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

Sorry that this part went a bit long, but I wanted to squeeze that last scene in.

Comments greatly appreciated.

*queue the sound of squealing delight*

I knew the scene where he asks her essentially point blank would work here! I doesn't change his memories but it DOES help them move forward (sorta, you jus gotta hate Jimmy at times like this.)

Well, I guess it is good that Cat knows what happened.

They were right.

This was not wise telling him so soon. Of course it does not help that Cat only knows that Ck=SM, she does not understand that he has always been CK, she thinks it is a recent inovation.

Fortunantly this is actually not the case.

I would have to agree with him here. The sane thing would have been to get him to go stand in the sun of the huge newsroom window to "warm up".

Then why did it take her a few days to even consider telling Perry? I think she is revising the past.

He is going to try to be more to Lois.

Lois:Does this mean we will move our relationship forward?

Clark: We have a relationship more than partners?

Lois:Yes we do, and if you weren't so lunkheaded we would have for a lot longer.

I think this is a good plan. It is not clear if Clark has recovered enough for it to be safe to take off his shirt on the roof.

After she stabbed him? Why should he?

She has not yet convinced him he is Superman. Nothing she said really even indicates such for sure.

Well, it was better than not befriending her and having her reveal his main secret to the world.

Most recently because things keep getting in the way. Unfortunantly Cat does not know that.

Which is only sortof a lie. If Lois knew the whole truth she would see that Clark had not deliberately lied about anything other than where he went to college.

Well he did try to tell her, but she did not believe him. On the other hand, he was really close to telling her on the flight with Superman to pick up the spaceship, but he wimped out.

This is probably why he did not tell her at some points.

Cat really should have not told him so much with no context.

Cat has done nothing to convince him CK=SM.

In a lot of ways this is not even a current issue, so Cat bringing it up makes no sense.

If Clark's main goal had been to just sleep with Lois, he could have done that really early on. Even in his Clark guise he could have done it early on if that was all he wanted.

Without his memories he really can't tell Lois anything.

Fortunantly this fear that an enemy knows who he really is is unforunded.

Considering Clark's weakened condition this is the last thing he needed to hear. Having Cat around right now seems to be the worst possible thing for Clark's emotions.

This is only sort of correct. He told her he grew up on a farm in Kansas because he did, unfortunantly it was a different Kansas than what she was thinking of.

This statement by Cat is also true. However it is only true once Lois knows the full truth, that Clark grew up on an alternate earth. If she just learns that he is SM, she might not understand at all why he wants to keep this a secret from her or why he wants her to love his Clark side.

Too much info again. If Cat was thinking she should have said "on your last undercover assignment".

Clark: Lois is back.

Well at least the seed of the idea of Superman has been planted.

Cat was not really all that helpful.

Even if that was true Lois is not about to accept it. However I am unconvinced it is true.

Well, technically she was not trying to get sex, but Cat has not even tried to give a good explanation.

False claims of being Superman would not have held up very long.

Fortunantly for Clark this is not the situation at all.

Lois is holding his hand.

She is wise to avoid mentioning that their working to gether was at one point a punishment.

I think this was the best answer possible. It is truthful at all levels.

More evidence that could work with Cat's claims.

This will be a hard thing to explain her way out of.

So she totally avoided his question.

This is more true than even Lois realizes.

Now Cat really has no hope of forcing her theory. I am but I have to wonder if this revelation has doomed this earth. I hope not.

she wants less to do with Luthor.

Well he does think he killed Superman, but I doubt he would tell Lois that.

I am just glad she became right about him by now, although she does not distrust him enough.

he is getting a little bit of his memory back.

That does sound like a good plan at one level, but I don't know if it would work.

Hopefully this will include not tipping off Lex to the fact that Kent is alive.

This is a good thing to tell him.

I still have a strong suspicion that Lex will try to prevent her from leaving.

And she stopped him from getting the sun he needed to recover.

