Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here
Yes, you heard right. It's the week of the wedding.
Comments go here.

Wait, I can't be the first to comment since the 23rd! Must have been some replies lost in the transfer or something!
At first, I was afraid Jack was going to see Clark flying with Lois or something! It's getting very frustrating how he keeps hanging back, though. I mean, yeah, I get that he's nervous, but why didn't he speak up once he realized the woman with Clark was Lois? I would think he'd be more comfortable with her than him anyway.
Lois must be really desperate to avoid Lex during the daytime to still be working at LNN. Talk about hitting her head against a wall! Though the director, Robertson, is an interesting character. Clearly he has a little integrity in there. How did he ever get so far working at LNN?
*pssst* You call him Robinson in the first paragraph and then switch to Robertson for the rest.
Interesting angle with Lexel and money laundering. I'd never thought of that one before, but it certainly would explain why Lex had the paper so well insured despite his plans to destroy it.
Speaking of money laundering, I wonder if the new washer in Lois's apartment has a setting for cash. HA!!!

If Clark had to make love to her himself to stop her from willingly marrying Luthor to save the Daily Planet, it was a sacrifice he was prepared to make.
Some things were worse than death.
LOIS: What a way to go!
Quote
Martha had seemed to enjoy far too much helping him muck up these second hand clothes he used for farming.
From the description, I agree, Martha had WAY WAY WAY too much fun with those clothes. UGH. It's probably a good thing he didn't run into Bobby, because I agree with Clark, the reaction would not have been pretty.
I'm guessing the two guys, Pete and John, are the ones that helped frame Jimmy for the bombing? Let's hope Superman gets to that grocery store and catches them, giving them a little incentive to squeal.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, in Darth Michael's case, since the upgrade ate many of his previous posts), nobody else has had time this week to comment on my little story. That's okay. I'm sure there are still people out there reading, besides you. With the board shut down, the auctions, Easter, etc., people have been busy.
Quote

He did. That's what the hot pink blur was; not Superman's cape, but Lois's dress. Only Jack didn't realize what he saw.

By the time he realized who "Minnie" was they turned the corner and it was too late.

I figure that LNN had to go on after Lex committed suicide in canon, so maybe there were *some* decent people there. But everyone wanted to shut poor Robertson into a box, just because he had the misfortune of doing well at LNN.
Quote
*pssst* You call him Robinson in the first paragraph and then switch to Robertson for the rest.
Ooops. Thanks. Fixed. I'm still working on my new OneNote file of all the characters I've created for this epic.

When you start watching an episode over and over and over again to catch the exact dialogue, you pick up things and mull them over again as you've never have before. Since they haven't learned about Lex's... er... the Boss's protection racket, yet, they need to figure out things in a different way.

[Colleen falls over laughing]
LOIS: What a way to go!
My betas and I debated this line as I wasn't sure if it was too much. One of them loved the dark humor of it, the other thought Clark would rather Lois married to Lex over her death and would never even consider this option. If Lois didn't die when Clark expected her to, boy, wouldn't that be a surprise.
LOIS: What do you mean, 'I didn't die'?
Quote

In canon, she always seems to get obsessed with stuff and because she doesn't have any real outlet except farming, I figured she'd enjoy this experiment in faking hobo clothing.

Yes, Pete and John Black are the two guys who framed Jack in canon.
Thanks for taking time to comment.

Clark would kill her with sex to prevent her from marrying Luthor? That's .... not right. Why would Clark contemplate murdering her? Wouldn't he just run away with her like he was thinking before?
I like how you addressed the insurance issue. It never made sense to me why he would insure the business with his own insurance company. That's just moving money from one pocket to another, and he would still have the loss of the building. It doesn't net him anything.

Too much, huh? So, you think he should just kidnap her and take her to a deserted island, instead of let her marry Luthor if she decided to in order to resurrect the Daily Planet?
I figure this is more of a fleeting thought and that when push came to shove, he couldn't actually go through with.
LOIS: Of course he wouldn't. You've met Clark, right? He's Mr. Wishy-Washy.
CLARK: I knew deep in my heart that you'd never choose Luthor over running away with me.

