Well, the suspense is over. Now you know and probably more than you wanted to know.

Please leave all comments, tomatoes, and ax-men here.

REMINDER: My RL will be really busy next weekend, so instead of posting parts on June 5th, 7th, and 9th (or late the night before those dates), I'm going to post on the June 5th, 6th, and 7th instead. I'll return to posting every other day again on the 11th. My apologies in advance if this posting glitch causes any confusion with my readers. Feel free to read the parts every other day (as they would normally post) if that makes that space between the 7th and the 11th of June seem shorter.

Okay, so the parallels continue. Lois is going to stow away and Superman is about to make his debut.

Are we going to be following canon all the way now?

Let's get off this merry go round and go after Luthor!

/whistles the tune to 'Memory' from Cats/

Lois remembers! Well, she remembers the "previous" life. Perhaps it's easier to remember the alt-life one world back than two, like it's progressive or something? I don't know- but it's great so far! for Jimmy to die(not die) so soon... it's an interesting twist. I don't recall if you mentioned in AL when Jimmy died, but for some reason, I did not think it was so early on.

) I suppose I'll live.

Finally caught up to where you are, and you are going to drop out on me?! Oh well, hope next week is less fast-paced than this one was.

I am having trouble keeping all the histories in different places. They are all getting blurred into one story, this Lois and Clark's history as it is being written. I am enjoying the combining of the two old stories into this new one.

Since we are only redoing this first season's history right now, I look forward to a long and happy life, soon I hope.

Pat

Interesting chapter. I hope you post more soon. Laura

Ken: Yes, the timeline in this universe is the same as canon's, so many of those same events will show up here (although not all), but they will not be approached in the same manner.

I could say the same to you, Ken! Luthor's villiany will show up in time, Grasshopper. Be paitent.

Mouserocks: I never mentioned when in AL's universe that Jimmy died, only that he had (as I didn't add that aspect to the story until after I started writing this one.)

Basically the same, and probably about as good. I'm sure that if he had grown up through his teenage years with the Kents, their all-encompassing parental love would have kept him more paitent. But this was a teenage boy, who was alone in the world and the only person who was there for him, his best friend, asked him for a favor. How could he say no? It was only that one time.

Anyway, after writing the description of how awful it was with Lana, I felt bad for Clark, I wanted his first time to be better, so he could recognize the difference... and have something better to hope for with Lois. Hee-Hee. Yep, basically the same woman.

Okay, once again...

Canon time = unaltered. That Lois and Clark are fine and doing whatever they're doing over there.

Alt-Dimension = The timeline that alt-Clark left behind, where alt-Lois is dead in the past.

Alt-Canon-Time A = Same as canon dimension until March 17, 1995 (Tempus Fugitive).

Alt-Canon-Time B = March 17, 1995 and beyond (Universe of Another Lois) in which there is no "Clark Kent" .

Alt-Canon-Time C = Same as "B" except that the memories implanted into Lois to explain why the world was different than in "A" are now real. (Universe of Wrong Clark). So, swimming around in Lois' head are all her true memories from timeline "A" and the implanted ones from "B" and now she's living it again with this Clark. This is why some things are familiar to her.

In this "Universe" a new dimension is formed only when a major breech has occured necessitating it, such as Tempus mucking up the timeline. Since Alt-Clark coming to this universe is basically righting it back to it's original/natural form, the time-gods allow it without creating another universe.

For Schrodinger's theory, I think you need to read Ken's Matchmaker Chronicles.

Just don't get too used to that posting schedule. As I wrote, you can always read them every other day as I would have originally posted them. <<ducking>> Or not.

I thought about having a break and waiting until the 11th to post Part 8, pushing all the Part postings back a notch, but I figured since we were coming up on the Prometheus launch I'd be kind, this once. Well, kind to my readers, no promises on kindness to Lois and Clark.

Pat, I'm still posting the parts I would have otherwise, just earlier!

I'm guessing you mean in RL. <<cyber hug!>>

You think you're confused? Try walking in Lois' shoes.

Let's see in canon L&C ending up married at the end of S1 and lived happily ever after, right? Well, that's not going to happen here. <<ducking>> Okay, I may have deserved that one.

Thank you, Laura. More posting late Monday night, late Tuesday night, and late Wednesday night. (Or early Tuesday, Wed., & Thurs, depending on your timezone).

I noticed others caught this too:

The Lois Lane who made him Superman was just like this! He just hasn't seen her go through the changes.

I like your idea that since Alt-Clark grew up without a stable family, that it will influence him. He doesn't have the patience and confidence that 'our' Clark does.

Joan

Just a little, to the readers who know better.

But, of course, Clark doesn't know this.

Thanks, Joan. He's gotten a little confidence boost since becoming Superman in his dimension, but he'll won't be a match for canon Clark in that respect for a long, long time. Maybe with the help and love of a good woman... ... of course, if that woman is S1 Lois... (Just kidding... maybe.)

I'm kind of hoping that Clark's jealousy will help jog Lois it continue to investigate.

Drat, I guess not. I always believed Canon-Lois believed that Clark was jealous of Luthor but I always thought it was mostly later in the first season. I guess in this case this recognition is starting earlier.

It took me a second to figure out why she would say she was the lead reporter like it held some significance and then I realized she was justifying why he was looking to her to confirm his comment.

This comment is from the previous canon history I'm guessing. In the AltCanon1 Jimmy died in this blast?

Uh oh, Lois is suspecting something... then again she could ust be saying that Clark always knew that the chain was easy to break and had already done so before she bled her romantic work history to him.

