The article was written by Perry White and she could tell he did not believe Clark’s protestations, “She never said a word.”
Yeah. Right.
“Is this true? What Perry writes about what happened to us? About what they did?”
Until we can figure out how to break that curse, one of you is destined to die every time you…” H. G. Wells paused as his cheeks turn red.
“Every time we what?”
Alternate Clark mumbled, “Become intimate.”
Wouldn't that be fun? HG Wells popping into every Lois's home when she's still a baby, handing them a chastity belt and detailed instructions to keep her away from heroes?
Not Clark mouthed ‘wow’ to H. G. Wells. “You talk a lot.”
She brushed away his concerns with her hand. “Only when I’m nervous. I think verbally.”
“Precisely. This plan is not going to work.”
They could tell his parents?
“Or…” She rocked an imaginary baby in her arms. “How exactly would I explain that to him or anyone?”
I visited Alt-Clark while you were gone and now I have a baby?
Then realizing what she had done, she jumped back up and started pacing again. “Not going to work.”
“And to think your Clark is going to miss this.” Other Clark raised an eyebrow towards H. G. Wells.
Bad Clark. But they could tape it for him?
“It might work. Ms. Lane, what if you didn’t vanish into thin air? What if we left someone here to take your place?”
Couldn't Lois return to this exact moment in time after the curse is resolved? Provided the resolving happens in the past. Actually, couldn't HG and Clark resolve the curse in the past and that would be it? /mutters before realizing this might disrupt the entire purpose of this fic.
“If you say clone, I’m out of here.”
Lois waved her hand again. “It’s a long story.”
“On Lois and Clark’s wedding day, she was kidnapped by Lex Luthor and replaced by a clone, who Clark then married instead,” H. G. Wells explained.
Okay, not so long after all.
I was thinking about an earlier version of you. A pre-conditional you, let’s say.”
And again, not so long after all.
“I have that effect on women, too,” Clark said sympathetically.
Yes, but with him, women likely just try to kill each other. With this one here, it's a primary love interest that gets in the crosshairs all the time.
“I don’t know if I’m comfortable with this,” Clark spoke up. “It feels like we would be lying to Clark.”
If this works, he will have no choice but to forgive you. I know I would under these circumstances.
Also, how about telling him when he gets back?
"I can see why. It’s quite overpowering.” Clark lowered his glasses and watched with his x-ray vision as Lois ran across the street to her car.
Oh boy. And this Clark has no actual experience in handling a Lois.
“Lex Luthor showed me this underground bunker he had made out of an old bomb shelter.” The door closed and they started to descend.
