Hi Mary!
He told her to never wear the necklace.
MLT once gave Lois a necklace with blue Kryptonite. It had the most remarkable effect on Clark.
“Why is your wife forced to wear such a mere scrap of fabric?!
Kryptonian? Objecting to Lois being dressed in a hip-length skirt? But no, why would they object to concubines dressing that way.
Are you too poor to give her a proper dress?”
Seems more like an earlier century.
Clark sighed as the woman before him studied her reflection in the full-length mirror next to the closet.
Oh. An earlier incarnation of Lois. Or a later one from the Republic of Gilead.
“And why is her hair shorn, so?”
She’s a criminal. A scandalous woman who works with men the whole day long.
“You’ve sold it to a wig-maker, haven’t you!” she accused.
His mother is using it to make Superman a wig. Latest fashion prefers the heroes to have long, flowing hair, broad shoulders, and a naked chest while they hold the rescued damsel for the photo opportunity.
“See here! I did not cross the vast expanse of time and the grave only to be shackled to a mere peasant!”
Don’t worry, Clark would never rent his wife out to toil in some kitchen. He’d never get any good money for her that way.
She batted his hand away from the clasp. “Be still, Peasant! A life in squalor is nevertheless a life, and who knows how much longer I would have to wait for another opportunity.”
Could Clark superspeed the necklace off?
A whispered word here, a bit of poison there…”
It does sound like The Fox got off easy when Lady Loisette married Baron Tempos.
TEMPOS: I had her sent to a nunnery within a year if marrying her.
She gasped. “What…what are you?”
CLARK: I am the Scarlet Wizard. I am the most powerful being in this world.
“I’m not a peasant. Do you think I make my wife dress like this because I *can’t* get her nicer clothes?
LOIS: what does he mean by ‘nicer’ clothes? What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?
“I’m sorry too.” She sighed against him, pulling him closer. “No more haunted jewelry,” she promised.
So, the pre-wife got scared and pulled a Lois in him?
This was a cute one. I did go back to check if it was a Halloween fic : smile1:
