Did I mention how much I like cliffies?

Comments appreciated.

I just realized that maybe I should have included a WHAM warning with this part. If you think I need to add it <for my other readers>, for Wayne Irig being shot, please let me know, and I'll add it to my old WHAM warning. Although, frankly, I should go back and look at it, since I don't think I've taken a look at it since I first started posting this story. Hmmmmm.

Later... Nah, it still works. <phew>

This was so sweet:




Isn't Lana a piece of work?

Boy does this sound like Lois:

Don't leave us in suspense too long!

Joan

Whoa, didn't see that rock coming out of nowhere. Just can't win for losing, can he?

Wayne has made it to safety.

The first thing on his mind is his son?

Martha: No, good men have held you prisoner for four days. Oh course they are bad men.

We can only hope.

Clark:The bad guys our on their way. You had better run and hide.

Clark: At least someone has the fight idea.

Is this from the van, the truck, or both?

Why exactly is Trask so convinced there is more than just the sample? I guess the minimum explanation might be he is a crazy fanatic, who likes kidnapping and killing people, so he might not believe there is more, but just hopes there is more.

At first I was expecting a trade of Clark for the rock.

Jonathan: Wayne never asked me to hold anything for him. I havn't seen or talked to Wayne since before you so rudely barged onto his property.

Clark: Trask is the type of devil you can't deal with. He always lies.

Jonathan: Oh, you mean what he gave us the Christmans presents in three years ago. I think I burned that box a few falls ago in a nice big bonfire. You can find the ash down by the creek.

Jonathan: We have no son.

Clark:Don't listen to him at all. He is evil, and will not bargain fairly.

Thomas:Why would Trask think Jerome Lane is Jonathan and MArtha's son?

Clark: Fortunantly, yes. Well, at least the last part, the first part is not good.

Positive Reader: Trask knows nothing.

Negative Reader: No he just suspects the rock can be used to kill Superman. Not knowing it can kill Clark will not prevent him from killing Clark with it.

Is this Martha thinking "he must not realize that Jerome is vulnerable" or her thinking "we need to keep Trask from learning that Jerome has been hurt by a glowing rock"?

Clark: That is what he thinks. The first half is also what Lois thinkings.

Lois: No, I don;t think you are "just" Clark Kent. I know you are not Clark Kent at all.

Jonathan: Don;t rub it in.

NR: Elbow him anyway. It is good to release stress.



Jonathan: I would care. I am a kind caring man. I don;t like people gettingb killed, even when they are not my children.

Good question. Always force your enemy to show his hand.

Lois: Probably a better son. He would not be a lieing, double-crossing, no-good-nic.

Clark: When have I ever double crossed you?

Lois: See you admit you lie.

PR: At least as much so.

Clark: I really try.

NR: You let Lois getting shot cause you to give up on helping others.

Clark: Without Lois, there is no point. I could not go off and leave her unprotected at that critical time.

Clark: I need your advice too, I just don't know a good way to ask.

NR: Yes, he would have.

PR: Why are you saying that.

NR: To rub salt in her wounds.

PR: Get out.

Fate is so cruel. So many who have children don't want them, and so many who want children don't have them.

PR: Lookie here. We have a Martha with no son and a Clark with no Mom.

NR:I hope he does not hurt their feelings.

PR:He is trying to save them. Anyway, we already told you to leave.

Clark:I have never had anyone be so glad to hear me deny relation to them before.

PR: That is because you have not dealt with a Lois who thought you might be her long lost cousin and then you got to tell her "we are not related".

Hmm, is Trask a total idiot? He has proof that Superman has been her for 27+ years (at least that is what he surmisez it to be) and that Superman came here as an infant. Thus he must have been raised among us. Why does he not go for the obvious "CK=SM" a lot earlier?

He has SM's ship.

Of course he is.

Jonathan lied to you Martha.

Yep, he didn't burn the ship. Even when it seemed to be a germ infested death trap. But why not? Hmm, did he not try, or just not succeed?

