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

Even though the truth will set us on the correct path, our logical mind (and good-intentioned friends) will convince us it's "wrong".

Comments?

You love torturing us. Lois is figuring things don't add up but instead of being able to confront him, she's got to rescue him from Trask. I like how you emphasized that this Clark was wrong for this dimension. How the people in Smallville didn't know him. How Lois was convinced that the baby in the grave had been replaced by Clark. (Very touching, BTW). How even under Superman's watch, Lois was shot. Looking forward to more.

Joan

Roller coaster say what! (from KC and the sunshine band) But I feel as if I am on one. More more!

Well, it is just too unbeliebable to accept.

Jimmy:Well you probably messed up on your first try.

Has Perry lost his mind?

She needs to search her memories more deeply.

Well it is.
Lois:Why would my boyfreind by an infant.
Reader:Clark, don't count on it, Lois is more blind than most.
Lois:What do you mean, I am blind?

If it was that simple than why would the Kents let him in? Especially since Martha clearly knew that it was Clark Kent who had come?

Will it help if more of her memory is jogged. If she remembers that for this person CK=SM?

Do most of the tombstones only have one date, or do they generally have 2. If the latter, why is she not more curious about this fact?

she is remembering.

How could she have memories of before she was born? Too bad she was not around to see Herb show up to visit Clark. Of course, that might not have helped at all.

Lois trust Clark to help you.
Lois:He lied to me about eveytrhing how can I trust him.
Reader:Most things he tells the truth about.
Lois:Yeah right.

Well, I am still torn by if it is better for Clark not to see her soon, or if she really needs to see him soon. She needs Clark to confort her, even if she is not about to listen to him.

She will go through a lot of that before she moves past it. Hopefully Clark will come clean the next time they can have a good talk, but even if he does, I am not sure she will believe him.

It is not like Kent is that uncommon of a last name. It could just be a coincidence that there was another Clark Kent. Maybe he really is from somewhere else and made up the Smallville story because he knew there had once been a Clark Kent there. OK, I can see why Lois does not believe this, but if he is prettending to be the dead son of the Kents, why does he hang out in the one place his deception could be seen through?

Well, at least she understands Clark's motivation. She does not understand his methods though.

Maybe the answer is both, both Clark Sr. and Clark Jr are coming to her mind. Hmm, except I am not sure how that works since there has not been a Clark Jr. Except we already shattered time, and reverted time, so who knows.

To give him the same name as his father of course.

Ah, Lois, you are not alone. I am sure if you confront 'Chuck' he will explain it. Maybe he is posing as Clark Kent to try to catch whoever murdered Clark. Hmm, OK, that won't work becuase his murderer does not exist. Hmm, maybe it is a good thing Clark is not here yet. I was hoping he would find Lois at the cemetary, but I guess no such luck.

So much for not turning on Clark until he had a chance to explain himself. I guess though finding the grave has caused Lois to have no more desire to protect Clark. Hmm, will he have to tell Perry who he really is?

Perry: Clark has a real friend who can be treusted totally.

Things are really bad for Clark.

I was so hoping she would say it.

We went a whole part without Clark. I guess I was not really hoping for resolution in this part, at least not very much.

Well, I think in the long run Clark is best off right now in this situation. Lois will not let Trask kill him, because she wants to know the truth before strangling him. She will help save him even if she is enraged.

Joan: Who? What? Me, torture?

Poor Clark. He feels wrong and unaccepted wherever he goes.

Thank you.

CLARK: I'm never going to live that down, am I?

LOIS: It WASN'T your fault!

CLARK: <points at Joan> See, I'm not the only one who believes it.

Tomorrow night, late (or early Sunday morning, as the case may be).

Laura: Glad you're enjoying the ride. Smallville has a few ups and downs along with its twists and turns.

John: One FDK leads to 2 FDK Responses. Me, and my smilies addiction.
Let’s hope so.
PERRY: <Gibbs slap on the back of Jimmy’s head>
Well, Jimmy did say ‘someone new’.
That’s the problem. They aren’t accessable memories.
CLARK: No, I don’t think.

Depends. Some (old ones) have just the date died and/or just a name. Then came name, year born, and year died. Modern day, I believe, it’s tradition to have name, full date born, full date died, description (beloved mother, son, etc) and/or message (lived well, died hard). Babies who are still born or die in childbirth would only have one date on a tombstone I would think.

Kind of. Sort of. Not really. It’s more of an image, a feeling, than an actual full memory.

