Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Halloween 6/8

I haven't been reading this story, Nan - sometimes I feel overwhelmed by everything to read - but I really liked this part a lot. The interaction between this Lois and this Clark was so very interesting. Imagine, Lois has no idea that Clark is Superman, neither her own Clark nor this one. But she manages to trust him and to explain things to him - I loved their talk about both Loises' attraction to Superman and to Lex. Clark really understood a few things about himself and Lois after his talk with other-Lois. Imagine that this Clark's Lois had actually gone ahead and married Lex. I loved that Clark figured this out:

Well, that's what I keep saying all the time - please be honest with her, Clark....

I loved this, too:

I wonder if the "visiting Lois" will figure out that her Clark is Superman, too? Or will she go home to her own reality and go on being lied to by Clark?

Anyway, so scary... Luthor more or less own the Metropolis police force, or he certainly owns enough of it to be able to stay completely out of reach of the law. Surely Lois and Clark will nail Luthor, save the other Lois and clean up Metropolis?

Great story, Nan!

I'm curious how Lois ended up in the Women Shelter...

Such a rich part. There was so much a like about it, starting with the little things.

I love it when characters think in idioms. It makes it more realistic and makes the story, in general, more homey.

I like how much communication is going on in this segment. Clark telling Mortie how much he knows. Lois and Clark continuing to talk about their feelings and circumstances. There is such freedom in talking to that safe, almost best friend, third person.

I like that Clark is preparing to be honest with his Lois. I equally like that he hasn't told the visiting Lois the truth--it's not fair if he plans to send her back.

The research he does, AKA reading sci fi, is good, too. Where else does an investigator start when faced with unreal circumstances.

I also like the little details of Lois disgusing her voice on the phone--pinching her nose is too funny. And then forgetting she isn't safe just because she's walking at Clark's side.

And, of course, she's in the women's shelter because where else do battered women hide out? Of course, this Lois has to balance running away from Lex with investigating where the other Lois could be.
