Take one long collective breath and sigh. HiM is over, and now we can take a long break before... Hey, what's that in the sky?

JIMMY: A bird?

CAT: A plane?

PERRY: You fools! It's Superman!

LOIS: It's an asteroid! Hey, have any of you seen Clark?

**** How's that for big giant hint? ****

Comments?

Go Carlos - talk some sense into Clark! Sounds like a lot of action is coming up!


Joan

Clark has another friend.

Hmm, I think maybe it was already four people who knew the truth. I forgot to count Carlos along with Clark, Martha and Jonathan.

Apparently not, since that is presumably what Charles and Loisette had the before the curse first kised in. However, maybe Carlos is onto something. There might be a way to call directly on the power of God to overcome the curse. There might be a way to reverse the curse after it has been made, instead of stopping its initial creation.

However they did not try to directly counteract the curse with another power. The more I think about this, the more I hope someone gets the idea of trying to destroy the curse with a new power. Someone should have the power to destroy the curse.

I wish Carlos would reccomend to Clark to tell her. She really ought to know, even if she is unlikely to believe.

Clark:I am not that stupid. I would never think I could keep such things secret from my wife.

Arguably it should be "engaged to be married" but maybe this is just showing Carlos's not-top-notch English skills.

At least he did not try to blame Lois.

Carlos has very good points. This also goes to show why Superman and Lois should never let on the hint of scandal as they did in SLV.

Canon Clark:But we were married.

Canon Lois: this seems to just keep getting put off.

I wonder if it should be "rolling her eyes" considering it is "groaning".

Apparently St. John did not do very well at making it look like a random break-in.

Lois is here. I was afraid we would go the whole section without Lois.

So why exactly arn't they together right now?

Actually this really does not make sense at all. Well, maybe it does at some level, since this is a Luthor property, but why did Lois agree to such a patently unfair arrangement. Unless it was also offered to Clark, but she could not contact him?

Wait, is she trying to invite him to come over?

Why didn't Clark think to check the room for bugs? It is probably a good think he did not tell Lois the truth, or rush over there to tuck her in.

Hopefully they have no clue that CK=SM. Although it might make it hard to explain how Clark survives.

Padre Carlos is back!

I'm sure this is the part of being Superman that he hates the most at times.

I still believe he is. There's just too many commonalities for it to not be the case. And while I believe a Clark belongs with a Lois I have to wonder if THIS one is "lost" in the way the ghost was last time.

This is ever more true to Clark who has lived through just that scenario.

I would hope Clark doesn't believe that. While I suspect this Clark may not believe in God (or at least is in an "I don't know, but it seems unlikely" place in his life.)

Well what do you know, I'm out of Quotes. Time to start a second.

Um, the idea that something can come back to you isn't a Christian belief, Clark. The sins (like that of greed as you suggest) were washed away when Christ died and rose again.

Clark: I'm not so sure about that. I've had too many experiences that make me question.

Me: Why won't he take the hint and come over?

Clark: When did we make love? And how don't I remember it?

Clark: *whines like a puppy dog*

Lois: You could come over. I think you'd enjoy it now that we're not on the clock.

Lois: So I guess he's tired then. *pouts* I like it when he's not quite as tired.

Ah, Lois. Going to make things harder for him, I see.

Lois: But of course.

Of course she knew what he was going to say. And she's NOT in the mood to drop it.

Clark: *groans*

Clark: Padre, this is not going to be easy. At. All.

Lois: heeheehee.... At least I know that I'm having an affect on him and it's not me.

(BTW, I'm sure she knows but it doesn't hurt for him to stroke he "intimacy" ego just a little bit more and this is one good way to do that.)

Dreams of a Lois on satin sheets. A Lois in a babydoll blue negligee. Etc. Lots of enjoyable dreams.

You know, I've been meaning to figure out a way for Luthor to know about Lois and Clark's activities in the honeymoon suite without him knowing about Clark's secret for a "Honeymoon Suite" story that's been in the works. Hadn't thought of them being put in during the "comped night."

Joan: Thanks for the FDK.

Possibly.

John: Thanks for the comments.

And adds another difference between alt-Clark and Bruce Wayne to the checklist.

Right, him.

Unless "under God" in "a church" doesn't count if done in the woods by Friar Perry.

Hmmmm.

Doesn't he? As a priest, he's more of a sounding board.

I know I've read one story where Clark was married to Lana and didn't tell HER.

