Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Wrong Clark (79/???)

If Clark is right that Carlos is Clark reincarnated (a big if, but still) than how could the curse possibly apply to Clark. How could he possibly by the curse-linked soul when someone else present is? It probably could work, but I don't think it does.

I was thinking about whether Clark should reveal his secret or not, and I think people seem to think he should reveal it almost willy nilly.

CK=SM is a really, really big secret. The only person he has ever actually told that to was Lana, and she did not react well. So, it makes sense he hesitates with Lois.

I have to go with Virginia and say that late night, on the roof, when Clark needed to leave to look for Rourke, would not have been a good time.

I hope Clark plans on telling her when they have their upcoming talk.

Anyway, he was trying to tell her when she was under the Pheremone. In fact it is mostly H.G. Wells fault she does not know.

Skipped ahead? But that’s how it went in canon? Oh, wait, in canon Lois got kidnapped. Yeah, I got rid of that, she decided to go visit Luthor instead of investigate the Pier 31.

Yes, if no recap this story would truly be long.

Yes, Harrington didn’t get away with it as he had in canon. That’s a good thing, right?

CLARK: But she *dated* him! And he’s a *bad* guy! Doesn’t anyone else see this is a bad combo?

Clark’s just nervous about getting outed in this dimesion by the very woman he loves, that’s all.

CLARK: No, L.A. is on the west coast. I live in Metropolis.
LOIS: He’s no nuclear scientist, is he?
CLARK: I see my plan for no one to associate me with Superman due to my lack of intelligence is working.
LOIS: What’s that?
CLARK: Coming dear… er… minha!

CLARK: That’s not the point! Big wave could drown you. Superman has to protect you at all costs.
LOIS: :rolleyes:

SUPERMAN: But that would take too long!

CLARK: She is a bit stubborn, but I’m working on that.
PERRY: Really? How’s that working for you?
CLARK: Er.. uh… it’s a work in progress.
PERRY: Good luck with that, son.

That he thinks about Lois in a negligee? Well, he is a man, and she did look nice. That time he checked, thoughts did not activate the curse.



No. He mentioned that she stopped him when he was about to Luthor.

Except that it is a cold February night and he has a tidal wave to stop.

SUPERMAN: Er… Um… I could spin into my Clark clothes? Then get punched in the face and spin back?

Well, it would be shocking if he did not think of how she looked in that. I am just saying that having those thoughts is not going to make things any easier for him.

Actually, that is a good question, exactly what does activate the curse?

Clark:Hmm, umm, I really don't know. Obviously more than what I have done with Lois so far. Although, we may have come really close to going too far. It would be nice if someone told me exactly what make the curse start.

Lois: Which is why I had to cut in to correct his erroneous thinking.

Clark:Although on second though, I guess it is better this way. At least Lois does not die.

I think that is a major inprovement.

Well, if he told her enough of his backstory, she might agree to waiting until Herb shows up again. But she would insist that they ask Herb for actual proof then, and then consider whether it is worth accepting. I would say the chances of that, even if Clark breaks all world records in clarity of explantion, would still be under 50%. So, I guess this probably would not work.

Wait, that was after she told him she loved him? Well, told him not knowing she was talking to him, but still. Somehow I thought that had been earlier. I think I have been confused as to how the timeline goes.

No, but in comparison.

He doesn’t want her to hurt herself by pushing him.

Awww. Shucks. It worked.
CLARK: Really? Nobody is more surprised that me.

Hmmmm. John says it’s time for Lois to know. Of course, I think he’s been saying that since his first post.

CLARK: I find that assuming that Lois doesn’t love me until she tells me she does verbatim saves a lot of heartache.

He meant literally. She thought figuratively.



Clark didn’t expect it before then. Of course, you’re right I’ll work on the wording of that line. Thanks.

So, guys don’t say things like that to each other when no women are present? That only happens in movies, TV shows, books, and fanfiction?

So, he’s figured out these reasons to tell Lois: 1) Because she deserves to know the truth, 2) Because she loves him, 3) Because making love with her knowing the truth would be so much better (Should Herb’s theory be wrong, of course), 4) he would be able to kiss her as Superman (SLV not withstanding), 5) Cat and the Kents think he should, 7) because it would make his life easier, 8) because angry Lois is sexy, 9) because he's really bad at lying, and 10) so she wouldn’t stop in the middle of conversations with Superman to wait and tell something to Clark privately. I wonder what Clark will do with all this insurmountable evidence piling up?

Did you really think it would be THAT easy? Touché!

Not everyone, just a good enough portion. There were some people safe on high mountains, but what their lives would have been like afterwards is anyone guess. Definitely not Utopia.

According to Lynn S.M. Nightfall was a alien spacecraft.

CLARK: My point exactly!

CLARK: Yes, but the head’s up had been nice for a change.

Not anything that large, I believe was the qualifier.

Usually I italicize remembered dialogue / flashback dialogue. Do you think it needs quotes, since I also use italics for thoughts. I can add single quote marks if you think it would make it more clear.

CAT: I believe in Superman <<rings a bell>>
JIMMY: That’s for angels.
CAT: Honey, if Superman isn’t an angel in those tights I don’t want to go to heaven.

Yes, but I’ve got to change things around so that alt-Clark can make this dimension his own. Anyway, Lois's extra knowledge needs to be put to good use to stop disasters sometimes.

CAT: I’m not fixing any more holes in your uniform. Wait. Unless you’re wearing it at the time.

-- Response to John's FDK - Cont.

But no tidal wave! Geez. <<Psst. Tempus and Kal-El count too, I believe>>
CLARK: What asteroid? I have no idea to what he keeps referring to. Do you, Lois?
LOIS: This isn’t a good sign, is it?

