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

As I didn't like how today's part sounded during my prep-review earlier this week, I rewrote / edited a large portion of it this morning. So, I apologize if there were more typos and grammatical mistakes than usual. They are all on my head. blush

Writing has been much slower than anticipated since I started my new job. Instead of writing a part a week as I used to, I'm lucky to complete a part every 2 weeks. Therefore, I'm going to start a new posting schedule. What I'll do is continue to post every Wednesday as I have been until this story arc is complete (Part 209 -- see my TOC for a list of story arcs). When I have completed it, I'll take another hiatus until I have finished writing the next story arc. Then, I'll start posting again until that story arc is complete or until I have finished the following story arc, etc. I apologize for the delays and for any confusion.

If you absolutely cannot stand the idea of another hiatus in this story, I am also opening up a third Beta position. I don't know what I'd do without John's and IolantheAlias's insights and comments (and not to mention comma & grammar corrections) and their stead-fast dedication to my insanely long story. Should you like to apply for the beta position, please PM me.

Thank you all for your patience and continued readership! notworthy Please post any comments here.

CLARK: [Linked Image]

Quote
He needed to tell Lois the truth… or as close to the truth as he dared to get.
Oh my. He’s going to tell her that she’s just a poor imitation of the glorious reporter he fell in love with. And her defective clone.
CLOIS: Hey!
CLARK: You weren’t hot for me on our wedding night while the real Lois would have been…
CLOIS: [Linked Image]
LOIS: And you think that’s a *bad* idea? mad
ANOTHER LOIS: Want some Kryptonite, sister?

Quote
Enough to make her understand the risks of going forward with a relationship with him, but not enough that she would leave him forever. She deserved that much.
So: ‘I can’t do a homerun with you but we can still play with third base and make you win’?

Quote
She deserved much better than him, his provisional truths, and his apparent naiveté when it came to women,
[Linked Image] : wave

Quote
but Clark was afraid that if he handled this wrongly – phrased the truth badly – he would lose her completely.
For instance: I have a wife. Had a fiancée. Hooked up with my highschool buddy. And well in love with at least one other Lois.

Quote
but he wanted to delay the inevitable for as long as possible
Couldn’t he lock her up on an isolated island fortress?

Quote
well, Clark feared she would end up with someone who would hurt her more than he could and he would be unable to intercede.
Couldn’t he hover close and intercede when the creep tries something?

Quote
Although, he still didn’t understand how Mayson had thought he had asked her out on a date.
CLARK: Mayson, would you go out to lunch with me tomorrow?

Quote
In his old dimension, Clark hadn’t been an active dater, having been in a relationship with Lana for so long
Yeah, I guess picking out basically random women who send him panties via e-mail for a complimentary dinner and some calories burning afterwards wouldn’t be called dating.

Quote
He didn’t know all the ins and outs and, shamefully, all the lingo and code words one used in dating
Like ‘want to come in for coffee’ means ‘let’s get naked’ or ‘I want to move in with you’ means ‘let’s get naked. Often.’.
CLARK: That’s confusing. Why would I want to be naked with a roommate or while sharing a coffee? Besides, I prefer fruit tea.
LOIS: razz

Quote
Actually, Lois had gone out of her way to clarify that every meal be counted as a working lunch or dinner, and not a date.
That was just for tax purposes or to be able to charge it to the expense account.
CLARK: I was?
LOIS: razz

Quote
Linda King had hinted that she wanted to be more than just colleagues too, but he had always chalked that up to her rivalry with Lois.
No, that’s because she’s easy.

Quote
Since Lois hadn’t jumped to the wrong conclusion that he had invited Mayson out on a date, Clark took it to mean that Lois had trusted enough in his love to know that he didn’t want to date anyone else.
Or it’s that she knows he’s terrible at keeping a secret and how much Mayson detests men who defy every law known to women of science.

Quote
Just having those thoughts while she sat next to him, while they were out in public, was somewhat embarrassing.
I hear that’s why the highschool boys carry their books in front of them.

Quote
Sure, sometimes, Lois died in his arms at the end of their lovemaking
laugh He really thinks he can last a day?

Quote
Sometimes, Lois rejected him completely or said something along the lines of how she wished he were more like Luthor in some way.
Like possessing a forked tongue?

Quote
When they kissed, Clark allowed himself to hold Lois, but didn’t allow his hands to wander.
Must be doing wonders for her selfesteem…
LOIS: Maybe I should not have had Clark remove the treadmill. Let’s see, the closest Fudgecastle is at…

Quote
Thankfully, she hadn’t put any pressure on him until she had invited him to share her bed by rubbing her bedspread the other night
Oh, look! He had noticed.
CLARK: [Linked Image]

Quote
The lack of her pleasure still didn’t make sense to him. She should be hovering out of her seat with excitement.
Right. He really is a naïve idiot.

