/FYI: Apparently, as you'll note, all gremlin codes have to be all lower case, now./ Yeah, I never capitalized than anyway. It’s more a matter of hitting the shift-key too early It wasn't until after I wrote this did I realize you were referring to Clark.... cough... recharging her batteries. Yeah. And if you recall Lois's reaction to him hitting the buzzer at 30 seconds.
CLARK: It wasn't 30 seconds... shock Was it? thud Yeah, she was not pleased. Superman, the fastest stud alive. CLARK: huh How exactly do I win if you die? LEX: Really, people, it's not me! It's just the upgrade! |This is like with the dog and the homework, isn’t it? I've been going back over lots of my old FDK threads, and tons of my FDK responses are gone or shortened too. Michael

John: Aren't you a sweetie for coming in and complaining about Lex... er... commenting? Won't work, he has to meet his past head on. CARLOS: I think this is why we can so sympathize with Wrong Clark, because we all fear we will reach that breaking point. In L&C they faced some breaking points, but with his obsession with a Lois who is this Lois, and yet not this Lois, Clark has a really tough path to go. You mean canon Lois or this alt-canon Lois? Yes. Is it fate or are they trying to build on the memory of love with someone else? /And, here, you thought this was just Soap Opera drivel, not something deeper. / But Lois is not Lana. It will take a long time for him to believe this in his inner heart. When you only have the experience of how one person treated you, you tend to look at life through that prism. Maybe she would have loved him more if he had stood up to her. Maaaayyyybbbeeee. Or maybe Lana wanted a doormat. This might be just because Lois is more honest with herself. Or maybe Lois doesn't want a doormat. CLARK: Now, she tells me. To be fair, the alien side and Superman are not the same thing. Superman was the alien side repackaged with all the plus. So, if Clark started doing heroic things in tights, Lana might have accepted his abilities better?... because of the package? That is a contrast that I can't nit-pick at. Maybe Lana HAD risked her life for Clark and he just didn't know it? That makes me wonder why he ever got engaged to Lana, but I think I sadly understand how that happened. Because she knew the truth about him and didn't go running into the hills (or to the govn't) screaming like her pants were on fire. In Clark's experience, people like that were very rare. Putting Clark (as opposed to Superman) so close to Lois in public might not be wise. Lois and Clark are professionals. They can handle seeing each other without ducking into the stairwell for a quickie. CLARK: LOIS: We are? Darn! Nothing could be be better for their relationship than her to seem bored with Luthor. Again, this was Clark's POV, so it's his interpretation of her expression. It's possible she was completely riveted to whatever Lex was drolling on about. Good thing Luthor lacks super-hearing. Was she with Luthor at that moment? Yep. Part of me thinks "stop himself from" would read better, but maybe I just like the self form too much. I noticed this too, when I was re-reading it to see your comment. Explain all the reasons he left, not just wanting to find his own Lois, or a Lois he could have. CLARK: But that's only telling Lois half of the truth. I'm not sure about that. That he can love her over the more refined Lois from canon tells something about him. Canon LOIS: /nudges her husband/ Did you hear that, Clark? John says I'm refined. CANON CLARK: So, he hasn't watch the last two seasons recently? At least he never had sex with canon Lois. Phew. No. I didn't go there in this story.

