Darth Michael: Thank you for reading and commenting.

There was a chapter heading the last part, too… /confused/
Yes. I got overly excited by all the terrific song titles out there. Forgive a writer her silliness.
Also, I’ve read your Muse is relaxing with a 10-parter? /hyper/
My apologies. My muse has dug in her heels. I'm almost done with Part 11. /hangs head down in shame at not being able to control my Muse./
/hears gun going off in the room with the fireplace/
PAVEL: It wasn’t me! They don’t hand guns to men wearing *gold* uniforms. We never got to go on away missions…
Someone has been reading the classics again.

How do you expect your brain to rot, if you keep that up?
Nope. She's wearing black tonight. Because who would notice another woman wearing black?
And he wouldn’t be anywhere else.
CLARK: /that's right!/ I’d hate for all that work to go to waste.
His mama taught him to be gentleman.
EW: Yeah, I noticed that too, now that you mention it. Ooops.
MARTHA: Clark Jerome Kent!
CAT: Well, that was the longest Lois ever kept a man interested. And I really thought he was a keeper, being invulnerable and all. Maybe she'll have better luck with the next man who come along.
Because he's honest?
CLARK: Bullet proof vests are kind of useless while I’m in space.
Plus, Superman in a bulletproof vest might worry people.
He’s adorable. And what if she had slipped a prophylactic into his pocket?
LOIS: So he can conveniently lose it? No, my bag’s big enough for those.

PERRY: They go in the wallet, so you *can't* lose it.
CLARK: I swear, Lois, I think Bonnie picked my pocket!
LOIS: Uh-huh.
One does have to remember that back in the day, those things where almost as big as today’s mobile phones.
Thicker and more cumbersome with a lot less functions.
CLARK: I’m not a thief. I’d never steal anything.

LOIS: /seriously considering getting a boy-toy on the side/ I try to give it away for free, and he won’t accept it. I try to hold on to it so he can steal it, and again, nothing. Maybe if I wore the invisible suit…
I don't that includes consent.
“I wore this tie special to match.”
Hmm…’special to match’? Dunno, sounds wrong to me…
Perhaps it needs commas. “I wore this tie, special, to match.”
Well…the traditional waiting period is six months of dating, then six months of engagement, then there’s the traditional time travel episode and then the delayed wedding night. Also, maybe she could draw a demarcation line across her belly with lipstick and move it downwards a bit each day? That way, Clark wouldn’t realize what’s happening until he’s well and truly cooked. Works with frogs, so…

LOIS: Great. /sarcasm/ Terrific. /more sarcasm/ Can't wait.
CLARK: That’s why I have gotten them tattooed on a special place, too.
TATTOO ARTIST: I've never tattooed under the eyelids before. Plus, I've met some weirdos in this job, but this guy kept kissing his special green glowing rock, every few minutes.
She could have bought both and worn the red later to dinner?
LOIS:

Why didn't I think of that one?
CLARK: Do they have it in maroon?
And yet, she’s making Clark wear a bullet proof vest.
LOIS: Rule #66!
It's not her fault, nor is it Clark's. She's just trying to keep him safe.
How about removing the testosterone producing parts via crude procedures?
LOIS: /I call it the Ralph Special/
LOIS: Sadly, there wasn't enough time.
Maybe die her hair blonde while Clark makes a fortune digging up lost treasures before he settles in to his new life as a renowned billionaire? He could even get a nice car to take out for a spin during the nights while wearing a cowl.
LOIS: Hmmmm. Maybe Batman's accepting knew Robins.
CLARK: I really do better during the day. You know, daylight and all.
Or Clark could start wearing blonde wig and a glue-on beard and start again as a reporter at the Daily Planet. They could go through quite a number of facial hair combos that cover his face. People wouldn’t recognize him. Only problem would be that Lois would get a reputation for dating the new hire while he rides her coattails before getting killed in defending her.
LOIS: See, it would be much easier if he just didn't die.