Quote
“Which of our stories was nominated?”
Oh. That’s why.
CLARK: confused

Quote
Lois had her hands folded together in her lap and she was staring at her fingers as she rubbed her thumb. Her knuckles were turning white.
Don’t cha worry, dear. He’ll take you with him to the awards ceremony if you promise to kiss him afterwards.

Quote
Lois leapt onto his praise with enthusiasm. “Aren’t I? What’s the matter with the Kerth Committee this year? All my stories, even the ones we worked on together, are better than some lame, boring…”
It’s because they think she’s a bad person for trying to marry Lex. Plus, her investigation is to blame for the sudden lack in personal funding of the Kerth Committee members.

Quote
I had been eyeing a new gown for when I was nominated, but now it doesn’t matter what I wear.
Maybe something low cut, so he will get an idea about what’s on her mind for when they get back home?

Quote
“I’d much rather share the evening with you, but since you clearly don’t want to go, maybe Mayson would be inter…”
Brave. Foolish but very brave.

Quote
and worship the ground that you walk upon.”
He should have Superman ask out Lois?

Quote
“I’m sure she’ll forgive you. I always do for some reason,” Lois retorted. “And after the Kerth Committee snubbed me, I’m considering a boycott.”
Maybe someone should tell her that there’s only one submission per publication and category? So, that means Perry selected Clark’s story as the strongest prospect.
PERRY: help
LOIS: mad

Quote
“Then why did he act as if his folks had just died when I asked him about it?” he probed.
Maybe he just found out that the two people who got medically experimented on in the retirement home where Jor-El and Lara?

Quote
“Even though it wasn’t you who was singled out, Lois, it’s still an honor for the Daily Planet. We’re a team. When one of us is nominated, we all are.”
So, Lois won Ralph three Kerth Awards and a fourth one for Claude?

Quote
“No idea,” she scoffed. “Even he said that I’m twice the writer that he is and should have been nominated. Although, in all fairness, that isn’t quite accurate, being that it’s more like five times better than him, but that’s beside the point,” Lois went on.
She’s quite gracious, isn’t she?
LOIS: Why? He got x-ray vision. Super-hearing. Super-speed. And he’s years from the future. And with all those things, I still manage to beat him out on stories, so that makes me /counts with fingers/ yeah, five times better than him.

Quote
Additionally, if she didn’t like to boast, then why had she mentioned how many Kerth Awards were gathering dust on her bookshelf?
Three sounds much less boastful than ‘multiple’ or ‘several’?

Quote
“Yep, you’re minha, and I’m not sharing,” he said, squeezing her waist. “I saw you first. I’ve got dibs.”
Quite cavemen of him.
Father Carlos: Plus, I’m legally obligated to abstain.

Quote
He could feel Lois’s cheeks rise as she smiled. “I’ve got an idea, but you aren’t going to like it.”
Wear something even lower cut than the dress?

Quote
Clark looked down at his getup. Nobody in Stoke’s club was going to take him seriously. They were going to fall to the floor and laugh while holding their stomachs. He could not pull off this look.
confused Clark’s going to go in as cougar bait?

Quote
“I’m not wearing this,” he called to Lois, who was changing in her bedroom. “It’s too tight.”
Says the man wearing tights.

Quote
“Have you heard something, I haven’t?” he teased.
Umm…some extra print in there.

Quote
“Hmmm?” she repeated, her fingers moved down the front of his shirt to his leather pants. Her focus never strayed from her hand as it worked its way down from his hip.
shock

Quote
Clark said as his mind went to a horrible spot where an imaginary tabloid headline blared ‘Superman Has Fun in Leather.’
clap

Quote
“Tough men with spiky hair who wear leather and sunglasses don’t get bothered,” she explained.

Wanna bet?
laugh

Quote
Her lips were too red and her hair too big for there not to be a provocative outfit hidden underneath her coat.
Maybe a habit?

Quote
Lois slapped his hand away. “No touching the merchan…” She hesitated. “— dise… no.” She appeared to be contemplating something, before saying adamantly, “No.”
clap Did Lex just sour the idea of naughty roleplay for her?

Quote
“Buck up, Chuck. It’s only make believe,” she said, striding out into the hall.
That she looks like that?
CLARK: mecry

Quote
So, I apologize if there were more typos and grammatical mistakes than usual.
Actually...

Quote
I am also opening up a third Beta position.
Actually, if work weren't so unpredictable, I might actually... But this way, I get to still enjoy the story and make happy notes along the way hyper

CLARK: huh Does that mean you agree with me or not?
LOIS: [Linked Image] Jimbo! You're up! Oh, wait. You dated my sister. Never mind.
JIMBO: mecry
LOIS: I give up and moving to Gotham City. Maybe there's an honest, decent man living there.
[Linked Image]: I'm afraid not.

Quote
For instance: I have a wife. Had a fiancée. Hooked up with my highschool buddy. And well in love with at least one other Lois.
CLARK: Yes, that would be an example of "wrong".