It is the moment of truth.

she is showing him how close they are.

more kissing.

Of course it is Jimmy.

yes even more kissing.

I think this is a good plan.

she is staying with Clark and ignoring Lex.

she is going to go meet Luthor.

I am a little less worried that he will not let her leave. It would be the end for him, unless he really thinks Nightfall will hit and destroy the current society.

Somehow I doubt that, what with this story heading above 100 parts.

Still I wish Lois had stayed. I don't trust Luthor to let her go, although I hope he does let her go. I am sure she will not willingly stay with him.

How funny - Cat is trying so hard to really help Clark and Lois keeps getting in the way.


I'm worried about Jimmy.

Joan

Thanks for reading.

Christina:
I love that sound.

Jimmy works hard for his nickname. Anyway, THEY had invited him over.

Joan: More of Cat, Lois, and Clark coming up.

So, you think that there is a chain of Ralph foreign food restaurants specializing in botulism? Well, what else can you expect from a restaurant when it tells you how you'll feel right in the title?

John: For some reason, I thought you might like this part. <<whistle innocently>>

Kinda, sorta, not really.

True.

But based on the information they have an accurate guess.

Windows! I forgot about them, but I figured she wanted to get him somewhere private where they talked.

Well, actually, it was only a day, when she was looking at the blow-up picture Jimmy made. Then she debated the pros and cons with herself... The time between Superman's arrival and B39's raid was much shorter in my story.

I love how you didn't think it was someone else.

You might have noticed that things don't happen overnight in my stories.

That's not true. She planted the idea that he's Superman in his head.

CAT: Correction, the world needs me to help Clark more than for you to.

CLARK: I don't know. It seemed to work well with Cat. And if I'm trying to con a woman into bed, how long a con does it need to be for a one night stand?



LOIS: I don't like to think about that.

CAT:

She's Lois. She can get herself out of anything.

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

Well, kinda, sorta, not really in this dimension.

There is another way for Clark to believe Cat.

LEX: Lookie there, it's not on my to-do list.

Do you mean "fear"?

Lois needs to discover things for herself.

Well, she can always try.

CAT: See! Sunlight!

LEX: Lois come with me. Mr. Kent, why don't you stay here with Nigel St. John. He'd like to show you the view from my balcony.

LOIS: Clark? Clark who?

CLARK: I'll accept it.

LEX:

Actually, they spent the afternoon outside waiting for the launch of the Asgard rocket with the crowds.

Yes.

Actually, he leaned against her chest, but she took hold of his hand, so...

LOIS: About time!

They did invite him.

CLARK: What? You expected me to stop after wanting to kiss her all day?

Except for the fact Lex might actually know something useful. WE know he doesn't, but they don't.

LOIS: It is tempting. Yes.

LOIS: Work before pleasure.

You mean, because Super Clark will destroy Lex if he doesn't let Lois leave his bunker, which Lex would never admit to and certainly would never allow Lois to tell anyone else about?

It could be a very long night? Day never comes again?

LOIS: Handsome hunk wants me back at his apartment and possible death from world destruction vs. underground lair for 3 years with creepy guy chasing me around and no escape? Hmmmmm.

Not really good, or she doen't really know, or both?

True. Only if Clark can remember in detail will the realize his secret was not compromised. Which might lead them to not suspect Luthor if he acts in ways that show he has no clue that CK=SM.

I think Clark would have been better off emotionally not having the talk with Cat.

Actually, I don't think it was ever clear in canon. Except that "Neverending Battle" was supposed to be before "Stange Visitor", but they switched the order for unknown reasons. Luckily they never showed Clark's apartment in "Strange Visitor" or it really would have been clear things were not in order.

Except bringing up the idea that Lois may be in danger because of it seems to needlessly stoke his fears for her safety.

Well, she might understand a little more, but she will still not understand lots of things. She might even understand less. It depends on whether she still belives his stories of foster care and seeing his parents die and his horrible fiancee.

