Hope you were surprised?

Was I surprised? What do you think?

I've been reading this, not posted any comments before as I've only recently registered for the boards, but believe me I have been hooked from the very first word.

Firstly, Lois and her 'knowledge'. As of the previous chapter I kind of came to the conclusion that she didn't know, even though it seemed like she was calling him Clark. I wasn't sure what was going on in her mind instead though. Then came the kiss, and the comment “You’re right, Superman, one kiss changes everything.” At this point I knew she'd figured it out. So, Clark's presumption that she knew actually ended up being true.

I came to this chapter with such great excitement. It turns out I was right!!! Although I'm upset that Lois thinks Clark cheated. IT'S NOT TRUE. And now poor Lois is convinced she (effectively) cheated on Clark and feels bad about it. THAT'S NOT TRUE EITHER. I hope Clark gets back soon and they have a serious and wonderful talk.

Now the real surprise ... Perry. You nailed that so well. Lois's thoughts on spilling the secret within just 15 minutes were great. Perry's reaction to 'almost' knowing the truth. I must say that I love this development, but it truly was a surprise.

Final comment: Love the fact that a kiss gave it all away. Kind of remindes me of *covers mouth*. Some readers will know exactly what I'm talking about.

"She had just cheated on her boyfriend...with her boyfriend."

Ah the triangle!!! How I've missed it in thecomics. THis is where things are rather interesting in this pairing and what makes the idea she knows fun to play with.

I don't thnk you need to worry about things, Lois. It seems Like Clark/Suoerman may already figured out y know (although the exact timing on that knowledge is a little off.).
The positive thing about his perception of the timing is hat he doesn't KNOW you cheated on him with him (again,. The fun to write/read but a mess to be a part of triangle of two.)

Wow, the fact that Ckark doesn't have the official connection if family really DOES affect how Lois sees him. .

I think the first "them" is not needed.

I guess I understand why Cat went, but is does make things difficult for Clark.

Which is why she should not suspect they have done anything. I guess though she has not seen Clark's refusals of anything with Cat the way we have.

Maybe he is just trying something new.

He still remembers her, she should not doubt him.

She should be paying attention to the clues.

It is how true Clark touched her.

they are embracing.

she still belives in him.

She really needs to learn the truth.

Well, I guess this will make it slightly easier in some ways when she learns the truth.

Another clue.

She should see he loves only her.

He should have told her Cat was there. She was bound to figure it out, and would assume the worse more if he did not tell her.

He should have known Lois would have noticed Cat even if she did not say anything.

I knew Cat's presence would cause problems.

Well, if he had told her would she have believed his claims that nothing happened?

Hopefully he can convince her that was not his goal. He might have to mention the intruder though.

Hopefully she can be convinced that this is no more true now then it was in the past.

So she did notice the missing shoes.

Yet he was kissing and caressing her, not Cat. I guess it sort of makes sense she sees it that way. I guess after her father it is hard to truly trust men.

Maybe she needs to realize if it does not add up, she is missing something.

I hope Calrk can convince her she is wrong about him and Cat.

So she does not suspect CK=SM at all. He maybe should have let her say more.

that she still thinks Clark would ever sleep with Cat.

This is a major jump even for her. She has said nothing of Clark "betraying" and yet she thinks he knows.

Shouldn't she realize he is holding her differently?

Oddly enough, he had been doing it to outmanouver her.

So Clark was right he was shooting himself in the foot in his chances with her as himself.

she understands why SM did what he did, even if she does not know everything yet.

she has given up on Clark. I guess if he had slept with Cat I would not blame her, but since his real goal was to go stop Nightfall, and since she was getting abducted, I think he can explain this. I wish he had not left Lois though. He should have realized she was more hurt than she let on.

She really has it much rouger than Cat. Cat may complain, but at least she knows SM is alive.

Clark:If I knew it would be this easy when Lois learned I was SM, I would have told her ages ago.

How can she say that when she still thinks Clark cheated on her?

she has hope.

more kissing.
.

she still wants Clark. Now he just has to convince her that he and Cat were not doing what she thought. Ever. In any way.

Fortunantly for Lois she can have her hearts desire in all cases.

Sadly for her father though Mrs. Del Campo was not Ellen in disguise.

