Nancy, thanks for the lovely feedback. What a treat!
I’ve wondered and wondered - ever since that one Geico commercial - what ever in the world “chips” are
Similar to french fries - wiki describes them as slab-cut potatoes.
As in the Martha from Dr. Who?
Yes, that was an oblique mention to the Doctor's S3 companion, Martha Jones. Just another one of those secret Doctor Who handshake kind of references...
As in Ex-Lax? Or are there really Xthlaxians on Dr. Who
LOL

It was supposed to be a made-up, nonsense word, but you make funnier.
Oh, boy. Clark’s been living there a LONG time.

Kathy said the same thing. She thinks his block must have gone condo or something. Or if you like, the Superman foundation bought out the entire block and he lives in the penthouse of the new office building built in the same spot. Yeah, that's it. I'll go with that.
What? Did Tempus suddenly decide to be a nice guy and put them together? Or did he not realize that there would be a time lag in the world he sent them both to?
Hmm. Well, I was thinking that Tempus had the time window set for that time and place because he knew Dr. Klein had the Kryptonite and figured he'd take care of Superman for him. I guess that didn't come out clearly.
I think I read another story where Tempus had transported Lois far into the future
Lost In Time by ML Thompson. I absolutely adore that one.
And I’d like to see you do a sequel, BJ.
Erm. Yeah. Plot bunnies have been attacking this weekend, but not for this one. I'm still holding out for a Wendy crossover, but in the meantime, check out Marcus' story
Arrival uploaded to the archive this weekend. It's a lovely Doctor Who/LnC crossover vignette.
Thanks again for the comments. They brought a smile to my face.