True, but it would have been better to not mention the location at all.

Clark:I like thinking about being in the honeymoon suite with Lois.

Yours because you have been less than friendly with Lois. If you were better friends with Lois she might tell you what was up.

Well, I might have read ahead before commenting. However, I think on the first read I was sure it was Lois. No one else made sense.

Except Cat figuring out that CK=SM.

I still think the interactions with Cat were net negative. Although maybe I am ignoring the huge astroid about to hit a little too much. I guess they don't have time for Clark to recover at the spead Lois did after thinking she was Wanda Detroit.

Lois:Plus I no longer remember it as a punishment.

Then why does Superman have to rescue her so often?

Hmm, maybe that is the problem. Lois just plain does not fear people. Even after they shot her.

Lois:It was an accident.

I am unconvinced this is a result of exposure to the sun.

This is a good thing then. Although, how did they justify Clark being in public when they are trying to keep his recovery secret?

Well, I was afraid such might happen when Jimmy showed up.

Has Lex ever known something useful?

Well there is a reason I never said I thought Lois would willingly stay there. I am just less sure that she will have any choice.

She doesn't really know.

LEX: If I did know, would I give my hand away?

CAT: Hey! I'm trying here!

I think they may have shown him still at the apartment (on the pay phone talking with his folks) in "Strange Visitor". I always assumed it (in canon) was a few days by the number of different newspapers which came out with a variety of photos of Superman on them between when he flew the Prometheus up (and Lois said she had been to the space station to Cat) and when Superman flies her into the office.

I vaguely remember that show. There's a modern live action remake called "Hanna Montana". You may have heard of it. That would make sense.

It's a popular plot device used by female fanfic writers though.

CAT: It couldn't hurt, could it? I mean other than give him hypothermia again.

EW: <<silently raises hand>>

Nah, he lives out of town.

True. But Lois claimed not to be involved with Clark.

But if I awoke with amnesia and some strange man said he was my husband, I believe I would feel MORE awkward towards him than if he said we're "roommates".

CAT: Take 'em off, big fella!

True.

CLARK: What's that?

He remembers some things. He knows how to walk, talk, eat, kiss...

CAT: He knows how to kiss?

CAT: Man, I'm so out of the loop. Why hasn't Clark told me that you guys are in a relationship?

Lois’s ex-jewelry.

Jellyfish. One of those that didn’t get eaten by the sharks.

So, they’re actually quite competent?



CAT: Staying in training?

[img]http://darkaeon.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/little-shop-of-horrors-728550.jpg?w=551[/img] Snob.

Yeah. He was really hard up at the time and she thought that he was the way way before.

RALPH: Baby brother! It *is* you. I thought I’d never find you again after Dad sold you to the gypsies for a sixpack and a joint.

Because he’s a liar and a cheat?

Yeah, I think so too, Clark. What a soap opera. :rolleyes:
.
.
.


LEX: I won’t have to pull my punches.

LOIS: He’s told her about his performance issues?

RACHEL:

Cat, you can’t measure love with a tape rule.



Well, she has to. Otherwise, she’s wasting a lot of time in the bars.

Lois won’t like that fixation on getting him undressed.

See?

also, better without the ‘in’? You can’t scream it like that.

Poor girl, being forced to follow up on her own words.

CLARK: I’m allowed to say no?
LOIS: Not to me.

She does realize that she’s currently on a rooftop and Superman still needs a new

So, don’t hop into the van with the nice British gentleman handing out candy?

That is worse than the friend zone, isn’t it?

Well, he does have a couple of years on her.

Atta EW.

She likes him like a DFCB?

Awwww, it’s nice that he can pretend for a little while longer that there’s no performance pressure on him.

Michael

I guess even though McCorkle could tell there was something between Lois and Clark, the fact she denied it shows it is in its early stage.

More importantly he remembers that he does not kiss you.

