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

Such a busy, busy day for Lois, and still so much to do.

Comments greatly appreciated.

Well I will make more comments latter, but for now Lois made it out.

Clark got to talk to Lois.

Lois managed to convince Clark she still loves him.

I can't believe Cat expected her plan to work in any way. No matter what Clark said, Lois was going to come over there to get Cat away.

He is still in denial.

How could he be tempted when he has Lois?

He never forgot about Lois.

Well the first he has reminders of, the second not so much.

Which will cause her to get him to try to expose himself again.

I am surprised he did not call the police himself.

He does not want that kind of help.

he doesn't want Cat.

She is persistent. Although I think for Clark it is getting annoying.

When will she get it?

That seems to be a totally different type of control.

He might not remember much, but he remembers this.

He will recover and save the world.

Does Bruce Wayne?

Somehow I expect Luthor to have ways of telling there is not impact and coming back to the surface afterward. I wish he didn't but I figure he probably does.

I have to say i don't get how Lois accepted marrying him after this interchange in canon. Even if there were a few months in between.

On a totally unrelated note, have we reached a point where we are further into the year than the story is?

Is she being sarcastic here? At first read I was totally lost by that observation, but now I think I see the sarcasm. I am not good at detecting sarcasm.

This is why he built it at the level of 200 people, so he could still have a porper number of minions.

I hope Lois stores the fact that Luthor suspects this in her mind to better evaluate his actions later.

He was operating with 3 people. It made sense to assume that the team of Daitch, Zeitlin and Cosgrove had gotten multiple opinions. Luthors lines here don't really add up.

Because Luthor messed with Daitch's numbers.

I hope Lois does not buy this line. Especially since the claim of an indending impact was made public hours before Daitch even asked Superman to intervene.



Is this line from canon. Hmm. I am surprsied she was not more creeped out there.

Oh yeah, he is creepy. I am also not convinced he really answered her question either. He seems to be more close to answering "why a young, nubile female" without anything indicating Lois in particular.

It would only work if he was bringing lots fewer people, and even then, I don't think so.

Although I don't think Luthor really likes her at all. He is obsessed with the idea of owning her, but has no feeling for her as a real person.

I think that should be "women of the".

On another note, actually she is being naive if she thinks she is the "one" chosen. Somehow despite Luthor's lines I figure he is bringing along other potential "companions".

She won't accept. OK, I never for a moment thought she would. Not since the voyeur was exposed, and even less so since her reaction to Luthor's invitation for weekly dinner. Actually, probably not since he shot her, and it did not look likely even before that.



This makes total sense.

That would be before Luthor even tried any moves on her.

This makes a lot of sense, even without Superman and CK.

Rich guys do not mean marriage unless they say so. OK, there are a few exceptions, the one that comes to mind the fastest is the truly fun 1930s film "Car of Dreams", but there at least the rich guy has the excuse that he is posing as a not rich guy, and even at that he still gets slapped by the girl since she thinks he was trying to make her his mistress.

Marriage is an acknowledgement of equal footing. Even when it does not include one or both parties agreeing to be sexually exclusive.

That still might not properly catch his views.

In the meaning and sense of the word where it is synonymous with servant or slave most likely.

That seems to be his main goal.

He would also probably lie.

This is true, except that "a clear rejection" to Lois might not even count as a rejection at all to Luthor.

Good question. Is he confident enough that SM is dead to let risk taking actions that will make it easy to prosecute him if SM somehow did actually survive and stops the astroid?

I guess this makes sense. She wants to reject him in a way that will not cause him to fear letting her go.

At some level this has to be it. Well sort of. It seems he figures his suave exterior makes it so he can hide any internal oddity.

Should this not seem really odd to her, its not like Luthor ever came in her kitchen.

And when was Luthor ever in her bedroom?

She is seeing the truth.

Somehow it brings to mind "A Doll's House" by Ibsen. Although even there the man has a higher level of respect for his wife than Luthor does for Lois. Not much, but some.

Actually hadn't Clark been torn between it being Luthor and being B-39?

I guess that makes sense. He has clearly done some illegal things. If she leaves quickly he will figure she might have not put two and two together. Although she does have the advantage that he does not know about the changes to her place.

Or he just does not care.

Wow, he really does not want her leaving even a little.

Although would Luthor want others to be able to track his own behavior?

His perpetual refusal to remember Jimmy's name.

