You can find the [i]Another Dimension, Another Time, Another Lois[/i] TOC here. I hope you all enjoyed tonight's cliffy ending. I had to do something to compete with cable, right? Comments?

When I got up this morning, I saw that you posted, but I had to work (no time to read and to comment ). Now I have some time after lunch Shamus went to hold her down and Lois was able to get in a good head-butt. Thankfully, he wasn’t expecting it and slipped to the floor. She heard Patrick roar with anger, and she rocked the table over, knocking one of the candlesticks onto Patrick. His robes caught fire as if he had been covered by a silent flash powder, and he started to holler as the door of the suite burst open.
“Housekeeping! I’ve got towels,” announced the same maid who had kept barging in on her and Jimmy’s stay at the honeymoon suite, as she popped into the room.
The maid saw Shamus passed out on the floor, Lois tied to the upturned table, and Patrick on fire nearby, and rightly flew out of the room screaming. A few moments later, Lois heard the fire alarm go off down the hall.

“Sarah said that she takes a seminar with Dr. Maxwell Deter of the Metropolis Neuroscience Center. She really likes him.” Eek! Not Max! Don't do it Lois! “If you could be an animal, what type of animal would you be? Excluding invertebrates, viruses, and certain classes of phytoplankton?” Star rattled off. Boy does that sound like Star. What an exciting revelation for Lois You've got to post the next chapter soon. Joan

Ooh! Excellent chapter! I can't wait to read more. She knows! And she's finally figuring it out! Hopefully this will help fix things! Is there more to read! If so, I'm off to read it now! Edit: Drat. Nothing. Update now, lest you face my wrath!

“Jimmy, these past few months alone we’ve dealt with you being brainwashed, someone who wanted to do a head-transplant, that insane machine that can super-fry an entire city, and now Patrick and his mystical druid mask – give me the benefit of the doubt here. I know I sound bonkers, but what I’m saying isn’t any more off-the-wall than those things.” And the sad thing is that this is totally true. There were so many good lines in this! I wish I could quote them all. I'll leave that to other feedbackers, though. And the Lexor customer service with lack of privacy - hee hee hee!

Well, you managed it. I was convinced that there was no was she would get away from Patrick without super assiatancd but she did. Kudos. Okay, now she is putting two and two together and coming up with CK=S. Where do we go from here? To quote a friend of mine 'Only time will tell'.

Sydney: First again, I see. Sorry, I didn't get it posted in time for the bus. Really must have ready to post before the turn of the hour. Who needs a Superman? SuperLois and SuperMaid to the rescue!

Always a pleasure to entertain you. And the Lexor customer service with lack of privacy - hee hee hee! I figured if she was likely to walk in on the Honeymoon suite, why not all the other suites.

This one seemed a little more believeable than Jimmy's Dad to the rescue, but personally they were the two plot devices I apologized to Ray to in my WHAM warning. He really hates those. Okay, now she is putting two and two together and coming up with CK=S. Where do we go from here? To quote a friend of mine 'Only time will tell'. Well, it looks like you've answered your own question. Or to be cheeky, I'll just say... Part 20?

deleted this post as the second is better formatted and identical
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx. JONATHAN: A jinx? CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me. -"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)

He sat down next to her desk and Lois continued to ignore his presence. After a while, he sighed heavily. “Sarah said that she takes a seminar with Dr. Maxwell Deter of the Metropolis Neuroscience Center. She really likes him.” Originally posted by scifiJoan: [qb] Eek! Not Max! Don't do it Lois!Yes, Joan, I did mention the name who sends chills down most women's spines. He's one of the more creepier villains I think. I think he really is, most especially for us ladies as he's the kind of villain we face every day. The potential to be influenced and taken advantage of. In some ways I think of him as worse than Luthor.
I love you, Lois, with a pure heart. As much as I wish I could say otherwise, I cannot guarantee anything else. Awww. How romantic of a response. “Lois, who’s Superman?” Star inquired.
“Oh!” Lois could feel a big smile come to her mouth as it did whenever she thought of her Man of Steel. “He’s the most fantastic guy. I love him. I mean, I’m in love with him. We are meant to be together forever and ever. It’s destiny. I felt it when he first held me in his arms. I just knew. Kismet. Fate.”
“Okay,” Star said hesitantly. “Lois, you didn’t answer my question. Who is Superman?” Why do I get the feeling that Star is putting two and two together to get CK=S here. I've always had the mental impression that she had figured out the truth at one point. It doesn't seem likely that she would be the kind of person to discount that sort of stuff.
“Yes. Tempus killed baby Clark by covering him with green rocks. Green glowing rocks, only they’re not glowing anymore.” Lois shook her head. “No, that can’t be right. No. No! That doesn’t make sense. If Clark died due to green rocks…” "...then Clark is most certainly dead."?
"...then he's Superman."?
I'm just trying to remember, did she ever have any Superman dreams where kryptonite was involved?
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx. JONATHAN: A jinx? CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me. -"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)

