once? My Lois, on the pheromone you're positively insatiable. “Work first, pleasure later.” Much, much, much later, if he was lucky.
“Makes Clarkie a very dull boy!” Lois finished, punctuating her words with a poke to his chest with her finger. LOL “That may be true,” he admitted. “But if we all followed our hedonistic desires, minha, no work would be accomplished, the Daily Planet would fold, and we would be destitute.”
“That would be sad. I hate feeling sad,” she said. And it sounds like you might be getting through to her. “Lois, all your stories help people. It’s one of the things I love most about you, how you give your all on a story, how you never give up, and never rest until the story is written and the people are helped,” he said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and giving her a squeeze. And the honest truth is the best way to get through to her. Clark cleared his throat and stood up, so she’d fall to her feet. “My partner sits in her own chair,” he reminded her, pulling out a chair for her.
“But it’s so much more comfortable in your lap,” she complained.
He pointed to the chair. “Sit!”
She sat. Pheromoned!Lois: Maybe if I follow what he says he'll like how obedient I am and make love to me. Not to mention, take-charge Clark is SEXY. mmmm *sighs dreamily.* Instead, Lois clapped her hands together with delight. “How wonderful!” she gushed, scooting her chair closer to his to give him a kiss. “Everyone should fall in love. It’s such a wonderful feeling. I’ve never been happier.” I'm reminded of Amy Adam's Giselle from "Enchanted." It's not really that far off, is it? “I tried calling to you… no, not you… Superman, but he didn’t come. You both had left Metropolis. Ralph knocked me to the floor and tore open my shirt…” Her tears poured out in earnest now. Subconciously, she's starting to put two and two together about Clark and Superman it seems. Her fingers started dancing across his chest again. “Maybe if we made out for a while, it would take the edge off and…” More likely it would heat things up further. Pheromoned!Lois: Oooo I love it when he gets growly like that. It's so sexy. “Harrumph,” she said in frustration and pouted, crossing her arms. “I’m beginning to think you never loved me. If you really loved me, you’d be loving me right now!” This is one of those things that makes me worry about how she'll take things after it wears off. I seriously think she'll believe that Clark didn't want her in an intimate manner because she had given him permission at one time (that I don't remember her rescinding) to take advantage of her the next time she was compromised. “Lois, I’m not going to discuss this with you right now. I’ll be more than happy…” he lied. “— to discuss this when you’re feeling better.” And if she's in the mood to discuss it after she's clear-headed, Clark? What then? He thought for a moment. Perhaps he could compromise without really doing anything that would endanger Lois by activating his desire. “What if I rubbed your shoulders?”
Lois grinned, jumping to her feet. “I’ll go get undressed and lie down on the bed.” Pheromoned!Lois: Oh goody, I'm going to get a full-body massage. mmmmm. Alt-Clark: Um. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested that. “Am I still your minha?” she asked softly, gazing up at him. Pheromoned!Lois: *petulantly* You haven't been acting much like you think I'm yours. I almost wonder if you've changed your mind about us. Clark didn’t need Miss Loose-Lips Lois, which this pheromone induced version seemed to be, to tell everyone about his secret identity. C'mon Clark, the only thing she seems to be in the mood to be outspoken about is her love and desire for you. I seriously doubt that knowing your secret would be a recipe for her to shout on the rooftops "I'm in love with Superman because he's Clark Kent!" She had been more than happy to tell him all her secrets, anything he asked actually. Only to you, Clark. I seriously doubt she'd be this vocal about her fears and desires if it was anyone else. She had been more than happy to tell him all her secrets, anything he asked actually. She and Jimbo never got married in her past life. She did promise that he'd be her fall-back if I remember correctly.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Christina: Yea. More! *sigh* I can't believe he's taking Wells seriously.