I know that Clark can be creepy and stalker-ish even on a good day, but contemplating cold-blooded murder is way out of character. I would expect that it wouldn't even occur to Clark to kill Lois to keep her away from Luthor.
Taking her to a deserted island, even against her will, is a much better solution and seems much more like the sort of impulsive thing he would do. Then he would have time to convince her that marrying Lex is a terrible idea (and not to press charges for kidnapping her). But his previous thought was that Lois wouldn't go through with the wedding no matter what. I had interpreted that to mean that Clark knew that she wouldn't ever be willing to go through with it. Only in retrospect did it seem like Clark meant that she would never marry him because he would go to any lengths to prevent it, no matter what she wanted.

So.... he meant figurative making love? As he wouldn't do it literally?
LOIS: Say, what?

That's always a possibility, but I think that MLT has already used that plot.

Yes, that's more what he (I) meant. A option of last resort, which he doubted he would ever need to use.

So, now for the catching up part… Or is it catching up on parts?
Quote
Since Mrs. Cox had pulled the plug on the Daily Planet, Kent and his buddies had been keeping some strange hours.
Working as male-order prostitutes?
Quote
It was getting closer to Lois’s wedding date with Luthor and, though Jack hated to admit he cared, nobody deserved that fate. Honestly, Jack was amazed that she had survived this long.
She’s better in the sack than her previous boyfriends gave her credit for?
Quote
Jack might never have been so lucky, but he recognized a man spruced up for his chances with the ladies when he saw one.
Pizza delivery? And he hoped to score with the recipient since Clark had told him to give Lois his best?
Quote
Jack might only be a street kid, but he was smart enough to connect dots.
Quote
He didn’t see anything other than a momentary and strange deep pink streak in the sky,
So, red cape and blue…suit?
Quote
What Jack must have thought was fuchsia had probably been the man’s red cape.
But him holding Lois is quite fun, too. CLARK: So much fun!
Quote
In the papers and on TV, sure, but seeing him live right in front of Jack would make him seem all the more real. He still couldn’t believe that such a man existed.
Oooh! Is this reason why small children are taken to the mall to visit Santa?
Quote
Jack hadn’t even known Clark had been at home this whole time.
He has to keep his dalliances quiet. Lois owns a watch and knows how to use it.
Quote
The woman was practically hanging off Kent’s arm. After shutting the door behind them, Kent wrapped his other arm around the woman’s waist and lifted her off the ground to press a less than innocent kiss on her lips.
What did he do to his skank of the ball back there? And will she be alive come the morrow?
Quote
Why was Kent kissing this other woman? Oh, God! What had that drowned spider really meant? Had she broken up with him?
No, it meant that she knew he had caught 8 women in his web.
Quote
The dark haired woman placed her fingers over his mouth, cutting off whatever he had been about to say. “Lola is my sister,” she corrected, stepping out of his embrace.
“No. Wanda is Lola’s blonde sister and still hidden away up in my apartment,” Kent said.
JACK: What a *stud*!
Quote
Jack didn’t think his jaw could fall open any further. Two women? Kent had two women at the same time in his apartment?
I just realized something! He’s a Mormon adhering to the traditional practices! Either that, or he’s a Kryptonian Lord, having purchased several concubines. LOLA: *Purchased*?
Quote
“Don’t forget that underneath all this, I’m still a Mad Dog,” the woman growled, grabbing his arm between her fingers. “Maybe now I’m a Doberman Pinscher, too.”
Drunk on love. And some cheap booze Ralph left over at the wedding?
Quote
“Lead…”
A cat chose that moment to jump out of the planter, scaring Jack half to death.
Poor guy, good thing he’s wearing leaded underwear.
Quote
“Then we fly away into the sunset, never to be heard from again, until we do have the goods on him,” Minnie replied, setting her hands on his chest.
Or maybe Kent is just really, really smart.
He’s very experienced with the volatile sex?
Quote
“I thought so,” she replied with a giggle, and Jack realized from where he recognized her voice.
They turned the corner and disappeared from Jack’s sight. He knew Bobby was never wrong.
Quote
He nodded, looked around, and then waved Lois into an empty alcove. “Not anymore. Apparently, the disk has been disinfected.”
So, LNN got good AV software?
Quote
You said that you’d take care of it,”
Apparently, he did.
Quote
She had begun to respect him after she inadvertently on-purpose overheard him arguing on the telephone with someone above his pay-grade how LNN’s news coverage of Superman was biased and more a joke than a reflection of reality.
ROBERTSON: I have not worked Mondays to Thursday all the way till lunch to have you turn LNN into a joke! If you want to sully Superman’s reputation, do it in a clever way. A way that doesn’t look like we’re reprinting the Pravda!
Quote
“You have a wedding to prepare for, Ms. Lane,” Robertson reminded her. “Don’t forget you’re still on city hall duty until the end of the day, and then you’re on hiatus until you return from your honeymoon.”
Or goes on maternity leave. Whichever comes first.
Quote
The worst thing to bring to an interview was low self-esteem.
What about a wanted-poster when interviewing for a place at the police academy? ZED:
Quote
That was if he factored out the time lost waking up in a cold sweat from Lois and Lex nightmares.
