And now the fun really begins.

Comments?

I don't know if you meant with the asteroid strikes or when the asteroid strikes. Either way it is hilarious. I sure hope I never get struck with the asteroid strikes. . . I should probably stay away from Indian food.

Yikes! I knew the Ralph chain was bad...

I swear I think there must be a virus on my computer which changes words which were correct when I wrote them, so that they're incorrect by the time I post them.

Thanks for catching this. I've cured Jimmy's asteroid problem and he feels much better now.

JIMMY: Thanks. Phew.

Yeah - no one's been affected by Ralph's Indian food.

It's only morning but you're killing me here:

Way to go Lois and get them all!

I love Cat helping Clark.

Joan

Joan: It was Cat's plan to have Jimmy K.O.'d by the food, but I found a nicer way to get him out of the way. <<I felt bad about taking his scoop away from him>>

I figure Lex would go all out since it was the end of the world, and he knows Lois has a sweet tooth. It's easier to reject a generic "dessert" than a "dessert menu".

She's still not done.

Oh dear, it looks like Lois got manipulated RIGHT into a corner again. I suspect her comment from canon will still be useful to extricate herself but I wonder what that will mean for Luthor and Clark (I know, I know. I'm asking for "spoilers" so don't worry about it.)

Christina: Thanks for the comment.
Well, at least she's consistently blind, right?

Unfortunately, due to spoilage laws on this website I cannot reveal what will happen in parts to come. Although, one of my Betas DID need to go on vacation after reading it. )

that Lois has left.

Not that Luthor will really help with that.

This door is different from his door in canon. That had so much glass that Lois broke some of it to get in when she saw Superman on the ground in "Top Copy".

Clark's powers are coming back. This world might not be destroyed by the astroid.

Why does Cat want to get Jimmy sick?

Well at the time Lois thought you were about to propose and planned on sleeping with you every night.

Clark:They why is she not wearing a ring?

Reader:I said she thought you were going to propose, not that you did.

Clark:Why would I not want to marry Lois?

Reader:Ah, well you want to marry Lois, its complicated. Don't worry too much about it for now.

She was actually following the advice of the psychiatrist. Although the fact that they have not publicaly acknowledged their relationship also is a factor.

Please tell me Deter will not appaear in this tale.

[Quiote]How old was he anyway, he wondered. He shrugged it off.[/Quote]

This is a question no one knows the answer to. a- he is a time traveler, which has just given us headaches on its own. B-No one is really sure if he really got to earth in just a very short time, or if because he was traveling at relativistic speeds/faster than the speed of light time slowed for him while traveling to earth. Although I guess functionally that does not affect his age, it just means he may have been born much sooner than he seems to have been.

Well, it actually sounds like it was meant to "hide" them, as opposed to just keep them.

Well the condoms box is unopened, so he has no evidence of having used such items. Of course that could just mean they just went through the previous box and he just got this box. Maybe that is why it is hidden away, because it is the backup for when the current box gets used up.

I am surprised he has not decided that Meena was Lois in the flesh. However I guess since she has not said anything about what happened last night, and since he knows they clearly had some sort of relationship after the kisses, not to mention finding the clothes, it makes sense he figured he just dreamed her presence there.

Thus making Cat's actions seem even crazier.

They found the suit. Now Jimmy can write the story that Superman has returned.

Clark:Well, maybe Cat is right. Still, better not tell Jimmy that.

She does not fear Luthor enough.

Sounds like a good plan, but somehow I fear Luthor will take a long time to tell her nothing, or at least nothing useful.

So why didn't she just go back to Clark's now?

Well, knowing it is a trap makes her safer. However, it might not get her out.

Her revulstion at Luthor is still too low if she allows him to kiss her in any way.

Also wisely she did not mention that she ate dinner with her parner.

she still trusts Superman.

Technically she has kissed him even, but she does not know that.

It would be a very hard world. Although the biggest problem with it she does not realize because she does not know SM=CK.

Everyone is lucky because of this. Only a select few realize why.

If she was smart she would call his bluff and start walking out now.

Fortuantly that is easily explained.

That really is an uncalled for reaction to the situation.

Which just shows how little Cat knows. Even Lois knows he has known them longer than that.

He is as much their son as the toher Clark ever was. At least they got to interact with him while alive.

I have to agree with Clark's assesment here.

Lois would be very glad to learn that detail.

He does have a good point. Also, it is more Clark is Cat's best friend than the other way around. For Clark Jimmy and Lois are at least friends more or less almost as much as Cat. Lois maybe more, but since she is his girlfriend it is hard to say for sure.

I guess Jonathan is right. However Cat seems to be going about this all wrong. Especially since Jonathan and Martha are more parents to Clark than she is willing to admit.

