Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Wrong Clark (54/??)

there is nothing I can say. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yep. You've said it all.

I didn't say that. I said, no Lana SEX flashbacks.

I've said enough on the subject (back in Part 5, I believe).

I did Claude in GEM. Scratched him off my list... er... I didn't mean that as it sounded. I mean I WROTE about Claude in GEM.

Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment. We've got enough jerks in this story with Lex and Ralph (and a lunkhead named Clark).

CLARK: Hey! I resemble that remark!

Possibly.

Don't worry, Lois and Trask will meet up.



Okay, I'm officially caught up with FDK. Time to post the new part...

Either that or he was still high on Lois.



Well, Lois likes to be on top of things, so…

Plus, it’s all his own doing.

I’m guessing, as long as her body lies in his bed, that’s all fair and good.



FRISKIN: And how long did you have these self-sabotaging urges?


JIMMY: Wish I knew.
LOIS: ICK.
LANA: It pays the bills.
CLARK: What what feels like?

You mean, like special equipment, candles, multiple person arrangements?

Not helping.

She goes out one night and wakes up the next morning, naked and with a headache?

Well, then she’ll just have to try, and try again. It did work for Lana, didn’t it?

With child?

They could also wait until she’s less likely to conceive due to the position of the moon relative to her birthday.

She’s taking care of the important bits.

What about Russion spy satellites trying keep taps on the alien invader?



/imagines him standing at the pharmacy counter, looking embarrassed and very sheepish, as he points and mumbles while the pharmacist looks at him with scorn and packs a Bible into the bag with the condoms/

So, no accidental x-ray vision usage then?




Years later: “I’m sorry, Lana. I don’t know what’s wrong. The motor just won’t start.”

Michael

Michael: Yea! It's the weekend.



CLARK: I'm okay with her wherever she wants to be around me.

Pretty much.



CLARK: Um... ever since I met Lois, so... carry the one... almost two years.

FRISKIN: <checking notes> Didn't you say that you just started at the Daily Planet in the spring?

CLARK: Er... um... yeah. Darn, math. I meant 6 months.

I don't think they tell farm kids that the dog / cat went to live on a farm.

No, it just felt like that. The Harrises turned the Irigs over to children services and tried to have Thomas taken away from his folks.

RACHEL: Hmmmm. So, precautions are a good thing. Yes, you definitely bring the condoms.

EW: What? You thought she'd want to change her mind?

Mmmmmm. Close. No, I'm sorry. I cannot accept that answer. Try again.

Not yet.



LANA: Get a grip. It wasn't *so* bad.

That's the one.

They could be there's only a few days left before they head off for college.

RACHEL:

Well, kind of. The real floating comes later.

RACHEL: Duh!

RACHEL: When you said you'd lose control, this isn't exactly what I thought would happen.

Now that you mention it, the NKers arrive in canon between the first and second time canon Lois and alt-Clark meet up. If alt-Zara wanted alt-Kal-El, there really wasn't anything (alt-Lois) holding him to alt-dimension, was there? So, why not go? I'm guessing the NKers haven't arrived yet, or arrived a few years early and didn't like the man Lana had made Clark into...

CHING: He wouldn't make a good lord. He cannot even stand up to his concubine of a girlfriend.

ZARA: That's not necessarily a *bad* trait.

CHING: <Looks at the envy in Zara's eyes, and know he's lost her forever, because he'd never let her boss him around like that. Needs to make a drastic move> He'd never be able to defend himself against an attack from Nor.

ZARA: <sadly> Yes, you're right. Never mind. On to plan B.

CHING: <knowing he's Plan B>

Yes, but in alt-dimension Thomas is working at a video store in Wichita, while Rachel is in Smallville as sheriff.



He's more of a "the glass is between full and empty" sort of guy. Here, he's just lying to himself (since it works so well with others, he thought he might try to use it on himself.)

CLARK: A bit.



Right now, currently cushion is at 8 parts, so staying as is... of course, I've got houseguests arriving in a few hours for 10 days... soooooooo... We'll see. The NEXT part (57) will definitely be on-time and full.

Okay, I know I shouldn't do this, but since it wasn't obvious to either of my Betas (even AFTER I added the more telling part of Clark buying the beer), or any of my Readers, I'll try to spell it out and see if it hits any of you over the head.

Back in alt-dimension, while spending the first summer after college, where did Clark go when he wanted to "relax"? Where his cares seemed to melt away? It was like all the stresses of his life "didn't matter" anymore.

He brought Rachel to join him at Shuster's field, and planned on telling her some of these things that weighed him down (but not necessarily the whole truth).

After spending the evening star watching in Shuster's field, Clark easily agrees to Rachel's suggestion to "do it", even though he had never thought of her in that way before.

He broke the law to buy beer (in Texas even!) and didn't CARE.

Clark even used his heat vision in front of Rachel and floated her above the ground so she'd be more comfortable. <<i.e. not scared of using his powers in front of her>>

It had felt like he felt (currently) on Green Kryptonite, slow, dumb, DRUGGED, only without the pain or the loss of his powers.

With Lana it wasn't as good as he remembered it had been with Rachel. Thinking back to his time with Rachel had this dream-like nostalgic feeling to it.