Luthor is really getting too cocky for his own good. How would he kniow this? Also he seems to be too confident in the effectveness of his goons. No one ever suspected Clark had "walked out". Lois was posive he was kidnapped, and no one else really gave any reason to doubt.

Point to Lois.

I did wonder how they avoided Clark's return becoming public knowledge.

This is brilliant. Protesting too much might at times be taken as a sign that the person involved doubts the truth of their claim, or that the claim is false. However no one takes it to mean the claim is more true than you say it is. The assumption is if you could disprove with a simple "he did return" you would never say anythign else.

IT might be enough to focus their search. I guess it would not be enough to bring a court case against Luthor for kidnapping Clark, even if his memories fully return.

Shouldn't Luthor not be telling her to leave. I mean he is the mob, and he rules here in the bunker, so is that not mob rule? I hope Clark does not turn the astroid around until there is less than an hour left. That way we will be rid of Luthor for a bit.

This still does not prove CK=SM. Maybe he just keeps SM's clothes for him. Although moving the dresser might prove CK=SM, but the stuff behind it, not really.

This is true on more levels than Clark realizes. Although if he actually followed what the Kents told him, he might sort of realize such.

Or he could crash but not get hurt.

Oh, I see why Cat did not bother with this detail. She has no problem with his clothes burning off.

If I were Clark I would freeze Cat at this point to get some peace and quiet.

Sounds like a result of double expose to red kryptonite as well as green kryptonite. However I am not sure even Clark knows about red kryptonite.

Nope, of the living only Thomas, Martha, Jonathan, Lois, Clark, Luthor, one or two of Luthor's assistants and Wayne Irig have seen it. Oh, and maybe some lab tech in Wichita, hmm, OK that is quite a few people afterall.

I think that should be "wanted to take".

Good he remembers that part, and even better not to tell Cat.

I hope he followed Martha and Jonathan's conversation enough to realize that Cat does not really understand that.

Well except Carlos. And now Henderson.

Actually I think now would be a wonderful time to tell her. Maybe even give her the note to read with him standing by.

Well for the last week or so it has just been they have been too busy and not had the right time. Hopefully he does not put too much credence in Cat's advice.

OK, I mainly want him to tell her before he recovers his memory enough to remember Wells' claim about a curse. Which leads to another question. In canon Wells bothered to get proof that the curse existed, but not here.

Although depending on how the curse works, even if Clark and Lois made love before going on what may have been the real honeymoon that Wells interupted, Wells might not be totally wrong. Technically they it may only apply to consumation of marriage. There was one story where Lois and Clark tell Wells that he is wrong, because they did not wait and his response was that since he still had the "Lois dies" newspaper from the next day evidently it only worked when the actions were after marriage.

I guess even if he does not use the letter, he could ask Martha for the letter to help him make sure he knowns what to say to Lois. Although since he has an eidetic memory, maybe the fact he has heard the whole letter does is enough. He can just think over it again to understand what is up.

Clearly she has not interacted much with Clark in the last week. He could not get away with such claims since just after the bombing. Well, OK, maybe just after the bombing he could still claim such. Just because Lois bought sexy lingerie with the intent of wearing it for him does not mean she loves him. However that night she said the l word to him.

Clark:I can change on my own, thankyou very much Cat. I do not need your help for that.

But what if it is Lois?

I so hope Lois heard that line.

Lois:I just hope Clark was able to resist her moves. I really should have stayed kissing him.

Well, I guess Cat does not know Clark and Lois were kissing so recently. Still, she is introducing way to much information to Clark without any context.

Clark does not think Lois has gone back to Luthor.

The ironic thing is if Cat had paid attention to what Jimmy's actual objective was than she would have a way to maybe convince Lois not to come there. Although even a possible Superman lead would not cause Lois to let Clark stay with Cat in his current condition.

Now Lois is going to think things were worse than they really wore.

Even if he did this, I don't think it would discorage Lois from coming over.

Especially since he may only sort of know what it is.

Actually I am a bit surprised she didn't just call herself his girlfriend. I guess they have not used that term, so she maybe was about to say partner and realized that was not strong enough.

Well, it is not like Clark needs to change his clothes to try to fly.

So what is going to happen? I really am excited for the next part.

Poor guy. No, Clark. All you had to say was that you’ve got a pulse of 60.

She’s naughty!

Is she trying to evoke some form of physical reaction?
LOIS: Oh, she can get her physical reaction, all right.



