Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: The Wedding Pact - The Bomb (12/18)

Comments. Lois and Clark have both decided something important! What do you think?

Update!
What a blast this is going to be!

He’s not very good with bombs, is he?

Huh. I’d thought she’d be more used to those by now. Also, what’s she got to recap? Aside from the recent one-week engagement?

See?

Let’s hope she wasn’t holding on to it at the time.

ANNOUCMENT: Please leave the building in an orderly fashion. You will be hearing loud bangs and notice our cleaning staff is a bit behind on their work…

This is like an arcade game, isn’t it?

Did one of the terrorists shoot her with a gun? You only mentioned a lack of amnesia. You never said she’d survive. And there’s several movies out there dealing with deceased loved ones returning to haunt the living.

He does realize that her heartbeat is still from the past, right? She could already be dead. Like the light from a star that has long since gone nova.

Why Lex is a proponent of gilded cages. Or shackles and a bed. Depending on the mood.

No, only 30-40 times the speed of sound.

Buried in the ruble?

Oh. *That’s* where Coast City is.

SUPERMAN: Lois Lane is in town.
GL: Oh. Right. Got it.

He knows? They in a club or something?

GL a LL-fanboy, huh?

LOIS: *waste*? I’m *waste? I’m so getting wasted when I get out of here.

Wouldn’t it be awkward if the rubble shifted suddenly and then the heartbeat would go faint and stop?

LOIS: Green…Green…*Lantern*! My hero!

Maybe she’s injured. Maybe half her lower torso has been smashed by the rubble.




GL: I think it’s best if you sedate Ms. Lane here.

Superman would be a formidable enemy?
But to be fair, GL only promised to take Lois to the hospital. He never promised that Lois would stay.

But she slept through most of the commotion. And she’s too close to the rest of the story.


Dr.: I have never seen a skull as thick has hers. Must have saved her life.

Trying to peddle drugs to the explosion victims?

Annoyance? Despair? Resignation?

I just realized, wouldn’t it be fun if the green glow from Green Lantern would be based on Kryptonite?

Oh boy. Also, will she cheat on her fiancé?

Oh boy. That’s not going to end well.

She wants to break up with Clark? Because she’s now crushing on Green Lantern?

She wants to tell Superman that she has the hots for Clark and he doesn’t love her like that. He’s more the platonic guy?

Oh boy. He made a doo-doo?

Funny how having your fiancée mad at you can be considered a good thing

She finally got something to loose!

Oh boy. That confession will probably be another 2 parts off. The end of part 14, I’d say. Could be 15, even, but I doubt that. Really depends on how much additional chaos is inserted between then and now

Michael

In this incarnation a lot of chaos could be inserted in the next few parts. KK seems to have the scared/confused about love Lois and the just plain confused/lunkheadian Clark characterizations jacked up on steroids (to un paraphrase your story heading in Don't You Dare).

Seriously though I look forward to each episode Victoria as each one seems to one step forward, two steps back their relationship. While we all pretty much know where it is going, the fun is watching the two of them get there and of course how much collateral damage is done in the process.

Can't wait until Saturday!!

Mike

That's good, especially if the "tell her anyway" includes both his feelings and his other identity.


It's time for the next part, right?

Yeah, yeah... I know: Not 'til Saturday. But you can't blame a gal for trying, can you? I think part 13 will be especially interesting.

Joy,
Lynn

Ack! Clark, you moron, fly there right now and tell her! Lol...great part, love the tension. Waiting impatiently for the next one!

Well...first off. Glad Lois is ok. Second...hmm. Had thought there might be a revelation, but there was not (though it sounds like Clark is very much on the verge ). Third, had thought that the scare of Lois almost getting hurt might get some conversation going btw them, but again, there was not (though so close, Lois is on the verge ). And fourth--really great part, KK!

I am really looking forward to these next few chapters. It seems like both of them are about 'there'--ready to be honest...about themselves, their feelings, what they are wanting and hoping to have with each other.

Wondering if Lois is thinking she will need support from Superman when she tells Clark how she really feels? Is she worried that Clark won't be happy about her news--or not want to keep up the Pact?

So much misunderstanding--with secret identities, with secret feelings, and with a Pact that means so much more than both have admitted to each other. I-Love-it!

Laura

Wow, Michael you are first!

Well, I hope so.



*nods*

Oh dear. And if it's her writing hand that she's holding it with, then there goes her ability to take notes at interviews.



Those movies usually have the 'dead' character being dead quite a bit nearer the start of the story though. There aren't enough chapters left for me to deal with that kind of romantic plot.

