Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

Well, what do you think? Did Clark stick his foot in his mouth again? What WAS he thinking? (Coming up in Part 182)

Comments welcome.

I'm thinking that drunk/hangover Clark is a bit more of a lunkhead than usual. Good thing he is usually immune to alcohol.

I'm also thinking that Cat needs to spill about her observations before everything hits the fan. She'll probably have to ambush Lois to be able to tell her at this point. I'm wary of a Clone/NotSoClone Lex hiding around in the ark somewhere.

clap Yes, that's probably a good thing. Then again, is anyone ever at their best when seen drunk or hungover?

At the moment, Lois is too angry at Cat and blaming her for taking Clark away from Lex Plaza when Lois needed him.

So, that's one vote for Clark as a lunkhead. [Linked Image] I wonder if he'll change anyone's mind? Thanks for your comments.

Jimbo was asleep on the twin bed in the loft, while Jimmy had taken over Clark’s own bed.

So much for coming home.
I’m sure if Clark taped a sock to the arch, the guys would leave him and Lois alone in the big bed.
JIMMY: Sorry, CK, Lois, I’m just on my way to the bathroom!

Quote
It had to be better than the nicks and scratches he’d have all over his face after another attempt at shaving this way.
What if he never gets his powers back?

Quote
to soak up some early morning rays, bringing his cordless phone with him.
For some additional radiation?

Quote
He had no idea how long his abilities would be out this time.
Usually until the next episode, or until the plot demands them. Whatever happens first.

Quote
He had no idea how or why humans repeatedly dealt with this.
Because excessive alcohol consummation causes memory lapses, thus negating the aversion training.

Quote
Was it really worth this torment to feel a few hours of numbness from reality and to do things he was liable to regret in the morning?
SPRING BREAKERS: [Linked Image]

Quote
Was it like Kryptonite, in that one was better able to tolerate the pain with repeated exposure?
Only one way to find out and humans are said to be explorers.

Quote
He decided that he would rather not discover the answer by experimentation.
Why Kryptonians had spacecraft and yet weren’t able to save themselves, except for sending a bunch of nutjobs out into space to ‘form a colony’.
JOR-EL: I had no idea they’d actually stumble across an asteroid that had an oxygen atmosphere.

Quote
Jimmy was the closest James Olsen to the patio door, so Clark tossed the phone on his bed where it landed square on Jimmy’s stomach, waking him.
rotflol So, he’s hung over then, huh?
CLARK: [Linked Image]

Quote
What are you doing back so early? Lois kick you out?”
It’s only been a couple of hours! Even Clark wouldn’t be able to muck things up so qui- [Linked Image]

Quote
Lex had taken away that sense of privacy and security from her.
That why she sneaked into his stuff? To return the favor? That doesn’t sound like a very healthy relationship.

Quote
Just being alone in this apartment made her skin crawl.
Maybe if she moved her Kerths, her fish, and her harem’s costume over to Clark’s and torched the place?

Quote
It was just business, they told her. She understood. Right.
Wouldn’t she do the same…?
LOIS: No! That’s just society page stuff. Let Cat do that!

Quote
The non-request for an interview messages Lois skipped included a couple from strangers blaming her for Lex’s suicide.
To be fair, Lex’s slut of an ex-fiancée did drive him off the balcony by cuckolding the poor man with that boytoy in tights.

Quote
There was even a message from some drunk guy she could hardly hear, because he was in a noisy bar, who told her in a slurred voice that not to worry about anything because he loved her and was planning on coming over to show her just how much before the message got cut.
rotflol

Quote
Thank God that she hadn’t been home to deal with that guy.
CLARK: [Linked Image]
LOIS: [Linked Image] …oops?

Quote
None of them warned her what kind of man they obviously knew he was.
Because she *had* to know. And if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be worth them.

Quote
“Not in this century,” Lois mumbled, hitting ‘delete’ and moving on to the next message. She didn’t owe that woman any favors.
Yes, but now Cat gets to keep Clark since Lois isn’t claiming ownership.

Quote
She wasn’t going back to LNN to work, not in this lifetime.
evil

Quote
She would have to be no-other-alternative desperate before she would consider it, and maybe not even then.
So, that means when she figures out that they prefer hookers to be under 30?