Must be a coincidence.

CLARK: /adorable shrug/

LEX:

READERS: Oh yes, he is.

Ooooh! She gets to help him change!
CAT: Hey, I’ve got to get *something* out of this gig.

Oh dear. Lois is on the other end of the line and she *heard* this. Cat’s so dead.

Michael

/heads over to part 95/



Hey!

All around a good time. I am really liking Cat in this story. More soon. Laura

It's fun having Cat helping Clark remember. Love her teasing him about Lois.

Joan

John: Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you enjoyed Lois's "escape".

Cat is as persistent as all the other DP reporters.

Technically, Lois isn't there at the moment. Anyway, Cat is only teasing.

She has the world's and Clark's best interests at heart.

Oh, so his memories are returning?

It doesn't matter what color or shape a rabbit is, it's still a rabbit.

Possibly.

The Bat Cave doesn't count?

Yeah, he's sneaky that way.

You and me both.

You mean being that we're into March in RL and the story is still back in February? Yes. I'll post a timeline reminder with tonight's part.

Edit: Sorry, TOMORROW night's part. Kids have off from school tomorrow so it feels like Friday already.



Yep, selling her body for her safety would happen before he even touched her. It isn't worth the price.

That was basically Lois's point.

Men who marry trophy wives don't believe in a marriage of equals either.

Yes, willing slave.

This one would be without her consent.

That too.

LOIS:
LEX: She likes me.

Even if Superman were still around, would he be able to find Lois in a bunker 500 ft below street level?



It does feel odd to her.

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

LOIS: Hello? NEVER!

LEX: I'm confused. What is this "respect" word?

Nope. That was at first. After the discovery of Monique Kahn's body and the cameras in Lois's apartment matching those found at the Carlen Building, which blew up as soon as Superman entered (shortly after SM arrived in Metropolis), Clark has believed it was Luthor.

Scarey thing. Another canon line of dialogue. Why did canon Lois ever *want* to marry this creep?

I bet he has the ability to turn them on and off by remote.

Doesn't matter how many times he lives this life, he still hasn't learned Jimmy name.

Let's see: a) from his DP mole; b) from the person he has following Lois around; c) from inner LNN gossip; or d) from the person who threw Clark into Hob's Bay.

I told you that they spent the afternoon in the sunshine.

CAT: So, did you sleep with Lois, Clark?

CLARK: Sleep? Sure did. We did LOTS of sleeping together. More sleeping than I've been getting lately. I woke up feeling better than any other night since I moved to town.

CAT: <<holds up hand>> Okay. Enough already. I don't need the gruesome details.

CLARK: Always good to hear. Thanks for the comments.

Michael: I'll get back to your FDK once I've done your 92 & 93's FDK. Thanks for being patient with me.

Laura: Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
She's lots of fun.

Joan: Thanks for reading. Cat trying to help Clark get back his memories was a main reason Cat got a large part in this story. When I was first thinking about doing this story, Jonathan Kent was originally killed when he fell off the ladder (and Martha had married the widower Wayne Irig), so I thought about bringing them out from Kansas, but then I decided not to kill of Jonathan, because frankly I like Jonathan. But I couldn't imagine the Kents making the trip to Metropolis if Jonathan was in a wheelchair. So, Clark needed someone in on the secret and who was local to Metropolis (in town), but couldn't be Lois for plot reasons... I was watching what Cat said to Clark during many of her interactions during S1 and saw that much of her dialogue could be used with two meanings... AS IF SHE KNEW.

I meant in the more general sense. I assume Clark does not need Lois to be physically present for her to deter temptation.

Clark:After seeing Lois Cat is no temptation.

Lois:Must disable Lex's exterior cameras before returning to Clark.

And this is why "Wrong Clark" is so much more enjoyable than Season 1. Lois is not perpetually ignoring the bad that Luthor does.

In Luthor's case, realistically, no.

she is not accepting Luthor's lies.

Clark:I will even use my exception strength to free Meena.

Actually the more I think about it, the less I understand why Lois ever dated Luthor after this incident.

Good point, but most people do not ever even debate if they are friends with Luthor.

Lois:And I was so hoping she would be one of the people to go into hiding.

I think so, but maybe I am overconfident in his abilities.

I never understood why either. Something in her brain must have broken when Superman turned her down. That is the only explantion. Or maybe Luthor was drugging her food.

I guess that would make sense for him.

