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

A/N: The reason for my long drawn out disclaimer for the use of Prince's song lyric was that it took me forever to find a copy of the song online, because Prince won't let anyone use his music on YouTube. I didn't want to offend reigning music royality by using his lyric to demonstrate a point in my story.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way. Any comments, or have you all forgotten what was in this part?

Um... let's see, we learned Lucy thinks Clark is Lois' beau, about alt-Lois' family life, that Clark really doesn't know what happened to this dimension's Kal-El, Clark didn't stick around to investigate the Carlen Building explosion with Lois, and that Detective Henderson and Inspector Henderson are actually 16th cousins, 3 times removed, or not. There was more fun stuff too, but you'll have to go back and re-read Part 15 to get it all. Enjoy.

Long FDK later, this thought couldn't wait.

I don't know why but I immediately had the thought of Canon Clark taking Alt-Clark out to Smallville to do some sort of sparring/training with regards to his heritage. A sort of Super Summer Camp.

Lots of interesting info here. Lois in the alt dimension had a very different upbringing, since her mother died giving birth to her sister. I half expected Clark to visit his parents then had to remind myself that his parents died when he was young. He has yet to meet this Jonathan and Martha.

Good chapter. Thanks. Looking forward to more soon. Laura

Christina: Super Summer Camp? Nope, I have no recollection of that. I just remember that canon L&C were ready to send alt-Clark on his way so that they could celebrate properly Clark escaping from the time window (and Lois more than ready to let alt-Clark go so it wouldn't slip that she almost kissed him). Oh, you mean, my line made you think that. That you couldn't picture the two Clark's talking about their heritage. I don't know, I always picture the two Clarks like long lost twins, that they would want to know all about the other one, yet they never seem to do that.

Joan: Yes, alt-Lois grew up much different from canon Lois, so I'm guessing they ended up just the same, right? Clark did go to Smallville, but more checking for bad guys than talking to Mom and Dad. He doesn't have a relationship like that in this dimension (or in his home dimension) which is why Cat Grant is important.

Laura: Thank you. More posting tonight.

Sorry! Busy, busy, busy! Got my class schedule now and everything (supposedly) is on the up, and just got around to reading this and catching up. Good chapter! Loved the Prince reference, and the Detective Henderson/Inspector Henderson jokes. Also thought Lucy's intervention was

Thanks, Mouse. Sorry, your RL is still running you amuck.

It wasn't until I was looking at The Complete Guide to LnC Characters that I realized that the man who was showing them the bomb fragments was supposed to be the SAME Det. Henderson from the Pilot (because they put the WRONG picture up on the website), so in my crazy way that I need to make sense of all the changes the show made, I felt that this needed to addressed.

Yes, just WHY does everyone THINK that Clark and Lois have a relationship? Poor Clark. He doesn't realize that the bus he threw Lois under a few parts ago (for accusing her for stealing his story) is about to make another pass.

My comment was just an imaginary what-if to "Lois and Clarks" not an actual thing. I guess I need to take the concept over to the challenge section. I'm not expecting it to pop up in your story here. I just figure "sparring/training" because of the drei. Then again, I'm reminded of Clark's admission that the most he learned about his culture the more he recognized himself as culturally "human." ("Trey, the more I try to be Kal El, the more I know I am Clark." comes to mind. I suspect that would put a damper on any interest in going through that sort of thing. His heritage resides in a nether background not to be addressed (to him, I guess.) IDK, the more I think about it, the more I realize it wouldn't have happened (and I'm not talking about your story but in general.)

Breathed?

Right.



He really doesn’t like a challenge, does he?

Oh?

Oh girl.

Oh boy. /imagines soldier-type mindset crossed with Lois Lane/

Hi, Michael: Time to play FDK catch-up!

Good guess. No, actually, it was "look so good after a night of working in the office" was what I was trying to imply. And why she goes off to "freshen up".

He'd be with Cat otherwise.



And that would make his life easier, how?

I don't know who this "Carlin" guy is but he seems to have more influence in Metropolis than either Joe or Jerry.

Arianna Carlin
Carlini's Restaurant (where Perry's trying to get lunch during his interview with Clark)
The Carlin Building (that Lex blows up with SM inside)
Professor Carlton (Clark's Journalism prof - close enough)
Dr. Alfred Carlton (Smart Kids - again close enough)

you get the picture. So, I changed the "i" to an "e". So sue me! (I'm stepping off my soap-box now.)

Okay, Tag you're it!

Oops. Duh!



Lois would no longer accuse him of cheating on her with Cat?

But then he'd be dragging poor Jimmy into the fight!

/Love your running guy./ Tag.

tag! Michael

Alt-Clark would have been wise to get the low-down on Lois from the original Clark, but of course if he had this would be a much different story. Actually, if he had known Mad Dog was Lois, maybe he would have been scared off and not even tried this.

Apparently, the Loises, like the Clarkes, in the different dimensions are slightly different personality-wise, although the same in essentials. So, a little advice on Lois from Lois's husband might have ended up with alt-Clark with a piece of K shoved down his throat (after him asking "So, how's the best way to woo Lois?") and/or might not have helped at all. Also, may I recommend, my story: Lois Rules! - A Story where canon Clark actually did try to help alt-Clark out with his Lois. Also, helpful: Lois Lane - A Handbook (in case you want to see the rules without the story attached).

Yes, that's probably true. Knowing that Lois was "Mad Dog" before he started this trip might have scared him off, leaving Lois to live the life she did in Another Lois (the prequel to this story... or Book 1).

OK, I just found Virginia's link to the complete guide to the L&C characters that explains who the other Henderson is.

I had totally forgotten about the guy who explains to them about what is going on with the explosion until I re-watched the episode last week, and even then I had no clue that that was Henderson. I knew TVtropes made comments about Henderson getting a race lift, but I had never understood them until just now.

Clark needs to learn that most of Lois's claims are entirely false. Her claims to not care who he sleeps with are one of her forms of protesting too much. Although I guess since her protestations to having not slept with Superman were true, maybe protesting too much is not always a sign of guilt. However excessive claims of not caring are often a sign of really caring.


Now that I understand who Detective Henderson is things will make a little more sense.

I am pretty sure Lucy would say "Lois took care of me".

I am sure Lucy would say "important to her".

I knew I remembered this angle about Lois, I had just forgotten that it had been said so explicitly.

I am surprised there is anything short of murder Clark will not forgive Lois for.

Thanks. Fixed.

Thanks. Fixed. My future GE thanks you as well. LOL. You're making his/her job easier.

*Very* important.

Also, John, have you checked out this site: List of Characters on LnC by Episode . There's a few errors here and there, but it's pretty accurate. It's my go-to guide for checking spelling of names, who was there, and refreshing my memories and stuff.

Hmm, that site is the link I mentioned above. I had never looked at it before tonight though. Looking through it, it is informative, although it is sometimes funny in its mistakes. Such as identifying Christ Moskal as a major metropolis developer, when that tag should be on his father Mark Moskal.

Much more disturbing they did not list Ellen Lane as a character in "Never on a Sunday".

I am pretty sure that should be "and the paper". At least if you mean The Daily Planet.
