“You truly thought that after everything that had happened between us, that I would throw myself at you in such a wanton fashion?” Sandy: "But there's... NOOO where to run! I'm hopelessly devoted tooo you!" Lois: Oh shut up you. “And did I really…” She closed her eyes before proceeding. “Crawl across your living room floor on my hands and knees to you, like some wild animal, begging you to make love to me?” I can just imagine how much worse this might have been for Alt-Clark than Canon Clark. If Canon Clark had gotten the same visit from Wells he might have acted this way too, it's just that things were not quite the same level of heat between Lois and Clark as Lois and Alt-Clark.) He had been lulled into complacency with the thought that Lois was acting more like herself, wanting to be professionally dressed before interrogating a suspect. Then she had leaned against his archway, wearing the highest heels he had ever seen on her feet. She ran her hands up her legs, pulling her skirt to the top of her thighs for a moment before continuing to move her hands up her chest to her neck, and finally through her hair and into the air. *Imagining a Marilyn Monroe-type motion* *Alt-Clark is ever so glad that he had been unaware of her movies until recently* Clark had turned towards her to protest this behavior and noticed she only wore the negligee and high heels. His mouth had fallen open as he stared at her. His willpower was at nil; below nil actually, since he stepped towards her, wanting nothing more than to touch the goddess before him. *Alt-Clark moves to Lois like a moth to a flame* Wells: Hold your horses mister. Instead of being super sexy in those heels though, she had stumbled, and he had to use an ounce of super speed to catch her before she landed on the floor. That was when he realized that it had all been part of her plan, because she took advantage of his proximity to push him to the ground and sit on top of him. As she started to kiss him, she had taken his hands and coasted them down her practically naked body. For one second, a millisecond, he succumbed and moaned with pent up desire. Canon-Clark: *drools* If Lois had done this you can bet I wouldn't have held out to morning. Canon-Lois: And you would have found yourself out of a job the next morning. Clark had pushed against the floor... I'm sure that pushed him even closer to her for a second before (probably) dumping her (mostly unceremoniously) on the floor. and scampered backwards away from her. She had stared at him like a ferocious lioness, licking her chops, and crawled after him. I get the feeling this would have been even MORE hilarious than the episode actually was. Lois buried her head into his throw pillow. “Tell me again what you said when you left?” she mumbled, refusing to look at him.
“‘If I stay, Lois, you’ll never forgive me, and I’ll never be able to forgive myself’,” he replied. That's actually really romantic. Wonder which spin she's placing on it. Lois (v. 1): He doesn't want me at all. He's just trying to sugar-coat things so he doesn't hurt my feelings. Lois (v.2): Awww, that's the sweetest thing he could ever do for me. Lois stepped between him and the archway to the kitchen, and set her hand on his chest in a way that he still sent waves of desire down to his toenails and back up through his hair. “Thank you, Clark,” she whispered. “Thank you for not taking advantage of me.” Probably even more erotic than anything she might have done on the pheromone because (at least to him) it's fully Lois and fully REAL. Clark guiltily felt as if he had taken plenty advantage of Lois, especially since he knew that if Herb hadn’t interrupted them, he probably would still be crying over her cold, dead body at that very moment. “Any time,” he replied, his voice rough. “That’s what friends are for.” I can't believe he's placing himself in the friend zone like this. I also think that making Wells come back a few WEEKS after the event and not a few HOURS after being warned away unnecessarily cruel. He's acting like there's no hope for the two of them when I suspect that most certainly is NOT the case. Friends, the closest they could ever be, and the last thing he wanted to “just” be with Lois. Never thought I'd see the say when Clark would leave himself in the friend zone (and to be clear, I HATE that phrase but it's rather apt at this point.) Lois’s soul still burned with the embarrassment of her behavior and Clark’s rejection. She was glad she had decided to fake total blackout of the last few days. It allowed them an out to return to how their lives were previously. I know you said that they are (maybe) a 95% percent soul match (or did I say that?) but I really think they may have lost 5% through this encounter. Why couldn’t he have been affected too? Then at least they would be on a level playing field, and possibly in a new relationship, So it's fairly obvious to me that she would have taken the opening given by the pheromone if given half the chance, even with the partial secrets that still lay between them. That Clark had been warned away probably killed that possibility (at least at this time and likely sometime into the future.) “I think you’re next up on the docket as our test subject, Clark. Maybe I’d like to see what pheromones do to you for a change,” she said. I can just imagine the "evil!Lois" look on her face (I've only seen it in a comic or two of Superman's Girlfriend: Lois Lane"). Lois: Wouldn't that be fun to have a Clark Kent uninhibited and making love to me? *sighs dreamily* Lois turned towards the front of the store to call the police, only to hear her partner mumble, more to himself than her, “You already have.” Revenge has nothing on Lois Lane. (of course a Revenge-addled Lois is an enhanced Lois when it comes to inihibitions) She spun around. “What did you say?” She's going to be thinking about Clark's comment for a LONG time to come. “Are you jealous, Chuck?” she asked, leaning towards him. “Because you had your chance, and you didn’t take it?” Yep, sounds like he may have shot himself in the foot in her eyes. “Still, it’s a nice honor,” Clark was saying to Cat, as he flipped through the magazine. “I’m sure he’s flattered.”
Lois rolled her eyes. She was sure Superman didn’t care one way or another. Goes to show what you know, Lois. “Yes,” Lois said, lowering her voice. “Apparently, when I was drugged last week, I called the Lexor and made reservations for the honeymoon suite over Valentine’s Day weekend. I got your confirmation letter in the mail today, and I would like to cancel. I’m not getting married now, or anytime in the near future, and I refuse to pay twelve hundred dollars for the privilege of spending even one night in your hotel.” I like your version of how she ended up in the Hooneymoon suite. I had always wondered if the "It was the only room available" had more to do with a certain billionaire upgrading her room surreptitiously. I think I like your version better. “Lois, are you going somewhere?” called her nosey partner from over at his desk. She should have known she wouldn’t be able to sneak away without him noticing. I always found it neat that he was the first to notice she was getting ready to leave. Perry took the letter out of her hand. “Darlin’, this is for the honeymoon suite,” he announced with a sidelong glance at Clark. Perry: Now are my two best reporters have an undercover tryst I'm not being made aware of? She was able to make it two steps before Clark blocked her path. In a soft voice he asked, “Are you checking in alone?” He loves her and yet won't become involved with her (purportedly because of the curse.) He has no RIGHT to ask her that question. Oh, heavens! He was just asking for trouble. She put a pout to her lips. “Chuck,” she crooned in her best Revenge addled voice, as her fingers danced across his chest. “Don’t you remember? You promised me we would spend tonight together as husband and wife?” She turned suddenly, slamming him in the gut with her briefcase. “Of course, I’m checking in alone!” He deserved that. Lois: *nods* “Thanks, Perry,” she said with a nod. She picked up her bag and headed for the door. Her eyes automatically drifted over to Clark’s, and she noticed he was staring at her, his expression unreadable. Without saying another word to anyone, she turned towards the elevators and her night full of tears, misery, and broken dreams. Two hearts crying out for each other. The gulf of the curse lay ahead of them. (Personally I think it's simply a little valley but until Wells says otherwise it might as well be a great huge chasm.)
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.

