Author's Note: I do not speak Italian, therefore if you do and what I got from Google Translator is *way* off, I apologize. Please feel free to correct me.

I am pretty sure this should be "a nervous wreck".

What is the hour to a time traveler?

Lois: Well, if you hadn't run off on me in my dream, Clark.

Lois: At least I am not urging the driving of him out.

Clark: True. Which is why I didn't say "things couldn't be worse".

Lois: I am working with you as my partner, I touched you this evening, they could be a lot worse.

Clark: I know. Still, you can't tell me you are glad I, I mean Superman was thrown in jail.

Lois: See, you could be thrown in jail for rescuing lives like Superman was, things could be a lot worse for you Chuck.

Clark: If you only knew.

Lois: What?

Clark: You didn;t believe me when I told you last time.

Clark: Just because Superman leaves Metropolis doesn't mean I have to.

Lois: you double-crossing, no good, I think you were more complicit in bringing Tempus to terrorize us and knew more of the consequences than you ever admit.

Canon Lois: Clark left me during the heatwave. OK, he was only gone a day, but still. Well, day and a half. It was a long day and a half.

Canon Clark: But you saw me during that time.

Canon Lois: I didn't know it then, so it doesn't count.

Umm, actually, she did. True, she was his prisoner, but still. Of course, Herb thinks she died that night, but he is wrong. Anyway, they only did not end up together because she thought he died.

Lois: Maybe we were going on dates, but it wasn't like we were engaged.


Clark: Lois knows about him too.

Clark: Thus there is even more reason to stay here and not go back to the demension where everyone I care about is dead. Jimmy, Martha, Jonathan, Lois.

Clark: Well if I leave this universe will be without a Superman. What do you want me to do, jump between both universes on a regular basis. Hmm, actually, it might work. Although, probably not.

Clark: Plus, Lois is not blaming me. That's all that really matters.

Clark, you are so close.

Maybe. I guess he doesn't know how long Clark had been dead.

See, Clark is trying to learn the truth about this matter.

Another sign he takes this seriously. He did not test this risky hypothesis.

H I think it should be "as being true", but maybe this phrasing works as well, it seems odd to me though.

In less than a day. Has Wells done any research? It seems like he is making Clark do all the work, and withholding information that would held him function better.

Wells: But maybe she was there when he died, like she was when he almost died in our demension.

Hmm, does Clark know that much about the incident, or does he just know that Tempus tried to go back in time and kill Superman, without knowing how he was thwarted.

Plus the ones of her life with no Clark at all. Of course those normally manifest as nightmares, because that is what such a life would be. I mean Another Lois broke the body count meter, and we never even learned any number on how many people neo-Noah killed.

Lois: Is that why I have memories of him carrying me over the threshold in the honeymmon suite.

I guess, but some of that is also her feelings for Superman, who is also him.

Thus now Clark has a real chance to be "right Clark" by doing this right.

Clark understands Lois. Now he just has to figure out a way to tell her about this without her thinking he is crazy.

PR: he could tell her CK=SM and then about the other demension, and then about Tempus, and then about time-travel killing.

NR:She'll still think he's crazy.

PR: There is some hope. OK, a very small amount.

Well, that is a pretty tall order. To rescue Clark they need to figure out how to restore Tempus, but they don't even know Tempus is the one to restore.

I really hope Clark does not just give up. Otherwise we will have I hope that Clark does not take the universe reverting too much to heart and act on his attraction to Lois when he gets a chance assuming that everything will be destroyed anyway and she will not remember.

I so hope Lois notices this.

Among other things. I guess in this set up Lois has an explanation of SM disliking Luthor that does not require Luthor to be as bad as Clark says.

Lois is seeing what a condesending jerk Luthor is.

Hah, take that Luthor.

I just hope Luthor can't weasle out of that.

This is the best line I have heard from Lois ever.

she told Luthor off.

She called him Luthor, not Lex.

SM: I don't lie to you Lois.

She told him off.

I just hope Clark does not mess this up.

Lois: Where were you Clark when I needed you to help with interviews.

Clark: I was stopping the reactor.

Lois: No that was Superman, where were you.

Clark:Ummm, well.

I have to say that I don't expect Wells to find out anything promising in the past. It is too difficult to restore the existence of Tempus.

Clark, just go with the victory.

I just realized that Clark should give this Lois the choice of keeping him or getting her own Clark back.

Lois: Exactly. He has spent too much time listening to Wells and his no choice ultimatums.

He is telling me about his past.

Seems likely, otherwise she would already know CK=SM.

There for a bit I was assuming she was thinking that his mother was still alive in Italy. I had sort of forgotten she believes his parents were killed.

Oh no. Wait, does he realize that Jonathan mentioned Italy to Lois, or did they not mention that.

Clark, you are far too trusting of Lois.

And he has reinforced Lois' idea. Of course, would she have believed him if he claimed no knowledge of Italian.

Do it Clark, do it.

He shouldn't have put off Wells' return for so long.

Poor poor Clark. I think I hate HG Wells.

I like Clark questioning H.G. Wells about staying in this universe. Doesn't he deserve some happiness too?

Love that this Lois is seeing Lex for who he is so much sooner than our Lois.

Joan

John: See, more to your liking. (I could tell by all the parties you threw)


CLARK: I like that answer.

