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

Got to make this quick, because my computer has already switched off on me twice "due to internal temperatures". I knew I shouldn't have watched that S2 episode of LnC, while trying to post this part.



Also, yes, "Meena" is Lois's interpretation of how she thinks "Minha" is spelled.

Hopefully my computer will be feeling better by Friday night. If not, I'll be posting from my laptop. (The wonders of e-mailing your story to yourself. It saves in back-up disks).

Comments?

Once again you tease us! Tea, indeed. :p

Joan

I have to admit that this heading initially totally confused me. This is partly because I have always thought of Minha as pronounced how I would say "My nah". I know that it really is pronounced me, but I am so ingraned into English pronouncing that I have always mispronounced it, and so it initially totally baffled me.

Wait, they are not allowing him to read? This does sound harsh.

Lois:He really is off if he is not focused on them not letting me in.

[Qute]The inspector stared at him[/Quote]

Henderson is probably by now totally concinved CK=SM.

This is probably the best reason to tell Clark at this point.

Lois:How can Clark not recognize my name?

I am sure it is.

I did figure out who Meena was at this point, and I guess it makes sense she spells it this way.

I guess it makes sense he thinks this. He does not know about Chuck.

at least he still recognizes this important truth.

It seems if this is a quote, it would probably be "if you can't say something nice", this looks more like a paraphrase.

My first reaction was that she really did not pay attention to her patients.

I had forgotten that Henderson had not told them his identity.

At some level he remembers the show down with Tempus under that name. At first I wondered why, and then I remembered that this is after alt-Clark went to help during that problem.

I would have to say this is just an even more annoying line from the nurse. She is not a person with no memory, so her use of "us" just comes across as a false attempt at empathy.

Oh I really do not like this nurse. Being named John and having dealt with far too many people who think that it is just a nickname for Jonathan, I have to say that this is the most cringeworthy line ever.

So now I understand the section heading. Until this point I figured we would be seeing Smallville this section.

I guess Henderson would have recognized this as a pciture of Lois. However it is hard to know if what he would have said about Lois would have really helped Clark at all.

Somehow I expect her to make it to his room before then.

Lois:I like the sound of that. But why does he not recognize me more?

Although I could not actually imagine naming a girl Perry. I am sure it has been done, but between Perry White and Perry Mason, I just could not do it.

I am loving this idea.

Evidently he no longer remembers he does not eat sugar.

Lois: Clark is cured of his sugar aversion.

Reader:It might not last past his recovery of his memories.

So Lois went outside to out manover the guards?

So far he is essentially 100% correct.

Signs that he is probably not dreaming.

Somehow I don't think this is a dream.

Clark:It is clearly a dream come true.

why does he only ever want to make love when we are in extremely difficult situations, likely to get interrupted any time. He could have done it in the Honeymoon suite, or when I was seducing him with my red and blue outfit, but no, he wants to do it now or when we are in a supply closet.

Somehow I think it is not part of approved nurse practice though.

Was Mindy there?

Clark, you arn't supposed to tell her the truth about this.

One thing is for sure. None of Clark's dialogue so far would make Lois suspect he does not know her name.

He is really enjoying himself.

I think it should be "and tossed it off" to fit with the unbuttoned in the previous line.

Lois: he will stop lieing to me.

This seems quite daring for a hospital room where a policeman or the nurse might interrupt at any moment.

I am surprised she did not do that sooner.

Well, it seems that Wells' theory about the curse is about to be tested.

so was it all a dream? All real? Some a dream, so,e real?

At least some of what he experiences I am sure was a dream. Ah, I was so hoping Wells' would be disproved. Hmm, although maybe Lois could convince him that it did happen, hmmm.

That does sound like a very heavy disappointment.

I think though she had been here.

Well, fortunantly for him, even if he dreamed the entire interaction with her, she really does exist, and really does love him.

Lois:Only in my dreams.

That would be a good sign.

Well, there is hope for this. Well, except it is not possible to do "again" what you have not done, but still. Although if he regains his memory I have little hope for it any time soon.

Even if she had not been in his room at all, she does exist.