I hope we learn more about this development. I guess Clark did not even know they had ever found the ship back when he first met Bureau 39, so he couldn't ask them about it then.

Martha: Well, that Superman was dead before we found him. We now think it was the green rock that killed him.

Jerome "landed" in Metropolis, but of course they don't know his true story. Will he tell them?

Actually if Trask had gone around town trying to learn if there was anyone who though CK=SM, this would be his most logical conclusion.

Actually, if Trask realized that SM landed in Smallville, why didn't he try to identify who from Smallville was SM by doing interviews in town before? Hmm, maybe removing the tag from SM's ship really did set back Trask's investigation.

Clark: Well I can't tell trask that. It would be like throwing Martha out of the frying pan and into the fire. From a potential relative to a proactive collaborator against Trask.

Clark: Give up source or let my new folks get killed. Go Martha!

Martha: If word of this gets out, people will try hostage takings more often.

Clark: Well, we just hope other people don't learn about Kryptonite.

Yes, Trask does not believe him. The secret still lives.

At least some keepers of the secret are good at lieing.

Lois: See, I knew he wasn't really Clark.

Martha: We know he is still safely buried, no body robbing involved.

Martha murmured under her breath, “Just stop. Fanatics can’t understand logic.”

Trask is really obsorbed in his delusion. Most people realize that Superman loves people more than most does. Otherwise he would not go out of his way to help so much.

Maybe it is good Lois sent Jimmy. She would never resist saying that retort outlouad.

someone is standing up to the bully.

I like Lana less and less.

Yes, someone is standing up to Lana.

Not since you drove him out of town. He does not live under your jurisdiction Max.

Jimmy:Lois and Clark got married on their way out here, and they didn't even tell me.

Well, OK, maybe Lois would have told Jimmy if she had married CK.

Jimmy:Maybe CK tricked her into getting married somehow. Maybe that is why she wants to kill him.

Finally someone seeing through the Harris lies.

Only because they have let Max control how people interpret it.

Well, if Lana had gone to prom with Walt and not Hank, who knows what would have happened.

Finally someone has called Lana's bluff.


Is he hearing Jimmy's signal watch?

And again Superman is made by Lois.

Yes, defending the good of humanity from crazies like Trask who would destroy it.

Yes! Superman is back.

Convient, now we won't have more people accidently learning Jerome=SM.

NR: You should have just slept with her when you had the chance, the bad guys all think you did anyway.

PR: No, that would have been stupid.

Clark: First off, I want Lois to love me, not just the suit. Secondly, if I just wanted tyo be with groupies, I could have stayed back in my own dimension.

Of course until just now he had not know how close to being captured she was either.

Lois: Well I would rather be know as Superman's girlfriend than as Jerome "the liars" wife.

Martha: There is something we have not told you about Jerome.

Lois: What?

Martha: He's Superman.

Lois: No way.

Clark: Obviously these guys have never met Lois.

Clark:I don't like the sound of that.

Clark: Where did this come from? How did Trask get Kryptonite?


So Jerome has a light alllergy?

Max seems to not have sreened his employees to make sure they all properly hate Irigs.

Is Darlene the type of lady who calls everyone things like "Darling", or is there something more between her and Thomas, at least in her mind?

I guess since he wants employees who believe he is effective at the job, Max cannot be too picky about other things.

It sounds like Thomas' call was worth it afterall. I hope neither Clark nor Lois dies, nor Wayne for that matter. I should hope Trask lives to, but I really can't bring myself to that.

JOAN: Thanks for the long FDK.
I'm glad you enjoyed Martha's inner monologue.

CLARK:

I needed to have her personality (deep down) be similar through-out the universes.



More posting late tonight.

CLARK: Tell me about it!

Yes, the Kryptonite seemed to come out of nowhere, because no-one was watching him close enough to see where got it.

John: Thank you for your thorough FDK.

Relative safety.

This is a BAD thing? Is there some reason that Wayne shouldn't be worried about the safety of his son? (his last remaining child)

The dialogue is mostly canon, and I agree with you. But it's possible she didn't know about his capture.



