Although since he did kill a man, maybe he can. And which man did Luthor kill again?  <This sounds like a specific reference> I meant that general people and things that appear in a work of fiction matter, and totally extraneous things don't matter. I thought they went over-board with repeating characters in "Soul Mates" myself. The only overboard they went was with Jimmy's "Soul Mate" who they never showed again after he asked her out on a date. <<Oh, no! Jimbo the serial killer! And we were all so worried about Tempus.>> Maybe I should have called it the straw that broke the camel's back. However that was probably his reaction to Lois telling him that there was a leak in his power plant. I'll let you decide if that was the straw or what happens next will be.  I am just glad that Lois is not jealous of Mrs. Cox's connection to Luthor. I think she came off as such in BatP and FotHoL. Well, Lois was marrying Lex, and Mrs. Cox was acting as if it didn't matter, because she and Lex would continue to be intimate. I think Lois had every right to hate her for flaunting this information into Lois's face. I'm surprised that she caved after getting Lex to say he'd fire her. <<Probably why Mrs. Cox turned on him in the end.>> I try to surprsess any memory of Lois dating Lex.  Well, she was only doing it to make Superman jealous. Clark: And this time I am not part of the wrongness. Clark: That sounds logical. However, should we trust Luthor to make public how many people are at his orphanage. It undermines his ability to run discreat tests on them that might result in death. You're right, but since he delegates the running of the Luthor House to others, who might not be so devious... <<happy dance>> again for Lois rejecting Luthor. Anything to make a Reader happy. Well, within reason. This is the inverse of the odinary man speach. The ordinary man speach is "SM, I would love you the same even if you were an ordinary man." This is "Lex I would react differently to you if you were an ordinary man". Hmmmm. I guess you're right. Although I meant with that comparison the implication (because here the Reader knows she's not saying that) that she'd be still love him if he were an ordinary man. Clark: I will let Lex get this ordinary man speach, I don't want to hear Lois tell me this, in or out of the suit.
Lois: I chose out of the suit, wait, no I did not say that, I am not implying I want to see you in less clothing.
Clark: The audience does not think "unclothed" when they see "Clark out of the suit".
Lois: Huh? Why?
Clark: Well, I could tell you, but then the EW would not have any more fun writing dialogue where we speak around each other. I don't know. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e025.gif) Lois has a good point. Superman doesn't wear much under his super suit.  LOIS: It was just that one time. Or was that the second time?Clark: Well, it depends how we define "sleep" and "together". However we have only once slept both of us in the same bed. Hmmmm. Nope, I'm thinking it was the second time... <<searches story>> Back from when Allie died... After months of little to no physical contact between her and Superman, just this little touch from Clark sent fireworks up her arm, but she could handle it. She hadn’t kissed Clark the night before, and he hadn’t kissed her. Sure, she had fallen asleep in his arms on the couch and he had carried her to his bed to sleep. He had taken off her shoes, tucked her under his blankets, and kissed her cheek goodnight, but that was all. If she hadn’t taken hold of his arm and asked him to stay with her, she knew he would have slept on the couch. Even so, he stayed on top of the covers with her underneath. He had been a perfect gentleman, and she hadn’t jumped his bones. She could do this. Yep, second time they spent the night together. Lois: I do not have to answer to Lex for whether or not I am dating Clark. Why am I even telling him this much? She's trying not to be rude. Reader: I know that. I am just pointing it out, hoping that Lois will take notice of it.
Lois: I am begining to wonder why Lex has been gathering so much information about me. Actually, she's wondering why Lex is so interested in *Clark's* activities Reader: Will this Lois be properly creeped out by Lex having a facsimile of her apartment in ASU, or will we not get there? We'll have to see if Herb arrives before then or not, and what he says regarding Clark. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e015.gif) Lois: Relative to your income, you have never done such. It means more coming from Clark because he has to work longer to afford the lunch. Yes, offering her lunch at the restaurant he owns isn't quite the same thing. Reader: Clark, I think you need to accept that it is happier than it is. Lois will trust you, now just tell her the truth already. CLARK: But Herb could arrive at any moment and tell me it's time to go save Lois's True Clark. How is this happy? Hmmmm. It seems as if John really liked that scene from a couple of parts ago. I hope he doesn't self-combust when PML starts in a part or two. I was going to ask for clarification, but I decided I really did not want to understand. On the other hand, since Santa was not wearing glasses, he couln't possibly be Clark, now could he? That was her findings in "Jolly St. Clark". Oh course now, there is no better time than the present. It would be a perfect Christmas, and a righting to all the wrongness Luthor has introduced into it. You’ll have to read Part 70 to find out. <<I was going to mention it, then I remembered that this was the FDK for 69>>

