Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found HereThanks for reading. Please leave your comments here. *** I'm still sticking to my every third day posting schedule, so Part 28 will post by August 4th. Sorry, it's canning season and both blackberries and peaches are coming in early this year, so I've gotten busy in RL this week catching up on my jam. Oh, and I'm also working on one of my Summer Ficathon stories... so I apologize for not using my extra day for catching up. I'll try harder this week.

I loved the end of this story, where Superman becomes the good fairy for the Kents. That big old guy in tights and a cape, and he's hoping to not be noticed on top of a barn?
Love it! Pat

I LOVE Martha and Jonathan... and I have a crazy (?) idea: they know that Superman helps them in Smallville, and I think they saw the byline of "Clark Kent" in the Planet. What if they understand that Clark Kent is Superman? Just a guess..

Ok I am really loving where this story is going now. I really liked the Jimmy thing even though I usually don't like a whole big thing about Jimmy in these stories and I loved the whole Martha realizing Superman is her secret admirer. I hope you post the next chapter really soon! Laura

Wow! You all loved the Martha and Jonathan scene. Thank you. I'm beginning to think maybe I should have written an Alt-Clark gets new adoptive parents story. Pat: Thanks for the comment. Gee, the poor man can't catch a break, can he? He suspects that he has a moment to watch a sunset, while the Kents get ready for bed, but this is one night Martha takes a peek out her old bedroom window... and catches him being human. Sydney: Glad you loved M&J. and I have a crazy (?) idea: they know that Superman helps them in Smallville, and I think they saw the byline of "Clark Kent" in the Planet. What if they understand that Clark Kent is Superman? What a crazy idea! Yes, what if? Joan: Just a peek through the Smallville window to let you know that Clark hasn't forgotten the Kents, before we take another turn on our Metropolis roller coaster, I'm afraid. Don't worry, they'll have their day. (And, , thus endith -- mostly -- our cameo from Jimbo... for now. And our alt-Love-Triangle -- Lucy & the Jimmys Triangle, that is.) I loved the whole Martha realizing Superman is her secret admirer. Martha's not blind or stupid. She realized it from the get-go. I figured they deserved some pampering after what I did to their (Clark and his folks) relationship in Another Lois.

“Come on in; it’s open,” he called, figuring whoever it was would be friendly, being that his neighborhood was known more for being where the criminals lived, not worked. “I got a call this evening from my father. He wanted to check up on Jimmy Olsen, who had been beaten up by Tommy ‘The Torturer’ Garrison,” Lucy said, stating the facts he already knew. She must have gone bonkers over that. I couldn’t believe that Lois hadn’t called me.” How inconsiderate of her sister to not inform her that her boyfriend’s cousin has been beaten to a pulp. “I care because I’ve been dating Jimmy all summer!” she retorted. Jimmy was glad to see she wasn’t the dullest knife in the drawer. Well, her sister lets her use her wet-stone once in a while. -> “Do you want to watch that new show about the colonists on that underwater submarine?” SeaQuest DSV? The timeline would fit. But they weren’t colonists. “Are you flirting with me?” Lucy teased, pointing a finger at him. Nope, there was no fooling a Lane woman. She’s adorable! “Hey! What’s going on here?” Umm…beat up seconds?

“Is he why you never invited me over here?” she asked, her hands on her hips. “Were you afraid I’d dump you for your good-looking cousin with the same name?” No, that was because they’ve long since stopped hiding their porn. James sighed into the couch with a smile. What had Lucy said? “You only nag those you care about.” He could live with a little nagging from Lucy Lane. Michael

