Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Trusting Me, Trusting You 3:Trail (7/?)

Thanks!!

Corrina.

Well, Menzies is definitely distracted ... but Moyne is all too focused on his revenge. Though I'm not sure how he's going to both find out about Lois and not give away the fact that he's in Metropolis. Does he not remember that he was supposed to check in for information on his assignment? Or does he just not care?

But one thing I do know -- Moyne might be an agent, but so is Lois, and since she knew she was going to be on the run, I'm sure she took steps to cover her tracks. She was expecting Scardino and Menzies to chase after her; would Moyne be any better at it than they would? I hope not.

As for L&C, I liked how his poem made its return (beautiful) and how we got to learn a little more about our heroes. Clark was very sweet, wanting to take Lois out to eat.

More, please! I'm still delighted every time I stalk ... er, visit the boards to find a new chapter.

OH I like the new lead in. Again a lot has taken place in this part of the story. We know now what M and M are thinking. We see hope seeping through Clark's thoughts. Lois is getting through to him I think. How sad for him to pass his home and not be able to stop there. Hopefully that will change quickly. Great job! I will look forward to more soon! Laura

gah !! Moyne!! I hope Menzies redeems himself by taking care of that loose end.

Very nice! , and Menzies' thoughts and feelings are very interesting-- almost gives the idea that he may seek redemption for his past deeds in some way. Hmmm... Lots to ponder and do we love to ponder!

Uh-oh... what will Moyne do??

Another lovely chapter building L & C's relationship. And I hope they do find Martha! But where could she be??

Perhaps Clark could eventually live in peace, but could he ever become Superman in this world?
...maybe?

Another wonderful, now-my-favorite part!

I love how stopping for dinner became a date--and the comment about how both of them were hoping it would be the first of many. It's so realistic and heart-wrenching to see how even the smallest acts have to be comprehended and learned all over again by Clark.

Lois's thoughts about how she wants Clark to love her for herself and not because she rescued him was amazing--so reminiscent of our Clark's wish for Lois to love him for himself and not for the Superman rescues. She's displaying so much wisdom in the way she deals with him, and of course, Lois Lane's usual penchant for accepting Clark's powers.

The question-and-answer session was very enlightening, revealing a lot about each of our favorite characters. It's nice to see them bonding in ways beyond rescue and running. The poem was just beautiful, and completely indicative of his thoughts and Lois's personality. The statement about Lois being able to will the impossibility into reality was perfect, especially since it was thought by a man who daily does the impossible!

I love the two traits Lois noticed first about Clark--it perfectly describes his character.

I can't wait to read the rest and see Clark defeat Moyne and Lois rescue Clark from his feelings of isolation! Thanks!

Yeah, uh-oh is right. Moyne is going to cause trouble - what exactly, remains unknown And even though Menzies is distracted, I don't think he can be ruled out just yet.

But the parts with L&C was sweet and I, too, liked how their diner dinner became a date - but now I'm all curious about the conversation you hinted at in part 8!!!

Oh, I just thought of something -it would be so funny if Martha was working at some diner they would stop at in their future travels - wouldn't that be just a sweet reunion?

As always, looking forward to the next part

You're dropping so many hints by keeping it vague, which is very much in character for Menzies. But still, I can't help but wonder if it really could be the same facility were Lois's father is. It depends, I guess, if Phoebe is actually in a psychiatric facility. *sigh* so much speculation

Glad Laura smacking your muse around helped

Can't wait for more!

Michael

I cant help but wonder if Phoebe is aware of what type of man her nephew is.

Kathy

When you've gotten away with at least two murders, a little thing like not being on your assignment is probably not a huge concern for him.

Please keep stalking

Laura

Well put!

Joy Menzies and Moyne ... what can I say? I haven't finished with either of them yet - although that was probably obvious, huh?

Evelyn I'm glad you like progress. I bore easily, so I have to keep it moving.

MozartMaid I have some answers to your questions. Some are still simmering!

AntiK

I'm really sorry that I can't explain why this is such a delightful comment, but it is.

You gave so much lovely FDK, but this comment made my day!

DW

Sweet - and probably stretching believability just a little. It's a nice idea, though.

Michael

Sam had a stroke, Phoebe attempted suicide. I'm not sure they would end up in the same care facility. Just saying ...

You want him bussed? Just like Trask?

Well ... now that you mention it ...

But Lois could hardly give details - they're in a public place!

SJH I haven't written anything from Phoebe's POV, so we're not really sure what she's thinking. It's an interesting point, though!


Thanks everyone. I've just sent 16 to the BRs. Latest estimate is 20-22 parts for Trail. Story 4 is called 'Highway'.

I have a really busy weekend, so I'm not sure when I'll get the chance to post Part 8. It *could* be Saturday morning, but if not, it won't be until Sunday afternoon/evening.

Now this is the smartest version of Clark yet! Yay for MU! Naturally, he would rather be a Tiger than one of those Jayhawks.

I'm glad you clarified that point, because I immediately thought of Columbia University in New York. That would have given Clark some big city experience. But maybe New York doesn't exist in this universe.

I was reading the FDK-FDK and realized I hadn't replied yet... oops! I must have dreamed that I had.

Moyne! Argh. I'm so glad Lois and Clark got the heck out of Metropolis. Not that I think they can't take him, but the image of him lurking around Lois' apartment was extremely unsettling. I hope that guarding the 'alien' for 7 years made his skills rustier than he realizes. He needs to be taken out sooner rather than later. I second the 'bussing' motion.

The Lois/Clark of this update was again fabulous. So nice that b/c of Clark's handiwork for the nursing home, he was able to pay for their date. I really enjoyed the background we learned about each of them. Can't wait to see more, especially given the preview!

Moyne walking around Lois's apartment was downright creepy. So different from when Lois went to the Kent household! Of course, she was there with Clark's permission, and entirely different motives, but it still struck me as interesting the different mood that accompanied each instance of what was basically the same action - a spy breaking into someone's house and snooping around.

Cute how Lois took Clark's disappearing and reappearing in stride. And all while the car was moving. hehe. They are so cute together.

Robin The whole US college system is a mystery to me. However, I needed something safe and normal for them to discuss. I did some research and hoped that my ignorance wouldn't be too obvious.

And I chose Missouri because it's near Kansas

Happy Eek! I didn't know there was a Columbia University in NY. You're right, this Clark hasn't had much big-city experience.

(Well, he lived in Metropolis for seven years, but that doesn't count )

Emily Moyne getting bussed seems to be gaining popularity.

Vicki Nice point about the two similar - yet different - scenes.

Thanks so much for the FDK
