Green-Eyed Monster TOC

Progress report: I have just completed typing Part 15 into the computer. Yeah!

Again, I would like to thank AntiKryptonite for letting me borrow her inspiration of Clark's discomfort with the smell of blood from Four Scents Worth .

Please post feedback here. Thank you.

Nice chapter. I liked Lois warming up a little, and pushing to see Clark without glasses. You'd think, that if he's not Superman he wouldn't still obsess about it.
I liked how you put Herb and Tempus here, although I'm confused about their involvement in Miranda story is there any?

Ew Claude really is a creep. Nice job getting them to kiss anyway. Laura

Yeah. I was going for the red skull and bones tattoo, aka the Jolly Roger.

immery: What? Clark not obsess about something? <<shock>> Miranda... explained in Part 5.

Laura: Yes, well, Claude's a creep in any dimension.

Michael: Not so many questions, this time.


Well, Lex Luthor does own the building where MJ's Cafe is located and he wants to build another Luthor Tower...

There's always hope.

<<snicker>>

Oh, so you have read ahead. Oh, wait, I don't think I've posted that part yet. Never mind.

Clark Kent opens mouth, inserts foot. He forgot to mention that it was one of his daily exercises.

... And two...

Really! She hasn't met Luthor yet. Actually, I'm about to send Part 23 to Beta and I still haven't written it yet. All good things come to those who wait.

No comment.

I thought it was only canon Lois who was known for not planning ahead.

Actually when I first started writing I wasn't going to ressurect the DP at all, but then the characters insisted upon working towards that goal. Daily Books is not in the old Daily Planet building. Actually, the name not only as an homage to the DP but also as a pun (is that right use of that word?), a play on the phrase 'Daily Bread'.

Same old. Same old. Messing with L&C lives.

Descendent? No. I had forgotten about Lois's line until you refreshed my memory. I have some vague recollection of Tempus saying something similar, but I could be mistaken.

What fun would that be?

No. Other people than in canon will become infected.

Ah. No. Thank you. But as a classics major I'm very familiar with the liesure activities of the ancient Greeks.

Not familiar with Warehouse 13, but I'm assuming he's different than L&C's Wells. No, when I was researching my ML epic, (LOVE Wikipedia) I discovered that sweet Herb Wells wasn't as gentlemanly as he is in canon. He cheated on his wife and, I think, married his mistress and then, if I remember correctly, cheated on her as well. Sometimes one cannot erase the knowledge one learns. I much prefer canon HG Wells, but I'm assuming Tempus would be the type of man to do his research and throw in the dig where he can.

Herb's relationship with the Miranda knowledge will be explained in Part 5.

Thanks for noticing this little moment with Jimmy. I could just picture him doing that.

Just a low-life scum Claude is. He was just quoting back Lois's line in jealousy and as a jab at Clark for getting farther with her than he did. Plus, I was curious what Clark's reaction to this line would be. Especially not knowing it's backstory / previous use.

Wow, I made it to the end without accidently backspacing me out of my notes, again. Phew. Glad you are enjoying the story. It's fun to write something silly after the seriousness of Missing Lois.

You're probably right. Lois is still new in town and while I'm sure that Lex likes his 'dates' to be young and healthy, he likely also looks for quality which requires a certain amount of experience and recommendations.

Sort of: Helena Wells

(yes, still the author)

True. And yes, I also have to work through the material one after the other during catch-up And since Missing Lois looks like it's going to go on for a while