Michael: Hope you're enjoying your holiday. /waits for embarrassment to ensue/ It never arrives. He's well drugged. Wouldn’t it be fun if she *were* a dream and punched him, too? Give her time. Always clean your apartment like you’re married to a Stepford Wife when you’re single and looking for company. Nah, that might make the woman suspicious. You need to leave just enough of a mess that she can see you quickly clean it up when she arrives, otherwise she thinks you have another woman coming over to clean. (Read: girlfriend or mother) She must have gone bonkers over that. Hence why she crossed the tracks. How inconsiderate of her sister to not inform her that her boyfriend’s cousin has been beaten to a pulp. Exactly! Well, her sister lets her use her wet-stone once in a while. It makes Lois feel smarter if Lucy isn't quite as sharp. “Maid’s cost money. We don’t have any.” Muscles don't. But I see, you don't have any of those either. sponge baths? Or car washing? Don't give him any ideas. Both. There was a woman present. I love how a woman has to be present for a man to be both. Aaaaand? Superman’s less of a man than Lois once she finds out the truth. After? He thought she looked cute? Drugs making him slow? Jimmy’s already bored and moving on? I mean, he apparently managed to drive off a lot of girls on the show which he originally managed to date. Been there, done that. Next! Isn't the cow in the next farmer's field more attractive to the bull, because he hasn't had it yet? And it's not his to have? Plus, I’m thinking she took his ‘whatever’ as a dismissal. Possibly. He did? Now that’s tough luck. OTOH, he probably just hopes that Lois will make a man out of him. He now lives in town and can come visit at any time, and pop up for cameo whenever I need some interruptus. SeaQuest DSV? The timeline would fit. But they weren’t colonists. Two Points! (The show on opposite LnC, which is why Jimmy didn't want to watch it. ) Neither was ST:NG or Prometheus (technically) but they both had kids living onboard, so I changed their designation. She gets it from her sister. They're easier to catch. No, that was because they’ve long since stopped hiding their porn. That and because none of them wanted to play the Stepford Wife. Ooops, ran out of Smilies.

Yes, okay. You’ve made your point that you’re setting James up to move with Lucy back to California where he will attend CalTech and be a founder of one of the late-nineties Internet rush companies, make a fortune and later be taken for half of it when Lucy divorces him for the pool boy Alexander Luthor Jr. I am? And really, Lex Jr? Bro-code, man. Bro-code. This is so not cool, man. Who broke the Bro-Code first? Anyway, I loved the idea of Jimmy interruptus Jimmy. Really, I'm pathetic, I was howling with laughter. Sometimes, I'm easy to please. Sadly, others aren't. Kind of. A bit like Anakin did at the end of Episode 2. Yes, but they don't know that. /Saw a hilarious book in a store today and thought of you. It's called: Darth Vader and Son It's about Darth raising a 4 year old Luke. Pretty much. Actually, that’s how girls in Kindergarten express their affection. And after Sam Lane had a sit down with Stan Dunkle, Lois didn't have that opportunity again... Oh, wait, that was Missing Lois. Sorry. Umm…why is the government allowing the network to air such drivel? Can’t they censor it or have them arrested or shut down or something? First Amendment. Not with this Superman. Why is he ‘wondering’? Isn’t that a Tempus-Duh question? Publically, Lex Luthor is very Pro-Superman. Privately, LLN reporters notice a bonus in their checks whenever they bash the man. After a couple of months, they're starting to notice the pattern. It's not official though. So much for them not knowing about a super-powered stalker. He really is adorably naive. What? He can't stalk Lois 24/7. He has do something during some of those other hours of the day. And, yes, he's thought he's being very subtle, not thinking they'd notice the newspapers in which his gifts are wrapped. It’s a Kryptonian thing. They charm the husband of the woman they want to take as a concubine. Or a mother. Depending on the situation. I'm thinking it's not Jonathan's forte.

Hope you're enjoying your holiday. Thanks. I think I am. So far it’s just been the weekend and my mind has not fully realized it will continue past today. /waits for The show on opposite LnC, which is why Jimmy didn't want to watch it. *G* Did you ever watch The Nanny? When Fran (the character) met Fran (the actress) and Fran-C mentioned that she wouldn’t miss finale episode of Fran-A’s show unless she was giving birth at the time? but they both had kids living onboard, so I changed their designation. Hey, Lucas was an official crew member and doing nerdy stuff. Plus, he was the official Kid™. quote: She’s adorable!
She gets it from her sister. Indeed. And I’m sure Lucy wouldn’t get the reference until it’s too late. Who broke the Bro-Code first? Hmm…I think they’ll have to refer this to the High Brow Court under the Awesome Chair of Barney Stinson. Anyway, I loved the idea of Jimmy interruptus Jimmy. Really, I'm pathetic, I was howling with laughter. Sometimes, I'm easy to please. Sadly, others aren't. I still don’t really realize the Jimmy interrupts even when I’m annoyed that LnC don’t get it on because of it. It’s kind of a blind spot

Yes, that's a two-part FDK-FDK-FDK. I believe that's a first Michael

Wow, Michael, a double double FDK FDK. (people are going to start sending us invitations to Smilie interventions.) Thanks. I think I am. So far it’s just been the weekend and my mind has not fully realized it will continue past today. /waits for /I won't tell him that's a no-no, if you don't./ </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> *G* Did you ever watch The Nanny?

