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

Sorry for any errors. I did some last minute edits and additions.

Comments welcome.

At least we now know how Jimmy (Jimmy the First) gets written out of this version. He marries someone in Vegas!

That exchange between Clark and Lois on the phone is just pitch perfect. Just shy of heavy flirting but also laden with the truth. I hope that she's able to sleep knowing that he thinks of her as his resting place (no matter where he is).

I think Chuck's going to get in trouble with Minha if he buys her a gift (a reminder of leaving her behind).

Sidenote: I'm still waiting on her meeting Padre Carlos (or at least for Clark to go visit him again).

Never thought I see it in this story, but are Clark's balls starting to ascend? Hope they are not just taking a peak and go back into hiding? Maybe there is hope for Clark? Will wait and see.

Christina: Thanks for reading and commenting.

What's so funny is that one of my betas said practically the same thing at this point, but then added "If Clark doesn't kill him first."

I'm so glad that worked. /Note to Self: more flirting banter between Lois and Clark/

No? But what if he got her... /points to my head, so you can see what I'm thinking/

Yes, I know my characters ran off on plot-ramble for the last... uh... 100 parts or so... but I promise we'll get back to our main story after these brief messages from... Okay, after I take a break and build up my cushion again. My goal is to focus on B-plot for the foreseeable future. Thanks for dropping by!

FYI: I'm anticipating my hiatus happening after Part 192.


There Is No Spoon: Thanks for your comments. You always keep me on my toes.

CLARK: I promise you that when I stand up straight my swim trunks come down lower on my thigh than my fingertips. /mumbles to self/ I'll never go outside without a disguise on ever again.

Thank you for reading.

Lovely chapter. It explains so much about Lois, Clark and Jimmy.


Brought tears to my eyes, just realizing how long it's been since Clark felt at home. Probably before his parents died.

And I'm delighted to see both Clark and Lois feeling the same way about each other. I assume the last time she felt at home was also as a child.

I sure hope this trilogy ends up with a happy ending for all the good guys and gals. And I'm not looking for a spoiler, realizing this is story #2, just hoping for a happy ending...

And I want to thank you for all the links in each chapter to the previous and next one. It makes reading this story SO MUCH easier than going through the TOC, since I just recently found this board (and haven't been following it all that long). Your extra effort is much appreciated by this reader, and I'm sure others.

I'm in awe how you can keep all the threads straight. I'll be reading the story more than once; it's helped with the sections I've read more than once.

cuidadora: Thank you for commenting.

Thank you. There's a reason I needed Clark and Jimmy to go to Vegas, and her name is Jenny.

I'm glad the 'home' scene worked for you. It brought tears to my eyes, too, when I was writing. Yes, Clark's heart has been without a true home since his folks died. Lois inviting him into hers was an unexpected gift.

While I'm sure that Lois has felt at home by herself (or while Lucy lived with her), it wasn't the restful security that she feels when she's with Clark. She doesn't feel the need to act and be someone she's not with him (although, that doesn't stop her from doing so).

I've promised from the beginning that this story will...

You're welcome. I figure that it's the least I can do for any reader willing to read my monster epics. That reminds me, I still need to finish fixing those imbedded links within each part of Green-Eyed Monster and Missing Lois, which got messed up with the board reboot. I was doing 10 parts a day for a while, but then got lazy and just focused on my writing. Both those stories are available on the Archives, though.

Thank you. That's quite a compliment. It helps that I have some terrific Betas, who remind me of things I've forgotten. It also helps that my stories are so long that everyone memories blur a bit before I mention a plot point for a second or third time. Plus, I leave my memory for my stories. Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, but... My RL is a total mess organizational-wise. Hey, that reminds me, I should really be making dinner.

Thank you for your comments.

I have no idea about this one but do you only get sunburn faster on the parts that actually stick out of the water or all over?

What we will tell Lois...:
Playing water games with a bunch of barely-clothes pool-bunnies might do that to a man in the prime of his virility.

And it’s now 1 minute past midnight on the East Coast?

But won’t seeing her just make him think back of seeing her fornicating with the devil?



Because of all the NIA monitoring equipment?

/scratches head/ Is that…Aqua Man?

Did he intake copious amounts of liquid courage to accomplish that feat?

In case the Big House had changed the young man?

Interesting how he feels the need to emphasize that he also won’t be seeking other *female* companionship for the night.

Also, can you imagine this conversation if Lois hadn’t yet known?

So, he’s an exhibitionist who prefers to wear clothes?

Like how maybe Lois and Lex went skinny-dipping in his whirlpool above the skyline of Metropolis?
CLARK:

Hmm…I think we probably had this one before, a couple of years ago, but if Clark and Carlos share enough of a soul to confuse the curse, maybe the curse would claim Carlos instead of Clark and then the soul of the local Clark could be reborn as Lois and Alt-Clark’s baby boy?

So, he likes to keep things spicy?

How about ‘Stop it, Lois! I’m *not* your invulnerable doormat you can just walk all over!’?

Like Superman does with his favorite rescue victim?