Hmm…I think he’s not really understood the concept of a ‘wet dream’, has he?
Quote
it was only a matter of time before Superman’s reputation was restored and the real villain was exposed.
Prof. Daitch? LOIS: Close enough, so long as it gets my snugglebums out of the spotlight.
Quote
“It would be a great way to cover up money coming in which wasn’t legally supposed to be there.”
So, lots of businesses are ‘buying insurance’ and then they just go away again. But of course, Lex still needs to drain the funds back out of the insurance business?
Quote
“You mean, like cooking the books?”
No wonder Lois hasn’t found a thing. LOIS: Is that a cooking joke?
Quote
where did this money come from?”
Business ‘buying insurance’…
Quote
“Yeah,” Clark admitted. “If we don’t find enough to put Luthor down for good…”
They could have Clark put Lex down Kryptonian style.
Quote
Did that mean that he shouldn’t put together everything necessary for that contingency, the life on the road with Lois, including a suitcase full of her clothes taken from their laundry dates?
LOIS: Now, where did all my fancy underwear go…
Quote
Absolutely not! It was already waiting for their hasty arrival next to his duffle in the Kents’ guest bedroom.
Awww…look! He’s gotten a poor man’s Creepy Bunker Apartment™ set up!
Quote
That was Luthor, though. Why do something for less when one could make a big huge unnecessary gesture?
Maybe he doesn’t want to know? Or, maybe, he already put up cameras, figured out just what a skank he’s about to get into, and then had the indoor equipment set up so the marriage would still go through since that’s the only way Betsy is going to allow him to have some fun with his soon be dearly departed soon to be new wife?
Quote
“We have him, don’t we?” Jimbo asked, glancing between them.
For breaking and entering Lois’s apartment?
Quote
“Unfortunately not, Jim,” Perry replied. “All Luthor has to say was that he was working on plans to rebuild the paper, but was only postponing it until after he returned from his honeymoon.”
Well, even if he said he just decided to pocket the money, all they’d have him for would be him being a scuzzball.
Quote
“I’m sure… she wouldn’t, CK,” Jimbo sputtered. “Not even to…”
Well…if you look at the history books, a lot of women have said ‘yes’ to scuzzballs for quite less money. RALPH: One just said ‘yes’ to me for a nifty 50 bucks the other night!
Quote
“She won’t,” Clark answered definitively. He wouldn’t let her martyr herself in that manner.
Wouldn’t she need to die during the process to achieve martyrdom? LOIS: Hello! Not going to want to live after Lex, so… CLARK:
Quote
If Clark had to make love to her himself to stop her from willingly marrying Luthor to save the Daily Planet, it was a sacrifice he was prepared to make.
Some things were worse than death.
Aww…Clark! CLARK: What? At least she’d go out happy!
Quote
Martha had seemed to enjoy far too much helping him muck up these second hand clothes he used for farming. A part of him thought he had the odor of the country more than the city though.
Funny thing. Did you watch the NCIS episode with Tony as a hobo two weeks ago?
Quote
Of course, it could have been the piglet he caught the other day. She didn’t seem to like flying very much.
Good thing Lois got a stronger bladder? CLARK: It’s why I always carry Ralph or other crooks away from my body.
Quote
He decided, then and there, never to get on Martha Kent’s bad side.
Sheep shifting:
Quote
Clark would make sure that the Superman Foundation supplied Bobby and the Fifth Street Mission well with good staples.
Truffles, caviar, quail eggs, and Champagne?
Quote
Even those out on the streets occasionally deserved a meal as well as this.
SEWER LEX: I shall venture to eat at the Fifths more often.
Quote
Normally, he didn’t like using tips picked up by his eavesdropping, but it wouldn’t be fair if that grocery store owner got hurt because Superman had turned a blind eye to good information just because of how he got it, either.
That’s how he justifies that he almost *didn’t* help? What is he, a cop worried about due process and lawfully obtained evidence?
Quote
The boss thinks it’s the best way to teach Chen his lesson,
Since Clark thought ‘The Boss’ was a name a couple of paragraphs up, wouldn’t it be capitalized here, too?
Quote
“My hair isn’t spiking the way it should, man.
So, this is like a time traveling douche robbing the gunshop were he first asked to try out the gun being sold.
Quote
I look like some country douche bag.”
And he wants to look like a city douche bag instead? SUPERMAN: Hey! I wear hair gel. BATMAN: Case and point.
Quote
“Yeah, well, you’re my brother, so if I’m a douche bag, so are you,” Pete retorted.
I thought that was a paternal trait? DOUCHE BAG #1: And you think our mother didn’t do *two* douche bags in a row?
Quote
Without the spikes, I can’t strike fear into our customers.”
Quote
“Hey, that’s not fair, John. Chen will open up to persuasion,” Pete said, stabbing the bench with his pocketknife. “Chicks are different, man.
So, Douche #1 is saying that he’s not into putting pointy objects into chicks, only dudes?
Quote
Clark was close enough now that he caught the older boy’s attention.
“Come on, Pete,” John said, nudging his brother’s shoulder with a nod back towards Clark. “Let’s go get ready for tonight.”
Huh, why do I have the feeling that they’re talking about roughing up, and in case of Douche #1, then having carnal knowledge of that buff homeless dude that’s following them. And have they not watched *any* TV show, where the crazed serial killers often go after their lowlife victims dressed as homeless dudes?