Alt-Clark: Wouldn't you if the only chance at love meant killing them? It makes sense to him. It isn't like this is the first run of bad luck he's had in life. He feels like it's just par for the course. And that reminds me a lot of the "Casanova" effect. Have you ever seen the mini-series with David Tennant as a Giacomo Casanova? In it, his character falls for the one woman he would never be able to marry (who ultimately leaves him.) He runs into her a few times but never again attains what he had once had with her (an equal in AND out of bed.) She was the one woman who might have been able to tame him (but had to leave him.) After that came a string of flings. I'm not familiar with the series / show. Although the only way I could think that the "one woman he could never marry" meant that they were kissing cousins. I don't expect Clark to do that but the unrequited love thing kind of struck me similarly. Um... no. Despite Cat telling him to the contrary, Clark is no Casanova. I know the curse is annoying, but it makes for good angst. CLARK: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Clark: Death by worshiping my love, what a way to go. CLARK: If I *had* to die, that's the way I'd choose. Don't want the Scardino effect, huh? (not that I expect her to be attracted to Scardino the way she is to Clark.) CANON CLARK: Could you refrain from mentioning that man's name, please? I'd really appreciate it. Thankfully, PML didn't become a federal drug case. You know, that's something that I hadn't thought about being part of the pheromone compound. The strength of trust that comes from it. That she didn't need to know where he went to for example. LOIS: I was just happy he returned! And probably at least saw the logic of such an idea. LOIS: Of course, it's logical to leave a change of clothes at my partner's apartment in case of emergencies. CLARK: As opposed to moving in with me, in case of an emergency... Actually, now that I think of it. That works as well. LOIS: Actually, I think "Sit" is a canon line and reaction. I'm reminded of Amy Adam's Giselle from "Enchanted." It's not really that far off, is it? Giselle is a bit Revenge-addled. I got that movie for Christmas (FINALLY!). Maybe I should take a few minutes and reward myself, and actually watch it. I wonder where I put it? Subconciously, she's starting to put two and two together about Clark and Superman it seems.  More likely it would heat things up further. CLARK: Of course I realized that. How much of a lunkhead does she think I am? Actually, I just read an old comic where Lois thinks she got a blood transfusion from SM and dreams about becoming super powered. "PowerGirl" <<I mention OLD, right?>> Then she gives Clark a blood transfusion and he becomes "PowerMan", but he's a hopelessly horrible superhero. Always messing up. It definitely shows SM that his Clark "mild mannered reporter" disguise works well. PowerMan still wore his glasses, just added a pencil thin mustache, BTW. Pheromoned!Lois: Oooo I love it when he gets growly like that. It's so sexy. This is one of those things that makes me worry about how she'll take things after it wears off. I seriously think she'll believe that Clark didn't want her in an intimate manner because she had given him permission at one time (that I don't remember her rescinding) to take advantage of her the next time she was compromised. Nope, never took it back. The offer was made during the Invisible Man case, when he didn't take advantage of her when she was drunk. It goes to show what a good man Clark is by still not falling into that trap. “Lois, I’m not going to discuss this with you right now. I’ll be more than happy…” he lied. “— to discuss this when you’re feeling better.”
And if she's in the mood to discuss it after she's clear-headed, Clark? What then? He'll discuss it with her, but he still won't be "happy" about it.  Pheromoned!Lois: Oh goody, I'm going to get a full-body massage. mmmmm.
Alt-Clark: Um. Maybe I shouldn't have suggested that. I'm thinking a non-pheromoned Lois might like that as well. Sounds good to me. Pheromoned!Lois: *petulantly* You haven't been acting much like you think I'm yours. I almost wonder if you've changed your mind about us. Pretty much! Which is why Clark is trying to walk that very thin line. Admitting that he still cares for her, but no physically affection. C'mon Clark, the only thing she seems to be in the mood to be outspoken about is her love and desire for you. I seriously doubt that knowing your secret would be a recipe for her to shout on the rooftops "I'm in love with Superman because he's Clark Kent!" Um... Didn't that happen to Ghost Clark? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e025.gif) LOIS: Not from the rooftops. I was down on the street. But in my defense, there wasn't a Superman, so nobody cared what I yelled. Only to you, Clark. I seriously doubt she'd be this vocal about her fears and desires if it was anyone else. He doesn't know if she might feel the need to open up with Perry. She and Jimbo never got married in her past life. She did promise that he'd be her fall-back if I remember correctly. Yes, but in her dream, she was remembering them checking into the Lexor together as (undercover) man and wife. Only she didn't remember that it was only an assignment.

The ran into each other a handful of times but it was always fraught with sexual tension that was never again relieved. They seemed to be the epitome of star-crossed (at least as the mini-series made it out to be.) It's by BBC and it's really good. I'll look for it. You know, I do remember it a little but it was in a slightly different context. First, this is taking place at his apartment. Second, it's in the context of wanting her to do something specific (i.e. conform to what he thought of as the usual Lois... at least as it pertains to work.) Yes, I changed the context, since Lois doesn't visit canon Clark's apartment until day 2. It might show how good of a man he is but I'm sure it doesn't quite help him on the Lois relationship front.