No, a replacement for Lois.





That he lost 30% of his money?

Well…that’s entirely his own fault. He was the one gallivanting around with the Cat and its customary to neuter certain pets so they don’t leave their markings on the furniture etc.
LEX: Like mad dogs?

So, Jimmy *is* blind and Clark’s gay and neutered?

That’s when Clark objected to Lois taking on Lex as a john, wasn’t it?

I thought it was customary for inmates to beef up and get pen tattoos?

And does that make Jimmy the Hand of the King?

/scratches head/ I’ve heard to don’t approve of hookers inside the Vegas city limits, or hotels for that matter, so…

Busy night?

/scratches head/ she’s taking his heart twice?

Oops?

I recommend he refrain from mentioning that one out loud.
CLARK with Green Eyes: The last time I told Lois that I thought she’s a hooker, it didn’t end so well.

Awww…young love. Soul mates.

And the other kind is the type that flirts with both and then sneaks around with one of the friends while officially dating the other?

It’s like with a wishing bone?

Comma?

So, Robin’s the nice one?

Broke ex-con?



Ethics in politics?

She and Claude never made it out of the room?

So, Lois’d rather be there when her parents get reacquainted in the next room?





Aww…Lois thinks that Clark’s holding her down and Clark thinks she’s his old ball and chain.

His Mad Dog House?

Dr. Friskin: So, Superman, you like watching other people using their bathrooms?

?

Maybe if Clark came down in just his red swim trunks?

Is it the Vegan version of Ralph’s Pagoda?



LOIS



So, get a gift bag from the Vegan place but by the chocolate locally?

And he doesn’t think she’ll want chocolate after he explains to her that ‘no, nookie is not on the menu’?



He’s not the most observant one, is he?
PERRY: Why do you think I never had him be a front runner on my reporting team?



Awww…the Dynamic Duo!

If you count in months, you’re still a boy.

On the other hand, Jimbo would still be there to pick up the slack.

Like trying to get a Vegan pregnant?

Maybe a photo of himself and a lifesized Superman cardboard cutout?

Michael

Darth Michael: Now it's my turn to be embarrassed. I thought I had replied to this FDK already. Forgive me.

As stated on previous occasions, my scientific knowledge is nil, which was I including the disclaimer "It was a crazy theory...".

Do you really think he'd mention the other people at the pool?
CLARK: What do you take me for, a lunkhead?

Closer to eleven, but close enough.

CLARK: Baby steps. Mind over nightmares.

CLARK: Yeah. Sure. Let's go with that.

Yes, Aquaman wears orange.

No, he did that the night before.

In case Clark floats.

CLARK: Better safe than sorry.

LOIS: So, Clark, can you describe your swim trunks in detail, so I can get it right on my diagram?

Clark is complex.

No, more like how Lois and Superman could now go skinnydipping there as the previous owner was now dead.

How evil do you think I am?... scratch that. How about: That's really

It's the best way to kill the flavor of Lois's cooking? Oh, wait. That's not the kind of spicy you were referring to, was it?

LOIS: Yes, you are.
CLARK: See!

He's working on it.



That he earned some of the money he lost back?

I thought it was TomCats who left their scent everywhere.

JIMBO: Now that you say it...

That was after Lois decided that she didn't like going through Clark to get to Superman. (I'm almost to that section with my read-through... actually, I'm to the part where Cat discovered the truth about her new co-worker.)

He wasn't in the joint that long.

JIMMY: I don't like where this looks like it's going.

(I recognized the GoT reference, but Jimmy of course, saw something else.)

And that stops them, how?

No, it just made him think what she might look like in said bed with him.

Nope sorry, that was supposed to read:

"who stole your heart and wanted to give you hers in return..."

Fixed.

LOIS: Only the "last time"?

So, it would be better if Jimmy died instead of lived happily ever after in Vegas?

I believe Jenny is implying that what her roommate does.

Okay.

Duh.

JIMMY:

In Las Vegas? Wouldn't that be like having a organic farming convention in NYC?

All work and no play Lois.

No, she'd rather be the one everyone looks to for support, whether or not she wants to give it.

CLARK: /tugs at tie/ Not quite.
LOIS: Well, come over tonight 8pm and we'll see about that.

But in a good way.

The place where he drops his clothes on the floor?

SUPERMAN: No! It was empty.
LEX: You really don't know what you're missing.

Not quite.

They'd make him go back upstairs and put on a tie and jacket.

No. Just not worth the price.

CLARK: oops.

No, Lois doesn't want Clark's leftovers.
LOIS: I like international chocolate.

CLARK: Hmmmm. Now that you mention that...

Are there any 21 males who notice their friends turning into zombies? Unless there is some noogie in it for them, they're oblivious.
PERRY: I stand by what I said above.

Isn't that the Gotham pair. How about the Super duo?
SUPERMAN: I work alone.
BATMAN: Hey! That's my catch phrase.
ROBIN: What am I chopped liver?
BATMAN: Bait.

That's not what he meant. He meant his birthday was last month.