I think Martha understands th truth the best right now.

Cat's chronology is being undermined.

The letters.

Well, it only takes about 3 hours if that to fly from Kansas to Metropolis, so it is doable.

Well it is a letter from him, so I can't see reading it as too problematic. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Well, at least he knows he wanted to tell Lois.

Now he knows for sure he is Chuck. Not that he really had much doubt after what Jimmy told him, or really any after kissing Lois.

Technically this is not an admission that he is Superman.

So here he says it clearly. Now Clark almsot has to accept he is Superman.

I guess though it is a lot to take in. Denying still makes sense.

Umm, now he is going to really freak out.

Fortunantly Cat is wrong about this detail.

He probably still has a point.

So are Jonthan and Martha still on the other end of the line. That detail got a bit confused.

I think it should say "It's".

Don't go Lois, don't go.

Yes, but with Luthor love is an odd and twisted thing.

I think that should be "because of her".

At first I wondered if these were from his other guests. Then I wondered if they were used for The Boss business. However my final conclusion is that they serve the same function as his secret colections. He likes having them and looking at them as things of beauty that he alone enjoys.

To flaunt his wealth?

I still have a big fear that Luthor won't let her get out. I hope he does, but we shall see.

There there. People rarely die from ‘food’ bought Ralph’s restroom chain. You’ll probably see her again in the morning. If she manages to escape from Lex’s gilded cage.

Same as with nude entertainment. Using a telescope.



So, they’re going to have an orgy?

CLARK: Superman donates space suit to charity auction.

Maybe he should try putting the finger into the mixer?

And now he’s naked and probably holed up with some young heiress or a porn starlet or two.

Jimmy! What if it’s the Kents who have finally put out a hit on the guy who stole their dead son’s identity?

She’s a smart cookie!

So, he’s going to remember over the phone and when Jimmy gets back, the apartment will be empty and Lois will kill Jimmy?

Michael

John: I'm a little behind on my responding as I got stuck in a scene that just wouldn't work for me, but now my cushion is frightfully low... let's see I just finished 100 and will post 95 Tuesday night... Yikes! 5 parts. So, I apologize if my responses are a bit delayed.

All things (for the most part) happen for a reason.

They don't know that.

No, he has switched to a solid wood door here. Having been robbed several (hundred) times in alt-dimension and then since moving here as made him extra cautious.

Are they? Or is he just remembering that the door used to have glass?

CAT: The better for him to leave, my dear.

Actually, they've discussed marriage several times already.

And factor in that she didn't want to say 'we're dating' only to have him reject her, too.

No comment.

CLARK:

Let's just say early 30s.

CLARK: Thanks.

You know that. I know that. He doesn't know that.

Yep, spare box.

Until proven otherwise, "Meena" is a fantasy character in his opinion.

CLARK:

CAT: <<shrugs adorably>>

She knows more than Clark.

I felt bad that I took away his big break, so I did this instead upset his stomach.

<<Tank cries at missed opportunities>>

Hmmmm.

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

LOIS: I don't "fear" anyone.

LEX: But I like the scenic route. It makes it more difficult for people to find the bodies.

Curiosity.

LOIS: <<double checks briefcase>> Lock picks. Check.

There's a certain group of people who believe that kissing cheeks is an acceptable form of greeting. Throwing up on Luthor when he might have information for her, will not help her career any.

Extra information that didn't need to be said.

LOIS: He hasn't given me a reason for not trusting him, other than dumping me for my own good.

Technically, if CK doesn't recover his abilities, she *could* live in a world without Superman. A post-asteroid wasteland, perhaps, but live indeed.

While she doesn't trust Luthor like canon Lois did, she still is more courteous with him than with others... due to his position in Metropolis. That's not really a bridge she wants to burn.

Amnesia?

Speedy recovery is of an essence at the moment.

Yes, but Lois went to Smallville with him. Cat did not.

I first I thought you were talking about the alt-Kents.

MARTHA & JONATHAN: Thanks for the salt in our wounds.

Clark is friends with all of them in very different ways. Jimmy is his guy friend; they do guy stuff together. Lois is his partner, the woman he loves, and wants to spend his life with. Cat is more his confidant.

She doesn't know this. She thinks they're only friends.

You really don't like Cat much, do you?

Improbable. But doable.

Yes, but he doesn't remember writing it.

Acceptance is only the first step.

Phew.



Better to err on the side of caution.

Yes, Clark hadn't hung up on them, just dropped the phone on the ground.

Thanks. Fixed.



You know that. I know that. Clark knows that. Lois still hasn't taken off her sunglasses in the dark room.

I'm going to blame the grammar gnomes. I swear they keep coming into my computer and changing my copy. Thanks for catching that.

The other guests haven't started to arrive yet.

