Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Proposed Ignorance (2/8)

OMG! So, I'm guessing Mayson survived the car bomb, here? Poor Lois. This will either clear things up or make them much worse. D:

Oh, no! Now, Lois is going to think that Clark told Mayson but not her. That's going to make things worse. Am I the only one who thinks it would've been better if Clark had said, "Yes, conditionally. We'll discuss this when I return from Japan." And then spin into his Superman uniform in front of her and take off? Then again, who knows what would've happened to Lois's unconscious body lying unprotected in the park.

Mayson?! Yikes! No wonder Lois was mad. Clark really didn't handle this well. This was not the way Lois should've found out. I'm agreeing with QoC. Either Mayson must've survived the bomb, knowing Clark's secret, or this takes place prior to that.

Why is Clark sick? Was the meltdown a trap for Superman? Did the Japanese somehow get hold of Superman's space cradle? Why would they want to hurt him? Or is it merely because he spent so much time underground with out replenishing sunlight that he was effected by the radiation? Get well, Clark! It's better if Lois kills you when you're healthy.

Double Trouble!!! Oh, no! More soon please.

Yes, this Mayson survived the bombing. And yes, this will NOT go over well with Lois.

Hi, Virginia!

You know, I've had the idea of sparing Mayson only to have Lois later on figure out that Mayson knew first for a couple of years now. Your challenge gave me the perfect excuse to bring that storyline in. (It was so much more deliciously evil following a surprise proposal!)

Of course, it *would* have been better for a quick reveal, then a dash to the rescue, but...he's Clark, and not that smart with things like this. Although, I do agree, he would have needed to drop and unconscious Lois off at her apartment to protect her first.

I'm not spoiling anything by saying...I pulled in the virus from HIWTHI. It worked the best with the surprise Mayson reveal.

Absolutely double trouble for Clark!

Oh WOW! This is beyond messed up!



As usual, Clark is only thinking of her, but he really should have told her who he was and then taken off. Shocking? Yeah, but than Lois could have time to consider just who she was asking to spend her life with.


This is radiation after all, it can affect anyone, even Superman.


S.T.A.R. Labs? Bernie?


Yup, crying is the best way to deal with heartache. Clark should never have run off like that!


She might toss out the marriage proposal and finish off the job that the radiation started!

Hi, Morgana! My mind is very much "beyond messed up" when it comes to writing!

Clark's too concerned with the lives in danger to really think about how he probably should have left things with Lois. He knows he royally screwed up by leaving like that, but telling her and bolting off wouldn't have been an option. He would have been too afraid of letting her sit and stew over his deception without getting to explain at all.

I did think of the radiation, but he kind of walked directly into a nuclear reactor to rid himself of the Kryptonite he ingested in Top Copy, and this would be less than that, since it's a leak and not a full blown thing.

Clark probably should have made for S.T.A.R. Labs, huh?

Oh, Lois is going to be mad all right!

…and back again!
Plus, Lois was standing right there and yet, she’s not hovering.

Funny thing, how he next runs away
CLARK: Really? You think that’s *funny*?
ER: From a purely aesthetical PoV, yes, yes it is.

Yes. Sure. Timing.

Oh dear. She’s blaming herself!

Oh dear. Are they burning green crystals?

At least it’s not blood, yet. So the radiation sickness isn’t too far along.

Umm…what about decontamination? And is Mr. Hamada emulating western mannerisms as a courtesy to Superman?

Huh, wonder who.

Yes, Much better to seduce him, get pregnant after a couple of nights and *then* tell him. He’ll likely still take it as a marriage proposal and probably not run off.

A…a…ghost! Clark died and went to Heaven!



Of course he’s in trouble. He’s got a Lois and was found in Mayson’s apartment. Also, she *knows*?

Maybe it’s food poisoning.

TEMPUS:

But Lois had one, too, didn’t she? For Lucy?





Michael

Evil Writer: Hells yeah, it's funny! Sorry, Clark!


Oh course she is. She's Lois.


Or making some, a la Breaking Bad?


Almost wrote it as blood, to be honest.


The same decontamination he needed after Lex's "leak?" And the exposure to radiation in "Top Copy?"

And yes, I figured Mr. Hamada would extend the American custom to him, seeing as Superman is considered an American since he's been vocal about Metropolis being his home.


Zara: Don't look at me!








Clark: Considering how mad Lois is gonna be, I don't think this is "Heaven."


Yup!


I'm not certain we ever knew for sure. For all we know, Lucy was sleeping on the couch or on an air mattress in the living room, especially since she didn't stay with Lois all that long.


Thanks for stopping in!

DC! You get back here and post a much needed Part 3 ( ).

Wow--I did NOT see Mayson making an appearance in the story (let alone Lois finding Clark--as Superman--AT Mayson's apartment after Clark ditching Lois during a marriage proposal!?!). It's amazing how far from a sweet 'will you marry me?' we've come (and in only one part ).

I am really intregued by Mayson living beyond the car bombing--having discovered that Clark is Superman, and then to take it to that next level and have her (Mayson) be part of how Lois then finds out that Clark is Superman. Really interesting !

Yeah...Clark surely did NOT handle this that great. Pretty horrible, even. And I thought he was in trouble with the 'secret identity' thing! Now there's just heaps of hurdles to overcome. Good thing Clark has 6 more parts to put things back into place and happily ever after (I hope ).

Really reeeaaalllly wanting to read more. Just what is that first conversation between them going to be after Clark wakes up? IN the suit, no less!

Great job!!!

I promise - more is coming at the end of the week. Busy couple of days coming up around here.

I love that I could blindside people by throwing in (an in-the-know) Mayson. You'll see - Mayson and Clark have had some dealings that Lois isn't aware of. I've been wanting to do this for a long time now, actually - having Mayson alive and in the know without Lois being in the know.

Clark certainly handled his hasty departure poorly. But his entire world is spinning and his brain hasn't quite caught up to his body yet.

Clark better hope Lois doesn't kill him for this!

Oh no! That is the absolute worst thing he could have done! Fly away for an emergency with no explanation? What's a girl supposed to think?! He would have been better off spinning into the uniform, saying, "We need to talk, just as soon as I get back from Japan," and then zipping away.

And then, when he's on death's door, he shows up at Mayson's place? Nope, I don't care for his reasoning...there is no way Lois is going to take that well! Of all people, Mayson learns the truth before Lois?! /groobie shakes head Lois' claws are going to come out.

I agree fully! Which is exactly why I had him fly off all flustered. Of course, he hasn't had a chance to plan for any of this, so maybe we can cut him a millimeter of slack.

He didn't really have a choice with going to Mayson. It was either land there or fall from the sky. Of course, explain this to Lois....
