Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Another Lois (8/25)

“You presented Lex with a problem: your goodness, your naiveté, your quest for justice, your dogged search for the truth. Could he form public opinion through you? Well, obviously he could. Could he make you turn against everything you held most dear?

No, not love. Ego. Your pride wouldn’t listen,” Bobby clarified. “You wanted to believe the line he fed you, Lane, because his attention made you feel important.

My apologies to all of you who don't read WHAM warnings.

“No,” she told herself out loud. “It can’t be.” It must be a coincidence. It couldn’t possibly be the same guy. It couldn’t.

Clark Kent wasn’t real. He was her partner in her dreams. He wasn’t real.

A note she didn’t remember writing, despite it being in her handwriting.

Lois flattened the notebook paper on her desk and tried to press out all the wrinkles.

If there were a way to save him… to make it so he did exist…

“I wonder what little Miss Innocent Reporter would have done with a solicitation charge?”

. “So, Lex Luthor came into the Metro Club…” Lois led Toni back to the topic at hand.

“And we hit it off. He invited me back to his penthouse for dinner later that week and discovered we had mutual interests in the West River.

“That’s how gentlemen used to choose companions at the club, by offering her a rose. If she accepted it, then it meant she accepted everything that came with it.

It was Lex’s way of telling me that we were over and he had moved on to his next conquest.”

Lois thought about that rose she had caught from Lex at the end of her song. Had he really expected her to bed him after that? Was that the real reason he had stopped by her apartment after her shift at the club?

Lois raised a brow. “Are you saying that you and Lex… had progressed past dinners?”

A sly grin crept to the corner of Toni’s mouth. “As you know, there was nobody quite like Lex between the sheets.”

Lois’ jaw dropped. She couldn’t believe that, at least not in a positive way. Lex had been so reserved, so cold.

“But you and Lex dated for months,” Toni remarked.

I like your explanation for why Lois believed Lex... I never really understood why Lois was with Lex, she didn't seem to love him. I like what Bobby said about it... Joan

I always wondered why Lex came by Lois' apartment. It was so un-Lex like. Maybe now we know why!

For the nosey guys: Would you consider posting the parts of the WHAM warning that are already revealed up until here? Please? Pretty please? With continuous updates as the gooeyness gets revealed?

Clark is killed as a baby by Tempus back in 1966. By killing Clark, Tempus inadvertently wipes out his own existence. This event causes time to shatter and the formation of another dimension in which Clark doesn’t exist. (Canon Dimension is fine though; canon Clark and canon Lois return to their time and S2 continues as in canon – no harm, no foul.) The shattering of time means that this new Lois and new Wells can only travel forward in time, not backwards to right this horrible wrong. Baby Clark’s death also means that when Lois and H.G. Wells leave 1966, they will no longer remember Clark, Superman, or Tempus, because they will no longer meet them or each other in the future.

Lois refuses to accept this fate for Clark or herself. H.G. Wells informs her that the only way to “unshatter” time is to figure out how Tempus’s destiny is linked to Clark’s/Superman’s and find some other way to save the man from the future. If they can figure out a way to make Tempus survive, then they can “unshatter” time and go back into the past to save baby Clark. Lois and Wells give each other notes to explain what has happened and what their assignment is to save Tempus.

Upon returning to 1995, Lois is thrown into a world where she no longer remembers Clark and where Superman never existed. Season 2 continues… only without him and his influence in it. Since there has been no Clark or Superman in this new destiny, many people who survived in canon dimension will not do so intact, or at all, in this dimension. This includes people , in Metropolis... . It also means that Clark isn’t there to distract Lois from Dan Scardino, so he also will have a larger romantic part in her life than in canon. (All sorts of WHAM warnings here.)

Be reassured that not all is without hope –

My Betas reassure me that Book 1 can be considered a Dark Comedy (either that or I have a real sick sense of humor). The darkest and hardest parts to read (unless you have some gag-reflux to Dan Scardino) will be Parts 1, and . Everything else is somewhere between the silliness of Green-Eyed Monster and the drama of Missing Lois. Be warned though, since there is no Superman or Clark Kent alive in this story, many people *will* die. Also, not everything in Lois' life will be sunshine and roses.

If my reassurances have not relayed your fears for a future lightness after the darkness of this story, please feel free to skip Book 1 entirely and start with Book 2, which will have not so many deaths . Book 1 is recommend prior to reading Book 2, but not required. Each Book in this trilogy is a separate story and can be read alone or as part of the whole series. You could even read Book 1 after reading Book 2. Feel free to email me at lc.virginiaR@gmail.com , if you need to know in more detail who will die or get injured or how close Lois and Dan become in Book 1.

Nah, don’t cha worry, hon. Can’t be the same guy. Would be physically impossible, right? So… you’re golden, then?

What if she has a multiple personality disorder or some other mental health issue?

Okay, MPD usually does different handwritings, doesn’t it? They had that on B5… So, what else could account for that? And should they lock her away?

/waits for her to go completely cuckoo

He just went to the top of her ‘to-kill’ list.

Lulu learned it in her time in highschool. She was always the nerd while Lois was the geek. And Lola was the party girl.

Huh. What did he leave Lois behind? And I checked, you didn’t really go into that in Part 1.

Huh. Years of birth and death?

His arrest was probably illegal. And he just apprehended Lois in self-defense after she burglarized his place of business.

Nono, Lois. That was not murder. That was self-defense, too. After all, Menken might have turned state’s evidence.

Wow. Looks like she had some fights, huh? She got made some girl’s bitch? Or is she the kingpin of cellblock AA-38, now?

*G* And isn’t that goldplated poodoo?

Would that have actually stuck? Or would the reporter-aspect have been a viable alibi?

So, Toni was a working girl, too? Johnny really was going all out, wasn’t he?

*G* So, she *does* by now realize that Lex knew her already, doesn’t she?

That *wasn’t* their first meeting, was it? /only remembers she went to the White Orchid Ball, not if she met him/

Oh darn it! *Now* they tell me?

And now it’s Toni to be shocked She must be gay…

BC: 6

Amm… Didn’t you only parts earlier reflect you’d have ended up missing?

“Not since the radio frequencies for your bugs and Loiscam got leaked on the ‘net, no. The one in the shower is especially popular. And there’s a select group that pays top dollar for the one that hidden inside… no, I can’t mention it. Just renovate your bathroom. Completely.

Damage control?

Okay. So we finally find the note to self.

How did it wind up in her drawer between a couple of boxes of DFC bars?

Now she just has to figure it out. Call on the dead author. Oh my.

How that? Vague enough for you?

Does that mean I can throw away this note now?

I thought they only did that a) if other knew about it, and b) if she were a danger to herself or others.

Seriously, do you think Lois would ever admit to being nuts?

Why? Did he break into her secret chocolate stash? Or just correct her?

Correction: Lola was the drama queen, Wanda was the party girl.

How many sexual partners they had?

Especially loved the Works perfectly!

Probably. Unless it doubles as a Jimmy Interruptus?

a) People in the office might start to talk, eventually. And b) she still has her car keys, doesn't she?

PS: I just realized, probably will be till the weekend for next FDK on Lois.

What? You didn't know Tempus' great, grandma was Cat Grant?

Nah, I probably drove him away with my Tank geared WHAM warning.

So, that's why Tempus is always [interrupting?) Lois and Clark's happy-time. He's an Olsen!

She really did
