Darth Michael: Thank you for your patience. I’m almost caught up!
Well, with FDK, that is.
ER: /Thinks that Clark should go for it!/
CLARK: If I *wanted* to see her naked, I’d watch her with my x-ray vision while she’s taking a shower.
LOIS: /doesn’t like this answer/
Actually, Lois understands what most women do. The more a man watches from afar, the more up-close he’ll want to get.
*Now* she’s for equal opportunities?
She’s always been for equality, as long as anyone else is more than equal to her. If she’s the one who is more than equal that’s another thing entirely.
LOIS: That's equality!
And his point being?
LOIS: /huh/
CLARK: If I distract Lois long enough, she’ll forget what we’re talking about.
LOIS: So, why haven’t you lost your shirt already?
To quote the EW about Lois when she first saw Clark in spandex: /she drooled enough for three women/
Yes, but Lois would never admit to that.
Clark closed his eyes and whispered the word, “Please.”
Lois dropped her hand and returned it back to its previous position under her jaw. “Then, again, who am I to refuse a free back massage?”
ER: /passes out from the shock that Lois gave up so easily/
The war isn’t over, Michael.
There’s something missing there. ‘in the’ or the likes…
Last minute edits. My bad. Thanks.
Because Lois would take it as an invitation?
CLARK: Lois. Yes. Let’s stick with that one.
Well, it’s just another way to prove to Clark how unlike Lana Lois is.
Lois opened her eyes and turned her head to look at him, hovering undecidedly above her.
I do have an idea.
You think she should roll over?
Seat? Does she mean…/points at above idea/
Her bottom? Um… ooops. I thought you meant lap.
ER: /picturing something a little more NFIC/
I meant his torso.
Awww…he’s boring her to death
Relaxing her.
LOIS: To death.
CLARK: That’s what I’m afraid of.
LOIS: The ‘death do us part’ section? I thought that was just me.
At least that’s what the *other* Lois said?
Would she have been able to sell them to him otherwise?
Maybe the Daily Planet could call attention to Superman’s shorts in each of the articles they write about him?
PERRY: Kent, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about your sudden obsession with Superman’s uniform and how you’re constantly mentioning his… uh… crotch in your articles.
Unfortunately, he’d rather sleep with Cat than have his way with Lois.
CAT: Unfortunately?! Oh, right. I’m out of commission right now.

PHIL: And married.
CAT: That too.
TEMPUS: /excited that Lois is finally exploring the Sleeper / Barbarella futuristic sex method./
CLARK: Hey, if it means she doesn’t die, I’m willing to make that sacrifice.
CLARK: Thanks, Michael. That was just what I needed.
LOIS: Thanks, Michael. You’ve broken him for good now.
CLARK: What? She wanted them to…well…
Be warm?
And his body believes that that’s a *bad* idea?
Bodies don’t usually think logically when they’re turned on, only instinctually.
LOIS: Wait, so his body’s weaker than my brain? /tries to figure that one out/
CLARK: For some reason, my brain used to work better before I met you.
He just doesn’t want to look at temptation straight on.
With her bodice open in the front?
Not while in the church.
Uh-huh…
LOIS: What? I just want a happy ending as it was promised in the ad flier.
I believe that “You’ll always be a winner!” referred to the games that they played. /i.e. board and card games/
No, she’s making it hard and he’s making it complicated.

You’ve made it difficult for me to use the word “hard” in any of my stories.
She gets what she wants and he agrees.
Exactly!
Yes, Clark handling the physical evidence of how he views the current situation would be…inappropriate.
LOIS: Unless he really wants to… then we can discuss it… over breakfast.
If you didn’t want me to…to stop… you wouldn’t be.”
didn’t want to stop?
Good catch. I did add that at the last moment. Originally, this line read: “If you didn’t want me to…to… you wouldn’t be.” Stop is definitely the wrong word here. Hmmm. I think I’ll leave it with Clark unable to voice what she wants him to continue doing.
CLARK: What? I’m currently working on reduced brain oxygen.
LOIS: And here I thought he could hold his breath for 20 minutes.
Only one way to find out?
True. But it’s not a risk he’s willing to take.
LOIS: Risk it, already! /brow furrows/ Risk what exactly?
I’ve really got to stop reading my stories before I post them. Then I wouldn’t do last minute, post-beta, edits like this. Thanks. Fixed.
CLARK: Why does everyone expect me to always be super human? Oh, right. Never mind.
No, like a hurricane.
“I will never have sex with you, Lois.”
“What?!”
ER: /enjoys evilness like this/
Thank you.
I just realized. If Mazic does happen and Clark would freeze Lois, it’s very likely they’d well…consummate first and then when he tries to revive her…things could get awkward for a little while /evil/
Whom exactly would Mazic kidnap to entice Clark into freezing Lois? I’ve already established that these Kents don’t travel to Metropolis.
Clark took hold of her hand and waved a naughty finger at her. “This morning isn’t about me,” he whispered, running his free hand around her chest. “It’s about you and your pleasure.”
Yes. Right.
CLARK: /huh/ It always worked with the sorority girls…
See, this is the error of his logic happens. He’s assuming that only if HE has pleasure does the curse come into effect.
TEMPUS:
What? He’s just giving her what she asked for.
Until at least 8 o’clock?
But they worked late into the night working on the bombing of Snell.
Feel free to let me know what you thought of this (mostly) A-Plot free distraction.
Umm…distracting?
Glad you enjoyed it, Michael. We’ll be returning to the plot of our story when I return.
L&C: We will?
EW: Well, somewhat.
