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

I hope that helps clarify things. Hmmmm. Do you think that require a WHAM warning? Nah, that would have ruined the fun surprise.

Comments?

Another flashback. I'm wondering... What happened differently that changed Miranda's fate?

I was re-reading some parts of Another Lois to refresh my memory and it got me wondering... Will Lois find the note she wrote in the past about saving Clark, researching Tempus and H. G. Wells helping her? There are so much timelines and resets that I don't know anymore... It's amazing how you find new (and more logical) reasons for events that took place in canon.

Andreia

Hi Virginia,

Happy new year, everyone! And, if I'm allowed to write a few words in my language: Bonne année à tous!

I'm back at home after a few day with my family.

Still reading, still enjoying the story, specially all the little twists from canon...

Like Andreia, I love how Lois explains her need for a relaxing night at the honeymoon suite.

And Ralph tied to a chair in the storage closet: what a great idea!

Clark, come on. You tried the hardest to do the right thing. Maybe you could have done better, but it was hard to know what to do.

Clark: Which just makes it tougher at some level.

Clark: I just hope this makes her forgiveness of me a little faster.

not only is she drugged, and would be so mad at me, but if I did her, she would die.

Clark: This is so tough.

Lois: Clark, how did you resist.

Clark: Well, I knew you would accuse me of "taking advantage" if I did anything.

Lois: Clark, you were taking advantage of me.

Clark: You are so desirable.

Now the question is, how well does she remember this incident.

Clark: I don't care. It saved me from givening in. That would have been horrible, on all sorts of levels.

Clark: Fortunantly my libido had been slowed a little.

Clark: Lois, I am sorry about that.

Lois: You could have pushed me off.

Maybe it is good that Wells told him that. Just dealing with a drugged Lois might not have been enough to stop him, and Lois would be really amd.

Although, if he had told him he was SM, who knows what would have happened.

I guess I see why he did this. I guess since Lois was being so suspicious about his initial reaction, she can't consistently get on his case for this.

Lois: Who ever said I needed to be consistent.

I have to say this was a wise decision. He was also wise to tell Lois about this, even if he wishes he could hide it.

Lois: This is so embarrassing.

I am unsure why she wants to hear this.

Hopefully Lois will see that he wanted her, loves her, but knows that he can't act on it.

Hopefully Lois realizes he loves her, and that is why he did what he did.

Lois: He needs me? I like the sound of that. Still, I have to be mad at him. He mad me humiliate myself, and even if I would be more mad if he had just given me love like I thought I wanted, I need to be mad at someone.

They sounded like an admission of desire.

Lois: Well, I was here the whole time.

I love the changes from canon.

Clark: I hope she does not wear that one. It will just tease me the whole time.

Lois: I hate depending on other people.

Clark: Well, she is less angry than I feared. Although maybe it is the calm before the storm.

Clark: .

I still don't think Lois would have died.

Clark: This is going much better than I hoped.

You really do like to torture Clark.

Lois: I can't wait to get my hands on that no-good Miranda. he admits she affects him.

Now that really does not fit here. Clark has never denied finding her attractive.

Not likely to work, ever. Even if the evidence was more conclusive.

That is really, really unfair.

I am still shocked Clark demanded the payment. Well, maybe it makes sense, but I think he would be better ofcv not pressing Lois so.

I guess I am not surprised Lois is not giving up easily.

He has a point, but should probably just bow out.

I just hope Lois does not really believe this.

She does have a point.

And Lois is wrong again.

Hopefully Clark humors her in this line of thinking.

Clark: I just hope I would not be affected, otherwise she might end up dieing.

I like how Clark is so good at banter.

It seems Lois is still very mad about the whole course of events. Clark needs to moon over her more.

Clark: I did one thing right.

Clark:

Lois: Another man who does not listen to me.

I have to say that I like how for the first time being in the honeymoon suite fully makes sense.

Maybe that is where the roses on Lois' desk came from.

Good point.

Clark: Plus, if we actually did get married, and we did want to tour something, we would do it in our own special private way.

Lois: How?

Clark: I don't feel up to telling you yet.

Lois: Which is not me.

she is still really mad at him.

You do like to torture your characters.

I guess it all makes sense what has happened between her and Clark, I just wish they would find a way to tell eachother how they really feel.

I wonder how much torture you have in mind for them. Still with you. I hope things get ironed out soon. I can't imagine where this is going to end up.

I think this is a major inprovement over canon. This actually makes sense as a line, not the accusation she would go somewhere and try to bill without approval.

Well, OK, maybe this sort of makes sense, I still prefer the first part.

Clark: I remember it to. I hope she eventually forgives me for then, but not yet. She said the words of thanks, but she is mad at me still.

his name is still on it.

