Mouserocks, I know that using roofies on a guy is not standard procedure, but the drug works on guys just like it does on gals. It makes a person very happy, very compliant, and usually very memory-impaired - but not always. Nigel definitely wants a rematch with Clark, but he obviously doesn't know what he's letting himself in for.
Ken, don't forget that Luthor is a past master at interpreting events his way. We'll see that in the next chapter.
mrsMxyzptlk, I always wanted to see Clark take a poke at Nigel in the show and he never did. Thank goodness for fanfic!
BJ, thanks for the compliment on the lesser characters. I read a book once where the bad guy had associates who were two-dimensional - literally - and never spoke, never made any choices, never did anything except what the bad guy told them to do. It was awful. They might as well have just thrown themselves into the Well of Lost Plots.
Virginia, I doubt that Clark hit Nigel hard enough to actually hurt him. I'm sure it was more of a push than a punch or Nigel would have been carried out on a gurney.
You were tallying up Lois' crimes. Let's see, we have three counts of assault with a deadly weapon (the shootings), two counts of grand theft auto, discharging a firearm in a public place (when she shot Walt), felony injury, kidnapping (Robertson), felony restraint (using force to keep someone at a place against his/her will), and there are more to come.
Shallowford, she'd probably be charged with trespassing for entering the warehouse, assuming anyone bothers with a misdemeanor with that list of felonies above. Don't worry about Clark revealing too much. As we shall see, Nigel didn't pick up on it.
Morgana, glad you liked Clark and Perry standing up to Nigel and Lex, respectively. I think Luthor is a lot less intimidating when he doesn't have the upper hand.
Next chapter up in moments!