Clark doesn't know this. Or wait, yes, I guess he does. Never mind.

Your typos make for some interesting FDK. Someone liked my silly joke.

Trask cannot see other people's opinions.

Lois always wins!

CLARK: Rub it in, why don't you?

LOIS: *He* didn't LET me be shot! Oh, you guys are just as bad as Superman. <<shakes head>>

How did he do that? He went and "brought" Superman, who then got tackled by 3 cyborgs. It wasn't his fault.

<Psst. Here's Dr. Friskin's number>

Martha and Jonathan are made of sterner stuff than alt-Clark.

Actually, he probably has.

CLARK: What?

Which is why Martha only thought it.

Hmmmm. Maybe THAT’s why Trask doesn’t believe him.

So Trask thinks.

Thank you. Can you convince Lois of that?
LOIS: But Chuck said he was FROM Smallville!
EW: Never mind.

They’ll never know, because the Globe is lost.

Thank you. I figured there are two ways for Trask to test Clark = SM. One is to shoot him. The other one is to shoot someone else and see if he can save them. The first, he did in canon.

Ooooh. Better not tell Perry or Lois then.

Why would he?

Just because Martha doesn’t like people to lie, doesn’t mean she isn’t good at it herself.

CLARK: Big surprise. Lois is right, AGAIN.
LOIS: Again, with the sarcasm. Just accept it as law, and move on. But not move on away from me. Just move on from this argument.

-- too much FDK, must continue on another post...

-- John's FDK Response (cont.) --

Body stealing like in Star Man , where he takes over the image of someone who had once been alive, either that or a shapeshifter.

He just believes that this is an act.



I’m okay with that.

LANA: Hey!

Hank has a supportive family who loves him and gives him moral support.

I don’t think that’s the issue here.

JIMMY: (cont) Well, that would explain why Lois told Perry that Clark was dead.

He knows that misunderstandings happen.

oooops. I forgot you beat me to this joke.


JIMMY: Thanks.

Nothing like those you grew up with to give you the respect you deserve once you “make it” in life.

Or she might be referring to something (or someone) else.




Hmmmmm.

Well, he has been married to Lana for almost 10 years. If he can’t stand up to her by now…

Yes, but he isn’t recognizing it as such.

I like this imagry. Lois is certainly handy to have around.

CLARK:



The question is: Is Clark Superman even without the suit, or is he just being himself? Is it the “suit” that makes Clark into Superman?

Which is why I had to let some time pass first. I had worked out a scenario where his self pep talk brought about bringing back his powers, but then there were all those pesky witnesses around, which I had to distract or get rid of somehow.

LOIS: I agree. It would have been a bad reason to sleep with me.

CLARK: What’s that?

LOIS: Now, she tells me.

LOIS: I’ll take that as a compliment.
CLARK: Good, because I meant it as one. Anyway, I never insult you.
LOIS: You insult my intelligence by lying to me.
CLARK: You’re never going to forgive me, are you?
LOIS: Give me one good reason to do so?
CLARK: I love you.
LOIS: I’m still waiting for a good reason.

When will people learn, it’s not good to kidnap / insult / talk to Superman’s gal pal.
LOIS: Talk to? Hello? Journalist here. I’ve got to be able to conduct interviews.
CLARK: Sorry, I meant ‘Talk about’.
LOIS: That’s better.

Nope.

If he told them to just let her go, they’d realize it wasn’t Trask talking to them and go investigate.

LOIS: I’ve never TRIED to be anyone’s whore!

He had the piece sent to the lab.


Strobe lights and some really bright lights have been known to make people dizzy and / or sick to their stomaches.

She was hired prior to him taking office.

She’s like Maisie and calls all people younger than her “darling”, “honey”, etc.

MAX: Do you mean I’m NOT doing an effective job? Arrest that Commenter!

Trask living and knowing that Clark = Superman? There’s a Halloween story to scare the kids!

Well, if they are from just the truck or just the van, it might mean there are more soldiers involved here.

Good point. That makes a lot of sense.

I guess not, so it probably does not matter what he offers.