At least she recognizes she has no evidence agaisnt Clark that proves anythign.

Which was probably unwise. However, considering how much he did not want to deal with them fighting I can hardly blame him.

Actually technically it is the same man.

I am surprised she did not notice this before.

He doesn't remember why. Plus he thinks the reason why is gone. He might have a clue as to why, but he does not remember that detail.

Good question. I like that she is noticing how alike the kisses are. In canon that always seemed odd that she didn't notice anything, especially since it was a touch that eventually clued her in. Especially since during the heat incident he touched her in the exact, once as SM and once as CK, about as far apart as he did when she finally clues in.

she is figuring it out.

Hopefully she is also realizing that Clark did not run off to be with Cat the way she thought he was. Although I really am confused why he ran back to his aparetment at all. Oh right, he needed to get the boots.

Finally!!

I was afraid you were going to take us down another turn.

Can't wait to see how this works out.

Joan

I knew really noticing the mole would destroy Superman's secret. I guess making sure people don't look at his face was crucial.

she knows.

she still loves him. ALthough she might still be mad about Cat. Hmm.

He does need to tell her more. Not that he really knows much more.

Except that there are lots of things she does not know. Also, some things she does know will not really add up.

that they did not talk more know. I guess that is why you had the intruder. Otherwise Clark would just need to stop Nightfall, and that would leave him a little more time to talk to her.

I guess explaning that an intruder had tried to kill Cat and then jumped from the apartment and he needs to report it to Henderson would be a bit much at this point.

Why bother asking, the last time he trusted she was alright, he clearly made the wrong decision.

I guess it makes sense this still hurts her.

Well, that is because he sees himself as first and foremost Clark. Hopefully he will be able to convince her that he is Clark first.

Now she knows why.

I wish she had said Clark here. However, I guess she does not yet realize that Clark is who he is, Superman is what he can do. Also, it would have made it too clear to use she knew what was up.

Which makes no sense. Especially since he thought she knew it was him. They really do need to talk. However, I guess stopping Nightfall comes first.

And yet at another level it means that she has not even been tempted to cheat on her man since she first met him. She has never even been close to cheating.

But he had no clue she did not know it was him.

I am glad she now thinks of it as a supposed betrayal.

I guess this is true. Although not in the way she thinks. Hopefully his memory of the boat and being underwater returns soon, so they are not over scared.

He probably still has some kryptonite.

Actually, with SM it is the other way around. His interest in her is caused by his perception she has a connection with SM.

She might be right.

Hopefully she no longer thinks Clark was cheating on her.

His fear of discorvery caused him to hide them, but without his memory he lacked a deep seated fear.

Except this time she is not afraid Superman is dead.

Much faster to hear her scream than if he had been elsewhere.

And the logistics of SM catching both of them had not bothered her?

So that was Ralph.

So did he manage to extort the money from Clark?

So she realizes he does not have all his memory back, or she is just angry?

I guess he did not get the money.

Clark:See coming up with excuses is harder than people think.

Well it is true. It was very important to.

Ralph really rubs me the wrong way. Lacking memories and being "brainless" are not the same thing. His willingness to exploit people's weaknesses makes him a really unliable character. I guess though that is the whole point of him, we are not supposed to like him, at all, ever, in any way.

Not at all. She is not responsible for Luthor being so disturbed, in any way.

she accepts the truth about Luthor.

That is the truly difficult part.

At least she does not assume she knows the full truth.

Of course she is wrong. He may or may not be able to convince her that he is really Clark with his current memories.

A baby from Krypton.

she realizes Superman is not truly who he is.

True, but in some ways that means it has more meaning.

Clark:Clark Jerome Kent.

Lois:How?

Clark:This will take a lot of explaining, and I really don't remember much of it. Some of it makes no sense, like how you made the Superman suit and yet did not know I was Superman.

Lois:I did not make the Superman suit.

Clark:Sure you did, back when you had shorter hair.

Lois:

Clark:I don't really understand either. By the way, did I help you move?

Lois: I havn't moved since before we met.

Clark:But I rmeember you living in a different place. Oh, this is so confusing.

[Quote}"I'm a horrible person[/Quote]

I think she is being way to hard on herself. Clark would never see her actions as cheating, and if he doesn't, then how can they be?

