Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Wrong Clark (135/???)

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

In the Archive version, the italicized sections will be sprinkled throughout the last thirty-five parts, making this chapter only the non-italicized sections and it will be much shorter before we return to our main characters. I promise I'll post Part 136, returning us to previously introduced characters as soon as I finish writing Part 141.

Now that September is peering over the horizon at me, I'll probably need to start seriously looking for some kind of employment outside the home, especially now that my youngest is heading off to Kindergarten in a couple of weeks. I apologize that my posting schedule in the last month has been quite spotty and it would probably be best if I tone it down to only one post per week for the foreseeable future. I'll miss reading all the new gems of wisdom those who comment on my stories give me (twice a week), but perhaps I'll be able to work up on building my cushion, so I don't miss any more postings, and we won't end up with any more crazy parts that don't include mention Lois Lane or Clark Kent.

Thank you for your patience, and I'll appreciate any comments that you would like to share. Thank you for your continued reading.

Wow, you managed to go a whole part with zero mentions of either Lois Lane or Clark Kent.

I guess we did get mentions of Superman, so some would argue that it almost counts as a mention of Clark. but not really.

This is probably the first part where either Clark or Lois were not at least mentioned. Even the part where we got the whole backstory of Clark's relations with both Lana and Rachel at least made mention of Clark, and the Clark-free parts have at least mentioned him as well. I think we have always in the past seen one of them.

On the other hand, this part has made me for the first time want Kirk to live. Before he would have just been another death with little impact. Now, I don't want Luthor to manage to kill him.

I am even rooting for Kirk and Mona, although I have to admit it seems a long shot. Still, I would much rather see Mona with Kirk than seduced by Luthor.

I also for the first time have a better understanding of why only Kirk is questioning the reality of the situation. These are people who have been helped by Luthor's philanthropy.

KIRK: Are you certain this is the emergency stairwell, Mr. St. John? The sign says ‘Trash Compactor’.

Isn’t he adorable? Almost as naive as Lois.

*Fresh* food! *Healthy* food!
MORLOCK 3: /swings bat at M1 and M2/ *My* food!

Translation: He hopes to score with the scantly glad but very attractive cave girls who survived topside.

ASABI: No, Mr. Luthor. It says right here, Madame Blavatsky, Astrologer.

BRUCE WAYNE: What? *What*?

Private greenhouse on the other side of the Luthaille? Right next to the concubine living quarters.

He does realize that they tried and convicted Marcus Antonius based on his will, right? And with the type of treasonous remarks he’s putting down in his own handwriting, that’s not going to end well for our Red Shirt.

What about replicated food?

Lex must be a really old dude.

Michael

Completely love this part. Kirk is great, too naive but a lot of fun! A trekkie, that's so cool!
I love the reference to the ... BORG collective!
I really hope he is not a red shirt, because if so, he got not much more time left XD

@Darth Michael: I love you intrepretation of NimoySpock and QuintoSpock, so true!!

Well good luck for the job and keep going, I have a lot of fun with your story. Nice version of Lois and Clark. And it is nice to see Cat with a brain and a good sense of humour. : )

Thank you all for your comments. I'll respond as soon as I finish playing catch up. RL bashed me over the head again this week, sending my 10 y.o. cat into emergency surgery today due to no longer eating or being able to keep anything down over the holiday weekend. Add on top of that the beginning of school and you'll understand why I'm looking like and am REALLY far behind on my writing. My cat's surgery went well, but she had a stomach tumor, which I know now means a long recovery.

I'll try to post Part 136 tomorrow, even though I'm only 5 pages into Part 141. Hopefully, with my son in school full day next week, I'll be able to finish two parts before I need to post 137. I'm supposed to be catching up, not falling further behind, on this new schedule.

Thank you all for your continued Readership and patience.