CLARK: Right, the perfume. True, but at least this way he cannot be blind sided by someone else telling Lois about this and having him accused of being a liar, again. Another reason to be 100% truthful about this. Of course, maybe it would have been better to do it all at once. She will still feel some of the embarrassment when he does finally tell her, or she figures it out. CLARK: True, I could have, but since she apparently will never forgive me for all my sins, it would be better for her protection if I didn't tell her my secrets. If we were just friends, I would tell her someday, but if we're in a relationship, it's best that she know as soon as possible. Clark, I think you had better tell her before she figures out. CLARK: Phishaw! She won't figure it out. I wear glasses. Clark: Hey, I have made it nine months, I can make it a little longer. I will tell her once things are right.
Reader:Which at the rate you are going, will be never. CLARK: No, not "never" in the strictest sense of the word. Your explanation that Lois remembers all of it but does not really see that she was acting out of character makes her later actions make sense.
She may at some level know that Clark did the right thing, but she still feels rejected by him and that hurts. Yes, that's pretty much where Lois is at this point. Between being embarrassed at almost giving in, knowing he can't have her, and figuring she is still mad, Clark is not showing that he truly, deep down loves her. How is that?  Even some not very big city's have such egregious rates. It is a popular thing to tax since the politicians can tell their constitutients "we just raised the hotel tax, a tax you don't have to pay, becuase you never use the hotels hear in our fair city, so it won't effect you."  I guess her "he finds me attractive" line did suggest that. Lex is always good for making Superman / Clark jealous. Well, since M&J know he is a time-traveling visitor from another dimension, it would not be too difficult to explain the curse to them. At least compared to explaining it to anyone else. Possibly, but it's not exactly the easiest subject to bring up.