Thinking back on that time of his life, he didn't understand WHY he made the decisions he had.

Do you still think Clark agreed to it because of the way he was brought up?

In my Canadian expertise, I can tell you that everywhere in Canada has a 19+ drinking age, with the only exception being Quebec. Quebec is 18.

Smoking is also 19 here to purchase, however, you can legally smoke at 18, but it's illegal to sell/give to anyone under 19. Figure THAT one out!

But as you pointed out when I emailed you about this earlier, how would a Farm Boy from Kansas, who doesn't drink, know the drinking age in Canada?

Exactly. Truly, unless you're nearby, nobody really knows this Quebec loophole.

Peobably true. Lois going to the Kerths with Clark near the start of Season 2 was not technically a date either, since they are able to have their "almost first date" later on, so of course line dancing in Smallville was not a date.

I think the former. Of course that means that Clark has been shooting himself in the foot a lot more than what we saw in PML. No wonder Lois was shocked with his not being willing to fully express his love for him in BatP, after all their flying dates and what not.

And then in season 2 we get "Church of Metropolis" where Superman does "real dancing" with Lois. What, has Clark decided at that point to live having two girlfriends, one for SM and one for CK? OK, maybe he has not fully accepted Mayson as a girlfriend, but still.

I had forgotten about them doing the Monique Kahn follow up. Still, that is tagged as "yesterday" to when Lois found the message from Martha. I guess that being Tuesday or Wednesday works, but there is no clear indication. I guess I was also assuming Cat would head to "fashion week" on Sunday, but I guess that was a wrong assumption on my part.

Sadly, had to catch up with other stuff and so I’m backlogged with reading.





So, ‘he got turned into supper’? Or, he got sent to the Big City?



Nope. Blankets. Important. Prevent back-sores.






RACHEL: Thanks, Dad. Thanks a lot.



/points/ Not overly patient teenager.

I vote for the longer installments. Although I hope your buffer keeps ahead of you so you can keep posting frequently.

Well, so far I have not said they got married in a shotgun wedding. Actually since they have only been married two years in 1993, and their child is only 1, well it probably was not a shotgun wedding. I just remembered that they are in a deviation off of alt-wrold, so Martha is supposed to be dead. I guess I will have to revise my story so there is no Martha.

I think I will also increase how long Clark and Rachel have been married. Let's see, Rachel graduated in 1985, and the story happens in the fall of 1993. Well, at least it is fall 1993 when we start, but that is in canon demesnion, or a replica, and then Tempus kipnapps Lois, so since he is crossing dimensions and moving Lois from Metropolis to Smallville, he might change time as well. I will have to think about this more.

Of course this only helps alt-Clark if alt-demension Canada has the same laws.

Anyway, if Mr. Harris had realized Clark gave beer to Rachel, this fact would not have helped his case. A-because he would be hard pressed to claim he had gone to Canada to get beer without revealing more about himself than he wants to, b-if they could make a case for corrupting a minor (hard when Rachel is 18, but that would not stop Mr. Harris from trying) it would not matter if Clark had legally purchased the alchohol at all.

Wait, was Clark suffering from red-Kryptonite poisoning?

I knew Canada had a lower drinking age, despite being a Mormon who does not drink, but I also grew up North of Canada, that is in Michigan about 15 miles from the border, so I had friends and associates who would regularly cross the border to take advantage of the lower drinking age.

I doubt many people who live more than an hours drive from the border would know about the different drinking age issue.

However now that I see Clark just did not care if he got caught, it makes even more sense that he would not bother to go to Canada, even if he had somehow picked up the lower drinking age there.

You meant with the Superman PML Kiss?

If they had indeed had been having private "flying" dates that did not include "rescues", then I'd have to agree with you here. I doubt that would have been the case though. I think if Lois and Superman had more real dates (i.e. "flying" dates) then she would have gotten more comfortable around him (per my story. ) and stop being so gaspy female.

No, I don't think Clark saw himself as "dating Mayson" while Superman "dated Lois". I believe the dancing bit at the end of that episode was just Clark's way of finally dancing with the woman he had WANTED to dance with the entire time.

Even if actual days of the week weren't mentioned, they were still considered by the author.

But... but... but... then you won't know what's going on. Time to call in sick. No? Darn. Okay, who told Michael he could have a real life? Clark? <<roll eyes>> How did I guess?

Yep. Sorry, Clark, Krypto moved to Hollywood to become a star.



Yes, but that was the *70s* Show, this was mid-1980s, drinking age must have changed (due to too many drunk Americans going over the border).



RACHEL: In that case, Where's my brother?

Perry?

Or maybe we should just tell Tempus he can have it now?

Maybe.

DR FRISKIN: <jotting notes, draws sailboat> I think you'll need me a long, long time.

LOIS: Hey! You're supposed to be the good therapist!

DR. FRISKIN: Ha! <<rips off mask to show that she's really Dr. Carlin>>

LOIS:

DR CARLIN: <<Rips off mask to reveal Jimbo>>

JIMMY: Man, Jimbo. You're smooth. You got Lois good.

EW: That Clark loves you.

LOIS: He does?

Hopefully, I won't fall too far behind. I'm estimating slowing to two posts a week.
