Comments?

I really thought that Clark was going to admit to one or another of his secrets here.

I'm wondering whether Lois will remember Star when she finds out that Clark's excuse to Perry is that she's been consulting a psychic.

Lois isn't going to end up in the loony bin again, is she? I guess this time she has Clark to vouch for her, and it's more common to see a psychic than to legitimately hear voices.

I sort of think Lois should notice it is a fake old western town.

OK, I did not expect this to happen. I had however forgotten that happened on Perry's birthday.

Lois should realize this is a totally un-Supermanish thing to say.

It is sort of sad that Lois did not hear the "might makes right" line. That would have made her even more sure one was an imposter.

Is this because she is now in the rebuilt newsroom?

This should be too odd to process as anything but unreal.

Having the stick in her hands should make it clear this cannot fit with previous memories.

That is what she wants to know.

I wonder if Clark knows enough to know who this person would be. Since he has met Tempus, he should be able to recognize him from a full description, but I guess he was dressed differently so it might be hard.

But he only wonders how Lois got there, not how he did.

This has to be the most terrifying vision Lois has ever had.

Clark is holding her.

Lois is in Clark's arms.

How did she go through all that in a few seconds?

Well, Jimbo being at the planet did not mean this Jimmy was dead.

Lois: they are touching.

This should make her understanding of things very confused. Although the fact she did not see the baby and the kryptonite and the space ship probably undermines her ability to understand. I was so hoping she would see that. It would cause her to understand so much more, although probably cause its own set of confusion.

more touching.

He really does not understand her visions yet.

I really do not see him and true Clark fighting like that. It really would not make sense. It also does not help that Lois and Clark in canon dimension have apparently not told him about clones.

I think I missed some of Lois' thoughts process here.

not telling him all he knows. Lois was in the past when baby Kal-el vanished.

For a given value of "when" maybe, like on the order of many years after that when, maybe, if they could reverse the effects of Tempus removing himself from the time-line.

Which is why he needs to press Wells for more information, since Wells knows when True Clark did disappear.

Of course that is not related to the other event.

Clark is so good at almost being two places at once this should not surprise him.

I wish he had pressed for more description so he would have realized this was Tempus.

at Wells.

Perry:Although this is Lois, so maybe she would want to not tell the father too soon, who knows.

I interested this paragraph to mainly refer to the problem caused by the rise of the Metropolis Star.

A lot more than he even suspects.

Even Laderman being innocent won't be enough to keep her from being prosecuted. Harrison being exposed as the master mind behind "The Ides of Metropolis" and the DA having aided his plan by prosecuting the wrong person and wrong crime might just make the whole thing so embarrassing that they decide to not pursue the matter any more. I wonder if Mayson Drake was on that case.

This is turning into quite an interesting day.

Well, anyway, Lois is not hearing voices. She is just remembering hearing voices in memories that she thinks are dreams or something.

I can see why Clark did not reveal his secrets. Telling distraught, confused Lois things that would make her more confused would not have helped.

Thanks to all my Readers for their Feedback. I haven't had a chance to finish writing Part 125 to keep up my minimum 5 part buffer zone between where I'm writing and where I'm posting. Due to this, Part 120 will post on Tuesday, instead of tonight. I apologize for the delay.

mrsMxyzptlk: Thanks for reading.
*While* Lois is freaking out? If she didn't know, wouldn't it make her freak out more?

Star isn't on the forefront of Lois's current mind. Whether or not she'll be remembered by Lois in the future is something we'll see in time.

LOIS: I am certainly not!

Lois isn't hearing voices this time (for the most part), she's seeing visions (not exactly any more sane, though), but at least she does have Clark to deflect her more insane moments. He kind of understands what's happening to her, more than she does and would never let them drag her off to a looney bin, especially one with Luthor's name on it.

Thank you for your comments.

John: Thanks for such a thorough read through.
Since her focus is more on the supermen than her location, she might not.



She is confused by it.

Since there is no imposter in this story, it would only have led to more confusion.

2 points for John!

The injured Superman said he would be right back and for the 1st Superman to wait for him. It was Lois's opinion that the 1st Superman took her to the DP and then returned to the old west town to meet up with the dying Superman.

