Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK: Specimen S (5/18)

The moment you've all been hoping for...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Clark! This is excellent so far!

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, Clark is now with the Kents. We can all breathe a sigh of relief. And he's smart enough to know he can trust them with his secret, though the way Jonathan got rid of Trask really pushed Clark over that last hesitation. (Both to stay and to tell them about himself.) Remember, Trask is running a search for Clark. He has no evidence that he's really at the Kents. It was just bad luck that he wound up in the same place as Clark. Luckily, Super Jonathan took care of the problem.

There is a tiny time jump coming. Just a couple of weeks jump ahead really. I really did have fun popping all over the timeline.

And so Clark Kent was born.

Great chapter! Looking forward to Clark's new life.

What a nice first Christmas for S, well, until the mean old man who kidnapped him as a baby and abused him came looking for him. I love that S himself is enough a gift for the Kents. How sweet! And that he kept holding on to the football. His first toy.

It is so good we can now call him Clark. Martha was right that S is not even a proper name for an animal, let alone a person.

I am surprised that Trask made it here so fast. Maybe he figured Clark would be drawn back to his place of landing, or something like that. Jonathan was able to keep him out of the house.

Clark is safe for a little while. I am just afraid that Cameron will try to capture him again.

What Virginia said.

What John said.

I also am disturbed by the fact that Trask came to the Kent Farm so quickly. Do you have some underlying whammy waiting for us?

Thank you! Yes, thus begins the life of Clark Kent.

You may hate me for saying this, but I'm actually working on an even sadder Alt Clark for another story. Poor kid. Never has had a toy in his one. :

No, he doesn't. He was banking on just totally brainwashing Clark. And failed.

That was Jonathan being sneaky, testing to see what Trask would do and say.

Well, to be fair, I meant it more like Trask trying to discourage people from making contact with Clark. And if they did, oh well, gee, poor disturbed kid is making up stories about the evil Trask-man.

Okay, I was actually thinking it is a simple matter of math. They know Clark had run at X miles per hour. He can usually run for Y time before needing to take a break. So that would give him Z travel time/miles covered, giving them rough ideas of the radius he could be in. Fanning out members of B39 would cut down on the search time. Luck would put Trask in the right place at the right time, as he could have easily gone searching in the opposite direction, and sent Jenson looking in the Kent's area.

Yup. Totally helpful.



I actually didn't touch on whether or not he meets Lana in this universe. You'll see why. I didn't think it really needed to go there, is basically what it boiled down to. Yes, he does have a lot of catch-up to play. Luckily for him, the Kents are up to the task!

Soon!

Hi, John! Yes, it is nice to call him by his proper name now. As, I wrote to Virginia, it was a combo of math and bad luck that put Trask on the Kent's doorstep. And of course, you know he'll never stop looking.

Nope, no whammy planned. Although, I *will* say that not everything is peaches and cream from here on out. But all the toys get put back into the toybox at the end, some a little worse for wear.

I described my thought process above as to why Trask was on the Kent's farm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi DC,

Good idea!

Poor boy! He really needs Martha and Jonathan.

Yes, me too!

I like that Jonathan is calling him "son".



SuperMartha!

Hiya, Sydney! </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

Tempus told him.

She'll join the story...eventually.

/waits for white-clad special forces to come racing through the snow on their snow speeders/

/waits for him to make snow angels. Or write his name/

Well, he *has* been groomed as leader.

Well, I’m sure it won’t be worse than what the Tickler would do.

A hard bed to strengthen the spirit.



This is going to be fun, when he has a similar issue after meeting Lois

You know, what will happen when Trask visits the Sheriff and learns that the Kents found an orphan in their shed?

Oh. Oh my! And here I thought he was looking for S but its Jason who ran away! He was meant for them but the neighbor picked up the package and never returned it.







/fast forwards to The Pilot/

That is what I figured. Actually, I mainly figured it was Trask trying to get people to stay away from him.

Thinking about the math though, wouldn't that put Trask somewhere totally different, since Clark could be way further away. Or did they start at the theoretical end point when they found him missing, and then work back toward the base?

Well, at least there wasn't three horn blasts for White Walkers.

<nods> To keep people away and to immediately discredit Clark in case people did *not* keep their distance.

Of course, Clark could either be further away than the Kents, or possibly closer to B39 if he stopped and laid low. But they would probably know at least some of Clark's thought processes, since they trained him. So he would want to get away from B39, not stop when close by. He would be trained to not leave a trail, so he probably would have holed up someplace while it snowed. And patrols around the B39 compound would give them a time frame of when he escaped, since the would know that Jenson last saw him at, say 6pm, and the guards found him missing at 9pm.