No, I don’t think that would help matters.
LOIS: So, basically, what you’re saying, Clark, that in a previous version of this life, there was another Clark, my right Clark, who you aren’t, whom I loved, with whom I traveled back in time with the dead sci-fi writer H.G. Wells, but that Clark didn’t survive the journey and is now buried in the Kent family graveyard? Uh-huh. How hard did you hit your head the other night?
CLARK: I can’t win without losing, can I?



CLARK: I’m going to guess “not”.
LOIS: Why, lookie there, Chuck, you CAN be right.
Evil Writer:

Hmmmm. Another reader hacking into my harddrive to read ahead. Need to get new security software.

LOIS: Exactly!

She’s trying to figure out his motivation. Love is the only reason he’s given her, but…
LOIS: But Clark’s a liar. Maybe he’s some psycho out to harvest my brain.
So far, this Lois has only lived through “Noah” or shortly thereafter (that we know about), so I’m guessing she wouldn’t remember a “Clark Jr.”. But SHE doesn’t know that.
LOIS: But… the real Clark Kent is dead.
CLARK: Hello? What am I chopped liver?
LOIS: As soon as I get my hands on you… yes.
CLARK:
Nope, I think that’s Ken’s story.
She’s not feeling very forgiving at the moment.
Sometimes fury leads one to be irrational.
LOIS: How about this? If he wants to be Jerome Lane, he’s more than welcome to that name. I’ll be Lois Kent. He can take my family and I’ll take Martha and Jonathan. That’s a fair trade, right?
CLARK: <clears throat> I know of a better way for you to become Lois Kent.
LOIS: Not in this lifetime.
HERB: Actually…
Lois believed she was reading between the lines, unfortunately she read wrong.
Thomas and the Kents know him.
Precisely.
LOIS: But he didn’t deny it!
CLARK: Nor did I affirm it.
LOIS: Men!
He said he knew Max Harris, but that wouldn’t necessarily mean that Max Harris knew him. We know about well known people in our community without them knowing us.
Possbily. Nope, he never said.
PERRY: Well, lookie there, it’s double box of chocolate time of the month.
LOIS:
She’s venting, trying to find answers, looking at all the possible scenarios.
Being angry can only last so long.
PERRY: One of the perks of my job.
LOIS: I didn’t say it was acceptable. The super rich have a different definition of proper conduct. I’ve heard of friends whose father’s did background checks on their boyfriends without their knowledge. I lump this under that irrational, inappropriate, but well-meaning conduct.

Good point. I changed the line. It now reads: Of course not... well, not at first.

Now, that she’s calmed down somewhat from her rant, she’s trying to make sense of the information she does know.
LOIS: How can anyone forget a man with such a hot body?
CLARK: Nope, not much hope. Wait. You think I’m hot?
LOIS: Hot? No, I said “not”, *not* body.
CLARK: Riiiiiiiggggghhhhttt.
Yep, she’s found a way to bridge the truth and lies into a believeable scenario.
No. They never bought the “world tour” excuse.
Yes, either Trask or Lois will kill him.
Nope, not THAT kind of Cliffy. Martha isn’t going to out Clark like Tempus did.
But they talked about him the whole time. So, even though he wasn’t there, it was all about him.
Yep!

Clark:Well, Lois, my way required way less paperwork, and judges never overturn it. Your way more often leads to judges putting a break on the name changing plan.

True, but considering his having been said Sherrif's twin sister's boyfriend, it would seem a bit odd if Max did not recognize him at all.

I guess I figured since Martha knows CK=SM, and I assume Lois being saved from being thrown out of Trasks plane and the saving of the space shuttle were public knowledge, Martha would know of at least two occasions that Clark saved Lois.
True, but I can still imagine Martha thinking it. And if she did say this, it would complicate matters. Actually maybe not. Lois might just assume Clark Kent was still-born. She does not know he came on a spaceship. Hmm, and Wrong Clark does not look like the biological child of these people, but he has never claimed biological relationship to them.

Well, but in that case CK was probably not going around as SM. He has clearly been here. Clark can come up with lame but workable excuses if he is not married to Lois, but I don't think he could cover his sneaking off if married to Lois. Of course, for all Jonathan knowns Jerome Lane married Lois long before the start of his time as a public SM, so I guess that might explaing it.

So they do know Krypton is no more. Hmm.
I was going with, they can tell Clark is x age. I am not sure they really could deduce his age, but if they could, they would assume he was born in 1962 or so.

Hi Virginia,

It's a good thing that I'm trying to catch up: I juste read Part 52 and I can immediately read Part 53!

Not a good idea, Perry.

Exactly!

Oh dear. Just when I thought I’d get a chance to catch up

Kill. Kill. Kill.

Oh boy.

So, dead to her, then?

He smells awfully fresh for that.