This is true.

right again

Totally right.

This is probably the most supported conclusion of all of them. If he was Henderson would have almsot certainly told him.

Well, actually he is Chuck. Clark is not boring, and definantly not a loner. Although Henderson has done nothing to undermine that self image.

Clark:You can't even get my name right, there is plenty to grumble at.

I guess that is one way to interpret his dream.

It does appear that Lois was there.

Fortunantly she seems to have been here, but where is she now?

I don't think she meant that in the way Clark will take it.

More evidence that Lois was there.

Where did that comes from?

Ovwerall I think you interactions of Clark and the nurse are well written.

Lois is really here. To this point I was not sure. Although, did they do as much as Clark remembers? Or more? or less?

Yep, that would have been a bad decision. I don't think she could have hidden in the shower, and the bathroom would not have worked at all.

My guess is the nurse found the picture, but I could be wrong.

So I guess Clark dreamed the removal of her slacks and blouse and bra. I guess those did seem a bit much in the circumstances.

I hope he does not have to do more walking, but we shall see.

She has no clue he did not realize she was really there, and even less that he has amnesia.

Very good questions.

Mostly she is right.

Well, actually it was mostly not Henderson's doing. His protection of Clark is a lot less proactive, except with Lois.

Clark: This lady needs me. Now I have to rmember who she is.

So let me get this straight. The morning before she talked to Clark before he went to EPRAD. Then she talked to Superman at EPRAD. Then that evening Clark gave her a call. When she got the message she went to his place, about 10pm, and realized he was missing. She spent the night searching every hospital. Then the next afternoon she got the message from Henderson, and went to see him. She spent a long time staking out the police station, then had to wait to go into the hospital, and it took a bit to find his room. So all told it was well under 48 hours that Clark was missing.

So they were together on the bed.

This is because he was.

Ah, so he was awake, at least slightly, at least part of the time.

I think the later is a function of her being Lois.

So that was what was on the bed.

Hmm, keep telling yourself that Lois, and you might actually believe it.

With the number of times he has done this she should no longer doubt that side exists.

Well, this is one of the reasons he thinks he was dreaming. However if he had his memory he probably wouldn't. Although if he had his memory he would has stopped, even in the dream.

Clark:I prefer you with no covering, Lois.

Evidently he really can touch her like that while alseep.

Sadly right now Superman might a well not exist.

So the question is, what really happened. My guess is that Lois was there, but some of the things were only in Clark's mind.

Well, I am glad Lois found Clark. She will have to realize he has memory problems pretty soon. I hope the nurse does not notice her and have her removed before she can talk with Clark.

Sneaky Lois, for a minute I thought she was going to be dead on the floor from the curse. More soon. Laura

FYI: I threatened to take my computer to the repair shop to have the fans checked, but then had to bring it back home because my repair guy closed shop. So, I've given my computer another good blow of air and it's currently behaving and not running its fan. We'll see how long this lasts. , I'm not a big fan of my extra-sensitive laptop, which likes to select and delete passages of text without my consent.

Joan: Thanks for still sticking with me. Who? What? Me? Tease? Yes, I needed the cup of tea so my readers would realize it was only their dirty minds playing tricks on them, not the EW. This being a Gfic and all.

Laura: Hmmmm. Dead Lois, huh? Well, that would shorten this fic considerably. So, either this Reader doesn't think that Herb being "wrong" (according to Star) means about the curse affecting alt-Clark and this Lois, or she's so ready for me to write "The End" she's willing to have me kill Lois to get it. Interesting. More was prepped this afternoon for tomorrow night's posting.

Ooops. There goes the fan again. I made it through posting two FDK responses. Gee, thanks, computer. Hopefully, it doesn't turn off on me again like it did (TWICE) Tuesday night when I was trying to do a little last minute research before posting this part (okay, and I got sucked into Dean's commentary on "Seasons Greeding", so never finished my research.)

John: Another multi-part FDK! Thank you.

I can understand this. Meen-a isn't the correct pronunciation either. Google Translate has it more Meen-ya. This is just Lois's interpretation / guess on how it's spelled from only hearing the word.