Christina: You're all caught up.  Hey, look time to post another part. Sandy: "But there's... NOOO where to run! I'm hopelessly devoted tooo you!"

*Alt-Clark is ever so glad that he had been unaware of her movies until recently* Of course, now that Cat has exposed her to him... Now he's going to be dreaming of the Marilyn Monroe movies with Lois in the Marilyn roles. I can't believe he's placing himself in the friend zone like this. I also think that making Wells come back a few WEEKS after the event and not a few HOURS after being warned away unnecessarily cruel. He's acting like there's no hope for the two of them when I suspect that most certainly is NOT the case. Clark is thinking "better friends, than just co-workers".

I know you said that they are (maybe) a 95% percent soul match (or did I say that?) but I really think they may have lost 5% through this encounter. Hmmmmm. Oh, dear. Mostly because Lois had (seemingly) been more than half-hoping he'd take her up on things (and he would have had the pesky Wells-and potentially the curse-got in the way.) Because of that, Lois is believing he's not interested in her as more than friends (which he is, but he can't act on it thus-"friend zone") I can just imagine the "evil!Lois" look on her face (I've only seen it in a comic or two of Superman's Girlfriend: Lois Lane"). Naughty/Evil Lois expression shows up once or twice on LnC. <<especially during Season Greedings>> Good point. Revenge has nothing on Lois Lane. (of course a Revenge-addled Lois is an enhanced Lois when it comes to inihibitions) True. But what Clark means is that she has already seen him actively wooing her, since that's what it feels like he's beeing doing since the beginning. Yep, sounds like he may have shot himself in the foot in her eyes. Let's just say that she's torturing Clark to even the playing field once more. Sadly, I don't see how that's evening the playing field. Sounds more like she's goading him for his actions to me. I always found it neat that he was the first to notice she was getting ready to leave. CLARK: I notice everything about Lois. CAT:  Aren't those to the silliest, Cat? They are so totally in sync it's not funny and yet they are trying their darndest not to admit it!
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm 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.

So you think Herb is going to return in a few weeks? Interesting. I thought that's what you had said. Maybe I need to go back and re-read the chapter with Wells. I think this is getting confusing because of the way time travel is working here. Wells did return in just over a week, before. However, sine he then went back and changed the best, the future to which he went no longer exists, so he does not show up. At least I think that is how it works.

He hadn’t left out a single detail. LOIS: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Now he’s discovering truth. “Did you really not realize that I had been drugged until your source told you?” she inquired with a quick glance in his direction. No? “You truly thought that after everything that had happened between us, that I would throw myself at you in such a wanton fashion?” /points at Clark/ Guy? “You were very convincing. We’re just lucky that stuff wore off before you had a chance to…”
Lois turned her sad, embarrassed eyes towards him.
“… further humiliate yourself,” Clark finished. May I please slap him silly for that thing? You do *not* tell a woman she’s humiliated herself. Not if you’re hoping to get any more. “Crawl across your living room floor on my hands and knees to you, like some wild animal, begging you to make love to me?”  “After you stripped out of that navy suit with the red blouse that reminds me of…” my uniform. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a045.gif) He had been lulled into complacency with the thought that Lois was acting more like herself, wanting to be professionally dressed before interrogating a suspect.  “Are you saying the only chance I would have had with you is while you were under the influence of a love drug?” Clark countered, his voice sounded hurt. Ooooh! Just like Ralph and Lex! Anyway, we don’t know that Miranda was murdered. It looks like suicide to me.”
Clark held out his hand. “Five bucks?”
Lois grinned and shook his hand. “You’re on!” Wait, would Clark bet on someone just having been killed/committed suicide? Also, Lois was completely beside herself when they discovered Uuuuhhhh Doc Rocketscientiest in the pilot. And a strangulated body looks quite ghastly. They had this scene in Mad Men. Lois should be very subdued. She picked up the paper and read it through again. “Or possibly she had been upset that Lex had rejected not only her new perfume, but also her personally. Yes, she was engaged in some rough sex with Lex, and then, she committed suicide when she got sent home with a 50 in her pocket. . . . Right. Clex strangled her. At first I read it as someone strangled her unconscious before turning her into a dreamcatcher, but actually, there’s no proof how she got up there. It really *could* have been suicide. Maybe even one due to the 100% solution.