Actually, there is another possiblity out there…

She *could*…

They’ve got a story to write. No time now.

Which is why he came back to check on her, when he didn’t spot her at the DP when he did his fly by.

Clearly nobody in Washington did. Had Rourke’s plan fizzled and died?

But Rourke didn’t mess up in canon.



Or she loved him and figured she’d be staying over eventually. Nah, it was B.

LOIS: Exactly!

She’s still referring to that same time.

Yes.

Not really a confession for a very public diner.

LOIS: I can be fun! I was in debate! And Chess club! And Math club! And Student Body president!
RALPH: I would have voted for your student body.
LOIS: Wasn’t this -> you in high school. My student body wouldn’t have given your student body the time of day for a vote.

Um….

You mean, besides the usual?

CLARK: I agree.
LOIS: It would have been an interview. Not a date.
CLARK: There is no such thing in Lex’s world.

So, Lex is being himself?

LEX: But I *want* to date her! So, I’m making it look like I’m not.

In name only.

LEX: By Jove, I think he’s got it!

Numerous times.

PERRY: Lois finally understand double-talk. She can now be a Jedi Knight.
LOIS: Huh?

She’s rejected him before, but he doesn’t listen. He only hears the challenge.

To interview the president. <<She set it up before trying to cancel her reservations at the Lexor Hotel>>



Thanks. Fixed.

LOIS: I was being polite. I’m not ‘in his debt’. In my opinion. The man still owes me $250 for making me stay at honeymoon suite to begin with and $1500 for buying my services at the Metro Club.

Partially.

I thought you might like how that part ended.

What even more FDK? Perhaps it is time to post Part 80, instead.

Ken: Ah... the questions are starting. I believe some of these questions will be answered within the next few (5 maybe) parts. Many of them were answered within "Another Lois", which does have a much higher body count than this story because it doesn't have a Clark with a corporeal body to go off and save people.

It's possible. I did mention the 'natural disaster' in the prequel to this story Another Dimension, Another Time, Another Lois . <<Herb's line is taken from the Epilogue of "Another Lois", which could have easily been a Prologue to this story, which is why I have included the link to it here.>>

Despite what John says "Missing Lois" has nothing to do with this story. I know the names can be confusing, and I apologize.

It could... The answer to that question (should you not want to wait) is vaguely found in another story (a one shot), called The Superman Effect , but it will come up here in this story, eventually, if you're patient.

Christina: Thanks for popping by.

Hmm, so does the unnaed Jeweler who showed up dead on Christmas day. OK, so that puts us to 9.

On the tidal wave issue, in canon SM stopped it before it hit ground, so there were no deaths due to it, so I don't think that is relevant.

It seems to me though she is talking about it as if there were multiple times.

I will give Clark that. This needs to be discussed somewhere where they are securely alone. Hmm, maybe he should tell her the truth as SM, so he can first fly her somewhere where they will not be disturbed.

Lois:The conversation after the nuclear power plant problem was exposed was not a date.

Clark:Are you sure about that?

I fixed my horrible mistake of referring to the prequel by the wrong name above.

Actually, I think the italics do work. It is just I was readin it in a format that had removed the italics. Sothe problem was all mine.

Because Clark wasn't there to interrupt her search in "Another Lois", she was able to find more information than in canon (more like in "Wrong Clark"), she then went to Lex (who she was dating and didn't find any qualms in revealing Rourke's plans to), and he was able to find and fix the sabotage before the test. Rourke, Harrington, and Bart were arrested from Lois's article.

Hmmmm. Good Point. I wonder if Clark would think of that? Or would there now be 2 men in the world with whom Lois couldn't have intimate relations?

People in the story, or Readers?

And YET you keep begging him to tell her every time the wind shifts in the story.



CLARK: Let's say, I'm thinking about it.

Readers. Although I am sure Cat does not understand how hard it is to reveal his secret, since she does not understand what hiding it for so long/having it totally blow open when he tried developing it did to him. Not even M&J understand that, but since they know he grew up on an earth they might understand better.

Well, I figure they have reached the point where she should know. I just think some others blame him too much for not telling. I understand why he doesn't, but I think he should.

Hmm, is that a good sign. Maybe it just gives him more cahnces to talk himself out of it.

Phew. I think I'm caught up on this thread.

Clark:I think we were pretty close before I ran away when you were in the blue negligee. At least I had no ability to resist other than by running.

That is what they did in canon. At some level they killed Lois, but then Herb came back and restarted the universe just before she died.

Yes. It makes it a lot more clear why Clark is so bothered by Lois speaking to Luthor. Although, I still think he is over-reacting to the whole matter.

Actually I am not sure her sense of which self is true will be effected by which one confesses.

Clark:OK, since I was there. Still, I don't trust Luthor as far as I can throw him.

Lois:And how far is that?

Clark:Well, I don't trust him anywhere near that far.

Wait, Lois, you don't know what we are talkingabout.

Lois:I still should know it.

I am surprised you have gone this long without Lois finding out.

So close, and yet so far away.

No, in canon, Herb did that. I don't know if alt-Clark would chance it. Would he be *able* to consummate his relationship with Lois, knowing it was a test of whether or not she would die?

So, he's not allowed to be bothered by Lois's friendship to Lex?

Hmmmmm.

Perhaps he should say, as far as Lois could throw him.



Have I just been slapped with a wet noodle?

Well, looking back, it does appear to have been the prudent choice. Still failed, though.

I just noticed that there appears to be one too many uses of "on" in this sentance.