“How about next time, you pay the cabbie, minha?” he asked as they started walking towards the club.
ER: /He didn't!/
Too soon, then?
Alt-MARTHA: I taught him better than that!
ALT-CLARK: You died.
MARTHA: Hmmm. No excuses!
Maybe he should stock up on chocolates?
CLARK: I got this stuff called "Chocolate dipping sauce"...
LOIS: I forgive you!
“Well, you get paid more than I do!” she snapped.
ER: /shock / thud/
What? It's the 1990s and she's a woman and he's a man.
Yes…but he’s a man and this is still way back when and there’s still gangsters running around with Tommy guns.
Exactly!

So, she should be paid more because she needs to buy more accessories as a woman?
LOIS: Exactly.
LOIS: No! Because I'm a better writer. Duh!
So, now instead of Clark being sexist, she’s being specicist?
Or she could just be arguing for argument sake to take her mind off the fact that Clark might be walking into a deathtrap.
I don’t think so, the being healthier bit, I mean.
It'd be healthier, only if he cooked the food she bought.
Like most men do?
Members of the Metropolis Men's Club: We have wives to cook for us.
ALICE:

He’d be put on 24h hour suicide watch?
PERRY: It would be highly suspicious.
Yes, but it is his fault that Lois has to consume excessive amounts of chocolates *and* doesn’t have a superpowered exercise regiment back in her bedroom.
Okay. You've got him there.
/shock/ That was all? /confused/
Again. She was just arguing for argument sake. (see above)
CAT: I never had that problem. Metaphorically speaking.
PHIL: /pokes fingers in his ears/ lalalalalalalala!
Now Cat's biggest problem is getting sleep.
CAT:

That's not a new problem, honey.
Not impossible. He just has be to be very careful to prevent consummation.
Hence the impossible angle.
Clark didn’t want that type of relationship with Lois.
ER: /can't believe this guy/
He meant that he wanted to be married and not just living together.
Maybe little more cleaning up in this corner? There’s still some dust bunnies around…
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a015.gif)
I hate grammar. There's always an exception to the rule. Thanks.
Because it didn’t say anywhere that he’d be giving her the milk.
CLARK:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c085.gif)
Well...
Oh, sorry, I moved the question to the end of the line. Fixed!
/waites for Clark to crash and burn/
LOIS:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/teufel/d060.gif)
Politicians. Certain mob bosses.
Right and as a reporter, Clark should be better than those people.
LOIS: You and me, both… /razz/
Actually, I think that's what she said.
That's one way of looking at that rumor.
Funny thing, that. She never got a divorce.
She was married to someone else?
Aren’t they cute? Just like Lois and Clark. If they where wont to knock over liquor shops.
Actually, if you look in the background of that scene, you see that Bonnie and Clyde are having an adamant discussion and once they get to the DP, they're all kissy-face, soooo.... I elaborated.
“If I play my cards right, you’ll lose your underwear.”
ER: /shock/
I know! Who knew Clark was such a poor poker player?

Because she only dated one sleezebag, one pig, one sociopathic sleazebag of a pig, and a boyschout?
And yet, she's always hopeful that the next one will be better.
/confused/ Force of habit? But he’s not usually getting shot and killed…?
Well, if you let the person who shot you know that you're wearing a bullet proof vest, they're more likely to shoot you again in the head. That recovery, much harder to fake.
Or is he putting on a show to get them out of there?
Cause he's such a good actor?
ER: /not happy to have to wait a week for the next part/
Wait until I post this week's part. Oh, wait. It's Wednesday. Hmmmm. I better get on that. /Naughty husband for suggesting we watch another episode of S5 GoT and distract me from the boards./
Regarding the k-bullets. There was at least one story where they got green bullets. And I have no idea if Tank might not have done this before, too. But that’s just because, well…I have no idea if Tank hasn’t covered any and all possible variations of ToGoM by now

Either way, twisty! Naughty twisty!
Thanks for the information. I hadn't read this twist before, but I haven't read everything on the Archives either... well, mostly because my Muse has been terribly naughty lately and I can't think straight, but that's another story.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