And, yes, this title was supposed to baffle you and wonder if you'd be heading to Smallville.

He's already complaining of his eyes hurting. Why would they allow him to read, which could also strain his eyes more?

CLARK: I'd let them let you in, if I knew you existed.

HENDERSON: <<fist-pump>> I have no idea to what you're referring.

Even Henderson understands the need for secrecy.

Firstly, he didn't hear it proper. Secondly, no memories. Thirdly, EW thought it would be funny to mention Bane after watching "Dark Knight Returns".

LOIS: Thank you.

Neither does Henderson.

I've known several cats named "Cat" in my lifetime (none of whom resided with me).

Yes, it was in code, although Perry, Jimmy, and Cat references kind of give it away.

Superman's personal life isn't known. As far as anyone knows, he came to Earth alone, but he could have easily brought a spouse and children, whom he doesn't want to reveal to the public at large. It could explain why he won't kiss Lois, right?

LOIS: (That would be Lois with Kryptonite laser, BTW).

That he's a good artist?

Being that it was a thought, not a ghostly voice (like Lois hears), I used single quotes.

Well, he's not her only patient.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Old school nursing which uses Royal plural when referring to patients.

I thought you might notice that line.

<<really need a whistling devil smilie>>



LOIS: I should hope so!



I thought Mayson was a strange woman's name too. SQD used "Perry" for Lois's daughter in one of her fics, which is where it came from.

Clark's had a really LONG boring day. His imagination is going wild.

Nope. Also, the cupcakes is in reference to how Lois greeted him at the door once during "Lois and Clarks".

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK --

My homage to the old George Reeves Superman show which seems to have them out on the ledge all the time.

CLARK: Why would this woman fly in my window?



Well, at least, it confirms his identity, right?

Nah, you're probably right.

Lois & Clark: No comment.

Yes.



Technically. But he doesn't consider moaning her name as really "speaking".

Right. Lois, the adrenaline junkie, wouldn't like sex where they might get caught. Nope, no, siree.

NURSES: Well, if he wasn't in the hospital and I needed to warm him up quickly...



Thank you. Sadly, they come from personal experiences as a patient. Write what you know.

Him, him as in this very Clark?

-- Continuation of Response to John FDK --

Only Lois's memories aren't the fuzzy ones.

There was a closet in the bathroom in my hospital room.

Yes, picture.





LOIS: Hello? Lois Lane here! Of course, I'm right!

HENDERSON: Let her think I'm doing a good job.

It's been just over 24 hours since she found his phone message.

LOIS: No man can kiss like that in his sleep.

LOIS:

CLARK: John!

Of course. What else could have been?



Good point. Fixed.

Lois doesn't know that.

Clark!

Or he was having one of those dreams where you think you're awake, but you're actually asleep, only this time he was actually awake, but thought he was asleep.

He exists. He's just hibernating.

Some of your questions will be answered in tomorrow night part of "Wrong Clark". Stay tuned!

Yes. A fully clothed Lois greeted alt-Clark with a platter of Hostess Cupcakes and Twinkies, which is how where we first learned of Alt-Clark's disinterest in sweets.

I was reading the spoilers and WHAM warning, and realized that due to something not having happened yet, we are not yet to "approximately halfway through the story". This would suggest this story will probably be at least about 180 parts.

Although, maybe the length after the unnamed event that has not happened is not actually equal to the amount of the story that precedes it. I mean "approximately half-way through" is fairly open.

Well, I guess it makes sense. However that does not make it less mind-numbingly boring.

Lois:What? Clark has no memories? How did this happen? I told Superman that if he went into space something horrible would happen to Clark, but did he listen to me, noo. He just had to go and do it because "he gave his workd". Whatever, maybe next time he will remember that it is best to take my advice.

Reader:Well, right now he does not remember.

Lois:We were talking about Superman, not Clark.

Reader:Well, you see.

Lois:I see I need to go talk to Clark, bye.

I guess most of the people who know about Chuck are in Smallville.