Hey, don't be getting too realistic on me there. There's some kind of rule, in Superman universes, that he can hear what's happening, as it's happening, even when it's miles away and should still take the speed of sound to get to him.

Well, I guess he really hopes that she's not in the rubble. What he's hoping here is that he finds her in the rubble.

Yup, it's Green Lantern's home, and it's on the opposite coast to Metropolis.



Oh boy she sounds mad!

Um. Yeah.

Nope. *shakes head* There's only one hero for Lois.

And she can't feel it? That's why she thinks she's not injured?

Good idea!

But when has that ever stopped her before?

I'm sure they will appreciate the Aspirin and Paracetamol!



Someone else had a similar idea.

Here

Nope. Can't see her visiting Superman and telling him that she's marrying Clark even though Clark doesn't love her going very well!

Nope. Only one superhero she could even crush on.

What else could he do? *shrugs* Because Lois still doesn't know it looks very bad to her.

In this circumstance ... yep.

Chaos? Why would I insert any chaos. Oh yes. It's a RomCom.

Anyway. The next lot of chaos is ever so slightly based of a few scenes from You've Got Mail, which is one of my fave RomComs and I've tried to think of a way to do it for LnC, but it's never worked.

Are you saying that Lois is being more Lois-like and Clark is being more Clark-like.

Well, the earlier chapters definitely. The ones about to come ... maybe there will be true forward progress soon?

Collateral damage is a very appropriate phase considering the chapter!!!

It does!

Hmmm. I'll think about it.

Well, I wouldn't describe it as interesting ... more ... frustrating and awwwwww.

He's considered flying over to see her before. But decided it wouldn't be fair to her, to ambush her in that way. He decided that familiar places would help her feel safe, so he needs to wait for her to return home.

Thanks. More tension to come. Only one more day to wait.

Yup, he's definitely decided to tell her. How soon will it happen?

Actually, she's not 'on the verge', she really decided to tell him too, when the ceiling was dropping on her! There wasn't really chance to 'talk' though. It WILL happen.

Thanks

Took long enough, didn't it, but you knew it would come eventually.

Exactly. She has decided to tell Clark that she's in love with him, and she worries that the next few years will be difficult because she'll be in a marriage with someone that doesn't love her back. She's hoping that Superman will be someone she can talk to about the difficulties and emotions she will be facing.

Isn't that the basis of all RomComs?

Thanks

I’m on vacation and all the other FoLCs outside of our timezone were asleep? /eyes Virginia/ Maybe most other FoLCs…

Yep. Will need to carry a Dictaphone from now on.

That’s quite a specific denial



So, basically he could hear Lois cheating on him wherever he was?



Umm…
I think you might have a distance or unit-problem here. 2,400 miles or 3,000-something kilometers between the coasts?

Some say it’s her superpower?

Call-Me-Daniel?

Yep. Shock. It’s often portrayed that people don’t realize their truly grave injuries.







Like when Clark shows up at her door with lipstick on his neck from an overeager rescue victim?
LOIS: No, that would look bad even after I know.



Is it Saturday yet? /looks out of Window/ Darn, still light outside.

Michael

Vacation. Cool. I'm on, kind of, a long term vacation. (Interpret as at least 8 weeks sick leave )



Should have been miles. I've changed it now.

I thought her superpower was her ability to eat all the Double Fudge Crunch Bars in the shop?

*punches Michael* ARGH. How dare you suggest that.



Excited eh?

Checks watch. It's 4:15. Um that's not right. Checks Henry Cavil/Man of Steel 2014 Calendar. Sorry. It's still Friday.

Yup. Still light. Although the rain clouds are making it kind of dark.

Here’s hoping the FDK helps



It felt like the appropriate suggestion at the time?

You know, back in ye olden days, ML Thompson used to post just past midnight East Coast time. That was perfect for reading new fic for breakfast. Alas, that’s not something that’s going to help with this fic…

Michael

Try reading The Penfriend by Wendy Richards.

Just finished it yesterday and I agree it fits.

Mike

I love reading that story! Sure I've read it at least three times, I think.

This segment packed an emotional wallop!

Lois 'flash of life' was very revealing. Who was she thinking of more than anyone else but Clark.

Nice touch adding the Green Lantern in there, my DC comics memory is very rusty, but I do remember they worked well together.

I will try to be more consistent in writing my comments, in the meantime, keep the parts coming!

Definitely. It's one of the more serious chapters in this light-hearted tale.

Oh yes. No-one else commented on the fact that Clark was there twice ... and that his name was linked with 'home'

*Nods* As I said at the start, this story does take place in the wider DC universe, but you don't see that much and don't need to know that much of it.

Thanks. Any comments are welcome. More parts coming up.