/nods/ Very busy with auction and reporting board issues. Will see what tomorrow brings. Plus, Thursday is a holiday over here, so...
My... it sure took a long time to get to Thursday. (I'm hoping that you were distracted by writing your story and Betaing Sue's story. If not, just cross your fingers and lie by saying you were. I'll believe you.)
Two Weeks Later...

That's the rumor. Sadly, the only one who might know the truth recalls the event as total fantasy.
LOIS: Well, that proves I'm better, doesn't it?
Quote
Pizza delivery? And he hoped to score with the recipient since Clark had told him to give Lois his best?
Nope. Since this is still the night of Cat's wedding, Lois is working her... cough... kinks out at the gym.
Quote
ER: /dot to dot Octopus/
Quote
So, red cape and blue…suit?
Lois in a hot pink dress, being carried by a man in blue suit and red cape. /also, if the blue and red blurred/blended wouldn't it make purple/
JACK: Ultra Woman!
Quote
But him holding Lois is quite fun, too. CLARK: So much fun!
So much so, he might not let her go.
Quote

Um... she left the watch at her dojo.
Quote

He brought her back to his place to shower and change into a different disguise. No time for more.
CLARK: Phew. LOIS:

Well, let's see. There's Lois, Lola, Minnie, Wanda, Cat, Lucy, Toni and Toni?

Quote
I just realized something! He’s a Mormon adhering to the traditional practices! Either that, or he’s a Kryptonian Lord, having purchased several concubines. LOLA: /mad/ *Purchased*?
CHING: Exactly. They were given to his lordship for free. LEX: I like this society. Mrs. Cox, draft a memo!
Quote
Drunk on love. And some cheap booze Ralph left over at the wedding?
More the former than the latter. If Cat didn't invite anyone from work except Clark, it's doubtful that Ralph got an invite.
Quote
He’s very experienced with the volatile sex?
He's still learning.
Quote
So, LNN got good AV software?
It was outsourced to LexLabs computer division. They do.

Possibly. It could also be that until he has prove that their boss is THE Boss, he keeps it lowercase in his mind?

Who knows…

LOIS: I'm not pregnant! LEX: Give me time. CLARK: So, not happening.
Hmm… is that an excessive comma there or did Clark simply state that since Lex won’t be getting more time, it’s not happening? Works nicely, either way.