Destroying a man's ability to live a normal life is not a good reporters job.

No, her heart just sees what her mind misses.

She has seen through Luthor. Maybe not as quick as some, but sonner than most.

But she saw the truth about Clark now.

Lois:Some of it I learned last night.

Actually, she is still not one of the people who knows the full truth. Well, she has been told most of it, but has not pieced it together.

Words sure to cause him to press for more information.

The surest way to destroy a cover is to reveal it exists to begin with.

Clearly Perry does not know if he is worried. Well, unless he knows a lot, hmm.

At least she no longer thinks he cheated on her. Still I don't think she is right she cheated on him. I think in her heart she knew the truth.

So now Perry knows he has a secret identity.

Waht Cat claims and the truth are not always the same.

And Cat uses one for the other. She also sues aggresive hinting to smoke out information.

she still gets negative impact from Tempus after he erased himself from time.

Just Cat, and Martha, and Jonathan, and Henderson and Carlos. Although She does not know Carlos, and Martha and Jonathan knew the truth about baby Clark to help them.

At least she recognizes there are still important things she does not know.

Actually he is, just a different Kansas.

Not really, he did not know there was a Clark Kent to steal the identity of.

At least she accepts she does not know the full truth.

So much for her claim she is such a better liar than Clark.

Well, maybe at some level it is why he did not tell her without plenty of time to explain.

He needs to not know it.

This is not really a convincing explanation.

Lois:No. Trask was totally wrong in thinking I had a romantic relationship with Superman.

Clark:Our kissing has not been sufficient. I think we should do some more before talking.

At least now Perry knows why she thinks she knows.

Actually it sounds like a complete lie. However it is probably better than bringing up she thought Clark was cheating with Cat.

Lois:But I want to know.

Oh, he wants to be left in the dark. Makes sense. The fewer people who know, the safer the secret is.

Hmm, and will she be able to keep this secret?

At first I thought she meant her and Superman. On second reading I say she is denying having talked to Perry.

That at least is true.

It avoids unwanted conversations.

Well, I am glad Lois knows. I am hoping she gets to talk with Clark about all this soon.

The key was really the kiss. Finally!

The problem is that within 15 minutes she did spill the beans to Perry. Way to go Lois.

And now we’ll see who was right

Wait, does that mean that Cat’s Superman’s alter ego?

So, how often did you have to check the correct casing of the cats in these parts? Also, typo in ‘occurring’.



Maybe she shouldn’t tell him. He doesn’t take it too well.

Actually, Superman could, too. Provided he can float perfectly in place while holding a high-powered sniper rifle.

Huh, half time of the part and bed time, too! Michael

Ah, this chapter was great!

I don't know which part was my favorite. Maybe when Lois compared Superman to a marshmallow or her yelling at Ralph. No, no, it was when she FINALLY figured it out! But then I also liked when she spilled it to Perry...

Oh, I don't know! I liked all of it!

Superman had just pulled her pants down.

Option for sex on the ceiling.



Date call-me-Danielle(sic)?

Oh dear. She’s finally going mad.

See? See? /points to earlier FDK/



To be fair, she is exceptionally focused on the male anatomy.

Not yet.

RALPH: It wasn’t me! Just tell Kent that it wasn’t me. That smell ain’t not me, either. I’m leaving now. I hear they need a new reporter on the Aleutians.

She could always try to use a knife on him. Although if she uses the brand new kitchen knife and he tries to convince her to put it down, that might not actually constitute actual proof.

The nice, state-sponsored thug in a major’s uniform thinks differently.

Nooooo. He’s not got the cleavage for it. Although, putting him in a place where he can get ‘close’ to the DP’s leading lady might be a wise move. And if they do it right, he might not just get the scoop but destroy her in the process, too.

MAYSON:

/points at Lex/

:rolleyes: Just tell him the truth. He’s the last son of a royal house that has come extinct in some unfortunate events back home and now he’s here incognito.

/waits for her to get mad all over again over the Met Sew Rec Fac incident/ After all, he did pull her out as Superman after ‘putting her there as Clark’.