But canon Lois had no clear evidence her apartment had been bugged.

But his aura is the reason his suits are so tight. It is not large enough to protect regular clothing.

I still think she is being overly pushy.

I guess he was not very clear in the note that he had really wanted to tell her.

It might also depend on how creative or sadistic the warlock was. However I think that I will go with the notion that Wells was just trying be discrete. Come to think of it that is the impression from his dialogue, that he is trying to avoid saying "have sex", not that if it meant to be specifically a "consumate the marriage" reference.

So wait, are there parts of the letter we know about that he did not hear?

That is true. It is not his fault that Cat choses such ways to express herself.

Hmm, intriguing. Maybe that is why Scardino did not go away.

Michael: I feel so behind. I've been trying to catch up on my cushion (I'm going to send Part 102 to Beta today. If I don't write 103 in 24 hours, which is doubtful, it will be down to 5 parts again. ), so I apologize for all the delays.

CAT: That's not exactly true. There are plenty of men I have turned down, and will continue to turn down, even if the world DOES end. True, Clark isn't one of them, but <<shrugs>>

Yes, here she is still using her flirty banter with Clark and he has no idea she's just teasing.

CAT: I'm teasing? Oh, right. Of course I am.

CAT: One can always hope. Hey, I'm willing to do anything to Clark to help him recover his memories and save the world.



See!

Possibly.

CAT: See, the ER agrees with me.

CLARK: The *evil* reader. Hello?

Well, I thought it was funny.

Usually. But he's forgotten that move.

Thanks. Fixed.

Maybe if it hit a load bearing wall?

Don't worry, it's only a passing phase with this one.



CLARK: Well, I do. Just not with her.

If he's too modest to change in front of Nurse Michelle, why would he in front of Cat?

CAT:

Bruce has his public one and his private one? I don't know Oliver Queen.

LOIS: It wouldn't be fair to any of the regular people Lex suckered into his bunker to be servants (slaves), but otherwise, I like the idea.

So, Lex isn't smarter than a giant lizard.

LEX: Mrs. Cox! Find the street address of the ER and send him a nice box of arsenic chocolates will you?

LEX: Why is this concept so difficult for some people to understand?

Actually, the smaller Nightfall asteroid is larger than the one estimated to be meteor that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. I just enjoyed Lois making a comment that nobody else seemed to differentiate between the two asteroids during ASU. (Even to the point of calling the larger and smaller asteroids by the same name.)

Patience, grasshopper.

There's only one set of keys, and, lookie there, they're on Lex's keyring. Imagine that!

LEX: The better to watch you, my dear.

LEX: Exactly, perhaps I have photographic memory like your dead friend here.

CLARK: I'm not dead.

LEX:

I don't think that's exactly what Lex said.

Yes, and how well did being empress turn out for the Lois in Bobbart's "The Pub"?

LOIS: Sorry, I don't play that game. How about "Stop"?

LEX: She's *my* kind of woman! Wowza!

Why not?

I love it when he does that.

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

CLARK: Hey, even without my memories, I know the difference between Right and Left.

LOIS: Okay, so where's the phone number of that priest friend of yours?

LOIS: So, he's protecting little fragile ol' me? Gee, how lovely.

Probably best not to dig into walls 500 meters below ground though.

LEX:

Well, the lack of sunlight will destroy the trees needed to make the paper pulp to make the paper on which the newspaper is printed, so...

LOIS: There's a Mob Boss ruling Metropolis? How could I have missed it? No wonder Star thought I was blind.

I'm guessing that neither of them knew about Ellen's philandering?

LOIS: I said "Street". Back alleys aren't streets. Anyway, I have no fear of Ralph, when I'm carrying my gun.

Clearly, there is a story in need of being written.

His imagination isn't what it used to be with his memories.

Not quite.

Bingo!

Check! Check! Check! Check! Yep. He's not a clone.

But that's why we love him.

Saving the world?

CAT: Right. Right. But everyone gets that.

EW: Bragging rights over Lois?

CAT: <<contemplates this option>>

CLARK: But I can't love someone who kills people.

LOIS:

CLARK: Because she gets mad a lot?

Nope.

CLARK: 'Cause she likes meaty bones?

CAT: Who doesn't?

CLARK: Because she likes chewing on bones?

CAT: Perhaps.

LOIS: Because when I get my teeth into something I don't let go?

CLARK: No, that can't be it. Because she wants to have lots of puppies?