Clark: Was she really plotting a wedding. Is she still stuck with the hotel costs. I wish we could get married, but then she would die.

Why oh why did he ask this?

Clark overheard that line.

This has to be really, really hard for Clark.

From a story point, this is much better than canon. The events of PML make sense as still overshadowing what is going on here, which they didn't really seem to do in canon.

I also am glad that Clark knows she is there as Mrs. Clark Kent.

I guess the fact that he was able to get her to smile and laugh, and that she did thank him for not taking advantage of her are good.

Still, Clark really and truly loves Lois, but she does not see it. They both feel for eachother, but are too afaid to open up.

I am surprised Clark has managed to go without telling anyone.

I am hoping he at least calls Lois at the Honeymoon Suite. I have to say from a story point of view it is good that they are working through the events with the pheremone. I am encoraged so far.

I do wish Clark had told her everything, but I am really, really glad he told what he did.

There is still hope for them.

I am still really confused by why Clark asked Lois if she was going alone, and even a bit more by her response.

She seems mad at him, but torn between being amd at him and feeling that he has rejected her.

I hope he figures out how to show her he still loves and cares for her, but it will be an uphill battle, especially since it seems to him that there is little hope.

I actually have to say that I have more hope for their moving forward now then I did at the end of the last installment.

I am a bit shocked that Lois has not even tried to get Clark to tell her what he was about to tell her. However I guess between being sad that he seems to have rejected her, at least how she sees it, being embarrassed by everything that happened and wanting to move around the awkward events, she is not up to bringing it up.

I am trying to not get too much hope for things inproving in the next section. Still, since Clark told more than I really hoped he would in this section, and since he does know the reservation was for Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent, I am feeling optimitic on the whole. I probably should not be, since this story has a lot more of a ways to go.

Ultra Woman: Thanks for responding.

Something as simple as Miranda had decided to bring her perfume sample with her to that first meeting with Lex.

In canon Miranda survived. In "Another Lois" Lex had her killed in prision after discovering that her spraying of the newsroom had endangered Lois by having Ralph attack her, which made Lois adverse to progressing their (Lex and hers) intimate relationship.

I've always felt that Miranda had many options for how she might react to Lex's rejection.

She won't find the note, because it doesn't exist in this timeline. That possibility was erased with alt-Clark's arrival. Even if she could have found it, keep in mind the note didn't arrive into this timeline until March of 1995.

Um... Thank you. I like that scene too. I've considered taking out the scene and posting as a "stand alone" story for those people not reading this story. I find it a fun challenge to come up with reasons why characters might have acted why they had.

Sydney: Hi Sydney! Thanks for the FDK and letting me know you're still reading.
Feel free, but I can't guarauntee you that we'd understand.

Thank you.

Merci. I enjoyed writing that scene as well.

It's a punishment, which keeps him out of the way without really harming him.

Thanks for popping by!

John: Thanks for the in-depth FDK! <<And for moving it over here>>

Trying his best doesn't mean that Lois won't beat him over the head for it.

He's trying not to think of it, which you can see isn't working. It's kind of like saying "don't think of the pretty girl in the bikini" and even if you weren't thinking of her, you are now.

Which is why he brought it.

He maybe being honest, but that doesn't necessarily make Lois feel any better about how she acted.

CLARK: No, no! Just about what happened (to her and between us) during the last two days.

Just because she hasn't said she feels mad, doesn't mean she isn't mad.

CLARK: She wasn't herself, and I did something she wouldn't have approved of (as far as he knew) had she been sober, hence "taking advantage."

CLARK:

LOIS: I have no idea what you're talking about.

She believes him now, but it doesn't make her feel any better.

CLARK: But... but... Herb said...

He's not feeling very optimistic at the moment.

LOIS: You might have... imagined it.

CLARK: Trust me, Lois, I'll never forget it.

Especially since it would have made her realize she had acted so wantonly with SUPERMAN!

Because it seemed like she was acting more like her true self.

Ooops. Thanks. Fixed.

Pretty much.

She remembers everything that happened during the past 2 days, only to her, her behavior didn't seem out of the ordinary.

That possibile future is now gone.



See, he's learning.

True. I had forgotten that.

Laura: Thanks for the FDK.

A lot. It isn't too fun if everyone is happy and coming up roses.

CLARK: Roses, ugh.

LOIS: My thoughts exactly.

It's going to end up at the beginning.

-- Response to John's FDK -- Cont.

Because what he had said might not have been as bad as she remembered it.

Maybe it will sink in eventually.

Maybe a little bit.

They've moved their relationship forward a bit more, so that necessitated a larger change here.

Actually, that IS the suit she wears.

It helps shows that she believes what he told her.





It's probably best if she doesn't at the moment.