Lois: But it doesn't hurt either. It might. But that would require Lois to think rationally about everything. That's true. I'm wondering whether she'll end up undercover with Clark or Jimmy for this round though. Both are logical. Perry might be trying to protect Lois's heart from Clark by sending her with Jimmy. Or he might continue the charade that was almost the case originally (i.e. putting Clark and Lois in the suite as "married.")

“Fine. Never better,” Clark said. “What did you find in the past?” CLARK: <please let me boink Lois. Please let me boink Lois. Please let me boink Lois.> “Tempus accidentally erased himself from existence.” It’s commonly referred to as an ‘Oops’. And Captain Piccard calls it a temporal paradox. “Well, yes, Clark. In doing so, Tempus broke this universe’s timeline. We cannot go back further in time than the instant Tempus disappeared. ![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9f/Loctite.jpg) That Superman must have saved some direct member of Tempus’s family, without whom Tempus cannot exist. Or, maybe, Lana’s daughter married Tempus’s great-great-grandfather instead of him knocking a stripper addicted to meth, thus preventing the birth of Tempus’s great-grandfather. “Or,” Herb suggested. “Tempus may have given you a chance at a better life?” By introducing him to a series of Lois’s Clark isn’t allowed to consummate with? “So, I don’t have any competition for Lois’s heart? She’s mine, free and clear?” Without waiting for a response from Herb, Clark grabbed his hand and shook it with glee. /clears throat/ “I should tell Lois!” Then he stopped as if by some fleeting thought. “No, first I need to…” ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/verschiedene/b075.gif) Condoms! ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/n022.gif) A 20-pack! He came back a second later, shook Herb’s hand again, and disappeared once more, Huh? What else? Also, he just dropped some cash at the drugstore? Won’t they notice that and sell the story to the Whisper? And return he did, two minutes later, in a gush of wind and with a small paper bag in his hand. Ah, that’ve been ye condoms. What was the first trip? “We’ll catch up later, Herb, right now I have…” Some consummation to do? “Neither you nor Miss Lane were affected by the pheromone based perfume sprayed around the newsroom today, then?” Herb inquired. CLARK: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/g025.gif) … ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/s045.gif) … ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/traurig/a065.gif) “She forgave me. She loves me,” he said adamantly, pointing at Herb, before his voice dropped to almost a whisper. “Doesn’t she?” He raised his gaze to Herb’s beseechingly. “Doesn’t she?” Ugh-uh. “She begged me…” His hand dropped. “I’m such a fool.” Yes. She doesn’t want you. Not even if you where the last man on Earth besides Ralph and Lex and her father. Well, maybe if Lex were dead. It would depend on how long Lex would have been dead already, I guess… We kissed and…” His eyes widened before he swallowed. “Oh, God, no! Lois will never forgive me.” Michael

He had no idea what he would be walking in on Good thing he hasn’t been watching porn huh? He could still have sex, but he couldn’t touch the one person who would change sex into love. Don’t you just love the irony? Plus, if he *had* all the sex he could get, he *would* die. Lois would make sure of it. He might’ve chanced it if he knew he would be the one to die. At least, he’d be guaranteed to die happy. Actually, if that had happened, he would have first been happy, then miserable, and then have died. Actually, there was a third thing. He couldn’t let Lois out of his sight. He didn’t know if the drug would cause her to be interested in anyone else. With him, at least, she’d be safe. He scoffed. Now. Michael

Michael: Wow! Look! It's Christmas again already. CLARK: <please let me boink Lois. Please let me boink Lois. Please let me boink Lois.> It’s commonly referred to as an ‘Oops’. And Captain Piccard calls it a temporal paradox. Did he erase himself? I know he turned himself into a Borg... <<picture of early super glue>> So, he's stuck? Or, maybe, Lana’s daughter married Tempus’s great-great-grandfather instead of him knocking a stripper addicted to meth, thus preventing the birth of Tempus’s great-grandfather. LANA: No, that didn't happen here. I think that's Female Hawk's story. By introducing him to a series of Lois’s Clark isn’t allowed to consummate with? ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d025.gif) HERB: .... er... um.... Hee-hee. Clark: <<has brillant idea!>> Condoms! <<Every part of him jumps for joy!>> A 20-pack! Yes, that's pretty much what happened. Huh? What else? Also, he just dropped some cash at the drugstore? Won’t they notice that and sell the story to the Whisper?...