Nope. Typo. Thanks. Fixed.

Yes, that would have been very bad.

But a fake picture of a real event has to be taken as a loophole in the "truth" clause.

See, I knew he recommended it. Yes, truthS is more accurate, but -- like Clark -- Carlos sees the false identity as the most important secret to tell first.

CLARK: I may resemble that comment!

Good, because Carlos isn't going anywhere.

This answer is more truthful, he HAS been trying to tell her since he first met Trask, but then keeps changing his mind.

So, if he hadn't of fallen asleep on the couch that night, she might have gotten the truth out of him?

CLARK: Only stating it as it feels.

It's not like he'll consent to sex without a cure anyway.

Which is why he doesn't turn down the help.

<<nods>>

Yes, that does sound better. Thanks.

NIGEL: Perhaps I was a bit enthusiastic. But once you start breaking a man's stuff, it's hard to stop.

Oh, dear. But they spoke about her for most of it.

Because she couldn't reach Clark on the phone to tell him about the free night, because Superman was in Chicago helping with stranded motorists after a big snowfall.

It was offered to "Mr. & Mrs. Kent". Lois made the reservation, so the offer was made to both of them through her, but she couldn't reach him (see above)

LOIS: <<waves big obvious sign>> Perhaps.

Because the bugs were installed in the Lexor suite, not Clark's apartment... and he's trying not to visit Lois at the hotel at the moment.

No clue, and it might.

It was Friar Harry.

Anyway, since Lois and Clark's marriage was performed by an angel and Lois still died, before Herb came back so they could reset things, the marriage itself is not enough. I still think it would be worth trying to proactively destroy the curse. Maybe if they have Carlos perform the marriage and invoke the power of God against said curse in the ceremony for example.

I have read one story where Clark tells Lois on their wedding night. I also read two stories by CarolM where Clark did not tell Lois until about 3 months after he married her, but considering the circumstances which they got married under in both of them that is not too surprising.

Canon Clark:I am also lucky it was only 1997. If it had been much into 1998 they probably would have asked "Did you have sex with that woman", and I would have had no way to speak the truth while misdirecting them.

I assumed that Carlos thought of all the issues as one inter-related and connnected issue.

At least not if he remembers the curse.

It only counts if she is actually there. Otherwise I start complaining that it is not living up to being a Lois and Clark fan fic. Starts reminding me of the "Adventures of Superman" TV show, where in season 1 alone they had at least three Lois-less episodes despite listing her as the co-star, even in the credits to those episodes. False advertising in opening credits.

So they were both offered the free night then. Makes more sense then in canon, when only Lois was offered the free night.

Which also means that Lois is doing what she ought to do by inviting him. I was wondering at some level if he would have to sneak in to avoid charges, but since the free room is for both of them.

That just explains why Clark did not notice the bugs. My question was why he did not think to look for them. But I guess since he did not notice any in the hotel before, and becuase he does not know that Luthor was behind the break-in, this oversight does make sense.

Christina: Thanks for the long FDK!

I didn't know about that character, but since priests aren't supposed to divulge secrets, I thought it would be a good person for Clark to talk to.

He's nervous about why Superman is back. He had confessed some pretty serious secrets the last time he was there, and he's a pretty powerful guy. And, yes, he could be there to warn him that he's about to change Carlos's life forever.

Let's hope Carlos's private apartment is a better location.

He is drinking a cup.



I believe in "Soul Mates" it was established that either Lois or Clark were destined to be orphaned.



Exactly.

Seeing the big picture, and how others view the same event in history is sometimes a difficult feat.

CLARK: She's mine, and you can't have her. Ninner-ninner-ninner!

CARLOS: I'm a priest. I don't want her.

CLARK: So, you say.... but... but... but... She's Lois! How could you not be wiped off your feet by her?

CARLOS: :rolleyes:

Exactly. He might not believe him, but there could be the possibility.

CLARK: Yes.

CLARK: The clock wasn't why I hadn't enjoyed it in the first place.

CLARK: Phew.

Why would she make things easier for him?

LOIS:

CARLOS: If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. If it were easy, it wouldn't be a test of one's faith and inner strength.

LOIS: I know what I'm doing.

CLARK: I hope there aren't any crimes, natural disasters, or fires tonight.

LEX: It's called being sneaky.

I knew Perry wasn't right, I was too lazy to check the correct name.

Hmmmm. Interesting theory.

I really need to catch up on my reading.