Quote
Apparently, after talking to everyone else, he had new questions to ask her and new information to share.
Still trying to figure out just how much of Lex’s dough she’s weaseled off to the Caiman Islands?

Quote
That man had no interest in history or historical significance unless there was a buck to be made from it.
That’s not true. I’m sure he’d be happy to have his face placed into Mt. Rushmore.

Quote
“I wish they would just get it over with and tear this place down,” Jimmy said, standing under where the globe used to sit over the entrance to the Daily Planet’s lobby.

“Yep, too many memories,” Perry agreed.
He doesn’t sound very Stern to me.

Quote
Perry gazed at Lois with a startled expression. “I asked him, actually, but he said he wasn’t interested.”

“Not interested?” she sputtered. “But… but… that’s impossible!”
Seee!

Quote
It certainly didn’t give her any confidence that Mr. Truth-and-Justice wasn’t about to break her heart as he had in her dream.
Nah, that guy from her dream still had his hopes and thought he could score girls by the dozen during summer break. The guy standing in front of her, he’s a beggar. He might just take her if she offered.

Quote
Lois raised her hand, cutting him off. “Yeah, well, there are some things I never thought possible that turned out to be very possible,” she said. Such as Clark being less optimistic than me. “But you guys giving up on the Daily Planet wasn’t one of them.”
So, what’s she more ticked off about? That she doesn’t have a story or that she doesn’t have a place to publish the story even if she had it?

Quote
but what if he were just another one of those men out to burn her?
KYLE: [Linked Image]

Quote
“I’ve said this before, but I just hate that Luthor got his way in this one thing!” Perry said, slapping his palm with his fist.
I bet Clark hates it even more that Lex got his way with something else, too.
LOIS: I’m a *someone*! I mean… splat

Quote
Lois scoffed. “Who would’ve thought that out of all of us Cat Grant would land on her feet first? Not I.”
CAT: Hello! Cat.

Quote
Jimmy chuckled. “Well, Lois, she is a Cat…”

Jimbo also smiled. “And you know what they say about cats always landing on their feet.”
See?

Quote
It paused on whether she should ask Mayson Drake to introduce her to Bill Church
[Linked Image]

Quote
“It seems that was another one of Lex Luthor’s lies,” Mr. Stern went on.

“Wait a gosh darn minute! What are you saying? That Lex Luthor never owned the Daily Planet?” Perry asked.
confused

Quote
My lawyers went to take the Daily Planet off of LexCorp’s hands this morning, only to discover that it was a private asset owned solely by Lex Luthor himself.”
Oh.
ARI: wave

Quote
Until Sheldon Bender, the executor of his estate figures out who inherits, its ownership is in limbo.” He held out a hand to Perry.
Couldn’t they have Sheldon visited by some nice people who talk nicely to him so he releases the ownership to Mr. Stern?

Quote
Perry shook his hand. “I appreciate your help, Mr. Stern.”

“Any time, Mr. White,” Mr. Stern said, stepping back into his town car.
confused

Quote
Clark said softly, moving down the building until he stood in a patch of sunlight.
He’s like a sunflower, huh?

Quote
If we’re so precious, then where were you yesterday?
Held up.

Quote
“Let me go first,” Lois insisted. She had stayed up half the night at her mother’s composing a list of questions for Clark to answer. The last time he went first the lunkhead had proposed.
laugh also, maybe a comma after ‘first’.

Quote
“I’m going out to Las Vegas in a couple of hours with Jimmy.”
Appointment at the Chapel of Love?

Quote
“When all that dies down, we’ll talk. When I get back, okay?”
Or does he want to make a tour of the Vegan cathouses?

Quote
and we’re going to talk, now!”
It’s possible I just found the missing comma.

Quote
“And what?” she growled. She took a step forward, and he took another step back.

“Distance,” he replied, glancing away.
If he says ‘maybe we should take a break’, Lois might just try to pickle-dice him.

Quote
“Look, it’s not you. I promise you that. It’s me.”
He’s treading on very dangerous ground.

Quote
“I don’t know what’s up with you, Chuck, but I’m certainly not going to accept that answer.”

“I’m sorry, Lois… about a lot of things…”
Too bad he can’t chose ‘flight’ as an option, right now, huh?