Ah, that’ve been ye condoms. What was the first trip? No, the first trip he realized he forgot to say goodbye to Herb and came back before reaching the drugstore. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e010.gif) CLARK: No … What? … <<shakes head trying not to cry>> Pretty much. Yes. She doesn’t want you. Not even if you where the last man on Earth besides Ralph and Lex and her father. Well, maybe if Lex were dead. It would depend on how long Lex would have been dead already, I guess… CLARK: Kick me while I'm down, why don't you? At least he got a chance to clear up whether she looked *just* like the stripper or not. Her bra had still been on. (Gfic) /waits for Herb to describe in detail what all Clark’s not allowed to do/ Actually, is he only not allowed to do full consummation, i.e. acts that could result in her getting a couple days maternity leave? CLARK: <<crosses arms and waits for Herb's explanation>> That's a good question. I wonder what the answer is. Eventually? No killing the time travelling meddler, Clark. That’s bad luck. And Cat and Lex. Perry might have some input, too, maybe. CLARK: No! Just me and Lois! CAT: Darn! PERRY: As long as it doesn't affect your partnership... LEX: <<rubs hands>> Let's turn these camera back on, shall we? JIMMY: What are you guys all talking about? Superman’s wives don’t *get* old. So he has a series of trophy wives with short shelf lives? yeah. Is Superman already a widower? Zara's dead? Lois wouldn’t be *happy* if they hadn’t by now. Umm… would not have in the future? Will not…? <<bangs head due to time travel math>> Yes, if canon Lois and canon Clark hadn't consummated their relationship during their honeymoon, in the future, she wouldn't be one happy camper. Canon CLARK: What about me? I've been a very patient fellow. The reason we now have the Home series. But didn't that Lois die of old age? Wouldn’t that be a twist, Lex shooting Superman with a Kryptonite bullet the morning after he consummated with Lois? It's always a possibility. That’s where I realized the concept posted in FDK #72. That's one possibility. Or you’re already in the left fork of the road previously travelled. No, you might not have gone there. Also, normally, the curse only applies after you’re married and have known Lois for several years. And she’s been cloned. And you’ve been cloned. And gotten married to some alien skank. Umm…where where we? CLARK: Then we're safe then? Actually, couldn’t they soul travel back? Or, what if they went to another universe, moved back in time there, then jumped dimensions back to this one and lifted the curse. And/or fixed the timeline? Another possibility, only problem is would alt-Clark travel back to True Clark's Charles or disappear because he doesn't belong in this dimension? Or would it not work at all because there is no "past" before May 1966? Maybe Herb could start using heroine, like Sherlock does? CLARK: Like that would help me in any way. Right. Like a Clark would be turned off by a spunky Lois. She’s a challenge to him. Just like she’s to Lex. CLARK: Duh! LOIS: <<wincing>> Please don't say that. It worked pretty well in Missing Lois. Therefore, been there, done that, so not going there again. Sorry. Wrong incarnation. Her soul is like the soul of his mother to him. Possibly, or Carlos *isn't* the reincarnated soul of True Clark, he's just a doppelganger. Right. Like that’s not going to turn him into some weird serial killer with a brunette M/O You mean a serial killer like that from... oh, what was the name of that movie... <<quick internet search>> ****SPOILER**** Sea of Love.

-- continuation of Response to Michael's FDK -- Good thing he hasn’t been watching porn huh? So, he wouldn't already know? Don’t you just love the irony? As a matter of fact, I do. TEMPUS: A woman after my own heart. Plus, if he *had* all the sex he could get, he *would* die. Lois would make sure of it. That's a possibility too. CLARK: Although, she might actually be remembering her future. Or be thinking of something differently than he is. No, unless that hotel-room-law is still in effect. She doesn't remember that they were undercover at the time.

Wow! Look! It's Christmas again already. Also, spoiler? /is painfully aware of slight backlog/ No, the first trip he realized he forgot to say goodbye to Herb and came back before reaching the drugstore. Right. He thought that Herb would be gone by the time he got back from consummating. CLARK: Kick me while I'm down, why don't you? NOR: That’s the most fun. Also, I’m not from Earth, so I’m sure I can also qualify for taking over Kal-Els concubines. quote: At least he got a chance to clear up whether she looked *just* like the stripper or not.
