This has been a compelling and interesting story so far.
With the rescue of altLois everything changes from the direction I had originally thought it might take.
Looking forward to more.
Tank (who hopes the altLois will have time to get her hair trimmed to a more suitable Lois style)

She should have been suspicious when the marriage license had had the name Lois Lane instead of Lola Dane.
“Typo,” Lex had told her. “We’ll fix it later.” I had to laugh and laugh at this line.

Laura: Yes, alt-Lois is not canon Lois. She's had different life experiences that for some reason made her go off in the different direction than canon Lois. But her heart, her true self, is edited for possible spoilage as we will eventually see. Tank: Yes, alt-Lois will be getting a haircut, not soon, but Edited Spoiler info eventually. Enough of a spoiler, I think.  Iolanthe: It makes their 'marriage' a bit more legit, too.

I like the backstory you've created as to why Lois got involved with Luther. Deception and extreme circumstances would have to be involved.
Great to have alt-Lois and alt-Clark together!

Awwwwww  and  Damn Lex Jr and that mind control device he had used on her. Spying on her using her own eyesight, that was pretty darn low. So, Lex Jr. had watched Lois in the shower? And watched his naked Daddy from Lois's POV? Eeewwwww! He wouldn’t ever sweep her off her feet and carry her off into the sunset. Hmm... Actually, he did. He hadn’t rescue her from Lex, anyway. She really doesn't know. And definitely meow. She didn’t stay there long, since she figured an open flame and blindness were a bad combo for her. What had happened in the world since Lex had her blinded and refused to read the news to her? He hadn’t even allowed her television, the monster. News to Lois was like food for a normal person. She was starving. Hmm... Clever tactic. And considering later: Duh! /slaps head/ They all just wanted a woman for sex. Wham! Bam! Thank you, Ma’am. Actually, the 'Thank you' is only requisite with the better mannered gentlemen. But I'm sure Clark Kent would send her a gift-basket and a 'thank-you' card.

She really should hide them, so no one else would steal them. She had been guarding them so long, they felt like her ‘babies.’ Awwwww She bent over and slid the bag under the bed and put down the bedskirt again. That would do for now. It did work for Lex. Although, he likely knew and didn't care. After all, where would she go. he desperately wanted to get rid of this numbness that had come over her since she realized that she would never get her chance with Clark Kent – her personal hero – because he was married. Oh, so she only goes after the unattached ones? She hadn’t really been ‘married’ to Lex since she read that first article in the Daily Planet written by Clark Kent. So, very short honeymoon? Since she vanished only three or so months before Clark started. Lois heard a door open and shut downstairs. He had been gone for what felt like hours. She was getting worried. Hadn’t he said that he would be right back with Lola? Since he could travel around the world in minutes, she had thought a few minutes would be a few minutes. Does Lex have Kryptonite? His head moved from her shoulder to her chest Wow, she's getting cozy fast! “Right.” She chuckled. “You’ve got me there. But Lex always told me it was temporary, reversible. I never admit I’m wrong, even when I am.  Michael

Joan: I must thank MozartMaid for the inclusion of Alt-Lois's backstory. Originally, I was just going to drip and drab it bit by bit into the story. MM insisted I tell it upfront. Michael: Bring on Alt-Lois.   Yes, that's one of my favorite lines in all of ML, too. No Dark Side of ML. Sometimes one's imagination is more creative than words on a screen.

Yep, too bad nobody is a divorce attorney in this story. Yep. OTOH, Lex might just have an accident, dropping out of mid-air. Something like that. He knew that Alt-Lois hated him for what he had done to her father, so could he convince a woman who hated him to marry him. Huh. I didn't know she knew? Even serial-monogamists have standards. Wealthy. Cultured. Un-wed. Michael