I don't know. I think Vatman did a pretty good job of it when he returned to his bedroom to get rid of Leek and the hair sample.

Okay, I reworked the whole scene, so it now takes into account some of your concerns:
I hope that works better for you.

Have to agree with you there.

Which is why she tosses aside this guess for the next one.

About Perry liking her gift, yes I could see Lois bragging about that (it's all about the win).

Not at this time. Sorry.

It's a vision, it's not supposed to make total and complete sense.

The Tempus he met in Tempus Anyone and Lois and Clarks, never dressed in this manner and didn't have a beard. I can't see him recognizing him as Tempus without seeing the person she saw in her vision for himself.

She doesn't know that.

Yes.

She doesn't know about clones.

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK -- Aren't brains amazing organs? Dreams which seem to last forever apparently only take seconds or minutes to create in one's mind.

That's true. She has had visions (back in the Messenger hangar) about Jimmy dying before, though.

Aren't caring friends such a pain?

Episode wresting!

He's less likely to donate a lock of his hair to charity than canon Clark was, since having been outed in his dimension he's a bit more protective of his person.

She missed that part of the flashback.



Clark is more likely to fight someone over Lois's safety than for any other reason. <<MoS aside>>

Caring friend.

But she's better at giving that advice than taking it.



Because Vatman wasn't acting like himself when he picked her up from the DP, he was acting like Superman.

He knows about her mental institution nightmare.

Wells, in his defense, doesn't quite know what's going on with Lois and these visions.

Because it was from the conference room that Dr. Carlin took her into her custody at the mental institution.

Because he wants her to trust him as himself to tell Clark what's going on instead of repeating the same information to Superman and running off; as Clark he can calm her down more quickly (in his opinion).

She too thought he'd change into Superman.

Hope away.

Why not? You change one of the variables maybe the outcome will change.

Currently those aren't his doubts.

Maybe all the puzzle pieces had just fallen into place. Maybe she just learned that Clark was going to die as well as Superman. Maybe she just learned that this was the date it was going to happen. It's possible she knew some of this earlier.

You're right. Fixed.

Yep. Fixed. Thanks.

He's more disappointed than surprised.

CLARK: There really isn't much to tell, except that Cat impersonated her once to a source.

No, here he's referring to way back last summer.

She talked to him as her co-worker, but not any more than that. There wasn't any idle chatter.

I'm trying to show her visions in the light we usually hear and see of psychic visions on TV, where the psychic knows something but doesn't have enough detailed information to really know it.

He is Superman. Also, Superman doesn't "fight" men like Luthor.

LOIS: Of course they were fighting over me. Why else would I be there?

Some of her visions show what might happen (or did happen) in the future, usually an alt-future. But he's confused by what she's saying. He can't understand how there would be two supermen in her vision of her previous timeline, so he's just trying to make sense of it all, and this is what he comes up with.

No, alt-Clark doesn't know about clones. I believe I came up with a good reason for the supermen to battle like this in 'Missing Lois'.

You're not alone.

Yep.

CLARK:



LOIS: Sometimes him not knowing that I know is a pain in the neck.

And this would be bad, why?

PERRY: But she's acting extra crazy lately.

He trusts her but the reassurance of his trust is always a plus.

Actualy, I'm the EW (Evil Writer). ER = Evil Reader.

Yes, thank you. I edited that line shortly before posting for some reason I always add an "e" to grip. It so annoys my Betas. LOL. Fixed.

Couldn't have sex or get pregnant, both work since one leads to the other.



It refers to both the current economic problems with the DP and as well as the current problems with the IoM virus.

LOIS:
PERRY: I don't know anything. Anything at all.

Hmmmmm.

If I'm going to have an neverending day, might as well make it a bizarre one as well.

Technically, Lois did hear Clark's voice at the EPRAD press conference while Clark was MIA.

CLARK:

Yeah, I got points.

That she is actually trying to work out the oddities involved.

I would point out that with SMs apparent speed it might not take that long for him to bring Lois from anywhere. Although I guess we do learn in "Dead Lois Walking" that he can not go as fast with Lois in his arms as otherwise.