Quote
“I do love you, Lois.” His hand rose to cover his heart. “You are my world.”

Her brow rose with disbelief. “So, you’re not taking it back?”
confused [Linked Image]

Quote
He raised a hand to his head for a second and took a deep breath. “I’m not breaking up with you, Lois, if that’s what you thought. I just need some time…”
Yep, he’s so getting sliced and diced.

Quote
“Why do you have bloodshot eyes, Clark?” Lois asked, handing him back his glasses.
Because he’s been out all night drinking and chatting up the local barfly scene.

Quote
She could almost feel his pain in his jolted movements and reluctance.
No, most of that is from the alcohol.
LOIS: mad

Quote
She would give him the time he needed to heal. Distance, not so much.
Awwwww

Quote
It wasn’t as if she was infused with Kryptonite and keeping him sick, now was she?
LEX: Passed over opportunities.

Quote
They were together now. She would get the answers out of him. Slowly. With time.
Like pulling teeth, huh?

Quote
“Then, why did you let me yell at you?” she forced herself to ask calmly.

“I thought anger was your super power, a part of the Lois Lane passion package,” he replied with a sheepish smile. “You mean there’s a way to opt out of the yelling? By all means, tell me how to turn it off. I’m all ears.”
shock

Quote
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you, yesterday, Lois. Believe me when I say I’d much rather have been with you,” Clark said,
Instead of Lex?

Quote
Everything would be all right.

Quote
Why Kryptonians had spacecraft and yet weren’t able to save themselves, except for sending a bunch of nutjobs out into space to ‘form a colony’.
JOR-EL: I had no idea they’d actually stumble across an asteroid that had an oxygen atmosphere.
Which is why he sent his son off separately. He wanted to make sure Kal-El would survive.

I'm sorry, Lex's stuff? No, because like Pandora, she's naturally curious.

Quote
Maybe if she moved her Kerths, her fish, and her harem’s costume over to Clark’s and torched the place?
CLARK: Um... /looking around/ You could share the patio with me. It's summer and quite warm at night.

Quote
Wouldn’t she do the same…?
LOIS: No! That’s just society page stuff. Let Cat do that!
/Why Cat got Page 1 headlines, occasionally/
LOIS: What do you mean that's Page 1 above the fold stuff?

Quote
To be fair, Lex’s slut of an ex-fiancée did drive him off the balcony by cuckolding the poor man with that boytoy in tights.
SUPERMAN: There is no evidence that Ms. Lane and I are involved romantically. In fact, she's dating her partner Clark Kent.

Quote
CLARK: /forgetting that Lois told him that she'd be at her mom's/
LOIS: /kicking before looking/…oops?
Something like that. Good thing Cat was home, huh, or he might have ended up in bed with Jimmy.

Quote
Because she *had* to know. And if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be worth them.
Because she'd no longer be the future Mrs. Daddy Warbucks?

Quote
Yes, but now Cat gets to keep Clark since Lois isn’t claiming ownership.
LOIS: Cat already has ownership of a man.
PHIL: Excuse me?
MAYSON: Does that mean that Clark is a free agent?

Quote
So, that means when she figures out that they prefer hookers to be under 30?
So, in 4 years?

Quote

HENDERSON: [Linked Image] No comment.

Quote
That’s not true. I’m sure he’d be happy to have his face placed into Mt. Rushmore.
LOIS: So, the environment then?

Quote
He doesn’t sound very Stern to me.
Um... canon dialogue, and I don't believe either Jimmy, Jimbo , or Perry were adopted by Franklin Stern.

Quote
Nah, that guy from her dream still had his hopes and thought he could score girls by the dozen during summer break. The guy standing in front of her, he’s a beggar. He might just take her if she offered.
LOIS: Gee, thanks.

Quote

So, Perry doesn't have friends at other newspapers who would publish Lois's exclusive if she had one?

No, Michael, not literally.
CLARK: Actually, from what I've observed from my experience as Lois's partner, many men are out to literally burn her. I'm just not one of them.

Appointment at the Chapel of Love?
CHAPEL OF LOVE (In 1994): I'm sorry, gentlemen, but same sex unions aren't allowed in the state of Nevada. Come back in a couple of decades.

