Ok, so I realized AFTER I wrote this that HG Wells makes Lois forget in Tempus Fugitive by sending them back *before* they disappeared and not with some magic... I thought of rewriting it, but wondered if you could accept it the way it is? That way, Tank gets a nod about the haircut and I really like Clark/Superman talking to each other, er themselves... If it seems too outside believability (we are talking about flying men and time travel, after all!), I'll consider changing it... what do you think?

And hope you will forgive me not giving 1993 Lois a revelation! Or will you come after me with pitchforks?!

I think this version is fine. If you time-loop them too much, things are going to get more knotted! Clark remembers everything that happened to him in "And the Answer Is", so he will eventually know what all happened.

That's cute that '93 Lois is jealous of whomever Clark may be married to.

This cracked me up!

I loved these lines:

With time travel, think of all the different pathways they could take to meet at the same end.

I loved Clark and Superman talking to each other. That was a good bit.

It worked for me.

LoL at her confusion regarding her relationship with Clark and Superman!

I have to admit that I was sad that 1993 Lois wasn't forced to cut her hair. I find it hard to believe that 1996 Lois spent all that time at the Planet and only Jimmy saw her 'haircut'.

You jettisoned the younger Lois rather quickly. One has to wonder where the older Lois is now and who she is displacing this time.

Tank (who says that wherever Lois is now he hopes that she can influence a proper haircut to the Lois of that time also)

Yes, it worked for me too!

I too found it satisfying that Lois was jealous of Clark being married ... if she only knew that she is/was? jealous of herself

Apparently Wells has picked up magical whispering memory loss powers in the future, LOL. I was surprised that 93-Lois was returned home as quickly as she was, but it makes sense that 93-Clark would have to forget, too. And, of course, I liked how Lois was jealous of whoever Clark had married; I agree she would have been, even this early. Her heart knew they were destined for each other way before her brain did.

I wasn't expecting Tempus to kidnap 96-Lois again, either. I wonder where he's taken her this time? Clark and Wells to the rescue!

Kathy

that's right, this is before even Linda King showed up. It's funny that Lois gets her first Clark-possessiveness about herself

Oops?