John:Thank you for commenting on my non-Lois and Clark part.
Yeah, I know. I got this terrific idea and ran it by one of my betas who loved it. Unfortunately, when I'm down to a 5 part cushion, I can't run back and add in these extra Diary entries in context. I'll put them in the right spot for the Archive version and that will cut down this non-LnC section considerably.

CLARK: It only counts if they know CK=SM
LOIS: I'll count it.

Don't worry. This was a one-time deal. I felt bad for the people stuck in the bunker and the Readers only having Dr. Muldoon as their only representation. This was my solution to that problem. And you know me, when an idea strikes, I tend to go into WAY too much detail.

Kirk got a lurker to comment! Thanks for stopping by.

Not being a die-hard Trekkie, and only having watches drips and drabs of the ST:NG, I hope I did a fair impersonation of one. Q and the Borg were some of my favorite plot lines. I have to say Kirk was inspired a tiny bit by my love of the guys on the "Big Bang Theory".

Thank you. I'm so happy you like my Lois and Clark despite me keeping them apart so much recently. I don't plan on stopping until I get this done. I hate not completing things, and having Readers inspires me to finish for them. Anyway, the ending I have planned makes me want to keep on writing, so I can get to it and flesh it out.

Darth Michael: Yea! Someone else really liked this non-LnC part!
NIGEL: That's just misdirection, Mr. Devlin, so that nobody will try to escape... er... break in. It also has a heater to keep the tunnel warm. Don't mind the recyclables in there. Watch your step. Don't mind me, I'm just going to shut this door, so nobody from outside will find you... us.

KIRK: Why, Mr. Luthor, what big bank accounts you have.

Maybe not a "hard-core nerd Trekkie" being that he got the Star Date wrong.

Perhaps the escorts share a room.
LEX: Escorts? No. No. No. Women are only allowed to service me. Nigel, I'm sure I had that in the fine print of their contracts, didn't I?

To punch holes in your theory? A red herring? New love interest for Brenda Muldoon?

NIGEL: Sir, I have selected the first candidate for the vitamin regime.
LEX: Why? Is his family topside looking for him?
NIGEL: No, they're celebrating the fact that he's disappeared. It isn't that, sir, but he considers himself to have a higher intellect than you.
LEX: We can't have that. Start him up!
SHELDON: I don't need vitamins. The diet here is full of nutrients and fiber. But Mr. Luthor and Mr. St. John have been looking sickly lately, I'll slip these into their milk glasses at the next meeting of the L.U.C. and see if that doesn't perk them right up. They probably haven't been eating enough fiber.

Give him time.
KIRK:

Yes, on the loner. He's smart but not top echelon smart, plus he's not one to put himself forward or get lucky breaks.

KIRK: It developed about the time I moved underground. Duh!

That's the general idea.

HERB WELLS: Those people only ruin society. Yes, that was one of the terrific things about the Utopia that Superman's descendants will lead... inspire. It's a traditional barter society with no laws or money. The supers are the only police force the world needs.

To keep your 20-somethings from going insane?

LEX: With me as Emperor.

My guess, and I'm not astronomer or physicist, but if they knew how far out Nightfall Minor was and it's speed and trajectory, wouldn't it be simple math to figure out how long and where it would strike?
LOIS:

KIRK: But this is *private.*
Dr. M: There is no privacy in the L.U.C.
LEX: Yes, I get to watch whatever's happening in the sex room.
DR. M: So, do I.
LEX: /turns on video feed and grabs bowl of popcorn/ Wait. That room looks familiar. They're using Lois's apartment! No, no, no! This is unacceptable. I built that for her prison... quarters.

I'm thinking maybe there's a burning building and Superman flies off with the entire roof of survivors who couldn't get down the emergency stairs due to fires below them?
CLARK: That's possible.

CAT: What do you mean there aren't even 100 men down here? I can't live on a hundred men for 3 years. 100 men won't even last me six months. And that's if I do them each at least twice. How boring!
LINDA: Well, as long as I get perks for putting out...
LUCY: Are any of the guys cute? Or they just old like Luthor and St. John?
LOIS: OCTOPUS!!!!!