I was expecting lots of feedback here because both my Betas were yelling at me when I sent this to them, insisting I fix this. Perhaps, I *should* put back in the deleted scene I cut... /checks deleted scene folder/ perhaps it would make everything make more sense. evil

A taste of what's to come...
“EPRAD,” Clark murmured against the top of her head.

Lois had been enjoying the feel of Clark’s chest against her ear; she hadn’t realized he had spoken. “Hmmm.”

“The assistant to the director of EPRAD called me this morning,” he repeated, pulling back enough to lean up against the wall and look Lois in the face. “They wanted to thank me for all the work that we put into clearing Professor Daitch, EPRAD, and Superman’s names from blame for the Nightfall scandal. I told them they should really be calling you.”

“You helped,” she admitted. “You never gave up on that story.” Although she realized he really couldn’t abandon it with LNN skewering Superman’s reputation on a daily basis.

“You got the ball rolling,” Clark said. “You knew that something was wrong and you followed that hunch to discover what. Anyway, the director of EPRAD offered… you an exclusive interview.”

“You mean he offered it to you,” she corrected with some bitterness.

“Yes, initially,” he said. “But I told him that you deserved it more than me. Besides, I’ll be in Las Vegas with Jimmy.”

Lois crossed her arms and stared at him. “You’re still going?”

“Jimmy’s been offered two days and nights at a hotel on the Strip in exchange for an interview about being Lex Luthor’s scapegoat for the Daily Planet bombing. It includes airfare for two. He grabbed it. I’m sure you would too after two months in jail for a crime you didn’t commit.”

She shrugged.

“He was going to take Jimbo, but after they saw me and heard about me being…” Clark coughed. “— beaten up and mugged, they both decided that I should go in Jimbo’s place. You want me back out?”

“You said ‘yes’ without consulting me,” Lois stated.

The muscle in his jaw twitched. “I didn’t realize I needed your permission,” he returned.

Lois took a breath to calm her racing heart from that backhanded slap across her face. “I thought we were a couple,” she said softly. “I thought we’d finally have time for us. I thought we would make these kinds of decisions together.”

“Lois, we are a couple, but I can’t run every decision I make past you. If this investigation wasn’t over, if we had gone ahead with our escape plan for you, we still wouldn’t be together for several days,” he reminded her. “All I’m going to do is spend two days sitting by the pool soaking up as much sunshine as possible, and then I’m coming home. Two days!” Clark flung out his hand in exasperation. “I can get that better out in Las Vegas than I can from my patio, here, in Metropolis.” He lowered his voice. “You know how important sunshine is to my healing.”

“Yes, but…”

“This is about me recovering faster,” he said. “This isn’t about us.”

“By not including me in the decision making process, or even considering whether I might want to come with you or would want you here with me, you made it about us,” she replied. He had made it about them because he hadn’t thought of her at all.

Clark briefly closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath. “You’re right, Lois. I’m sorry. Do you want to come to Las Vegas with us?”

With us?

“No,” Lois said, straightening her shoulders. She didn’t want to be invited like this. He should want to take her on a trip, not be forced to do so. Was it too much to ask for to want her boyfriend to automatically think of her when contemplating an impromptu trip to Las Vegas? “You weren’t wrong when you said I have things to clean up here in Metropolis.” She relaxed her stance enough to place a hand on his chest and felt the slight tension her touch brought him. Something had changed him. She only wished she knew what. It couldn’t have just been the exposure to Kryptonite. He had lived through that before. “Possibly you’re right, Clark. Maybe we do need some time apart to think about what we really do want.”

Perhaps some time apart would remind him why he didn’t want to be away from her.

He placed his hand over hers. “I want you, Lois. That will never change.”

Lois closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest, wishing she could believe him. He was saying most everything she wanted to hear, saying all the right words about loving her, but something in his tone rang hollow, as if he were trying to convince himself that she was really what he wanted.

She missed him already as if he were already gone.

“I love you,” she whispered, so softly she didn’t know if he could hear her without his extra sharp hearing.

“I really do like this haircut, Lois,” Clark said, and kissed the top of her head. “I’ll call you tonight, and give you the number of the hotel. I promise you, when I get back, we’ll have that talk.”