It makes sense to me. I also think you went with the logical balance between Luthor's awfulness on the one hand, and the fact that even Luthor can't get away with too open outrages on the other. Although since he did kill a man, maybe he can. And which man did Luthor kill again? <This sounds like a specific reference> Menken. I believe he is the only person Luthor is publicly known to have killed. Although, I guess Luthor only shot him in this universe, so maybe I am confused. Yes, w know Luthor was responsibile for instigating his death, but I guess publicly there is no evidence that the shooting caused the death, since it probably didn't, so I guess I was speaking a bit out of line, confussed by canon, and inprecsion and other such things. Maybe I should have called it the straw that broke the camel's back. However that was probably his reaction to Lois telling him that there was a leak in his power plant. I'll let you decide if that was the straw or what happens next will be. Well, good point. It did not motive Lois to actually proactively investigate Luthor. Well, Lois was marrying Lex, and Mrs. Cox was acting as if it didn't matter, because she and Lex would continue to be intimate. I think Lois had every right to hate her for flaunting this information into Lois's face. I'm surprised that she caved after getting Lex to say he'd fire her. <<Probably why Mrs. Cox turned on him in the end.>> I guess it never really made sense to me why Lois would want to marry Luthor. He saying "I can't" at the altar was one of the few logical things in that regard she did. I am surprised the whole Mrs. Cox manner was not a bigger turn off to Lois. I guess there is a reason why there are stories in the archive where Lois ends her engagement to Luthor when she catches him with Mrs. Cox being much more than friendly. Clark: That sounds logical. However, should we trust Luthor to make public how many people are at his orphanage. It undermines his ability to run discreat tests on them that might result in death. You're right, but since he delegates the running of the Luthor House to others, who might not be so devious... Lois: Plus, I have to start somewhere. If the head claims that there are only as many children at the house as recieved presents, I will know he is lieing because Jack didn't. If he gives me any number greater than that of those who recieved presents, I have something to go with on their limited disbursement of presents. It might not be the whole story, but it is somewhere to start. <<happy dance>> again for Lois rejecting Luthor. Anything to make a Reader happy. Well, within reason. He Lois is not dating Luthor, she wants to be with Clark. OK, it could be better, but it could be a whole lot worse. We are about at canon, more or less. Lois and Clark have had more highs and lows, but they are roughly at the same spot. Canon Clark: I like "Jolly St. Clark" better though, Lois kisses me. Hmm, he might have a point. Still, they are pretty close to the same spot. Clark: I will let Lex get this ordinary man speach, I don't want to hear Lois tell me this, in or out of the suit.
Lois: I chose out of the suit, wait, no I did not say that, I am not implying I want to see you in less clothing.
Clark: The audience does not think "unclothed" when they see "Clark out of the suit".
Lois: Huh? Why?
Clark: Well, I could tell you, but then the EW would not have any more fun writing dialogue where we speak around each other. I don't know. Lois has a good point. Superman doesn't wear much under his super suit. Lois: Superman? When did he come into this discussion? We were talking about Clark taking off his suit. LOIS: It was just that one time. Or was that the second time?Clark: Well, it depends how we define "sleep" and "together". However we have only once slept both of us in the same bed. Hmmmm. Nope, I'm thinking it was the second time... <<searches story>> Back from when Allie died... They slept together in the same bed back then, I forgot. I was mainly thinking of when Clark slept in the chair, sort of holding Lois sleeping in bed, the night Luthor shot her. After months of little to no physical contact between her and Superman, just this little touch from Clark sent fireworks up her arm, but she could handle it. She hadn’t kissed Clark the night before, and he hadn’t kissed her. Sure, she had fallen asleep in his arms on the couch and he had carried her to his bed to sleep. He had taken off her shoes, tucked her under his blankets, and kissed her cheek goodnight, but that was all. If she hadn’t taken hold of his arm and asked him to stay with her, she knew he would have slept on the couch. Even so, he stayed on top of the covers with her underneath. He had been a perfect gentleman, and she hadn’t jumped his bones. She could do this. Yep, second time they spent the night together. Hmm, maybe I will have to reread the whole story so I do not miscount the number of times they have slept together. Lois: I do not have to answer to Lex for whether or not I am dating Clark. Why am I even telling him this much? She's trying not to be rude. Lois: Oh, right, Luthor does have some influence in this city. Still, he is making it very hard not to be rude to him. He is not really heading my wishes at all. Lois: Relative to your income, you have never done such. It means more coming from Clark because he has to work longer to afford the lunch. Yes, offering her lunch at the restaurant he owns isn't quite the same thing. Lois: When you put it that way, especially since it was during the time he does a private eat there anyway, so I don;t even cut into his potential profits by being there since there are none, Clark's date dinner seems to represent caring about me even more. Especially since he got me things he does not like eating, something Lex would never think to do.

