-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK -- That he is not seeing Lois.
Sorry, that's a main plot point in this Section of the story.
So he did get a new tape?
Apparently.
Hmm, how would he know that? He had no clue where true Clark was when he was erased from the time line. Although, the more I think about it, the only way for it to make sense at all that he was erased from the time line is if he was somehow back in time when it happened, otherwise how could an event in the past only at some point effect the future?
Clark doesn't know what would happen in the future if he (or True Clark) was erased in the past. Would Lois be talking to Clark at one moment, then then he fades away to nothing in the next (as she described)? As he spent most of the weekend as Superman, and it was "Clark" Lois saw disappear in the woods, he figured "Superman" was safe in the woods.
we have now beat the threat of destruction.
Not yet.
Since it is "a few others" sporting the think, should it not be "scowls"?
I guess that makes more sense. Fixed.
I have to say I am glad we only heard about it second hand, otherwise we might not have seen Clark at all this part.
If it hadn't been the complaints of my Readers most of Section 2 would have been from Lois's POV (and probably much shorter).
LOIS: I meant other than me.
pesky watch interrupting everything. At least this time he doesn't say anything about it.
You really give the watch more power over Clark than it actually has.
At least Lois is realistic in admitting she had no computer abilities.
Probably best to have the real experts solve the problems than have Lois not be realistic.
Lois:That's OK, you can use your other identity when you get Eugene out of jail.
CLARK: But then I couldn't be with you, and John says we don't spend enough time together as it is.
EW:
That would not deter family members of mine from driving. Although, if Clark feels this much that it is important to have a license to drive, why did he drive in the past when his license was not valid in this dimension. Although, has he ever driven in this dimension. As far as I remember all the driving we have seen has been done by Lois. That was not the case in canon, but I think it may be the case here in wrong Clark.
My assumption is that Lois doesn't always drive to work, unless she knows she'll need her car. Clark's license was a valid driver's license, even if not from this dimension.
I like this plan, mainly because I like anything that causes Lois and Clark to spend more time together.
CLARK: I knew John would like this plan.
that he had to be out rescuing people. They could have finally had the much needed conversation.
Yes, the world falling apart is quite a nuisance to their relationship.
Their lips were close enough for him to feel her breath on them.
JOHN: You are probably going to be "stop being so picky", but I think this sentence would work better as "feel her breath on his". The item discussed is "their lips" and Clark only feels her breath on his lips. I do like the imagery though.
His lips, maybe, but 'her breath on his' implies his breath could feel hers. The "them" implies his lips (two lips = plural, thus "them).
That should probably be "in a long time" or "for a long time". You need some another word there for it to flow.
Thanks. Fixed.
she wants to live with Clark.
I love how you read between the lines like that.
But this story would be so much more fun if he would give in to the temptation.
Wouldn't it? But that's not what this story is about.
I am glad he is trying to laugh about it. Although it might be a little to not acknowledging how truly scared Lois was by her memories.
Yep, too soon.
I like how things make more sense now, with later actions being caused by previous agreements.
Thank you.
Clark was tempted to throw caution to the wind and kiss her, right here on the newsroom floor,
JOHN: Do it, Do it!
This from the guy who almost broke up with her to protect her.
I love irony.
I guess this is a workable situation, still I was so hoping she was going to tell Clark that she knows.
There's a world to save. So, later, when their lives are nice and quiet.
“Your modesty,” she went on wryly, standing up.
JOHN: Superman modest? I was going to say the guy is the antithesis of modesty, but that might be a bit much. Still, using the name "Superman" does not work with being modest, it is an overt sign of pride, even if it really does fit.
Hence her saying it "wryly" (sarcastically).
Perry:They are going to have a hard time convincing those who saw her do that that they are "just friends".
She used to do that in canon all the time, when they were 'just friends'.
I always thought he was too forward in showing that in "Man of Steel Bars".
I noticed in IoM that Clark looked a little hot and sweaty, so I was trying to find an explanation for this. In MoSB, Clark admitted to sweating while nervous, which is kind of the reason I found.
And has for 20 parts without telling him.
But technically only three weeks.
I thought he always came back because she was there.
CLARK: That too.
Are their shoulders that close that one hand can be on both?
handS. Fixed.
He really should fail to contact Superman once in a while if he does not want people to suspect The Truth.
Which is why he wasn't able to get a quote from Superman when the elevator dropped during his date with Linda.
I am surprised Clark is taking so long to show up as SM, but I guess he has to give a reasonable amount of time.
You said to make it more difficult to connect the dots.
Hmm, it seems like the plan is mainly Brenda's. Lex seems to not have taken steps to actually move forward with repopulation much. Although Noah's plan seemed to have involved balanced numbers of males and females, something that Muldoon and Luthor seem to not have decided on.
Yes, the plan is Brenda Muldoon's. Lex may have brought equal number of males and females into his Ark, but that doesn't mean he's going to share.
I think the first plan would be much wiser. The only problem is that I can see Clark resisting it, so Lois might have a much better change to give it to him as a fair accompli.
Either way, I am not sure she is going to be able to do it without admitting to him that she knows that CK=SM. I guess she could claim she still believes the Italian Clark story.