Are you really sure you can, Clark? I know you talk about Lana but you didn't have such a deep, intense reaction to her as you did Lois. You may not know it but considering how close she is to the original Lois he may have his work cut out for himself.

Yikes, I can't imagine how that would work (the controlling his flight during sex part, that is as I have to imagine that in that moment it's probably an involuntary thing.

He says that now but wait until you have a reason to go "I give up, take me please!!"

Christina: Extra Long FDK! Thanks you.

Yep, when they had their argument about the "interview date", she realized that Clark didn't just dislike Luthor, he was jealous that he got a date with Lois and Clark didn't.

Actually, the look is canon. Clark is looking at Lois to see if she believes him about the explosion "flying" them, or if she realized it was him. I had Lois rationalize the look.

Pretty much.

Sorry, fans, it's the latter.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Clark: "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can." Do any of us really believe him?

I've read stories where Clark was sexually involved with other women, before he met Lois, who didn't know he had the ability of flight (I know ). And while this, I'm guessing, is physically possible, I could never imagine it being all that pleasureable for him, IMHO.

He won't have to wait that long, except...

I've always considered canon S1 Lois to be extremely jealous of other women flirting with Clark. I'm not sure why she was, except for the "keep your hands off of this man who is obsessed with me. He's mine!" quality of Lois and Clark's relationship.

I drop a lot of eggs about alt-dimension in this story.

The way Luthor speaks without really saying anything led me to believe that the article was never written.

Canon Lois is the ideal Lois for him to strive for, he just doesn't realize that it was her Clark's love that made her that way. Plus, I think it's hilarious that he's always comparing Lois to herself without even realizing it.

Who? Perry? Sweet innocent editor in Chief? He wouldn't have been thinking of doing that to Lois and Clark, would he have?

Thank you.

We're about to make a sharp right turn from canon... Oh, look at the time. Part 6 will be up momentarily. Got to go!

I love Clark learning all the differences between his dimension and this new dimension. Yes, he has to read a lot of books in the library! I remember he already read some books in Part 1 (about history, I think).

It's amazing what little changes can make a world of difference. Yes, he was mostly studying the historical difference between his dimension and this one in Part 1. He did a quick review of culture, but there is lots that fall through the cracks.

So, she wants to turn Clark on?

Flashforward much, Lois?

They’re bought for by The Boss St. John?

Huh.



But she’s going to attempt to.





Umm…



Probably. Well, maybe. She thinks it could happen, anyway. But at least, she’ll have a much better time with Clark?

Well, so had he. Or does she think it was easy for Claude?

Now we’re bargaining.

Oh look, born-again virgin Lois.

And in case her vow of celibacy won’t hold, at least she won’t boink a co-worker. Unless she breaks that one, too. It does not say anything about marrying a co-worker, though. Also, since she got to the Planet right after college and probably had not that much action due to the whole Paul/Linda situation, she’s likely pretty single digited there in terms of experiences. So, Clark’s way more experienced then her. What with his and Rachel going on for an entire summer as friends with benefits and then Lana requiring a tool to scratch her itch.



Wait, had Lois ever called him Greenjeans? She only thought it earlier.



I’m not so sure. I think she made a great escort for Lex.

Hey, Jimmy’s not a reporter.



Oh, Lois.

Did she infer, or re-remember, that or had Clark actually been this blunt with her in part 3 or 4?

Huh. And here I thought she turned away because of the horror of it. Come to think of it, S1 Lois keeps turning away from death from start to finish.

Oh…Lois…

Duh. And what’s a hundred people who don’t even hold policies with Lex-Life.

That’s not correct. He could have head-butted her.

The others are right. :rolleyes:



So, what’s that? 20% of the total jobs available?

That’s a lot of clues…

Duh. She might kill him.

Michael

They WERE engaged at the time.

Does she have any choice in the matter?

Only every once in a while since that Clark Kent guy showed up.

When did Nigel become "The Boss"? And Metropolis isn't Gotham.



But telling Lois that wouldn't be reassuring.

There's only one way to make it worst and Clark (and this writer) don't do that.

Actually.... it wasn't all that difficult back then to seduce Lois.

Just trying to explain her actions in canon.

Um... Well, you know how well Lois is at sticking to her 3 Rules? This kind of falls into that category... unless she actually WANTS to be like canon Lois and really WAIT. We'll have to see.

Not the best way to impress the new boss.

Yes, but, she's already taken.

I believe that number was canon.

Teflon coated clues.

Exactly.

I was thinking Rachel.

She could pout? Umm... Hmm... Michael

Oh. It was the mid-'80s. They were teenagers. They were experimenting. They only did it once. So,

Oh, I see.

That bad. Pure selfishness. Bad Claude!

Really, what happens in Part 6? Oh, wait, can't say, because this is Part 5 FDK. Too bad.

Probably, but in a good way. (I love that guy!)



/Psst. Clark doesn't hit girls/

Yep.

No, well, I don't know we'll have to ask Rachel and she... Oh, wait! Wrong dimension. *HE* thought it felt good, and didn't hear any complaints. That work for you. And I'm guessing, based on her experience level, Lois wouldn't know either way.

No, probably not. One of the perk of invulnerability.

He's been in this dimension less than 2 weeks, Michael. Give him a break!

Never mind. I didn't realize that THAT was our point.

Is THAT why everyone is upset that Superman doesn't save Lex at the beginning of S2? The unemployment numbers! Don't worry, Bender sells the companies to the highest bidder. And there's always his partner in crime Mrs. Luthor, the Ex. She wouldn't let Lex's businesses go down the drain, now would she?