Quote: Prof. Daitch? LOIS: Close enough, so long as it gets my snugglebums out of the spotlight. Um... the person who created the virus.
yeah, but in lieu of that, wouldn’t any stooge do? LEX: That’s why I had Superman framed.
Quote
LOIS: mad Is that a cooking joke? clap And a good one!
Thank you

Quote: They could have Clark put Lex down Kryptonian style. SUPERMAN: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock?
LORD NOR :rolleyes:

LOIS: AIR. He meant 'air', right? This isn't going to be a road trip is it?
So, not interested in spending days on the highway and cheesy motels with Clark, while he points out the interesting bits about the land they’re traveling through? CLARK: And this is the Shonash Ravine… LOIS: Clayton Ravine…

Quote: Well, even if he said he just decided to pocket the money, all they’d have him for would be him being a scuzzball. Being that the money was to rebuild the DP, wouldn't that count as insurance fraud?
No, I don’t think so. Insurance money is usually not earmarked.

Quote: Aww…Clark! CLARK: What? At least she’d go out happy! LOIS: 30 Seconds! That's all I...?
Quote
By that time, doesn't Bobby have a paying gig again?
Could still volunteer, no?

Thanks for the funny FDK!

Working as male-order prostitutes? JIMBO: Um... Okay. Female clients only, please.
Clients who represent themselves as ‘female’?
JIMBO: Um... Why would I want that?

So, she’s fantastic?
LOIS:
CLARK: I never had any doubts in that department.

I, did, mention, about being a, wayward, er, recovering, comma slut, didn't I? It's why I have the best betas out there!

Not even for businesses?

Hmm, on the insurance thing, I'm going to venture that it COULD depend on exactly what kind of ownership Lex has over the Daily Planet. I'm assuming he's at least majority shareholder, but it's unlikely he's the sole shareholder, so he would have had to report to other shareholders on the insurance proceeds and, I'm guessing, distribute amongst them after all expenses related to closing out the DP are paid off. So he could have reported on only the smallest of the insurance claims, perhaps even claiming it was all used up paying any bills the DP owed, and then pocketed the rest for himself. THAT would certainly be fraudulent.
But then, I'm not an expert in corporate law, let alone how exactly insurance figures in there. I'm just extrapolating on what I understand about publicly shared companies.
Of course, bombing your own company and taking the insurance is fraud, obviously. But you have to prove culpability in the first place.
Clients who represent themselves as ‘female’? JIMBO: Um... Why would I want that?
Because it’s funnier that way for the audience?

CLARK: I never had any doubts in that department.
Because the other Clark gave his Lois raving reviews? CANON CLARK: Dude, you haven’t been with a woman until you’ve been with a Lois Lane! I never had better.

In this story, the Daily Planet was a privately owned company managed by the Board of Directors (hence why they needed their approval for the sale). It was purchased by Lex under his LexCorp umbrella. I, too, am not knowledgeable in corporate law, let alone, any type of law. I try to let my vagueness fill in the cracks.

That would be like having your house burn down, getting money from your homeowners insurance, and blowing it all on a trip to Paris.
LEX: So? Paris is beautiful in the springtime.
EW: It's so... so... Wrong?!
LEX /aside to the reader/: She doesn't understand me, does she?
EW /aside to the readers/: Please don't answer that!

Yeah, you could do that. But it might be financially unwise and legally questionable due to the security fraud laws. Now, if you where to happen to suffer catastrophic fire damage due to the weather…

Thanks for dropping by.
With the board shut down, the auctions, Easter, etc., people have been busy.
Ooops. Thanks. Fixed. I'm still working on my new OneNote file of all the characters I've created for this epic.
What do you mean, 'I didn't die'?
Clark would kill her with sex to prevent her from marrying Luthor? That's .... not right. Why would Clark contemplate murdering her? Wouldn't he just run away with her like he was thinking before?![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/boese/a045.gif)
me.
So, you think he should just kidnap her and take her to a deserted island, instead of let her marry Luthor if she decided to in order to resurrect the Daily Planet?![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c085.gif)
I knew deep in my heart that you'd never choose Luthor over running away with me.

What did he do to his skank of the ball back there? And will she be alive come the morrow?