Anyway, Lex is the third richest man in the world and has been at the top of Metropolis Magazine’s Most Eligible Bachelor list six years running; he doesn’t need to stoop to murdering an ex-girlfriend.” LEX: But it’s *fun*! NOR: Lois picked it up. “Superman named Metropolis’s Most Eligible Bachelor? Please!” She shook her head. “Didn’t those idiots even speak with Superman? He’s ineligible because he doesn’t date. It would be like nominating the Pope or Mother Teresa.” Did Lois just emasculate Superman right next to him? “Still, it’s a nice honor,” Clark was saying to Cat, as he flipped through the magazine. “I’m sure he’s flattered.” Clark! “Hello, White House Press Office,” a woman said. Huh? It was a low-ball question, but at least she could check off her to-do list ‘interview the last five sitting presidents’. How many other reporters could do that?  Michael

Michael: Since I just sent 91 to Beta, let's see if I can squeeze another FDK response in before dinner. LOIS: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Now he’s discovering truth. <<Maniacal Laughter>> Clark blushes sheepishly. CLARK: phew, I knew that there had to be a valid excuse. May I please slap him silly for that thing? You do *not* tell a woman she’s humiliated herself. Not if you’re hoping to get any more. Why not? Canon Clark did. Yep, Clark will never be able to see Lois in a business suit again without... /checks date to see if it’s Dec 21st, 2012. And you complained when I jumped forward just one week while Herb was in town. Awwwwww, the poor girl needs a bubble bath, a hug, some Clarkie time, and then her Clausy bear. So, if she invited Clarkie to join her in the suite and had to pay an extra $250 for that honor, does that make him a male prostitute?

Since I just sent 91 to Beta, let's see if I can squeeze another FDK response in before dinner. Oooooooh! almost a 100 already! quote: /points at Clark/ Guy?
[Clap]
CLARK: phew, I knew that there had to be a valid excuse. Strangely enough it was the one she wore that day in canon. /goes checking/ Right. For some reason, I visualized the suit as color matching the underwear. quote: Tough luck. Now he’s stuck in the ‘she’s married to my best friend’ friend zone
[Huh] Who is she marrying? Superman? /scratches head/ I *think* I was referring to Canon-Lois there. Future Canon-Lois. Married to Canon-Clark. Well, that's a 50/50 chance now, isn't it? quote: Ooooh! Just like Ralph and Lex!
CLARK: Just the company I wanted to be lumped with. Neither of them actually met Miranda. Didn’t they meet her in the elevator for a minute or two? Yes, that was the point. It doesn't matter how rich a man is, he could still be a psycho. BATMAN: Hey! quote:
“Still, it’s a nice honor,” Clark was saying to Cat, as he flipped through the magazine. “I’m sure he’s flattered.”
Clark!
What? He can't be flattered? Well, it’s unseemly to blow your own horn like that. Also Lois would be much better at doing it *for* Clark. quote: 1. to bring to completion or perfection; fulfil
2. to complete (a marriage) legally by sexual intercourse
So, it can't be the first definition? [Wink] ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a015.gif) /goes consulting wizards and spells dictionary/ It was to be a honeymoon. Did they only need the one night. Clark’s pretty fast. He can squeeze an entire fortnight’s worth of activity into a single night. quote: How about Ralph swiped it?
Oh, so it had been practical joke? Whatever helps her not to pay the bill? quote: That why you have a legal protection insurance.
Which probably also costs more than $600. Hmm… the complete set’s about 20 bucks a month with my insurance. Usually, that pays off if you need legal consulting just every now and then when dealing with a landlord, the odd legal question, weird contracts, and what not. Of course, it’s always a question of whether you ever try to balance the insurance cost to the money saved and if you ever actually have a real, big dispute that lands before a judge. quote:TRANSLATION: Claude’s in town and she’s got a hunkering for some s-e-x.
CLARK: [Thud] LOIS: Well, you’ve had your chance. Again. And again. And again. And Claude, he at least functions. quote:Like a vat of boiling Revenge?
LOIS: No, once it boils, it loses it's effectiveness... I mean, I have no idea what you're talking about. Michael