I was more thinking that some of what was said, if Henderson read it, was supposed to make him think that Lois would not sneak in, if he figured it was from Lois.

That Lois is beautiful.

So not a child of Clark too?

That was one thing the L&C Daily Planet lacked. Although they do use a ledge at Lois' place in "The Ides of Metropolis".

I was more thinking that her outfit did not match what he had imagined her in so far. And her hair does not match what he has imagined either. Although that might just be his memory starting to come back.

I really do need to proofread my comments better.

I guess that is true. Also I guess I can't really saw January 1st was "before they became a couple". All I can say is that "they were not officially a couple on January 1st". They had gone on at an absolute minimum of one totally official date beofre then, and if we count Lois trying to have a public relationship with Clark to cover a secret relationship with Superman, they had tried being a couple at least twice before then.

Lois:I could tell this was Clark from when I entered the room.

I guess that is a good point. One word is hardly a speach.

I guess when you put it that way, I do have to admit that was not the reason they did not do anything at the Metro Club. Although I have to say I never understood why Clark let Toni Taylor into his apartment. Or how Toni found his apartment to begin with either.

Clark:Only because Meena is so hot.

I hope you were not an amnisiac who had been pulled from a near-death drowning suffering from hypothermia though.

So even though she was asleep part of the time, she still knows for sure what happened?

I guess between the premonition of horror and the fact that she had good reason to think he was abducted she was right to worry. Also, he would be dead if he was not SM.

Well, I think he was at least only partly awake. Although that is not the same thing as being asleep.

Well, I hope the answer isn't "the nurse finds Lois and escorts her out". That would be no fun.

How could anyone with a sweet tooth not remember it?

That was one of the big ol' differences between alt-Clark and canon Clark. If you've read any of my major over 100 part epics (and yes, I'm including this one) Alt-Clark's sweet aversion plays a part.

Thanks for dropping by, Mrs. L., my muse.

Let me just say by way of disclaimer, John, that the WHAM warning was written when I'd only had less than 20 parts completed and did not yet have an estimate of how long this story will be. Some story threads / arcs (Lois getting shot, the Smallville Arc, and ASU Arc) took longer to move through than expected because they became meatier once I got down to it.

I currently estimate that half-way marker mentioned in the WHAM will probably happen anywhere between half-way to 2/3 the way through, otherwise we would probably hit over 200 parts and I think that would kill me. I expect the story to move faster time-line wise, once we hit that marker (or at least once I finish writing the arc in which it is included). <<shrugs adorably>> but then again, I thought GEM would be under 10 parts.

At this point I'm currently working on parts 97 and 98 and don't even want to think 180 at the moment.

Which is why he has taken this grand opportunity to stretch his creative muscles and daydream / night dream / fantasize with what he's been given.



I thought that was Jerome.

LOIS: Possibly.

CLARK: Duh!

You would have to read the fic to find out. Michael doesn't like it when I drop spoilers in FDK threads.

Oh, yes, the Clark hovering off the edge of the ledge. I had forgotten about that. And, of course, the wonderful Tempus popcorn scene from "Tempus Anyone?"

That's some imagination Clark has there.

Their one official date being her birthday?

PERRY: *Always!* *Always* Double Check your facts!

LOIS: He can moan that any time he likes.

She was his undercover persona's boss?

I thought about making Nurse Michelle actually be Nurse Mindy, but I thought we don't need to include EVERYONE from canon, now do we?

At this moment, his brain isn't up to telling the difference.

Some dreams can actually do that.

LOIS: Yeah, that would be bad.



CLARK: But now I have to find her!

um... yes.

I don't think they insisted more than they didn't believe him and he produced "proof".

And that can't happen if one is married? (Shouldn't, yes, but can't?)

The last time I think Henderson, Lois and Clark were all together was when they were trying to figure out who the Voyeur was (when Clark bought the lava lamps). At that point, Lois had just been shot and dumped by Superman. So she and Clark didn't, technically, have more than a "partnership / friendship" relationship going on.

LOIS: And WHOSE fault was that?

CLARK:

Nope. That's creative license and research.
