Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: And the Truth Will Set You… (8/14))

I hope everyone is enjoying the story. I should know the final length by the time I post the next part. I'm betting on 14, but we'll see.

Comments?

Exciting chapter. Love Lois' confusion about Clark - forgetting he was "Superman" when he was shot. How like Lex to arrange to kill the man who inadvertantly shot Lois.

I don't know much about how kryptonite works. Are we to assume that exposure to the first bullets weakened his body to allow penetration by the subsequent ones? Did the bullets go all the way through his body? Yet if they did, his body would most likely start to heal on its own. It seems like continuous exposure to kryptonite, even in small doses, would be more dangerous to him than his bullet wounds. Sorry, I'm one of those people who overthinks these things.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Oh noes! Clark has been shot!!!

This is a bit of a cliffy but I am enjoying this story so much! Can't wait to read the next part

Yup, definitely enjoying the story! At least Lois didn't let slip C=S while struggling with her grogginess. That would have been real trouble! Looking forward to the next part!

Oh dear, oh dear. That's a most interesting development Plus, about 6 more parts! Can't wait for more!

This part was really great!

I am eagerly awaiting for the next part and to hear what happens to Superman!

Wow! Great part! But poor Clark! So glad those nurses bought the excuse that Lois was too drugged to know most of what she was saying re Clark. Whew!

Can't wait for more!

Great chapter. I loved Lois's after surgery grogginess. Very nice. Looking forward to more.

We are moving forward. I was able to spend some non-trivial time working on the story this past weekend so I think I can keep up the posting schedule of roughly every 6 days. I wish I could go faster but that just hasn’t been in the cards this time.

One note: Did anyone notice the reference to the guy who was his own mother and father? That’s from Robert Heinlein’s classic (and somewhat dark) All You Zombies


Joan:
Re: Lois’s confusion coming out of anesthesia. I used to work in a hospital and some patients were very confused when they first woke up. A lot depended on the individual. Most of the nurses I knew didn’t think twice about any odd thing a patient might say. At least, that’s how I remember it. (It was a LONG time ago.)

Re: Kryptonite: I have an explanation for exactly what happened but for now all I can say if RAFO.


Bellarase:
You know, when I finished this chapter, it was so much less of a cliffhanger than Ch. 7 that I never noticed. Sorry about that. Ch. 9 should be along before too long.


mozartmaid:
Thanks. And fuzzy thinking can certainly be dangerous.


Michael:
Sorry about the time sequence confusion. The correct sequence was that Lex watched it all straight through in real time and then went back and re-watched the more – enjoyable parts (for Lex anyway) – at his leisure. Remember that there were several hours between the shooting and the scene with Mrs. Cox. He had time to absorb the news of Lois getting shot but still enjoy the Superman sequence. I’ll need to clean this up before the story gets archived.

As for the delay, a quick retribution would lessen the blow. A properly timed response is the pain that keeps on giving. As for looking like there was no response from the Boss, in the end, a delayed act is very effective. Anyone thinking to cross the Boss would always be looking over the shoulder knowing that just because there was not an immediate reply didn’t mean that one wasn’t coming.


DW:
Thank you. It won’t be too long.


EvelynC:
Dr. Klein. Hmmm. :rolleyes:


Gwen:
Hi, Gwen. Welcome to the boards. I hope you find lots here to enjoy. Thank you for leaving a note and I’m glad you are enjoying the story.


Bob

Thanks for clearing it up, Bob.
True. Just so long nobody takes it as a lack of care or capability and just topples him in the months in between