No. Just unlucky in love and a bit shy.

KIRK: But this is the color my class was issued! It's not my fault! I didn't sign up to be a red-shirt! Get me out of here!

LEX: I'm in a class of my own.

Possibly.

Because canon Lois would choose Lex over Clark?

NIGEL: Yes, we did word that vaguely, didn't we?

LEX-C: No, it wasn't 'tiny-wee-bit of an ouchy'! It was a big whole huge bit of an ouchy, thank you very much! And it still hurts. I want my mommy!
ASABI: :rolleyes: You have no mother.
LEX-C: Then can you take me back to Lois?
ASABI: Trust me on this, Lex-C. You'd be better off dealing with Mr. St. John than having Ms. Lane mother you.

He's not alone. Nigel's still there, guarding... er... keeping him company.



Maybe if I ever turn this trapped in the L.U.C. story into a stand-alone, I'll make it accurate. It was done this way to make the non-Hard-Core Trekkie Readers understand the passage of time.

I'm glad you enjoyed, but it was a little dry on LnC for others.

Oh, good, so you aren't expecting Lois or Clark in the next part.

Lois *can* get a bit bothersome.
LOIS:
ER: See? She all hot and bothered, again.
LOIS: Michael

Um.... I wouldn't say that.
Exactly.
CLARK: That's what comes from spending too much time with Lex Luthor. Oh, wait, what?
HERB: /scratches another Lois off his list/ Well, shall we try another dimension?

Actually, that makes sense... from a certain POV.

I never said it would.

The ripest fruit is always worth the extra effort it takes to bring it to a new society?

KIRK: You don't have a food replicator? What have I signed on for? I thought this was futuristic society. I want out!

CANON LOIS: How did I know someone would bring that up?

No, because she doesn't seem like the nurturing type.
LOIS: Oh, now that's just a low blow.

Seriously? It's been a while since I watched NCIS. I always thought those discussions were done tongue in cheek with Abby ending up saying something like "Now, that we've stated the obvious, can we get to work?" /Also, isn't that what's Tony is for? Stating the obvious computer stuff to?/

CLARK: /stretching out/ Come on, Lois. It's not like we ever get a real vacation in these stories.

Michael

DR. KIRK DEVLIN /Lucky Physicist/: None of them were physicists, now were they? No. They were doctors, and farmers, and hair dressers, and such. :rolleyes:



CLARK: No, those we get and, strangely enough, on a semi-regular basis. That's not to say I'm knocking them, I'm not... really, and truly, actually, I think we're due another one or ten....
LOIS: Ramble much?
CLARK: What I mean is a honest and true vacation from *appearing* in L&C stories.
LOIS: What would be the point of that?
CLARK: /points to Hawaiian vacation island/ I'm still fast. We can still take that vacation, only without the Readers watching our every move.

They do? Hey!

I think Lois as the rights of it. You need to keep your audience entertained or they go and buy the Met Star instead. Or the Whisper.

Michael

Well, let's see. I sent them on a Honeymoon in Niagara Falls a couple of years ago, and Sue S. has been trying to get them to finish their Second Honeymoon (although not recently) in Metropolis. KatherineKent not only sent them to Florida, but also had them Practically Married in Metropolis. NostogliaKick sent them to the beach. RodStewFan had them practically on holiday after marriage in several fics as they redecorated them home. Queen of Capes had them vacationing in alt-dimensions while married, same with Bakasi. Do any of those count?

What? Romantic, clothing optional holidays aren't allowed to happen off-page?

I was talking about *this* story…

It leads to too many rumors about Lex having knocked up Lois instead of Clark.

Michael

Oh. Was that a requirement? Did I say that there would be a wedding in this story?

LEX: Hello? Duh! Lois and I are getting married, or hooking up. One of the two.

CLARK: But... but... but he wasn't even *there*!
LEX: That's what he thought.