BATMAN: Hey! CLARK: You're right. It was a good analogy. BATMAN: Hey! Well, it’s unseemly to blow your own horn like that. Also Lois would be much better at doing it *for* Clark. How is blowing his own horn to say it was a nice honor and he was flattered to beat out Lex as the most eligible man? /goes consulting wizards and spells dictionary/ So, you're saying that they can go at it like bunnies as long as they don't involve a priest? CARLOS: Hey! Clark’s pretty fast. He can squeeze an entire fortnight’s worth of activity into a single night. LOIS: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/g040.gif) Whatever helps her not to pay the bill? LOIS: <<grumbles>> I wish I had thought of that. Hmm… the complete set’s about 20 bucks a month with my insurance. Usually, that pays off if you need legal consulting just every now and then when dealing with a landlord, the odd legal question, weird contracts, and what not. Of course, it’s always a question of whether you ever try to balance the insurance cost to the money saved and if you ever actually have a real, big dispute that lands before a judge. Most times, one doesn't bring a lawyer to small claims court anyway.  LOIS: Well, you’ve had your chance. Again. And again. And again. And Claude, he at least functions. CAT: Claude may be functional, but it worth the added expense of having to buy more batteries afterwards? LOIS: Oh, right. I forgot about that. Never mind. Actually, no, not unless the hotel cuts him in on it. Actually, he could probably make a sidebusiness selling the honeymoon suite, complete with male companionship for blonde women of shapely appearance, aged 25-35. CAT: Blondes? Only Blondes? CLARK: Well, there's one brunette which I can't... LOIS: What? Cheat on? CLARK: Hey! Look at the time... I've got to run.... ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c060.gif) LOIS: So, that's where he keeps disappearing off to. His "side business".

So, you're saying that they can go at it like bunnies as long as they don't involve a priest? In one of M.L. Thompson's stories this was offered as an explanation why a Lois and Clark in an altered time line had not been effected by the curse. However they never actually figured out if it was because of that, or because the undoing the curse in canon still worked for the splitered time line. The most clear result of preventing the curse from occuring is that it should make a situation where they no longer have a reason to think they need to go back and erase it. The whole thing boggles my mind.

Yes. <<sigh>> And not an ending in sight. (You'll notice that the ? past 75/??? are up to 3). So, much story to tell...  I’ll admit, I was too distracted with the actual story to keep noticing the title… Hey, maybe you’ll even crack the four digits one day? quote:And she *still* married him? Well, after Lex bailed on her.
CLARK: What? Well, he did. Strangely enough, he kept trying to commit suicide to avoid being chained to her. quote: LOIS: Correct answer.
CLARK: Phew. I don't often get that one right on the pop quizzes. Oh boy. Lana must have had a very muscular hitting arm by the end of their engagement. Actually, the true reason she broke up with him – she started to look like a discus thrower. CLARK: Oh, wait, I've already got a Lois friend in *that* zone. We'll have to put you in another zone. The “Long lost but recently reunited sister” zone? Just like Luke and Leia? Unfortunately, Mrs. Cox makes an awful Chewbacca to Lex’s Han. Or would Superman be Han in this case?

The whole thing boggles my mind. I haven't read that one yet, but rumor has it that MLT has enough stories on her list for me to be kept busy for quite a long time. Aw-darn.

Well, if LabRat becomes more strict on what constitutes a sequel on the Archives... LABRAT: ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/boese/c015.gif) <<Just joking>> Well, he did. Strangely enough, he kept trying to commit suicide to avoid being chained to her. Interesting interpretation of events, there, Michael. LOIS: Didn't he try to commit suicide so that Superman wouldn't touch him? CLARK: No, Lex kept trying to kill himself so that he wouldn't end up in jail. LEX: It's a moot point, since none of them were the real me anyway. Oh boy. Lana must have had a very muscular hitting arm by the end of their engagement. Actually, the true reason she broke up with him – she started to look like a discus thrower. And she thought breaking up with a viable man in this condition was preferable to sticking with him? The “Long lost but recently reunited sister” zone? Just like Luke and Leia? Unfortunately, Mrs. Cox makes an awful Chewbacca to Lex’s Han. Or would Superman be Han in this case? Nigel or Asabi could always play Chewbacca, but Lex really isn't a Han character. Superman is more of a Han character... CLARK: What in the world are you talking about? If anyone is a Han character, it's me! Superman is soooooo totally a Luke. LOIS: <<crosses arms>> Still makes you my brother, doesn't it? LOIS: There was someone there with us? Exactly! It just sounded like he was very satisfied with the situation and enjoyed pointing that out to the rest of the Scooby Gang. Yes, but the only member of the Scooby Gang who knew he was tooting his own horn was Cat, who thinks he's very eligible, indeed. So, Lois and Cat at hook-up-sisters? Yes, they both unintentionally took the same tube train.
