If she had to move heaven and Earth, perhaps come back to haunt Perry and explain the story after they'd killed her, she would do it.

The ending was inspired by LaraMoon’s “Cut From the Same Cape” and Classicalla’s “The Yellow Towel”. Hehe... Batman slapped a hand to his cowled forehead. “No! Now we have to meet here tomorrow after I procure another charter for us! Do you have *any idea* how much this type of letterhead *costs*??” Like Batman would care. Don’t tell me Clark wouldn’t have noticed that everyone else was signing their super hero name? He’s pretty smart. Oh, come on. LnC Clark is not that dorky. He’s just not. He had been scrambling all day to collect signatures for all of the B-574 forms that he needed to have ready by tomorrow. Oh, my. Did Becky ever really find out about Clark. I thought she just knew that her dad had switched bodies with Superman. “Clark? Where are the notes for our new story? Oh, never mind, I found them- HEY! NOW YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE, BUSTER!” Oh, my, this had me laughing! Knowing exactly what would keep Superman on his best behavior, Lois had enclosed a baby picture of Clark that showed his bare bottom peeking out from behind a towel, with a note that said “Threaten to copy and circulate.”
Yes, Superman was not one to trifle with consequences such as those. Pounding my desk in laughter. The cat’s looking at me funny. I’m laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt! Oh, Victor, that was hilarious!!

Absolutely hilarious. I was laughing at every part, but when you got to the connection between your inspiration and the storyline (the picture) I cracked up. Yep, the world could be saved from the strongest Superhero by a baby picture. Imagine though, he has taken over the world, and is supreme dictator, but everyone's still laughing at him.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

Oh, Victor, that was hilarious!! Yeah, I actually thought that the charter signature thing made Clark a bit too dorky myself - it was just the funniest way that I could think of to have the Justice League need to meet again and have it be Clark's fault. I mean, seriously, an organization of people from so many different places, and yet everyone can attend regular meetings with no problems at all? I think not! I think that Becky did know about Clark - I seem to remember her calling him Mr. Kent at least a couple of times in that episode. Plus her father told her she was going to switch bodies with Clark Kent, and she saw him do it firsthand. Hmm, my name's actually Vincent, but there's an interesting story behind that. In high school I had a friend called Victor, and for some reason people would often call him Vincent and me Victor. The names are kind of similar  It was kind of funny because we looked nothing alike. Well, other than both of us being Asian males who wear glasses. Oh, and Woody summed up the spirit of the ending perfectly. It's hard to live in fear of an evil tyrant when you've seen his compromising baby pictures.

Oh.... I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type.... Well, I knew that Lara's yellow towel covering much of baby Clark, but not his bottom, would be a classic. You have certainly made sure it is by now, Vincent!!!  Ann

The ending was inspired by LaraMoon’s “Cut From the Same Cape” and Classicalla’s “The Yellow Towel”. Huh! Something tells me there's going to be a bare bottom somewhere in there... *lol* I kind of started wondering what the Justice League might look like in L&C, somehow I ended up thinking of this. hehehehe! I kinda wondered about that too. In fact, I left myself an opening to create one at the end of one of my fics. Hopefully someday, I'll even find time to write about it.  Surely Superman, the one accounted to be the greatest among them, could not possibly be such a dork? LOL! Of course he can - he's so incredibly naive. But it's so cute... Batman slapped a hand to his cowled forehead. “No! Now we have to meet here tomorrow after I procure another charter for us! Do you have *any idea* how much this type of letterhead *costs*??” I can just see him slapping his forehead and I'm so cracking up! And I find it incredibly amusing that a billionaire (or two!) would complain about the price of anything. hehehe! The Martian Manhunter simply closed his eyes while he let out a long-suffering sigh. Betcha he's thinking about how illogical humans are? LOL! “Yeah, you know – those forms that you have people sign when they discover your secret identity? Geez, man, did you just decide to put on a suit one day?” snort!! Since then, they had decided that it would be better for him to inhabit a chimpanzee’s body. Choke! Not the chimp! Nooooo! Furthermore, Superman is henceforth forbidden to even *think* about looking at another woman. Muahahahaha! That's the best one yet. Clark replaced “piece of hidden kryptonite” with “black teddy.” ![[Linked Image]](http://www.v-rodforums.com/forums/images/smilies/rofl3.gif) Knowing exactly what would keep Superman on his best behavior, Lois had enclosed a baby picture of Clark that showed his bare bottom peeking out from behind a towel, with a note that said “Threaten to copy and circulate.” hehehehe!  Loved it, this was just WAY too funny!! I should have you finish my "Clark Kent is Batman... NOT!" series - you're so much funnier than I am. hehehe! I'll be grinning for a while now.
Superman: Why is it that good villains never die?
Batman: Clark, what the hell are good villains?

Hmm, my name's actually Vincent Ooops. I knew that didn’t sound quite right. Should have double checked. Sorry! Geez, man, did you just decide to put on a suit one day?” Yeah, he just sort of did, didn’t he? Knowing exactly what would keep Superman on his best behavior, Lois had enclosed a baby picture of Clark that showed his bare bottom peeking out from behind a towel, with a note that said “Threaten to copy and circulate.” Still laughing at this. Now she just needs to add a pic of the adult Clark’s butt!

Oh Geez! I'm pretty sure I've never laughed that much in reading a story! The end, specifically, is SO HILARIOUS!! I was laughing all alone in front of my computer. Very good!

I so loved this story, especially the ending. but one thing worries me: “OK, the purpose of this meeting is to discuss contingency measures. As you are all no doubt aware, if one of us is ever hypnotized, brainwashed, or otherwise turned to evil while in the line of duty, that person could seriously compromise security.” Green Lantern said as he addressed the Justice League. I hope this Green Lantern is not Hal Jordan? Then the JLA is in dire trouble. We all know what happened with comic book Hal, after all.

He went a little mad, tried to take over the world - or was it the universe? Well, he ended up being the Specter for some reason.

Okay, it was something like this... his city, Sun City(?) was totalled, and absolutely everyone in it died (we're talking millions - this is one of the reasons why I hardly ever read comic books any more). After that he slowly went crazy, and - if I remember correctly - he killed the other Green Lanterns of the universe and absorbed their power, and, well... I lost interest after that.

I never was a huge Green Lantern fan. I only read about them in Justice League.

My, what is it today with all those double and triple posts? Bakasi even managed to send one of hers six times!
So, off the rant: I've never been a Green Lantern fan, but I've heard about this story second- or thirdhand. Whatever.

Ah, the green lantern that I had in mind when writing this was John Stewart.