I was going to say that "The Boss" doesn't meet with anyone below Boss level, but that's not true. He met with Menken, and that Smart Kid's doctor Carleton, the scientist from MoSB, Miranda, even Jack in Foundling (okay, he hung back in the shadows but he was there). He's actually more out in the open than I thought. Usually they meet in HIS office though.

Ding! Ding! DING! We've got a winner!

This is a man with money to burn. Literally.

Clark:I have a strong feeling he won't be helpful.

I am sticking with my first explanation.

Ture, but he has not proposed. Anyway the main example of that that comes to mind was connected with him telling her about alternate dimension in a way she did not believe it, so it is not clear they ever seriously discussed it.

Although since she heard him tell nurse Michelle about him, she really should not worry about that possibility.

Not from a mass murderer.

Good point, but if she thought of Luthor as a friend she might have let it slip.

But would it really be "without Superman" if Clark was there? Is not Superman more than just the abilities?

True, but it still shows Lois knows more than Cat.

Lois: I know more than cat.

I don;t think I like Cat at all. I still feel she is invading Lois's proper territory.

Actually there is nothing he knows which says he was in Metropolis any particular time beofe Thursday night, so maybe he had been on a week-long visit to the Kents. It really does not seem improbable with what he actually knows.

Lois:Not if it keeps you from the story.

Although she seems close to realizing that Luthors's love does not cause him to treat her right. On the other hand, him shooting her should lead her to realize that whatever his feelings for her may be they do not gaurantee her safety.

So he does not need cars for The Boss business.

I get more points.

I don't think Lois should have eaten any of the desserts or accepted a drink from Luthor. I kept thinking that he would have drugged her that way. If there's one thing I've learned from the Count of Monte Cristo, it's not to eat anything in the house of your enemies. I guess she doesn't really see him as an enemy, despite not trusting him, but I get the feeling that he's not just going to let her go like he did in the show. The whole thing is just creepy.

Michael: Thanks again for all your wonderful comments.
CLARK: What?! Ralph's is a bad chain?...

I just had an

Is that the gun you were talking about earlier? I was wondering what Chekov was doing in my story.

JIMMY: Really? Do you need a Batman?

CLARK: No.

JIMMY: A Green Lantern?

CLARK: No.

JIMMY: A Robin?

CLARK: No.

JIMMY: A hotdog vendor?

CLARK: No.

JIMMY: A photographer?

CLARK: <<contemplates this for a minute, what Lois would say to that suggestion>>

<<LOIS: No!>>

CLARK: <<frowns>> No.

LOIS: <<Chained up in her copy-cat apartment>> Oh, look, it's the crazy multi-billionaire coming to ravish me again and hope I'll scream with pleasure. How exciting. Please note my sarcasm.

LEX: I have no idea to what you're referring.

Thanks. I have no idea how that got in there.

Yes, I know she's not supposed to say 'yes' to dessert but that's a generic dessert. She's been given a dessert menu, much harder to resist.

Pretty much.

Well, this Clark does like chocolate now, so why hold back?

Dats the one.

CLARK: Is it Margarita time?

Why not? It's what Bill Church, Jr. would do.

JIMMY: But... but... but... I *like* the Kents. They fed me when I was locked in the Sheriff's car.

Yeah, it always has for me too. How about:

or would this...

she saw a corridor with steel plated walls. It reminded her of the inside of an old naval ship.

sound better?

***End of Part 93***
ER: /smacks full force against said steel plated wall/ Owwww

Hope your head feels better.

JIMMY: Cool, is like the force talking to him?

LOIS:

She proposed then, and he accepted. Then there was the night before when he carried her inside her apartment and had a flash back to her canon Wedding to Lex and remembered trying on "Lois Lane Kent" for size, and she said that it felt 'weird'. Clark grumbled something to the effect of "It doesn't sound weird to me." Then there was the faux wedding from HiM. But, yes, none of those discussions were serious.

But after meeting her, and seeing her personality, he might have changed his mind.

LOIS: That hasn't been proven yet.

Well, he's Superman because of his abilities + Clark's goodness + skintight suit, but without the abilities and the suit, he's merely Clark.

Or she's merely proving how much Clark really loves Lois?

CAT: We're not talking about a story, we're talking about Clark's life!

She did stop "dating" him after he shot her.

mrsMxyzptlk: Thanks for the comments.
It's supposed to be creepy (at least in my story). I don't know which emotion they were going for in canon. Romantic? Doubtful. Lex's idea of romance?

Lois isn't Lex's enemy, Superman is. Lois is merely a means to an end... a tool, mind you. It doesn't make her any safer, true, but he's more interested in tricking her away from Superman than trapping her, which he'll only do as a last resort. Of course, the end of the world *could* be considered the last resort...