Because he values secrets. He has seen what happens when too many people learn something that is best kept private, so he keeps as much as possible private. Anyway, telling his parents is one thing, telling another woman before he has permission just does not work.

OK, Perry could not have fired him for that. However, he seems to be an at will employee, so Perry could probably just fire him without giving a reason. Or giving as a reason a need to have good relationships in the newsroom. ALthough, since Clark would have wnated more than just a one-night stand, he probably could have convinced Lois to not be too mad at him, well he could have told him he was SM and worked through her anger. However Clark just would not have done something like that, so it is a mute point.

Actually I think it makes him want to be with Lois more.

It can be in your mind at least.

Nah, that only applies with Lois.

But she has said octopus.

I guess that makes sense. It still seems he should avoid large crowds if he wants to pretend to be dead.

Well, he did not know anything useful with Rourke, they told him not the other way around. With "Ides of Metropolis" I was going to point out it is in the future, but I guess Lois lived it already. Maybe even twice. I guess maybe then Luthor gave them something useful, but Lois and Clark also always talked to him as a team.

I am pretty sure you should change "hospitaal at how" to just "hosptial how".

Michael: I should catch up with you hopefully by this weekend. Wait, tomorrow's Friday?

As a minor point, yes, Clark you are.

Jeremy?

So, you're hoping for some blood? Ralph tried to rape her in another time...

Oh, dear. Well, good thing Clark lives a long time. Once he gets out of jail for those murders, he should have SOME life left, right?

Not in this universe.



Do you know that there's an old Swedish (I think) film, black and white, if I remember correctly, non-musical version of this story? I saw it before Steve Martin's LSoH came out. I do remember it had subtitles and was scary.

Hey, it's always possible.

CLARK:

CLARK: Right. I forgot.



LOIS: Oh, goody! Does that mean I don't have to pull mine either? Oh, btw, my lips are attached to my knee reflex, and any part of my body below my neck.

No. Why would anything happen with Lois, if nothing would happen with Cat?

CLARK: Hey, she started it.

CAT: No, but you can measure a good time that way.

CAT: My whole life is spent at cocktail parties masquerading as charity functions. Why would I need to set food in a bar?

But she'll understand it, because she's been afflicted with the same disease, right?

Good point. It's fixed. Screaming is very important.

CLARK: Um... Lois?... Why are you caressing my chest? I thought we were heading down to the news... <<finds Lois's lips pressed against his and the buttons on his shirt flying through the air>> Okay. This is better. Much warmer. I see your point. Should I drop my pants too?

CLARK: Do I look that stupid?
LOIS: Do you really want me to answer that?

Yes, Cat knows this. Lois does not understand the whole plant gets bigger with sunlight theory.

CLARK: But, Looooooo-iiiis. It was CHOCOLATE!

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

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "yes".

CLARK: Unfortunately, I couldn't include my work in another dimension on my resume. It's why Perry didn't hire me at first, because he didn't know that we'd worked together for years back in my dimension.



Oh. Oh. I can't say that on this board... Or that... ARGH!

She's basically telling Lois to wait until he figures out he's in love with her.

CAT: NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Good point.

One night stands between Lois and Clark have been explored in other fic. May I recommend... Caroline K's excellent Stardust ?

Perry?

He wasn't on stage in front of them.

LEX: I told them it was tsunami (in canon). And I let Lois know that Clark didn't have a past. Really, I'm quite a good friend to her.

LOIS: Debatable.

CLARK: This man clearly doesn't understand the definition of "friend".

Thanks. Fixed.

I’ve been buuussssy!



For some reason I thought that’s Alt-Clark’s middle name.

Plus, he’ll make great friends with his cell-husband Bubba.

They’d better, given how she is often described as a stuck-up matron.

And she just convinced him that she’s a respectable librarian. Huh, maybe it’s her twin-sister?

Good point. Was still thinking Delvian there.

Nope.
