Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Undercover Reporter: Resurrection (4/17)

Part 4 is up with a little visit to Smallville. The next chapter will land us back with Lois, and back in hot water as her stake-out heats up!

If you catch any other nitpicks, moments where there isn't solid clarity, etc. let me know! I'm aiming to submit to the archive later. Sara did a fantastic bet-job, but I always end up making more edits after she's done.

And if any of the story makes you feel things, I'd love to know.

Thanks for reading!

This is so heart-wrenching. I feel for Clark, but at the same time I want to give him a knock over his head. Seems like Martha has decided that Lois is the person who needs to do that. Or she's just waiting until she's carved a sledgehammer large enough to leave an imprint in his thick and stubborn skull.

Can't wait for more.

Poor Clark! It feels like he’s trying to outrun himself: if he stops, all the grief will catch up.

I’m looking forward to the next installment!

Poor Clark. It looks like he's getting paranoid. It's a wonder that Lois is still putting up with his frantic behavior. It must be stressful for both of them.

I hope she can talk some sense into him before he snaps. He won't be able to hold that level of tension for long.

That’s so sad! Poor Clark! I feel for him. He’s falling apart. It can’t be easy being Superman all the time. That has to be very stressful. Since he’s so worried about going to the farm, I wonder if he even has a place to stay so he can have some down time. I can’t wait for the next chapter! I love this story! Thank you!

Lunkhead.

That's the only word (or maybe a few more) to describe what hurt Clark is doing to himself and those who love him best. No one can keep up that level of tension without eventually snapping.


Martha is REALLY annoyed at her son! Normally, she would lay a plate on the table, happy to see her son sit and eat. Now she's dropped it. To her credit, Ma Kent is holding back her ire, otherwise, she would tan his hide like it was cheap leather. Talk to Lois! Now!

Loving every word of this story.

Hi Evie!

That’s a cute one!

Things he learns while sneaking Lana up to his room as a teenager.

Jonathan: your mother is taking rhyming lessons this semester at the Smallville Community College.


MARTHA: Lois still a fan of my homemade chocolate chip cookies? I’ll make sure they’re fresh when you bring her by the next time. I’ll have your old room set up for her.

MARTHA: let’s see. The kryptonite from when Trask was here saturated the pond water. What do you think, a two second dip of the baseball bat enough to have an effect?

Cloning.

Poor dear! I wonder if we should mention how much he is endangering Lois with his under the covers superman stuff.





Poor stupid dear.

She might want to start talking to Lois.

This was a heart-wrenching scene.

Bakasi, thanks again for commenting! I laughed out loud reading your Martha comments! Yeah, I think Martha may have realized that you can lead a horse to water, but ultimately it has to be Clark that decides to have a life with Clark Kent in it. But, personally, I agree with you - I'd vote for the sledgehammer.


Scarlet42, thanks so much for following along with into this one! I think you said this better than I ever could have! The moment he stops, the grief will catch up. ...but he's pretty fast, so it may take him a while to sort that out.


Andreia, as I'm sure you've seen by now, the stress is weighing on them for sure. I just posted chapter 13, and I think we're seeing one of the peaks of that tension. But there's definitely going to be a resolution or a snap!


Songbird, really apt to think about whether he has a place to stay - I don't think he can stop long enough to stop anywhere for long. As you say, he's definitely falling apart. Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm so glad you're enjoying this one!


Morgana, you're absolutely right! He's being such a lunkhead! He doesn't even deserve the cookie that Martha hands him, let alone the plate! Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you're having fun reading this one!


Darth Michael, thank you so much for the detailed comments!

:rotfl: It's in an iambic rhythm, too. Didn't intend for the sing-song!

Well, they didn't think of that this time around! Where were you during the prelude to the first Undercover Reporter, when they could have used that idea?

The stupidest. And the dearest.

Thank you so much! It was a late add, so I'm glad that it flew, so to speak!

LOIS: Hel-lo? Cloning is only for *bad* guys!

Oh it did!