Good point. This is probably his biggest weakness. He assumes all other people are as selfish as him and as unlikely to help others. At least we hope this will lead to his downfall.


Clark:I was saying after Lois got shot I had to watch her, and help her, so I didn't go and be Superman for a while, after Lois got shot.

I generally assume Superman is what he can do, so I guess he is Superman without the suit. Of course, if we go with that, we have to revise down the number of times Clark, and not Superman, has ever saved Lois.

Clark: For now, we just assume if Lois says "CK saved me" or "SM saved me" she is always right.

Lois: you can say those last four words again.

As oppsoed to the show where they just ignored that Wayne would figure it out.

Clark:Maybe I should have done that. It would have kept Lois safe. Nah, I am not up to full power yet, hopefully this works out.

I was thinking that them not having had sex was from no lack of trying on Lois' part.

Interesting twist. It makes a lot of sense.

I am surprised he did not higher all his own cronies.

But he is also crazy and would be put in prison, so it would not be that bad. Hmm, no on second thought, Trask living would be bad. Some people would believe him.

Hi Virginia,

Yes!

(bis)

You're sure? Anyway, it's time to read Part 57.

Shouldn’t they have paced themselves and waited the appropriate time?

An argument often appears sound and logical to the unhinged mind that concocted said argument.

And he’ll kill only one of them?

Hmm…killing someone could be interpreted as setting him free.

So, that’s where Clark learned how to speak the literal truth.
LOIS: I normally wouldn’t hit a disabled person, but…

Steroids, so she could win the football championship in college.



What if Max shoots him in the back? Also, is it just me or did Hank imply to Max that the Sheriff should best go and have relations with himself?

Why is Max getting reelected when is such an obvious miscreant?


Yeah, might bust his drug operation wide open.

Maybe one of the pigs?

Wait, with Trask secured, how is he going to use the Kryptonite on Clark again?

Maybe pour some gasoline on it first?

Well, he had to requisition them form the local law enforcement office.

/cocks eyebrow/

/waves hand in so-so gesture/ Eeeeeehhhh…

*into*? Michael

Shouldn't that be INS, since Clark just admitted to being a "refugee". No evidence Clark has been skimping on his taxes, just that he is not in the US legally.

This is what happens when you elected the county treasurer, prosecutor, assesor, clerk, sherriff and several more positions, especially in a rural Kansas county with diminishing population. People get reelected by default because no one challenges them. It is a drawback of the long-ballots that the US uses. In some cases the Sherriff election might be on the pack of the ballot, and in many parts of the US they are largely decided in the primaries which have abismally low turnouts.

Michael

Okay, I see your point. I'll try to make this more clear. Thanks.

TRASK: Well, there's me and those who believe like I do, and then there are those others who are easily persuaded or have been corrupted by the alien spy.

Oh, I didn't get that.

I meant in a chicken and egg sort of way. Can you call CK Superman when he still does super stuff when not wearing the suit?

LOIS: The correct answer would be that "Lois saved herself" with the assist of Superman or Clark Kent.

Don't forget all those Smallvillians who saw "Superman" dressed as CK without glasses and never figured it out despite him hanging out with CK's financee.

It makes sense that he got the sample from the lab before bringing the whole team out to Kansas. The piece in the lab is like a coin in the bank, why would he leave it there?

Max has cronies?

Right. And those people in jail wouldn't want to believe that man who "knows" who Superman's true identity is (even if that prison is in Kansas).

Hi Sydney! Thanks for all the emotional reaction to my story.

Yes, I'm sure. Why should Lois and Clark have all the cliffy fun?

Oh, you mean when the New Kryptonians invaded. It took me a lot of thinking to figure out what you were talking about. Did CK go around town without glasses during the NK ark. I had totally forgotten that. How he was able to go back to being CK and Superman after that without Jimmy and Perry, and all of Smallville and maybe a few others knowing is still beyond me. The "CK is undercover" might have worked, but how did they explain to Jimmy that Kal-el and Lois were being so friendly?

Those glasses must truly be a super disguise.
