Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Seeking Heroes, Part 1

Nice image! Now, I'll forgive you alost everything - apart from not posting before Easter.

I truly liked this part, and I'm definitely looking forward to the next, and the one after that, and... You get my meaning.


And I figured Lois for being insecure... I love this. It makes Clark so much more of an imperfect person instead of the perfect superhero.


Sweet and funny at the same time. More of this, please!


That's my very favourite line of this story.
And this reply, hmmm. I love to see them bantering like that.





He must've been planning on this for a while. Interesting.

Keep up the good work! (And do it soon! )

awww! You know I'm always here for you. I hope the darkness clears up and light comes shining through again real soon. You know Becca does that for me - she fills the room with sun and she's not even really here.

Sorry to quote so much of it - but this is just SO beautiful! It's a wonderful description of a very nice dream. I love that part!!

And this is just way too cute! He's so great with her and she's so precious. I envy Lois... she's going to end up with the perfect man and the most amazing little girl as a bonus. Yep. I would love to be Lois in this story (the witch part aside... LOL)

Off I go to read the rest so Barbara can post it.

Do that! And do it fast...

Okay, so you got me hooked with the first chapter. I'm interested to see how Clark came to this point in life with a daughter and to see how you are going to set up the rest of the story. Looks like it is going to be an interesting ride.

I loved this, Barbara. In one of the - well, prequels? - to this, you described how another loving female showed her affection for Clark, and I thought it was Lois. It turned out to be Becca instead. Now, when I saw the word "cozy" and saw that Clark was in bed, I thought he was being a happy father and had Becca sleeping snuggled up to him. But he was having a dream about Lois. I love how you show us that Clark loves two women in his life, and the question is how he is going to bring all three of them together so that they can be a happy family.

I liked the rest of the chapter, too, particularly, as someone has already pointed out, this line:

I hope you will manage to bring Lois into the story soon, though, because I missed her during the rest of the chapter.

Barbara, could you explain what you mean by this? By real elseworld stories? I lost you there. I mean, in a way, aren’t all of our stories elseworld stories? And what would be wrong with her really being Clark’s daughter? (Maybe it lost something in translation?)


Just an FYI. It was said in the series that Clark couldn’t lift such things until he was 12 or 13.


Grown-ups probably get scared more.


A couple of years!? How old did you say she was? I thought she was seven.

Just like Halloween!! That made me smile so big!

Great story, Barbara.

JoJo, this is part of a series and part of the background has been previously explained. Here's bakasi's TOC for the series:

I don't usually translate apart from certain words, since that would end up in a horrible English, not just in bad English . What I meant was, that I don't like the kind of elseworlds where Lois and Clark aren't reporters, don't live together or anything like that. I didn't like the elseworld of the series and I disliked its second appearance even more.

I particularly like that Lois is Clark's first and only woman. That's just so romantic! ( not that I would dismiss a real man, just because he slept with another woman before me). My Clark should have waited for Lois. For me it's just not the same if Clark has loved another woman so much that they had a child together. Of course this might be interesting as well. But this Clark would still be suffering from his wife's death and that would lead to another story.


That's the problem with the series, or maybe I'm wrong and it's just a problem with the German translation. I don't know. In "Chip of the old Clark" Clark asked his parents if he carried the sofa when he was at the age of the little boy. (Who is likely to be about Becca's age, maybe a little older) Martha says, that he concentrated mainly on the fridge.

It's the same with flying by the way. It's obviously common assumption that Clark couldn't fly before he was eighteeen. And I remeber that his parents say this in "All shock up". But I also remember, that someone says that he could fly at the age of ten. Though I don't really remebmber the episode. Maybe it's not the same in the English version, but I've never seen a single episode in the original language and if I went through all the scripts for writing this, I'd be busy till Christmas next year.

Yeah, sorry. Like I said, I'm not the perfect speaker. I still make mistakes with much and many, though I really now where the difference is. And I should be aware that a couple only means two or three. Going to change that. Not that this is transferred to nfic just because of my stupidity.

Thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate that.

Thanks for the feedback to all of you. And according to LaraMoon's comments, you'll like what is still to come.

Do you mean the alt-world? The one where Lois invented Superman? The one where the alt-Clark was engaged to Lana Lang?


Yes, I just watched ‘All Shook Up’ about an hour ago. His parents say he flew at age 18. I’ve never heard the bit about 10 years old.


From ‘Chip Off The Old Clark’ script:
Oh, I don’t expect you to go through the scripts, and I hope I didn’t upset you. It was just a little FYI.


No, I didn’t think so. And somehow I don’t think that kind of fic would even be allowed to be posted. (Thank god.)

Yes, you get back here with Pumpkin soon.

Ah dang - and here I was wondering if you'd read my last story. (joking!! I don't usually like those either)

I should have picked up on that - sorry. I keep remembering the scene in the first movie where he's like... what? barely 4 years-old and he's lifting the car. Apart from flying which I always remember he doesn't do until he's about 18 in L&C, I tend to forget when he starts being able to do what. I'll look up things more carefully next time, I promise.

This one is entirely my fault. I make that mistake *all the time*.

In French "une couple d'années" (translated literally into "a couple of years" - and the fact that we use it is probably a bad English to French translation to begin with, but it's a common expression) means whatever number of years you want it to mean and not specifically two years.

Like it? Nooooo! They're going to love it. I think it's absolutely brilliant!! If I could write like *that*, I would start writing novels right this second and stop worrying about what I'm going to do when I stop working in 4 days.

I'm bright red, almost turning into dark black. Don't you write such things, people are going to believe that, Lara!

I don't remember what she says exactly, maybe Tahu, Olympe or any of the others can tell. But I don't remember that she says something about Junior High. But there is no such thing as Junior High in Germany ( we just don't go to school between the age of 12 and 14 )I guess that some of the mistakes in the Series are due to translation.

I'm not upset about you're mentioning. Anyway, since we agreed that everything we write is elseworld, maybe this world's Clark could lift such objects.

Well, gee... I *hope* they believe it, because it's true!! Stop being so modest.

Hi,

Great start!