Yep, Clark's gifts meant more... especially since Lex sent over the bouquet of red roses, before "replacing" them with other flowers.

“Is now,” he replied, glancing at her outstretched hand, as if she were weird. “I’m Denny.” Huh, what’s he doing here? She was glad that Lex wouldn’t go so far as to hire actors for this strange party. Very strange. What if one of those kids steals the reporter’s money? His brow furrowed in thought. “About a month. My brother, Jack and I came here after the weather turned cold.” Odder and odder. She turned in time to see the last chocolate covered strawberry disappear. Her stomach growled with approval. Those go well with champagne, a Jacuzzi and a Clark in swim trunks. Denny replied, reaching across the table and grabbing a chocolate covered strawberry off the plate of a pre-teen girl, who had taken five, and handed it to Lois Figuring that she would seem rude if she didn’t accept the gift, she opened the box and found an ornate, jeweled watch inside. Not even a pearl necklace? “No, no! I insist that you keep it, Lois,” Lex said, refusing to allow her to return it. “I had it made especially for you.” Uuukay? She took another look at the chunky green and red crystals, which adorned the watch.  Let’s keep Clark away from those, shall we. Otherwise he might slobber all over Lois during the PML incident. And Lois would slobber right back. And…huh… What have we been taking about again? Maybe she could re-gift it to her mother, who was apt to despise the scarf Lois had bought her and let Lois know as much. That way, Clark will never warm to his mother in law. “Anyway, I’d be worried about getting mugged in this neighborhood for such a watch, Lex.” She would never put on that hideous thing. Another Lex was much less tacky with a Kryptonite studded wedding band. “Lex! What are you doing? Think of the children!” she pleaded, moving to the side along the wall and further away from him. “I saw Mommy kissing Santa tonight”? Was that why he had moved her here, not so he could speak with her privately or distract her from her inquiries, but to kiss her? Nah, never. Either way, his kiss had been unwelcome and unacceptable. That’s what her new steel-capped knee-protectors are for that Clark got her for Christmas. It had to do with the fact that she knew she would be brushing her teeth as soon as she returned to Daily Planet to get the taste of bile out of her mouth. Maybe if she had thrown up all over Lex? “That’s true, I was. So, you’re rejecting me for purely professional reasons?” He’s not paying enough? Yes, then she wouldn’t be holding back how much she was growing to dislike and despise him. You mean, it would be like when Ralph tried that thing with the slobber? “All work and no play, makes for some very lonely nights, Lois, does it not? I have learned that,” He had indeed. A chill crept down her spine. There had been something recently in the news about a secret relationship that had gone badly but, for the life of her, she couldn’t remember what it was. Ooooh! Ooooh! She hated to knee the man of honor at his own party in front of thirty-six kids, but she would if he tried anything. Oooooh! Ooooh!

Lois ran down the damp sidewalk, through the crisp night’s air, hoping that she wasn’t crazy, that this vision she had seen wasn’t insanity. After reading the FDK and rereading this bit, things finally click with Jolly St. Clark. At first I just thought she was going for memories form Season 2. When the smoke cleared, she saw a pair of black boots hit the ground with a thud. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/xmas/a100.gif) As he stood up, Santa indeed had his traditional belly and his long white hair and beard and red hat. His cheeks were certainly rosy and his eyes had the brightness of… Lois’s jaw dropped. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/a110.gif) after too much ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/nahrung/a040.gif) From inside his bag, Santa started to pull gifts, some wrapped, some not, for the horde of children that now surrounded him – each one received a gift, no one was left out. Then how are they going to learn how to be good all year. And to barter. Lois nodded to herself. Yep. Super Claus! She stopped herself short before crashing into the tall iron gates surrounding the courtyard of the old stone building. Actually, it’s only now that I get it that this was Jolly St. Clark as the lost S1 Christmas episode which Lois now remembered. Some biiig hint for this being the lost S1 ep would help ginormously in the archived version. I just don’t know how to do it. Other than that one comparison, it did not match the one at the Luthor House in the slightest. Wouldn’t that make a great frontpage? /holds up both hands in a banner-headline-move/ “A Tale of Two X-mas” and below you get the side by side of the two Christmas events, show the staged one for what it really is. Or, even more fun, putting the Superman-one above the fold and the Luthor-one into a little blurb text on the bottom right corner below the fold and with a reference to page 7. “I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” the girl screamed, throwing the doll at Santa. She wanted a Barbie instead of a ragdoll? She ran away across the room, plowing directly into Lois and knocking her to the floor.  Michael