Quote
Couldn’t he lock her up on an isolated island fortress?
Unlike Lex Luthor, Clark only wants Lois if she's willing. (i.e. Lex did too, but he kept your idea as his fall back plan.)

Quote
Couldn’t he hover close and intercede when the creep tries something?
MAYSON: She's want me to issue a restraining order against Superman? Doesn't he keep saving her life on a daily basis?
HENDERSON: I know, that's what I told her, but she said she has her reasons to risk it.

Quote
CLARK: Mayson, would you go out to lunch with me tomorrow?
CLARK: Exactly. I didn't say "on a date"! Also, lunch... not dinner.

Quote
Yeah, I guess picking out basically random women who send him panties via e-mail for a complimentary dinner and some calories burning afterwards wouldn’t be called dating.
CLARK: I didn't do that. After I met Lois, it was either her or nobody.
LOIS: I get that reaction, a lot.

Quote
Like ‘want to come in for coffee’ means ‘let’s get naked’ or ‘I want to move in with you’ means ‘let’s get naked. Often.’.
CLARK: That’s confusing. Why would I want to be naked with a roommate or while sharing a coffee? Besides, I prefer fruit tea.
LOIS: /razz/
clap Actually, this Clark isn't as big a tea drinker as canon Clark.

Quote
That was just for tax purposes or to be able to charge it to the expense account.
CLARK: I was?
LOIS: /razz/
CLARK: But I don't charge for my services.

Quote
No, that’s because she’s easy.
CLARK: Totally didn't get that vibe.
LOIS: He really is too innocent for his own good. Then, again, he did befriend Cat, so his slut-dar must be on the fritz.

Quote
Or it’s that she knows he’s terrible at keeping a secret and how much Mayson detests men who defy every law known to women of science.
Only if it means more paperwork for her.

Quote
I hear that’s why the highschool boys carry their books in front of them.
That makes sense.

Quote
He really thinks he can last a day?
You're absolutely correct. There is a possibility that Lois will survive the curse, and he'll die.

Quote
Like possessing a forked tongue?
LOIS: I really liked it when Lex did XYZ for me.
LEX: Wait. What? That's not right. I never did anything for that woman that didn't benefit me first.

Quote
Must be doing wonders for her selfesteem…
LOIS: Maybe I should not have had Clark remove the treadmill. Let’s see, the closest Fudgecastle is at…
He's still kissing her passionately.

Quote
Oh, look! He had noticed.

LOIS: Oh, really?

Quote
Right. He really is a naïve idiot.
Or never seen Lois really happy.

Quote
Oh. That’s why.
CLARK: /confused/
He's a good guy. Of course he'd assume she was nominated.

Quote
Don’t cha worry, dear. He’ll take you with him to the awards ceremony if you promise to kiss him afterwards.
CLARK: I know! Why is she so upset?

Quote
It’s because they think she’s a bad person for trying to marry Lex. Plus, her investigation is to blame for the sudden lack in personal funding of the Kerth Committee members.
All could be possible.
LOIS: Bias, I say! They are biased against me!

Quote
Maybe something low cut, so he will get an idea about what’s on her mind for when they get back home?
LOIS: Maybe I should just something from Cat's almost-not-there collection. He needs a BIG hint.

Quote
Brave. Foolish but very brave.

Quote

Superman wasn't nominated for a Kerth Award.

Oh. That's just sad.
CLARK: mecry How can you even joke about such things?

Quote
So, Lois won Ralph three Kerth Awards and a fourth one for Claude?
She won one for Claude.
LOIS: Inadvertently.
EW: But Ralph only joined the DP for less than a year. He came on after the Messenger story and left before 1994 Kerth Awards.

Quote
She’s quite gracious, isn’t she?
LOIS: Why? He got x-ray vision. Super-hearing. Super-speed. And he’s years from the future. And with all those things, I still manage to beat him out on stories, so that makes me /counts with fingers/ yeah, five times better than him.
She's just being honest.
PERRY: And tactful.
CLARK: That's tactful?
PERRY: For Lois, yes.

Quote
Three sounds much less boastful than ‘multiple’ or ‘several’?
I was going for "she couldn't help herself."

Quote
Quite cavemen of him.
Father Carlos: Plus, I’m legally obligated to abstain.
Some women like their men to playact like cavemen, sometimes.

Quote
Wear something even lower cut than the dress?
CLARK: Do we really need to catch these sound robbers?

Quote

No. Superman wears tights. Clark wears suits. Big difference.

Ooops. Thanks. Fixed.

No. She's debating on whether letting him see and touch would increase his desire or sate it. Perhaps the unknown, or the not-knowing, will... um... stoke his fire.

Thanks, Michael, for considering it. I'm happy for FDK either way. smile I just wanted to allow anyone (possible lurkers out there) who didn't want more delays to know that there was always another route available to read my story.