CLARK:

Who said that Jenny was vegan?
JENNY: I eat meat.
JIMMY:
JENNY: You're so weird.

CLARK: Hey, I happen to know a place where I can get one of those. But that's more of a birthday type present.
LOIS: Yo, Dan!

Yeah, I guess I kind of hid it at the bottom of the FDK. Wasn’t sure how long the FDK-FDK would take and wanted to get a head start on catching up.



Like the baby Lex put into her belly?

Yes, but it would have all left his system by now. One way or another.

Because jealous Loises are known to have acquired Kryptonite on occasion?



But what will Mrs. Cox and Nigel say, when they find the pool occupied?



Although one would wonder if such an action on Clark’s part would make it more or less likely that he’d get to taste Lois’s cooking.



PHIL

Although, the last several hands of the king did have rather unfortunate life-ending events. Jon Arryn was allegedly poisoned, starting the current mess. Before that, we had Ned Stark’s father who got kind of roasted alive by the previous king, which coincidentally started the previous mess.

They can be put in prison?

Oooh!



Well… if you put it that way.

I don’t know. According to television, NYC is full of health-nutty hipsters who like to grow their own pepperweed and only buy in organic grocery stores.

She sounds complicated.



I wonder if they would require it of Superman, too.
SNOOTY MD: Of course. Monsieur Superman will have to wear a cravat and a smoking like everyone else.

She’s quite picky for a woman who makes a Fudge Sunday bucket out of her shopping bounty.


SUPERMAN: Just like Lois!



So, she’s now looking for better prospects?
DAN: My satisfaction guaranteed.

Michael

I try to answer them in the order received, except when I fall behind then I try to do it in numerical order.

CLARK: /taking deep breaths/ Michael's only kidding. Michael's only kidding.

But he learned his lesson and never wants to drink without invulnerability again.

Not in this story, but yes.

They're in jail.

Kind of a chicken and egg scenario isn't it?

Well, that explains why the missus didn't want him to take the job.

INMATES:

He died in alt-dimension and before Clark came to this dimension.

Yeah. What's up with that? Was California full?
.
.
.


CLARK:

Sounds about right.

LOIS: Hey! I had had a bad day.

LOIS: See! I don't have bad luck. Wait. What?

LOIS: Maybe I should just join a nunnery.
RALPH:

Yeah, I always try for numerical. Then again, that’s for FDK-FDK-FDK, which already is behind, so…

Oops? One isn’t supposed to torture the super hero?

But I’m sure that when he gets exposed to Kryptonite in season 2 and Lois starts to gallivant with he’ll crawl right back into the bottle.

What about the watch Lex still has in his evidence locker erm desk drawer?



Yes. That and the fact that there’s about a 2000 miles of road between Winterfell and King’s Landing. Even on a horse going 30mph, riding 8 hours a day, it’s 8 days back home. And we’re not talking Roman roads here with stables once every exhausted horse length. Ned basically went down there and that would be it for the next couple of years. And using a raven to sext the wife might be kind of awkward, what with Maester Luwin bringing the sexy text-messages to Catlin, not to mention her dictating her replies to Maester Luwin.



Why he dumped Rachel after the first date but stayed with Lana for years?

/eyes her ways/ Looks like a lot of bad days lately, ever since that hospital visit.

Michael

Some have been known to snap if you do it too much.

He might if he were canon Clark and those things actually were going to happen to him, but he's Alt-Clark so who knows what the future will bring.

You mean 'Henderson'? His first name is 'Bill' not 'Lex'. Yes, Lois knows where she can acquire some, that is true.
CLARK: But she's not, right? Because Lois wouldn't do that to me, right? Because she's not vindictive or... um... Gosh. I'm in trouble, huh?

Explains a lot, doesn't it?
CLARK: I didn't 'dump Rachel'. She left me to join the Army. You know, saying it like that doesn't really put me in a good light, does it?
RACHEL: What? It take the whole US Army to match one Superman.
CLARK: Well, that doesn't sound too bad, actually.
LOIS: Nope, not too bad at all, FlyBoy.
CLARK:

LOIS: What 'ways'? Do you mean my waist? Lex has been feeding me a lot of rich food and letting me out to exercise.
LEX: I keep hoping she'll want to take up indoor sports.

Like what happened between Bane and Batman?

Darn it. Why do they keep ending up mixed up in the typed out version?







That, I blame either on autocorrect or a hiccup in the muscle memory.

There’s a ‘not’ missing in there, isn’t there?
ER: Lois never says ‘no’?

LOIS: N. O.

Michael

Yes, so sad when Bruce...er... Batman dies... er... kills himself.

That would be a funny body switch. Lex with Henderson. Would Henderson then arrest Lex (all the while stealing his own money and putting it back into his pocket)?

Probably, I have a tendency to forget those sometimes when writing negative statements. Hmmmm. Freudian slip?
I like your explanation better.

Of course, Lois would get suspicious, if Henderson suddenly started to hit on her and be contemptuous of Clark and Superman.