Michael: Thanks for all the  Lex who? Lois has been a bit too obvious in her drooling? LOIS: <Slurp> Huh? The surprise casserole comes from the stuff left over on LexLunch trucks? That's only M-F, Sat and Sun, they avoid the "mystery meat" casserole, because that's where all the bodies disappear into. The Luthor House for Homeless Children? Otherwise known as Juvie? LEX: <shrugs> Sometime we outsource for the govn't. “I don’t want to donate a kidney”? Oh, so solitary is another name for "recovery"? Huh. Good question. Jack or a dog under the table? Deep pockets. "Come and work for LexCorp, Harbor District. Work hard, and eat good. Get shot during the robbery and get a cold grave.” Hey, you wouldn’t boink him so he had to make due in the meantime. LOIS: I still don't want an exclusive THAT badly. Well, Lex did need a new place to test his drugs. LEX: Well, yes... I mean, I have no comment to make on those completely ungrounding accusations! Very odd. Has Mrs. Cox overheard that bit and made sure they cleaned up? Yes, indeed. Was Denny wrong? Or was he right? She was open for business in college? Those school loans had to be paid off somehow. Less lights, more big red round balls. So, a Christmas bauble with a naked stripper inside from each conference he went to? No, this is a good Christmas memory. That's the one. He likes them just fine. Their tiny fingers are great for stuffing gun powder inside brass, picking pockets on full commuter trains, and they go really well with garlic and mustard. No, no. That was his father Luthor and his great-grandfather Luthor's mentality. Luthor prefers his as labrats. I thought that was how he always worked? You thought he always bribed? Or used the reward system? <<Pst. These are children and shouldn't be held to the same standard as adult flunkies>> Plus, that way they can learn how to properly use a shiv before they land in prison the first time. Exactly! Yes, but one of them killed his parents when they didn’t get him the candy he wanted fast enough. And the other one watched them burn. Sounds about right. Not even a pearl necklace? There were green crystals too, though. That way, Clark will never warm to his mother in law. As if he ever does anyway. Another Lex was much less tacky with a Kryptonite studded wedding band. LEX: First, she has to date me again. “I saw Mommy kissing Santa tonight”? "I saw Mommy fighting off Santa Clause, underneath the mistletoe last night..." That’s what her new steel-capped knee-protectors are for that Clark got her for Christmas. Maybe if she had thrown up all over Lex? It's never good to throw up in a crowd of people; it ends up being contageous.

-- Response to Michael's FDK - Cont. It's the jewelry, Lex. Not enough gold, rubies, and lapis. You mean, it would be like when Ralph tried that thing with the slobber? LOIS: That's a good example. Just because he wasn't alone in bed, didn't make it any less lonely. It wasn't as if his bedmate was there for conversational purposes. After reading the FDK and rereading this bit, things finally click with Jolly St. Clark. At first I just thought she was going for memories form Season 2. I did make an author's note at the beginning of 68 about it. <<Superman>> after too much <<pigging out on sweets>> Possibly. <<There's another reason Alt-Clark doesn't eat sweets>> But more likely, just him in a Santa suit. Then how are they going to learn how to be good all year. And to barter. Superman = unconditional love. Lex = not so much. Actually, it’s only now that I get it that this was Jolly St. Clark as the lost S1 Christmas episode which Lois now remembered. Some biiig hint for this being the lost S1 ep would help ginormously in the archived version. I just don’t know how to do it. Well, I did put that note at the beginning of 68, which I could include in the Archived version (although they'd have to get pretty far in the story to get to it). Originally, I didn't include Lois's flashback from "Jolly St. Clark", but when the readers started to get all /points at Superman turning back time/ /points at Superman going back in time to change the past/ Do I need to show more examples? But that isn't our Superman. That's only that comics / Reeve version. Squeeeeeeeeeeeee! <<ER bounces for joy>> But how will she know to name him Clarkie Bear? Uh... er... um... ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e010.gif) Oh noooooooooooo <<crying>> Hmmmm. Doesn't work if she doesn't call the bear Clarkie? TEMPUS: I know I called Lois galacticaly stupid. But comparing her to *him* is like comparing Hawking to a fruit fly. LOIS: THANK YOU! It's about time someone finally acknowledged this fact. Wouldn’t it be awkward if he had a bit of soot on his cheek or neck? Oh, dear. Would Lois think Clark had been exchanging mistletoe kisses with Superman? He maybe not. But what about Dr. Kelly. And Dr. Hamilton. And… do you require more examples? Um... Good examples? Awwwwww… Lucy’s there, too. Krypto! Just joking. Or having her lying in Lex’s bed, drugged and hogtied. LEX: Sounds like my usual Christmas gift. I'm not understanding the analogy. Okay, I guess that’s it with the Christmas smilies. And I can see how reading that a couple of weeks earlier would have been a mighty fine idea. John's right. There's more to come.