It's been a while, but I thought there was a little girl too. Indeed. And I’m sure Lucy wouldn’t get the reference until it’s too late. I'm sure Lois would tell her before the wedding that's it's creepy to marry one's own step-nephew.

I still don’t really realize the Jimmy interrupts even when I’m annoyed that LnC don’t get it on because of it. It’s kind of a blind spot He hasn't left yet! Yes, that's a two-part FDK-FDK-FDK. I believe that's a first No. But I’m sure she could justify it by both her sister twotiming Clark and Superman and her sister forfeiting both Clark and Superman, thus leaving Lucy to pick up the statistical slack. Doesn't Lois have to one-time before she can two-time? /looks around innocently/ What? I love your innocent expressions! Aaaahhh… And he only has save-Lois time penciled in on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and twice on a Saturday? Oh, dear, was Saturday penciled in? And it's me. Bwahahahahahahah! Isn’t that a bit paranoid of him? Him? As in Alt-Clark where his parents have died, and his adoptive parents have died, and his ex-fiancee got kidnapped because well she was his ex-fiancee and because he spent the last year being followed everywhere and his apartment being broken in so often he had to move out. So, no. I mean, he doesn’t know that Lex is actually stalking Lois and has her shower bugged. He did have bugs planted in her apartment all those weeks ago, hasn’t he? I’m sure President Doe will correct that. But will there *be* a President Doe in this dimension? This Tempus is currently, well, non-existant. And that’s why Lois will eventually figure things out. Because of the newspapers Clark's gifts are wrapped in? No.

(people are going to start sending us invitations to Smilie interventions.) /has to rewatch show/ Doesn't Lois have to one-time before she can two-time? Well, she's already no-timing them and two-timing them in her mind. She's almost there /looks around/ Hey, was that a rat in a high heel swimming by? Oh, dear, was Saturday penciled in? Yes. And he waited at the junkyard car shredder for hours for her to show up inside a trunk. Him? As in Alt-Clark where his parents have died, and his adoptive parents have died, and his ex-fiancee got kidnapped because well she was his ex-fiancee and because he spent the last year being followed everywhere and his apartment being broken in so often he had to move out. So, no. /Sees point. But will there *be* a President Doe in this dimension? This Tempus is currently, well, non-existant. They could import one? Because of the newspapers Clark's gifts are wrapped in? No. Michael

Only if your posting rate drops... <<Virginia runs off>> How I Met Your Mother: Suits Song Some PG-13 language warning. It reminds me of the Buffy musical episode. Well, she's already no-timing them and two-timing them in her mind. She's almost there My guess is that another dimension might export one, before they'd import one.

Would Superman in a suit be able to get Lois? No, that's not right. Yep. Superman's already in a suit. Would Lois in a suit be able to get Superman? She's already got him in the palm of her hand; she doesn't need a suit. Oh, wait, better switch that to before someone goes all dark side on me. That one's actually in it's own category. Too bad "Emmy Winner" wasn't it. Umm... that would actually be a requirement for a successful import Let's hope any other dimension would be willing to export it's Tempus. I'm sure we could find a line of dimensions willing to export theirs. Hey, not everyone at the same time. There's a *line*, people. No, we'll only take *one* Tempus. I don't care how many babies he ate, he'll be evaluated on temporal craziness alone. And sarcasm and irony. Put that gun away, Bad Lois. Fine, shoot your Tempus, but we still won't import a defective version. That one hasn't even tried to kill Superman as a baby.

Say, when is Lois’s birthday? <<Runs off to kitchen and puts on tinfoil hat, before hugging computer.>> She's a Virgo. About 6 weeks from this point in the story. <<bats eyelashes innocently>> Why do you ask?