Lois wouldn’t be holding her breath. Promises weren’t to be believed until followed through upon. She had learned enough from men to know that. She had hoped that Clark would be different. It turned out he was an All American Male after all.
The real reason it's important to read the FDK thread. cool

I love the ending of this part. It is nice to have Lois and Clark openly sharing their love. I guess a lot of people know of it already, but they are now not hiding it from anyone. Not quite as good as when they kiss on the floor of the newsroom at the end of one of the season 3 episodes (I can't remember for sure which one) but almost.

CLARK: Um... /looking around/ You could share the patio with me. It's summer and quite warm at night.
So, he wouldn’t kick out his male houseguests for a chance to get with Lois?
CLARK: I live with Superman.

SUPERMAN: There is no evidence that Ms. Lane and I are involved romantically. In fact, she's dating her partner Clark Kent.

Something like that. Good thing Cat was home, huh, or he might have ended up in bed with Jimmy.
CLARK: In my defense, Superman wasn’t feeling too well.

MAYSON: Does that mean that Clark is a free agent?

Quote:
He doesn’t sound very Stern to me.
Um... canon dialogue, and I don't believe either Jimmy, Jimbo , or Perry were adopted by Franklin Stern.
I was actually referring to the lack of Stern-ness in the dialogue. But it’s been a while so I’m not sure when the idea of rescuing the Planet came up blush

Quote
LOIS: Gee, thanks.
You’re welcome!

Quote
So, Perry doesn't have friends at other newspapers who would publish Lois's exclusive if she had one?
Like at the Star. The Digger? The Whisper?

Quote
No, Michael, not literally.
CLARK: Actually, from what I've observed from my experience as Lois's partner, many men are out to literally burn her. I'm just not one of them.
Thanks, Clark! @EW: See, honest mistake there.

What if Clark weren't referring to Lois...
rotflol Clark not referring to something-Lois in any of his talks? :rotlol:

Thanks!

I always get those two confused.
Umm…let’s see…the first one uses identical relationships to explain behavior, like Lois is to criminals like honey is to flies. The second one uses colorful likeness to illustrate a point. So…metaphor, I’d say blush Also, did you know that a sunflower keeps growing continuously to keep the head pointed at the sun the whole day long?
CLARK: Funny! Umm…Me…Lois…umm…that would be an analogy to sunflowers!

But it's so pretty!
Funny, that’s the exact same thing Lex thought when he went and got himself a Lois.

Quote
Maybe it means something else in the other dimension.
CLARK: Yeah, it does. It means that the guy isn’t up to the ladies standards. At least, that’s what it always meant when my highschool girlfriends broke up with me.

Too bad he can’t chose ‘flight’ as an option, right now, huh?

I love the ending of this part.
Gasp! thud wink

Quote
It is nice to have Lois and Clark openly sharing their love. I guess a lot of people know of it already, but they are now not hiding it from anyone. Not quite as good as when they kiss on the floor of the newsroom at the end of one of the season 3 episodes (I can't remember for sure which one) but almost.
It's been so long I haven't any idea which episode that could have been. How many people know? Shall we count them?

Have been told (i.e. people Lois and Clark have told): The Kents, Carlos, Perry, Phil

Have figured it out: Perry (who knows which came first with that guy wink ), Cat (ditto), Jimbo, Jimmy, Henderson, Bobby Bigmouth, Star, Batman (because he's Batman).

People who may or may not have figured things out: huh Lucy, Uncle Mike, Sam Lane, Nigel, the rest of Metropolis (okay, I was just joking about them).

Totally clueless: Ellen Lane, Mrs. Arnold (but only because Lois hasn't talked about Clark enough with her), Lex Luthor -- before he died (LEX: What! [Linked Image]), the rest of Metropolis ("Did you hear? Lois Lane was cheating on Lex Luthor with her old writing partner at the Daily Planet, and THAT's why Luthor jumped." -- Maybe it's a little to early to be open about her relationship with Clark.), and Clark (Okay, that last one was just for fun and giggles).

Does that clarify things? peep

Oops, meant to write ‘tuner’. /checks timestamp on post/ Okay, that explains it. Brain was already in sleepmode at the time. Anyway, the antenna you can get for a couple of bucks at any electronics store near you. Or you could just buy some antenna cable and let it dangle. Works great to, so long as there aren’t any loops in it.