Sorry about the PML delay, but I needed to get my holiday story squeezed in there somewhere. Well, he and Jack needed to run away from somewhere before ending up on the street, now didn't they? Maybe he’s Lex’s son and ran away from his gilded cage? Then she'd know that they were genuine street kids, and that kid would be introduced to the modern day version of the rack (or is the wrack? No, the first spelling was right.) LOIS: I still don't want an exclusive THAT badly. Which is why the DP will fall to the brink of bankruptcy. LEX: Well, yes... I mean, I have no comment to make on those completely ungrounding accusations! quote:She was open for business in college?
Those school loans had to be paid off somehow. LEX: I *knew* she wasn’t at the Metro Club for a story! quote: <<Grinch and Susie Who>>
That's the one. And his facial expression really is just like Lex’s, isn’t it? No, no. That was his father Luthor and his great-grandfather Luthor's mentality. Luthor prefers his as labrats. LEX: But then how will they learn to be productive members of the society? quote: Not even a pearl necklace?
[Sad] Let's hope Lois's tastes never stray into the political housewives arena. There were green crystals too, though. Enough to make him weak and unable to fight off a pheromoned Mad Dog. quote: Another Lex was much less tacky with a Kryptonite studded wedding band.
LEX: First, she has to date me again. I just meant, he could have made it look less like drug-lord bling-bling and more like fancy emeralds and ruby inlays.

Especially since Lex tries to kill Jack in the vault during Foundling. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/boese/a045.gif) Michael! I'm trying not to be distracted from my story. And they’re always good for credit. And if not, Lex could always have some political figurehead ‘replaced’. LEX: That sounds reasonable. Which is why the DP will fall to the brink of bankruptcy. LOIS: What? It's Cat's fault for disappearing after the hostage situation. She brought in more revenue than I ever could. LEX: I *knew* she wasn’t at the Metro Club for a story! LOIS: Don't be ridiculous, Lex. My school loans were paid off ages ago. Mama needs a new Jeep! And his facial expression really is just like Lex’s, isn’t it? LEX: Grandpa! LEX: But then how will they learn to be productive members of the society? Example? Enough to make him weak and unable to fight off a pheromoned Mad Dog. I just meant, he could have made it look less like drug-lord bling-bling and more like fancy emeralds and ruby inlays. It's still early yet.

Oh, lookie! There was more.  Originally posted by Darth Michael:
Wouldn’t that be a traumatic childhood memory to have.
Dr. CARLIN /hands over card and books architect for house remodeling/ Better to become an unproductive member of society with. Maybe lead into the memory sequence by having her remember a recent dream and then decide to follow up on that? Well, I currently have it so she's remembering something that flashed into her mind when she was writing up the article on the Luthor House. Perhaps I need to make that more clear. Or elaborate more. ER: /points at Superman turning back time/ /points at Superman going back in time to change the past/ Do I need to show more examples?
EW: But that isn't our Superman. That's only that comics / Reeve version.
ER: Actually, the second one, that was canon Clark. Ooopps. I see. I thought you meant without the help of a time machine. So, it’s okay that she’s galactically stupid, so long as she’s not even in the same species family as Clark? Just the same family, family.

ER: Is Lois saying that Cat is the greater asset to the Daily Planet? <<The ramifications of this discovery makes ER dizzy>> LOIS: No, I'm saying that Cat's a bigger whore than I am. CLARK: <<eek>> So, she did not get upset for being called a street walker because of the general line of profession but because it’s like calling a five-star cook a burger slinger at Mc Lex. My bad. No, but Lois felt like pulling the rug out from under Mr. Kent just for the fun of it. Huh? Well, if you let children behave like children, they won’t be able to earn their keep by the age of twelve. Isn’t that Lex’s point? Well, that explains things. Lex is from 1850. No. If Lois is allowed to use tools, so is Clark when he tries to reach happiness. So, tempted.... must resist D.E.... just and move on...

Naughty girl! No Superman for you tonight, young lady. Well, that explains things. Lex is from 1850. LOIS:  He's *that* old? quote: No. If Lois is allowed to use tools, so is Clark when he tries to reach happiness.