He’s new to the Daily Planet, isn’t he? Or is Lois the recent hire? Hmm…No, it must be Perry. He was previously dealing in roadside remains and scored a wee-big city job because of his uncle’s brother’s mother’s liaison with the son of the father of one of the Daily Planet’s board members.

No, he *is* special. And so smart! They’re even allowing him to use utensils with his food these days.

Bit? *Bit*?

So he can extort him as a mole?

Duh! He’s Lex *Luthor*! He won Darn Nicest Guy in the City three years in a row.

Hence why she should stick to wearing short skirts instead.

What if Lex poisoned all the wells during his search?

*That’s* what she was trying to do that night during the spaghetti incident!

So Perry knows whether he needs to talk to HR.

? ? ?

Huh? I remember some story about that but what is Jonathan up to?

Red fish?

Mission accomplished.



So, she listened at the door? Also, adorable!

Oops?

Michael

LOIS: Oh, so you want to do this legally now?

It's been over 10 years, it's possible that Max wouldn't remember him or that Clark's looks have matured that Max wouldn't recognize him.

Okay, this is where I face-palm and say, Duh! Right?

Yep.

Hmmmm. Maybe Martha had an affair. Nah! No, Clark told Lois flat out that he doesn't share any blood with the Kent family.

You know, it's been a long time since I read it, so I'm thinking not. I believe he became Superman after he and Lana split (or, technically, Lana split). Or was it after he got together with Lois?

Lying to Lois got him into enough trouble, he now knows better than to try it with the Kents any longer.

Does a 31 year old man look all that different from a 27 year old? I'm thinking not enough for them to guess his age accurately, to the year.

Sydney: Sorry for the delay on the response, but I wanted to get some writing in. 63 is half-completed, now.

I'm glad you're excited.

But Jimmy DID suggest he send someone new!

Yes, she was angry at Jonathan for trying to send Lois on a wild goose chase (off to find something they both knew she wouldn't find).

Yes, I still want to adopt her as my children's grandmother. I wonder how K Callan feels about us all loving her portrayal of the perfect Martha. <<proud, I hope>>

THOMAS: (Continued) Then how did you hear what I said from all the way over at the tent city at my house?

Michael: I haven't forgotten, just spacing out my responses so you have something new to read while trying not to read my new parts.

As soon as I catch up, I'm posting another part. <minor victories, I take them where I can get them>

LEX: Deliver, ha! I've already pre-booked my flight. Private jet. <do you think he'll realize it's a clone before it's too long?>

She's trying to make sense of images and feelings without memories using logic.

LOIS: Superman! Okay, sign me up!

CLARK:

LOIS: Don't worry, honey, this bleach only stings a little bit.

CLARK: Er... what are we doing in Smallville?

LOIS: We're visiting my Mom and Dad.

MARTHA & JONATHAN ENTER.

LOIS: This is my mom and dad. Martha and Jonathan Lane.

CLARK:

LOIS: Marry Superman and spend weekends in Tahiti?

CLARK: Okay, now she's tempting me.

LOIS: Thanks, I needed that wake-up call. Clark! Never mind.

CLARK: Forget? What?! What did I just miss?

LUCY: Well, that explains a lot. Can I have Clark, then?

LOIS: Be my.... NO!


TBC...

FDK - Continued....

CAT: And she calls me a cradle robber.

LOIS:

Pretty much. Until she catches him, then dead to everyone else too.

<chuckle>

PERRY: Lois would investigate my cat, if I told her he came home with a canary in his mouth last week. I take half of what she says with a grain of salt.

LOIS: So, he's just been let out of prison. Got it!

Perry, the king of understatement.

PERRY:

John: Per your comment on Part 47's FDK...

I wrote that comment about Lex prior to posting Part 53. Before I post, I relook over the part and sometimes add stuff at the last minute. That line about Lex, actually that whole "was she attracted to bad boys vs. good guys" section, was added at the last minute. Oooops. That wasn't Part 53. Which part was it again? 52?

I also forgot that she mentions Lex to Perry, when I wrote that Lex isn't a blip on Lois's radar during Smallville. My apologies. I'm not perfect. But in the grand scheme of things, Lex might as well be a dust particle on the radar screen for as much as she thinks of him during the Smallville arc. (is that better?)

I knew someone was going to remember I said that.

PERRY: Kent lied about being alive? Don't tell me I hired another zombie.[/Quote]

Another zombie? Has he highered them before?

Is Mindy not a gold digger yet? Or does she see Jimbo's potential to become a doc com millionaire as he did in AU. Oh, maybe Mindy will steal control of his computer startup, forcing Jimbo to take a low level job at the "Daily Planet".