Her bra had still been on. (Gfic) quote: /waits for Herb to describe in detail what all Clark’s not allowed to do/ Actually, is he only not allowed to do full consummation, i.e. acts that could result in her getting a couple days maternity leave?
CLARK: <<crosses arms and waits for Herb's explanation>> That's a good question. I wonder what the answer is. Sounds like he’s a tad desperate for a loophole. quote: Right. Forgive him.
Eventually? Probably after she has forgiven Ralph and her father. CLARK: No! Just me and Lois!
CAT: Darn!
PERRY: As long as it doesn't affect your partnership...
LEX: <<rubs hands>> Let's turn these camera back on, shall we?
JIMMY: What are you guys all talking about? Also, Lex is so helpful. It’s just like with other sports. The training videos are a great tool for helping the athletes improve their form. quote: Superman’s wives don’t *get* old.
So he has a series of trophy wives with short shelf lives? Every time Lois learns of one, another wife dies. quote:yeah. Is Superman already a widower?
Zara's dead? Canon CLARK: What about me? I've been a very patient fellow. You saying you’d be even remotely as ticked off as Lois? quote: The reason we now have the Home series.
But didn't that Lois die of old age? Was thinking about the entire soul mates concept in general. CLARK: Then we're safe then? Only one way to find out. Herb! Another possibility, only problem is would alt-Clark travel back to True Clark's Charles or disappear because he doesn't belong in this dimension? Or would it not work at all because there is no "past" before May 1966? So, maybe he should wear a crash helmet? CLARK: Like that would help me in any way. I thought this was about making sure the elderly gent gets enough sleep? quote: Right. Like a Clark would be turned off by a spunky Lois. She’s a challenge to him. Just like she’s to Lex.
CLARK: Duh!
LOIS: <<wincing>> Please don't say that. Duh or Lex?

So much for the Pavlov conditioning being humbug… <<cough>> Originally posted part on Dec. 25th. <<cough>> No. Not directly. Well, not until the series finale of TNG. And there it was more actually Q who did the erasing of evolution on Earth… I liked Q. He was very Tempus-like. Was thinking more like, maybe if he used superglue on the broken timeline? CLARK: Who said I wanted to fix it? HERB: <<raised hand>> Also, spoiler? /is painfully aware of slight backlog/ Not really a spoiler, more of a hypothesis which will probably turn out to be in-valid. Right. He thought that Herb would be gone by the time he got back from consummating. Er... shopping. NOR: That’s the most fun. Also, I’m not from Earth, so I’m sure I can also qualify for taking over Kal-Els concubines. LOIS: No! CAT: I don't like angry men. alt-RACHEL: You're under arrest for breaking... well, every law out there. alt-LANA: So, I hear you run your own colony? Sounds like he’s a tad desperate for a loophole. Well, since Herb said the alt-dimension loophole had been closed... Probably after she has forgiven Ralph and her father. LOIS: Right. :rolleyes: I'm never forgiving Ralph. Dad's... well, family. I don't have to forgive him, just act like it sometimes. Nope, I guess Clark comes first. CLARK: <<dance party>> I'm not the biggest lunkhead she knows! Also, Lex is so helpful. It’s just like with other sports. The training videos are a great tool for helping the athletes improve their form. LEX: Cheaper than pay-per-view, and once I send in my assassin more entertaining too. Every time Lois learns of one, another wife dies. LOIS: I am NOT a mass murderer. I'd just kill him and be done with it. CLARK: Don't you realize that by killing me, you're technically also killing all those people I would have the potential of saving? LOIS: Who would you save? A little old lady crossing the street. Please, Clark! You saying you’d be even remotely as ticked off as Lois? Canon CLARK: er... um... well, no.  Was thinking about the entire soul mates concept in general. Right. CLARK: Then we're safe then?
ER: Only one way to find out.
Herb! CLARK: <<sigh>> Can't I ever hook up with Lois without his help? So, maybe he should wear a crash helmet? Um... thinking more that it wouldn't work at all. CLARK: Like that would help me in any way.
