FDK:Don't Be A Stranger-Part 16 - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

Hi,

Great part.

Love Lois and Henderson conversation.

Quote

He patted her shoulder gently.

No hug, which was what she wanted most of all. No comforting embrace. Just a pat on the shoulder.

Yes, Clark really did have a problem with physical closeness of any type.

But he was the perfect best friend in every other respect. So what right had she to wish for more?

Lois is going to be one to have a conversation with Clark about his fears.

But when he got back to the apartment, she was gone.

The realisation hit him like a slam to the gut. Lois wasn’t there. And the apartment felt very strange without her vibrant, energetic presence.

It felt... empty.

He misses her. That's sweet.

“You said West River, Chief?” Clark interrupted.

“Yeah. Apparently the plan is to demolish most of the existing buildings and create a new ‘city within a city’,” Perry drawled.

“Who’s behind this?” Clark asked quickly.

“That’s why I wanted you or Lois there. It’s Lex Luthor - well, one of his companies, but he’s speaking at the press conference. You two are investigating him, aren’t you?”

West river fire. Definitely Luthor.

More ASAP, please.

Lois is all moved in, she's thinking Clark's not attracted to her, Clark's afraid he can never be physically close to anyone...

what angst!

Can't wait for the press conference!

Clark has a real problem here. He needs to talk to somebody about it or he's going to wind up afraid to move for fear he'll hurt someons.

So, the Toasters have appeared on the scene. It will be interesting to see what you do with this.

This is getting hot!!!

I wouldn't blame Lois if she kept Clark firmly in the 'friend zone'. He's made it 100% clear that their relationship will never progress - and he'll have some serious hurdles (that he's erected) to overcome once he stops feeling sorry for himself and decides to be a man with super powers vice the paranoid wuss

he's turned himself into.

Great story; great chapter . Absolutely loving it.

Great Part!

Can't wait for the next part!

I totally sympathize with Clark's paranoia, but rather than having him try to leap those hurdles, I can totally see Lois taking initiative and leaping into his arms. If he's forced to deal with it, then he'll figure it out. That's just my take on this, I love the story how it's going.

Especially the part where he gave her the Kerths. Good man, Clark.

TEEEEJ

Yay! What they said

An excellent part!

Hi everyone!

I'm so glad that you're still hanging in there.

I know it's a long time between posts now - what with being out of internet contact and my buffer shrinking because I have little or no writing time, it's hard keeping up myself! Anyway, I'll try to keep posting as much as I can.

Now, Clark's fear of touching... well, all I'll say is that he's not unaware himself that there's something paranoid about the way he's behaving. Whether that will actually get him anywhere is another matter...

And I'm pleased that some of you are expressing interest in the Toasters. Let's just say that, while some of the events happen a little bit like they did in the episode, others... don't.

So, part 17 coming up shortly! Thanks again, everyone.

Wendy