True. I always thought it strange that the lawyer in the The People Vs. Lois Lane, never noticed that Superman didn't answer his question about whether he 'loved Lois'.

That's possible. I'll have to re-look over that scene.



CLARK: What do you mean, 'not remember the curse'? How could I forget about it?

Which is why I almost didn't leave the current part I'm working on at 17 pages, and stretched it out to 21 pages. But I said, what the hey! My cushion's at 8 parts at the moment.

Oh, dear. I guess you didn't like "Another Lois" then?

Like she wasn't being overcharged for that first night without him already.

Clark can't check every place Lois goes and he might talk to her for bugs, otherwise he'd become overly paranoid. And just because Lex owns the Lexor Hotel doesn't mean he would put listening devices and/or cameras in the honeymoon suite to spy on Lois.

LEX: I didn't. I had them installed, because other high value clients might use the room for off-the-books meetings. Plus, better... well, okay, cheaper than pay-per-view.

Which I believe is in itself a slight irony. (My husband probably would disagree, we often debate the concept.)

Only if he was the Golden/Early Silver Age version (that one was EVIL!)

I hadn't really thought of that idea. I'm wary of the idea honestly but it's a curious one and might work if I did it carefully.

Clark as Superman.

FTR, that means that in my personal head-canon for this story he's going to be with the Alt-Lois (from Alt-Clark's world) by the end of things. How that works? I dunno.

I'm ever more certain (after re-reading the script of Soulmates and "Tempus, Anyone?" that Clark's in the clear on the curse. It's possible that Wells is being overly cautious however (he really ought to be using that DERNED soul-tracker to determine if Carlos and Clark are THE SAME soul (different universes) or a SIMILAR soul (different universes.)

It's ironic that Tempus would like an ironic story where he accidentally erased himself from time?

I like fan-boy Mxy. He's funny.

I don't know your idea, but it would be fun if Michael (Mich-El) wasn't an angel but another Kryptonian who had lived on Earth a long time and discovered different powers which made him appear as if he were like an angel.

Yeah, that might upset her a tad.



Disclaimer: I'm not perfect. I can make mistakes. I try not to, but it's been known to happen, every once and a blue moon.

I suspect that he had it slip his mind (considering he's an eccentric scientist/author I think you can consider that a possibility.)

It could also be that he came up with his hypothesis prior to learning about Carlos, and the fact that Carlos is a priest leads him to consider him less likely to be a reincarnation of True Clark's soul.

I’m thinking he’s referring to Clark not being Catholic.





More children left at his doorstep? Also, wouldn’t the whole thing be moot once Ralph writes the tell-all story by Kara-Te, one of the concubines of the First Lord of Krypton?

Maybe he should have told her in his destroyed apartment? That way, anything throwable would already be broken?

Actually, the evil man only tried to do that. It was the evil author who went through with it.

CLARK:
LOIS:

Actually, isn’t the church against reincarnation?

Michael

Michael: Yea! Lots more of Cat to come.

Wouldn't Lex be surprised?

LEX: But officer here's the tapes, she was just talking to him on the phone and then the next moment she self-combusts.

CLARK: Um... wasn't it established that I've read books, watched television, and once or twice seen a porno? NOT from personal experience.

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

Really? Um... weren't you the one who suggested that was a no-no conversation up-above there for this very reason? Or are you just shocked because you were right?

But Nigel is taking care of it, not Lex himself.

No, just that a Kryptonian warlock would have some nice extra powers to work with. And once you remove the sideeffects of being hit by a lightning bolt thrown by an angry god to smite the annoying human, they’re not that scary anymore.

Unless you *want* to be known as the guy so stupid, he erased himself form history by his machinations.
LOIS: Oooh! Ooooh! Would that mean that he’s galactically stupid?

Cat’s going to come a lot more often now?

Michael

Hmmmm. But then they would have to get involved with someone else. Oh, I know... I could write a story... Where Clark married Lana and alt-Lois was reincarnated as his daughter, and he needed to kill himself off, so yucky things didn't happen. He's gets reincarnated as his teenage daughter's mistake. Only then repeat until someone gets the idea to kill both themselves and their child? I'm thinking I wouldn't write that story, let alone read it.

sounds like fun!


So, the angry god is Thor?



EW: I didn't say that.

CAT:

CLARK: So, her son can't be my child.

I didn't say that.

LEX: Oh, dear, am I getting predictable?