LOIS: Michael

Wonderful! I loved this part! Woo hoo! more soon. Laura

Why can't Lois keep her mouth shut? And why couldn't she claim she was upset about some personal problem and refuse to discuss it with Perry? Of course, Perry is irritatingly persistent about wanting her to divulge what's bugging her, even though it's none of his business. I guess since he is one of Lois's few confidants, if not the only one, he seems to think he is entitled to know everything that goes on with her.

One thing I wondered was why does Lois assume that Cat knows that Clark is Superman? I didn't notice anything that would reasonably imply that, unless Lois assumes, correctly, that that is why Cat has been at Clark's apartment. Though I like that she thinks Cat figured it out, rather than assuming that Clark told Cat.

I think you wanted to say "worst mistake of her life".

KatherineKent: Hi! And welcome to my story.
Enough to delurk. So, probably?

Thanks. Always good to hear.

But not when he thought she did.

Lois hadn't had time to process the information and this was the first conclusion she had jumped to. Once she calmed down (thank you, Superman), she realized Clark would never do that.

If you think about it in the manner that if she HADN'T figured out the secret at that point and time, and still thought that Clark and Superman were two men (or if they were really two separate people)... then she would've considered the kiss as cheating. At the point when she had kissed Superman she thought they were two people, so that's why she's feeling guilty, because she believes that she's capible of cheating on Clark.

Um... you *have* been reading my story, right?

Yeah, that was the surprise I was talking about.

Where Lois covers her mouth and gasps in "And the Answer is..."?

Thanks for reading. Welcome, again, to the boards!

Thank you all for your comments.

Christina: How did I know you'd appreciate this turn in the triangle? Hi! Glad to see you're still reading.

Thank you.



Well, gee, golly, shucks. Thanks.


Laura: Thanks for reading and commenting.

Thanks.


mrsMxyzptlk: Hmmmmm. Are you one of those people who enjoys twists and turns in stories better if the next part is available to read already?

Um... she did.

Perry was only trying to help.

Lois will address her thinking on this a bit in 99 and more in Part 100. Basically it was Cat's comment on Clark's mole which clued Lois in. There are two ways to consider Clark's friendship to Cat (in Lois's opinion): A) Either they're having sex and he's been lying this whole time, or B) the reason Clark is friends with Cat is because she knows his secret and he has no choice in the matter. (a-ha! Suddenly, why they are friends makes sense to Lois.)

LOIS: Well, if he had *told* Cat, instead of her figuring it out on her own, then I would just have to kill him.

John: Thanks for the long FDK. Sorry about the delayed response. Life's crazy this week.
Thanks. Fixed.

And who's fault is that? Cat's? Nope. Clark's!

Nope. Cat is smart enough not to make such an obvious move while Lois is there.

Perhaps.

Yes, all those clues are starting to pile up, they could almost knock her over now.



I'll put it on my to-do list.

He was thinking of a way to tell her, when he got distracted by his Superman memories.

Clark with full memories would know, but this guy doesn't have full memories yet.

That's part of her fun. Lois's assumptions.

LOIS: We'll never know now, will we?

It depends on how much time passes before he sees and talks with her again.

One is more likely to jump to wrong conclusions when faced with new information. After she has had time to think about things, she'll be able to think more clearly.

In too much pain to think clearly.

We'll have to see.

She's too distraught to talk.

Well, Clark has had his DNA reset with the amnesia and (in Lois's opinion) a man doesn't think with his head.

Well, she's not far from Clark's apartment, it is possible that Superman had stopped there first and saw Cat and Clark together... and went to find Lois to comfort her.

Actually, when he took her up into the clouds initially, he held her like this (like he does in WhaLtTA).



Possibly.

She figured this out before his press conference at STAR Labs.

She was abducted? Amnesiac Clark didn't know. Full Brained Clark would have known better.

True.

You go right on thinking that Clark.

She's not thinking about Clark at the moment.

Hope of her chances with Superman, not Clark.

Talking was never their strong point.

That would have been a funny twist on canon.

She just needed some time for the shock to wear off.

She doesn't know that.

She wasn't thinking about Superman.



Of course, the two times she really kissed Superman (after PML and pre-Nightfall mission) Lois was a bit distracted and wasn't thinking of Clark at the time.

She already figured that point out. Yes, he had to get his boots, and he wanted to let Cat know that he had his memories, and to thank her for her assistance, before heading off to stop Nightfall.