Christina: I agree with your observations on Deter. He's different type of creepy than Luthor, because Deter's kind of creepy could happen to any of us. Lois learned about Kryptonite while dreaming about Smallville (GGGoH). The entire dreams aren't shown in the story due to space limitations (and the DVDs tell the whole canon so much better than my rehashings do ). Although, now that Star has programmed Lois' memory for fast forward, they will be coming at a faster pace. Speaking of Star... Why do I get the feeling that Star is putting two and two together to get CK=S here. I've always had the mental impression that she had figured out the truth at one point. It doesn't seem likely that she would be the kind of person to discount that sort of stuff. In canon I'm surprised she didn't pick up it either, especially when Clark says his name is "Kal-El" when she hypnotises him in "Contact" to see what was on Bob Fences monitor. In this universe, there is no Superman, so when Star is asking Lois "who is Superman" it's because she's never heard of him before. And she asks Lois a second time, because Lois' first answer is a bit vague. EDIT: Ooops, you double posted there, Christina.

Oh, look. I’m only three FDK’s and one read behind. Well, two now. ~You heard Star. I’m not dying anytime soon, Clark. Stop worrying.~ I think we can all say it together now: “Yes. I told you I had information about it.” One of these days she would learn not to run into a situation like this without back-up. Yes. And win the lottery. How could she ever have described them as beautiful? It’s all a matter of perspective? He and Shamus had donned robes. Huh. Goth candle sticks. Male leads wearing robes. Glass table. Girl tied on top of it. It that the climax scene of a bad porn movie? Oh, wait, Lois still has her clothes on, so, apparently, not. What was that about not dying any time soon?
~Really? Now? Do you really think this is the time for an ‘I told you so’?~ You might be dead later on, and I don’t know if I’ll see you then. “What is it about the filthy rich that makes you all want to kill me?” It’s like with Ferraris. You just have to have one to be accepted into the club. “This…” Lois said, tugging on her bindings. “… isn’t love.” Says the woman who’s had far worse declarations of love. Patrick looked her over from head to shoes with unveiled interest. Lois had to love the Lexor Hotel for its excellent customer service in lack of guest privacy. Also, by the same token, they provide amateur home videos for their guests. “Lois, he said that you were hysterical and calling out for Superman to rescue you.”
“I was not!” Lois defended her actions and then mumbled, “I only called out for him once.” /shakes head/ Not helping your case here. see? “Clark? This Clark – CK fellow – isn’t your partner, Lois, I am. Are you saying that he contacted this Star woman on my behalf? That he’s impersonating me?” he sputtered. “Sarah was right; he isn’t good for you.” *G* “You’re starting to act really weird. Clark isn’t from this reality?” he asked incredulously. I think it’s time for the padded room now. “Yes, Lois, it sounds very crazy. This is just the type of thing that Sarah warned me to be on the lookout for,” he told her. Also, he should be really careful when Lois stops in front of gun or knife stores. And Outdoor Woman. “Of course he doesn’t exist, Jimmy; someone, somehow went back in time and killed him off before he became a reporter, so Clark doesn’t exist now. Duh! Lois really should ditch that pup of a partner. A man that pure of heart, who also looks that hot in a skintight suit, isn’t going to fall for someone like me. He’s definitely just a fantasy.”
“Eww, Lois,” Jimmy said as an expression of horror crossed his face. “Too much information.” “Perry’s not going to accept that, Lois. Hearsay. You’re the only one who witnessed Sullivan catching fire and disappearing into a cloud of ash.” Oh boy. That’s not good. “And I’m too batty to use my observations as fact anymore?” she retorted. “And the maid saw him on fire. Why do you think she pulled the fire alarm?” She didn’t. That was Shamus after Lois set his boss on fire. Duh!

Oh, look, Michael has decided to join us. Oh, look. I’m only three FDK’s and one read behind. Well, two now I could slow down my posting schedule, but I think it would get me killed. I think we can all say it together now: Well, as you know, not all my jokes smell like roses, some smell like fertilizer. Yes. And win the lottery.

Oh, look, Michael has decided to join us. There was a long line and I wondered what was so interesting? I could slow down my posting schedule, but I think it would get me killed. /nods/ Quite possibly... And I'm certain there are far less painful kill scenarios out there. Well, as you know, not all my jokes smell like roses, some smell like fertilizer. Michael

There was a long line and I wondered what was so interesting? Um... my story?... or were you talking about the new Avenger's movie? /nods/ Quite possibly... And I'm certain there are far less painful kill scenarios out there. Less painful for me? Or for you?... being that I wouldn't be able to post the last few parts of my story? but not *in* the joke. Yes, sorry, about any smelly jokes. I do hang out with a 4 year old boy all day and he's warping my sense of humor. I did recently cut a fart joke from Book2. Phew! I was worried about that one. It took an extra 5 pages of silly banter to get around it, but I did it. My advanced apologies for the length of Book2. She does come highly recommended. Some court of Cryon or something like that. Yeah, according to Paulson she's hiding out from her ex-fiancee who's a real loser.
