Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Trusting Me, Trusting You 2:Bridge (24/25)

Thanks!

Corrina.

My heart was pounding during the Scardino scene, right along with Lois's! Eek!!

Wow! You could really feel the anxiety in that chapter! Excellent writing!

The preview sure was an evil cliffhanger!!! I wonder who is coming... Scardino or Shadbolt... or someone else?!

Can't wait for the next one! But then I am sure you'll leave us at the end of 25 totally hanging out for Trail 1.



Cheers
Elizabeth

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have any regular words for this!

Oh.My.God! My heart was in my throat the entire update, dreading the inevitable.

*sob*

Glad they got that out of the way.

Her control throughout is impressive.

What a poignant picture you've painted.

Gah! At least she is there; he's not alone this time.

And the preview... who could it be?

Shadbolt returning? Seems unlikely since Lois didn't give him the full details of what Scardino ordered.

Scardino coming to check progress? This might be the best case scenario. After only an hour of exposure Clark's not completely at their mercy.

Menzies? He's shown little interest in observing first hand thus far, why start now?

Longford? Maybe coming to collect his stuff? That wouldn't be so bad. Last and definitely worst...

Moyne? I don't know how he would have found out what's going down or if he's just happened by the compound. He just may have a 6th sense for Clark's suffering. Whatever brought him there, it can't be good.

EEK!!!

Who is coming???

Thank you for such quick updates here! I cannot express how much I love this fic - it is truly amazing.

Ahk blech!

Okay, I'm going to comment before I read part 25 even though I see it is up.

Now we are in for the fun stuff.

Obviously, Lois and Clark are going to have to go on the run and that means... disguises.

Lois will quickly find out that a wig won't work. Unless they are the ridiculously expensive ones that you would see in movies and are expertly put on by a Hollywood makeup artist wigs are obvious. Nearly anyone can tell if someone is wearing a wig and rather than help 'disguise' someone it has the opposite effect. It would draw more attention to the person and cause many to actually pay them more attention.

Thus, Lois will realize that to truly affect a disguise she'll have to take the plunge and cut her hair short. It's really the only logical thing to do... really.

Tank (who thinks it might be funny if Lois fell asleep while they were exposing Clark to the 'rods' and when she woke up he was... dead)

I counldn't wait to read part 25 after I saw it was up - not even long even to comment on 24

This was great (again) and you wrote Lois' emotions and reactions really well, especially the part about keeping it together to not fall completely apart.

The shock - Lois' thinking she had more time to get Clark out, having to expose him to the rods and it feeling like a betrayal and Clark' for finally being free (which I don't think he clearly grasped until he got out --- ok, I'm skipping ahead - will only hit later on.

I just read over your replies form part 22 and noticed I *could* have known beforehand of the updates. Oh well, this way it was a true surprise

I did wonder if she would be trying to sound practical and just establish that killing the alien herself would be the best way to deal with this.

Hmm... so what about Scardino and Menzies? Did Lois's boss just order her to terminate them, too? After all, as long as there's somebody breathing who knows about this, it won't be truly gone.

So much has already been said, I won't repeat it. An additional thought, though: I may just have this on my brain (don't know why ), but Lois reminding herself about the necessity of Clark's pain for the sake of his freedom, and her determination to comfort him with her presence sent my mind straight to a husband comforting his wife during labor--he can't stop the pain, which makes him feel helpless, but his very presence eases it for her. Poor Clark doesn't have the option of an epidural, though.

It's awful that Clark has to suffer, but one can hope that the suffering also contains an underlying strain of hope since it is not pointless, but rather suffering for a purpose. It also reminds me of that line in Hebrews, "who for the joy set before him endured the cross..." This has got to be better than the times Clark was tortured just for Trask and Moyne's sick amusement.

Off to watch the football (gridiron, as you'd say) playoffs. Two divisional championships today, then the two winners play each other in the Superbowl in two weeks.

Happy holiday!

MozartMaid

They got *out* safely in Bridge!

Elizabeth I guess a lot could have gone wrong - Moyne walking in while Lois was cutting a hole in Clark wouldn't have been good but I have other plans for them.

Joy Thanks. I'll take 'no words' as a compliment

Emily

The inevitable? I got them out without too many problems.

Because until now, he's tried to stay away - he doesn't like Moyne much either. Now, he decided that if he gave the orders, he should check that they are being carried out.

Bellarase I'm so glad you're still enjoying it.

Laura Yeah, but it could have been worse.

Tank

But if she went to a hairdresser, that would leave a clue to anyone tracking her. So, she would have to get Clark to do it ... that could be interesting!

I'm not sure everyone would find that scenario funny, Tank. But if you wrote it, I would read it.

DW In her job, I think Lois would have had times of 'holding it together'.

The shock ... yeah.

Michael

But that would be true about any operation - which is why, I imagine, they have confidentuality clauses in their contracts.

HappyGirl The similarities to a woman in labour occured to me, too.

I think it would have been better for Clark - for the reasons you give - and also because he knew that there would be an end.

Thanks so much for the great FDK. Trail 8 is written. I hope to get it edited and to the BRs and then get most of 9 written before I post Trail 1.