I also like the added detail of her thinking he does not know that she knows.

So why assume it all flows in a nice chronology then?

Well, from her description it makes sense he did not recognize him. In theory, if she decribed some other things about him, he might have recognized him, but even then it is hard to say. It is not like she really heard enough of Tempus's speech to convey it to Clark. Also, I guess she can't exactly tell him about the "Duh" factor without revealing she knows CK=SM, which she is not about to do, ever, at the rate she is going.

Well, it was what he asked. "How did you get hear".

That makes sense. Even without the threat of cloning, donating his hair seemed like the last thing a Superman with a secret identity should do. Although I guess Clark keeps his secret by being insanely open about who he is to make people not suspect there is a secret.

Perry:I still like my theory better.

All the more reason I am glad she has a code word with this Superman. Even though I doubt Lex will manage to clone him.

Still he has told Clark less about the matter than he does know. Specifically he has not told Clark that Lois was in the past at the moment true Clark was eliminated.

I guess I had forgotten or missed that she had remembered that incident.

I think it is that he wants to calm her down as Clark, not that it is easier per se. It would make their relationship a lot easier if he just told her he was SM, but I do understand that from what he knows that looks like the worst possible choice right now.

See, it was the best plan, both Lois and I thought of it.

At least he is not noticing the watch.

Actually, it is now up to multiple times.

I guess it mainly worked. Still, it was way more complex than anything here.

Which is the important clue he needs.

Lois just tell him you know already.

Well, in theory he does not want to throw Lois realizing this at her right now when she is so worried about other issues.

Oh, sorry for my mistake. Maybe I should not have read the warnings, then I would be able to figure out if I thought Lois was pregnant here or not. I think I would have guessed no, even though I think they did more in the hospital than she admits. Her visions explain all her actions without needing additional medical causes.

That way they have something to gripe about.

True, they can't get pregnant without having sex. However I was thinking at first he was thinking "Lana is right, I can't impregnate an earth women". Then I realized it was the curse that was preventing him becoming a father, not biology.

I had forgotten about that, it was during last month in story, and posted before Easter. Well, she has not told anyone about that. It is good Clark did not go back to his dimension. I do not think Lois could have survived that, even if he had left after three months.

Of course I think it was always only an academic issue, because I don't think Clark could have survived the return to a Loisless world at any point after meeting this Lois.

She’s either here

or here


Oh.

Duh!

Also, one of them has no performance issues. Although, he might be a bit too fast for her to catch up when the time comes.

LOIS: I will *not* call frog-face my sister. She tried to sleep with you.
CLARK:
LOIS: :rolleyes: Fine. *You* tried to sleep with *her*. Do you really think this helps your point here?
LUCY: I’m between boyfriends…

And now she’s going cookoo again.

They sure like the blue jumpsuits, huh?
TEMPUS: It’s not *my* fault that that’s the only line of men’s clothing available in the future. *Everyone* looks like that boyscout. If you discount the overweight. Ugh. If the dating-aged women would at least dress up as Ultra Woman instead of Lois Lane, but *noooooo*…

SUPERMAN: Hey, I could have come down with a case of green fever and am facing down Luthor. I *could* wield a gun for such a special occasion.

LOIS: Wrong kind of invisibility spell…

Oh boy. So, that’s why she went cookoo?

Maybe she’s pregnant?



Wrong year.

DOC CARLIN: You rang?

So, crazy woman, out on the roof…

Maybe if she fell herself off the roof…?

Yeah, sounds like she’s headed for a 48-hour supervision at the psych ward.

Neither does Lois tell Clark about the probing that’s going on between her and Lex.

What about the telescope Lex has trained on the DP rooftop?

That must mess with this Clark even more than with the other one.
CLARK: He’s back. And his majorly ticked off! I was just borrowing her. I wasn’t going to dent her or anything.

See?

Couldn’t they share her? I mean, it’s not like they could consummate anyway, so he shouldn’t feel too icked out. And that way they could more easily establish a 24-hour watch over her while still assisting the world at large.

Is Clark going to secede when Vatman shows up? Now, that would be evil.

NOR: People disappear when I just look at them, too.