ER: I thought this was about making sure the elderly gent gets enough sleep? CLARK: He can sleep on his own time. We're talking about an eternity without making love with Lois for me! I take priority. LOIS: Both! Right. Same face. Same costume. Same mission. Same town name. Has a thing for orphan boys. Hmmmm. So, I'm not being subtle enough? And BTW, there are girls at the orphanage too. I’ve never heard or read about that one. Sorry It's a good Al Pachino murder mystery movie from the late 80s or early 90s. Of course, you'll have to wait another decade to forget who did it. No wonder this Lois likes pizza so much. LOIS: I don't watch porn! I read romance novels. So, that’s what we commonly refer to as a lose-lose-situation? RALPH: But he'd get a lot of sex before he died? Sounds like Win-Lose to me. No, happy during. Miserable the next day, when Lois gets her faculties back and makes him miserable. Then die when Lois gets her hands on another gift from Lex. Oh, I just figured Lex would give Lois another gift before she recovered. No, thinking more like she’s only moving in pieces that don’t take a lot of room when taken individually, and thus, also the sum is still pretty space-friendly. LOIS:  But then what would I wear to work in the morning after staying the night at Clark's? Isn’t that what Clark means in Kryptonian? Incidentally, the reason why Superman befriended Clark… CLARK:  We do NOT have that type of relationship! So, it’s okay for her to move in with a Clark as long as she keeps the semblance of independence? Only one way to find out… Isn't that a bit risky? That would defy the entire concept of concubine, huh? Only if you mean consummate as in marriage. LEX: <confused> I’d make sure the body was never found of course… CLARK: Don't go there. No, it’s just odd that you don’t like keeping your clothes *on*. LOIS: I'm working on it! Geez!

AUDIENCE: *cough* Whore! *cough*
ER: Yes, he does. Also, running a colony is like running a planet, only for little men. Is there a joke here I'm missing? Colony of little men? Ooooh! He got one of those Alt-Loises with mad gun skills? Will she and Lois and Clark…? No, no. Not a Lois-assassin. Ripping out the root of the problem? LOIS: Looks like someone remembers how Lois was those first months after she met Clark. You know, after several years of uuuuhhhh abstinence. CANON CLARK: Several years! Ha! I've had a lifetime. LOIS: Ooooh. Candy! /watches as Herb hands Clark an IKEA manual/ Well, that explains a lot. /eyes EW manipulating a wooden beam fit for the mast of a 16th century galleon/ Don't worry, I'll be more frustratingly subtle in the future.  So…those tapes had been left by Lucy when she moved out? LOIS: <<knocks box into closet with her foot>> I have no idea what you're talking about. I just meant for the underwear drawer. She still gets to put in microskirts and tank tops in the remaining drawers. That sounds more like Clois wear. Ah-ha! I now know the error that they made in making Clois. CLARK: [Shock] We do NOT have that type of relationship!
LOIS: <<extremely frustrated>> It explains *sooo* much. No, no. Clark and Superman's relationship ISN'T like that. Not Lois and Clark's. You win some. You lose some Lois? Also, don't little children sometimes go through a phase like that? Mine out grew that stage, mostly, by the time we got the to school.

I always thought of NK as a colony because for some reason from Zara's (or was it Nor's) description, I thought NK was on a barren piece of rock, and not really a "planet" per se. I never said it wasn't a thing. I just said, it ain't happening here. CANON CLARK: Several years! Ha! I've had a lifetime.
LOIS: Ooooh. Candy!
ER: Yes, but he’s a guy so… Umm… he is an emasculated guy, so… <<cough, cough>> I meant, Lois was referring to virginal Clark as candy... not that she was distracted from Clark by a box of DFCBs. CAT: I think there’s a recommendation for a second helper on page 4 of that assembly… You know that's really funny, because if I was writing this on the other side I could... well, I'm not, so we're not going to go there. Oh, and Michael, ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/traurig/k055.gif) LOIS: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/boese/a055.gif) WHAT? Do you THINK that's even remotely a possibility? No, it's not. Not funny. Not funny in the least. CLARK: <<blushes sheepishly>> LOIS: What's that supposed to mean? CLARK: What what supposed to mean? I didn't say anything. LOIS: It was all the way you didn't say it. CLARK: What? LOIS: Exactly! <<storms off>> CLARK: <<following>> But, Looooooiiiiiisssss.... CAT: I prefer different male to female ratios. JIMMY: Well, I could... CAT: Not happening. JIMBO: What about me? CAT: :rolleyes: As if that makes a difference.