It's a fun game, isn't it? How many ways can Lois not believe him?

CLARK:

CLARK (cont): If I allowed myself to hurt people, you'd be up there on the list. Okay, Tempus first, then Luthor, and maybe that Ralph guy for hitting on Lois, but you'd be up there, I guarantee it!

I'm guessing that canon Clark didn't return at the same time as Superman and actually waited a week or so after it was proved (by snow) that Superman wasn't causing the heat wave before allowing Clark to crawl back to the DP on his hands and knees. That way even though CK and SM left at the same time, they didn’t return at the same time.

Yep, Herb was wrong. This is not Ken's Herb.



It make end him up in the wrong place, like the Luthor House for the Mentally Unbalanced.

- Respose to John’s FDK – Cont.



LOIS: :rolleyes: Lunkhead.



CLARK: She belongs to her true Clark. Though I was to bask in her sunlight for another 3 months, I know that I cannot do more until proved otherwise.

Though he has hope, it is currently very small indeed.

Yes, my Wells isn't perfect. He's trying to help Clark and help this dimension (and this dimension's Lois) only he only ends up making matters worse. Or does he?

CLARK: I think that would be a nice change. Isn't that why I came here?

I always wondered why Lois agreed to date Lex after this Nuclear Power Planet fiasco. I gave one theory in "Jolly St. Clark". I'll give another one here.

Hi Virginia,

Finally! Are we looking at a resolution where Herb intervenes, possibly with Lois and/or Alt Clark's help to save the Clark of this universe?

My Herb isn't your Herb, Ken. Let's just say, he means well.

Hi Virginia,

So, Alt-Clark will save this dimension's Clark ; DreamClark will become CanonClark ...and I don't know and I'm lost and I have an headache !

Poor Alt-Clark! Will he be alone again?

Sorry, Sydney.

Canon Clark and canon Lois are alive and well over in Herb's original dimension. They haven't factored in this story except how they've related to alt-Clark in canon.

DreamClark = GhostClark = this dimension's true Clark is actually an alt-version of canon Clark, if canon Clark had been killed by Tempus as a baby. If at the point where Tempus tried to kill baby Kal-El the two dimensions separated: one was canon where Kal-El survived and was raised by the Kents, and the other is this current dimension, where he died.

This is how this alt-canon Lois has memories of canon Lois, because up until Perry's birthday in 1995, she lived the same life as canon Lois, but then it was "erased" (repressed is more like it) when baby Kal-El was killed. Then her life continued from Perry's birthday 1995 onwards per "Another Lois". When this dimension was destroyed, Herb discovered it and decided that if alt-Clark came to this dimension, he'd realize that not all Loises were the loving, sweet one he met when canon Lois visited his dimension to save him from Tempus and make him Superman. He would return to his dimension and not try to save his Lois from her past fate and move-on with his life as Superman. He might create a Utopia, but -- Herb doesn't think that's possible with alt-Lois anyway. And this dimension's Lois would realize that Clark wasn't her imagination and wouldn't go crazy and, therefore, be able to save this dimension from destruction. Herb didn't know that Lois had "brought" Clark's soul with her into the "Another Lois" future, and it wasn't her 'imagination' which made everyone think she was crazy, but her true (ghost) Clark, who's soul was stuck to hers.

When Herb brought alt-Clark to this dimension, he essentially broke that tie between this Lois and her true Clark's soul, but she still "remembers" those past alternative futures in the form of echoes, dreams, and "psychic" visions.

What Herb didn't count on was this Clark falling in love with Mad Dog Lane.

Alt-Clark is from alt-dimension, currently living in this alt-canon-dimension. In this part, Alt-Clark (our Clark of this story) has just discovered it might be able to rescue this dimension's Lois's true Clark, who he doesn't know is the equivalent to the other Clark married to the Lois who made him Superman.

Oh, dear, I hope I haven't confused you more.

That's the question, isn't it?

Clark, your supposed to get the sub-text that Lois thinks she might be the right women. ALthough I guess maybe he is even less likely to think that now.

I just assumed that she had the tie because he hadn't taken the box with him, I did not clue into the fact she had swipped the tie. Well, now he will have some new clothes to change into if he stays the night at her place.

I was hoping that at this point the explanation was she would not date Luthor at all. I guess I should not hope for such a nice world.

Of course, Clark thought that Lois wasn't referring to herself as the "right woman".

No, Clark has the box with him. Herb comments on it and he sets it down next to him on the bench. Then when he leaves Herb, he mentions (or thinks) that he needs to drop that stuff off before returning to Lois.

It may not be what you think.

Why did Wells think Clark would not fall in love with Lois, when canon-Clark fell in love with Lois in the same situation.

I think Wells did not think his plan out at all. It was a very poor plan, period. I do not think it really ever had a chance to work.

Because S1 (pre-Clark) Lois is a much scarier version. He hoped that Clark would be scared off by her aggressive ways, because of having dealt with Lana for 10 years. He thought that this Clark might not have the self-esteem to hold his own against this Lois. (In a way, he was right, at the beginning, but that didn't stop Clark for falling for her.)

TEMPUS: The good never plan, they only act or react. It takes a true evil genius to plan well, and think three steps ahead. Heroes don't do that.

HERB: Neither did you, if I recall.