Virignia? Oh dear.

Is it really productive to try and find reason in the hallucinogenic ramblings of a madwoman?

Superman, he’s not just for women anymore.

CHING: /raises gun to head/

TEMPUS: /makes note: Re-enact Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom/

Now, that’s a dangerous promise. The number of times Lois gets mad, she might kick him out one too many times. He might not come back.


CLARK:

I think you missed a ‘1’ there…

The person with the most points at the end of this story gets a sneak peak at the prologue/Part 1 of Book 3. Although, that's also a perk of being a beta.

LOIS: You mean visions don't mean anything? They're like delusions?

But he can fly her fast enough to take her to Thailand for dinner.

Well, I've got to keep reminding my Readers in case they've gotten distracted in the last 20 parts or so.

Me or Lois?

Exactly.

So, she's supposed to catch that nuance right off the bat every time?

Also the early nineties is the beginning of DNA testing, so he might know they can do that.

True, but Wells doesn't like people to know too much about their future and/or their past.

It's a good thing that the EW *never* lies to her readers to throw them off track.

LOIS: Gee, thanks.

Darth Michael:

Nobody told him that LL=UW, have they?

LOIS: What happened to "thou shall not kill"?
SUPERMAN: That only applies to good guys, innocent victims, and the woman you love.
CANON CLARK:

HERMIONE: Yep, the Hogwarts of the America is a total party school. She's even more of a muggle than I am... was.

That might have had something to do with it.



ARI: Wait! That's one of the bimbos my husband is dating.
LOIS: Bimbo?... One of?... Wait. Who's your husband?
LEX: Did I mention that she's bonkers?
CLARK: Well, she did marry you, didn't she?

But... but... that's like a bat signal for Superman.

HAL: I was just passing through this quadrant on the way to check out the Martian colonies.
BATMAN: I had a date.

LEX: I'm supervisor.

LOIS: I'm probing his *mind*.
CLARK: I know. Otherwise you'd be dead.
LOIS: Are you threatening me, Kent?
CLARK: /holds up hands in self defense/ No, no. I mean, because of the numerous STDs he has.

LEX:

CAT: Don't worry, she hasn't told me anything either, so nothing must have happened between her and Lex. Then again, she has refused to tell me about Clark too.

Good thing Clark got her off the roof then.

CLARK: /scoffs/ We're not teenagers, and we both have apartments with beds.

PERRY: Like I'd tell those beancounters anything.

CLARK: In my defense, you pseudo daughter is really hot, Mr. White.

Why would Dan visit Clark if Lois was avoiding him?

Thanks, fixed. Must have been wishful thinking.

CloneClark with teenage-boy-syndrome :p





Is that a wise question to ask a psychopathic warmonger?

TEMPUS:

LOIS: Oooo! /swoons/ Jimmy!

Maybe he should sue?

To be fair, he stayed with Lana for years and she’s a frigid ice queen compared to Lois. Or is that Lois is a Cat in heat compared to Lana?

/thinks the narrator is really quite unreliable indeed/

To be fair, when you have a Lois and Clark in any sort of compromising position, people naturally assume that she’s pregnant. It’s like those movies, when the teen girl has had sex, she’s going to die a horrible, bloody death. So, the greater surprise will be if she’s not pregnant. But will you then do a flippety-flip and make her pregnant after all?

Reasons why Lex Luthor ends up as Haggis on the plaza in front of Lex Tower.

Well, usually nicknames aren’t recycled that closely together. Plus, it would cause an awful lot of sibling rivalry and competition.



Her getting pregnant?



Much less fun that way when he’s explaining himself to Perry.

I don’t think he’s helping his point any.

/points up to quote/

Michael

Maybe it was an all day date, and they stopped in Hawaii for lunch and in Los Angeles for a midnight snack on the way back.

It is part of the large body of extra things mentioned briefly in the show, that really have not been fleshed out much in fan-fiction. About all that has been that I can think of is the date after "Individual Responsibility" and the Christmas portion of Season 1. Here in "Wrong Clark" we also got the true story of why Lois went to the Honey-moon suite, not the one she told her colleges.

Read- he manipulates people by controlling what they know.