Actually, I was kind of surprised in canon how cocky Miranda was during the perfume shop scene.

I don't think you can sue someone who is legally insane, (which Miranda was by the end of canon PML)

She's not thinking that clearly yet.

LOIS: He's making it very hard not to still be in love with him.

CLARK: I'm glad that she thanked me for not taking advantage of her, even though I did, despite telling to take advantage of her the next time she was inebriated and threw herself at me. I'm glad she's still talking to me.



Best not to mention it.

Does he need to?

He could hardly deny it... oh, wait, canon Clark did.

LOIS: Well, he didn't TRY to do anything with me. He kept pushing me away while I was kissing him. What am I supposed to think? That he's that nice of a man? Please! He's not Superman.

So, he should just stop trying?

Probably. But who says that Lois plays fair?

LOIS: I'm hurting and humiliated and Clark isn't telling me that he still loves me and wishes that we were together. Misery loves company, and I'm miserable.

CLARK: Why not? It's what she would have done.

LOIS: I'm sorry, what does this phrase "give up" mean?

CLARK: So, I should be a pushover?

She could just not want to lose the bet.

LOIS: Of course, I'm right. I'm always right.

LOIS: Ex-cuse me!

CLARK: Why not? I found it quite funny indeed.

-- Response to John's FDK -- Cont.

Thank you.

Right now, he's in a lamenting mood.

LOIS: More than one thing, until you left your apartment, but I'm not going to admit that out loud.

LOIS: But we haven't even TRIED yet.



Another man who will do anything to get what he wants out of Lois. No surprise he works for Lex.

Thank you.

The hotel?

LOIS: Then you'll be sure I won't be up to accepting your proposal.

Probably being that Metropolis is a big city like NYC.

Yes, they should, but then anyone could claim that they made reservations in error.

The honeymoon suite over Valentine's Day weekend? Yes, they could have re-booked and easily.

It's always possible.

She threatened him first.

Probably.

Not necessarily, since the reservations at the Lexor were made AFTER Herb stopped by.

Who me?

Give them time.

Thank you. But I think Perry's speaking from previous encounters with Ms. Lane. Actually, I was watching the George Reeves version of AoSM recently, and THAT Lois booked a flight without getting Perry's approval first, too.

She's mad at the situation, and that Clark hasn't tried to convince her that he wants a relationship. He's kind of leaving her hanging.

CLARK: But we can't make love!

LOIS: And *that's* the only reason to progress into a relationship.

CLARK: Well... um... no.

Thanks, Mr. Fredericks.

He doesn't know that the reservations were made before. Marriage doesn't equal death.

CAT: Speak for yourself.

Because after her date with Lex, he's worried that she might not be.



CLARK: You can say that again.

Thank you.

CLARK: At least, I know she wasn't planning on meeting up with anyone else.



Tell anyone about what? The curse? How exactly would he explain this? Plus, he hasn't really had much time.

Glad you approve.

There will always be hope, even when the characters cannot see it.

So true, so very true.

Clark: Now I have images of Lois in a bikini in my mind. I would not mind, but now I can't do anything with her. Grrr.

True, but at least this way he cannot be blind sided by someone else telling Lois about this and having him accused of being a liar, again.

Of course, maybe it would have been better to do it all at once. She will still feel some of the embarrassment when he does finally tell her, or she figures it out.

Clark, I think you had better tell her before she figures out.

Clark: Hey, I have made it nine months, I can make it a little longer. I will tell her once things are right.

Reader:Which at the rate you are going, will be never.

Lois: It worked. Lois looked at me more.

Your explanation that Lois remembers all of it but does not really see that she was acting out of character makes her later actions make sense.

She may at some level know that Clark did the right thing, but she still feels rejected by him and that hurts. Between being embarrassed at almost giving in, knowing he can't have her, and figuring she is still mad, Clark is not showing that he truly, deep down loves her.

Lois is really feeling like he rejected her, even if he has tried not to send that vive to her.

Clark:Lois, I will explain the whole matter before I propose. No one would be that much of a lunkhead.

Canon Clark:What? Why are you guys staring at me?

Even some not very big city's have such egregious rates. It is a popular thing to tax since the politicians can tell their constitutients "we just raised the hotel tax, a tax you don't have to pay, becuase you never use the hotels hear in our fair city, so it won't effect you."

Well, it is not like getting sprayed by Revenge is an everyday occurance.

Clark: There is no way I could marry Lois and remain celebate. And I don't think Lois would be keen on that idea either. That would just be pure torture.

I guess her "he finds me attractive" line did suggest that.

Well, since M&J know he is a time-traveling visitor from another dimension, it would not be too difficult to explain the curse to them. At least compared to explaining it to anyone else.