*** Continuation of Response to John's FDK ***He still does not fully trust her. After Lana, I'm not surprised though. Trust is something that is built on experience. Lana wasn't the only one not to trust Clark. Lois also lied to him about what she was doing with Lex. (i.e. investigating him as opposed to dating him.) Good thing Lois was not here, otherwise she might get ideas for their wedding.
LOIS: We aren't getting married. LOIS: Oh, no. We'll be consummating this relationship LONG before we ever decide to walk down the aisle. CLARK: Oh? Yeah, Clark saves another life. But does Peter deserved to be saved? CAT: Duh! Yes! He maybe scum, but he's my brother. Nerds never get laid, the groom being the exception. Thus his rule is proved not workable. Nerds everywhere celebrate. I love mentions of Wanda. CAT: Doesn't matter what he calls her. He still only has a one track mind. It's a good thing nobody is really like this in real life. It helps that it is the cleavage of the right woman. CLARK: Sure. Totally. Whatever you say, John. Only long enough to learn it was not Lois. So, Clark isn't allowed to admire other beautiful women? Only Lois? LOIS: Exactly. CLARK: That... um... doesn't seem very realistic. Who needs x-ray vision with that dress? It's not see through, just really... um... low cut. Thanks. Hmmmmm. Maybe I should get Lois and Clark together to banter more often. Real always beats fantasy. CLARK: You can *touch* real. LOIS: /Slaps his hand away/ Who says that? CLARK: Ooooops. Was that out loud? Clark is good if he can moan her fake name. He has a fast brain. LOIS: That better be all. Wanda: As easy as you want me to be. Lo... er... Wanda! Better safe than sorry, the walls have ears.
I like this part even more now than when I betaed it. I'm glad it grew better with age.

Yeah, I never capitalized than anyway. It’s more a matter of hitting the shift-key too early Darn typing class which made those things second nature. Yeah, she was not pleased. Superman, the fastest stud alive. LOIS: LEX: /who said anything about Clark "winning"?/ This is like with the dog and the homework, isn’t it? No! I really did reply to those comments, originally. I pride myself on responding to my readers... I'm sure sometimes, they wished I spent the time working on my instead, but still I always feel bad if I miss responding to someone's comment.

So, Clark didn’t try to x-ray her and accidently set them on fire? LOIS /pats out burn spot/: See? My Clarkie got no passion for that blonde hick. LOIS: Oh, no. We'll be consummating this relationship LONG before we ever decide to walk down the aisle. Hard up much, our little tornado? Darn typing class which made those things second nature. Actually…in German every second word’s capitalized and I so love writing in English. There’s not any kind of connection between the two. Anyhow, no, the problem is that the next character ( : ) needed the shift key and the left pinky was a bit faster than the right ring finger. I’m sure Lois knows that problem. I'm sure sometimes, they wished I spent the time working on my instead, It’s really pest and cholera, isn’t it? New story or new laughs. Michael

So, Clark didn’t try to x-ray her (Lana) and accidently set them on fire? LOIS /pats out burn spot/: See? My Clarkie got no passion for that blonde hick. LANA: Then, why did he sleep with me and not you? LOIS: EXACTLY! With me, he's too busy to sleep. CLARK: LOIS: Oh, no. We'll be consummating this relationship LONG before we ever decide to walk down the aisle. Hard up much, our little tornado? Well, this is the THIRD time she's lived this life without much action from Clark... LOIS: Yeah! I want me some action. Patience. Patience. LOIS: /scoffing/ Can you believe her? CLARK: You know, minha, I think she might have a valid... LOIS: Go blow it out your ear. Actually…in German every second word’s capitalized and I so love writing in English. There’s not any kind of connection between the two. Anyhow, no, the problem is that the next character ( : ) needed the shift key and the left pinky was a bit faster than the right ring finger. I’m sure Lois knows that problem. I'm always in awe of anyone who can translate German live (especially politics) being that verb usually doesn't appear until the last word of the sentence. It’s really pest and cholera, isn’t it? New story or new laughs. This one, so we'd be further along in a much more timely fashion, of course.

LANA: Then, why did he sleep with me and not you?
LOIS: EXACTLY! With me, he's too busy to sleep.
CLARK: <tries to be nonchalant at his constant rescuing of Lois that keeps him up at night> LOIS: Hey! LOIS: Yeah! <horny as hell due to pregnancy hormones> I want me some action. Patience. Patience.
LOIS: /scoffing/ Can you believe her?
CLARK: You know, minha, I think she might have a valid...
LOIS: Go blow it out your ear. I'm always in awe of anyone who can translate German live (especially politics) being that verb usually doesn't appear until the last word of the sentence. Hmm…I think that’s only with passive sentences. Although, I have no idea if they’re using a lot of passive during speeches. POLITICIAN: What do you mean by ‘I’m passive’? Michael
