Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Clark TOC can be found Here

See, Clark really is trying this time to be honest.

Comments, feedback, and happily accepted here.

I got a rare moment when War'N Peace is napping to read and comment.

Oh Lois, while I know you didn't mean too, you just gave that guy some hope. Not the kind of thing you want I'm sure.

Not quite the reaction I suspected but it's still appropriate.

Oh great. Looks like Clark's secret compartment may be in jeopardy. Also, if Lois still has any clothing left at his place by that point...

Lois: What?? You mean to tell my underwear is missing???? *goes on a reporting rampage, getting in contact with Louie and attempting to get it back.*

*snort* good luck with that unless you get your hands on some kryptonite.

Luthor: What did you say? Nigel is the best at his craft, of course he'll be able to dispose of Kent.

Ah, the subterranean apartment he offered during Nightfall. I suspect he's thinking of Lois as a trophy on par with the painting are artwork in his vault.

Mxyzptlk: Heehee, those two are just so cute together! (think Post Crisis Mxy who is actually a MAJOR shipper.)

Oh Clark... you're not taking her hints.

Clark: You do realize that's on purpose, don't you?

ER: *sighs* sadly yes, I do.

Those All encompassing kisses are the best kind.

I can juusst tell this is going to come back and bite him.

Or maybe not. Although I could see her asking about who said associate actually was.

So "Foundling" is actually happening earlier than canon here.

Sounds like he'll be holding off on that until things die down. When is that likely to happen? In the lives of Lois and Clark? Almost never.

OMG, the "Lovers entwined" figurine! That's harsh symbolism that it has been broken like that. Of course, that might have been the point.

Sure you would, after have a long bout of loving I suspect.

Famous last words. You're tempting fate, Clark.

Which you would get if you allowed Superman to join you and your BF for dinner.

Hi Virginia,

I get the feeling that either Luthor is going to be in for a rude awakening or he is going to expose Clark.

I just hope he doesn't lay his hands on any green K.

Or maybe she just does not like him invading her private life.

So, Luthor did listen to Lois. Hmm, maybe she should not have told him if it lead to him engineering a murder.

Lois: It is not my fault that Luthor decided to kill someone due to what I told him.

Now we are to a body count of seven over canon. This universe seems to be more deadly than canon.

I this there needs to be something like "has been" in there, right now it just does not sound right. Now this is confusing me, why did they need to pay Harrington?

I hope his super suits are well enough stored to ellude St. John. At least some key documents related to his existence are stored elsewhere, such as the birth certificate the Kents said they would let him use.

Well, there is not any document that tells that. Only three people in this dimension know the full truth.

Clark:I will still think there is a connection.

Lois:Maybe there is, maybe not. Luthor is at least potentially suspect, although, why would he still investigate when I told him off?

Fortuantly he has no idea that CK=SM. Although this might make it difficult to explain how Clark survies.

Clark:Hey, I explained surviving the bomb without anyone suspecting the truth, how hard can it be.

Lois: We will notivce Clark's disapparance very quickly.

Others . How many people has Luthor had killed? I guess maybe we should revise the BC over canon up to 8, because there was that jeweler on Christmas Day. I guess in canon Luthor killed lots of people, although not as many as he would have if SM had not stopped him over and over again. I wonder if there are deaths we can blame on his heatwave.

Let's hope it does not come to that. It might make it a bit hard to hide his identity if Clark is being tortured.

Oh no. That would be very bad if Luthor was able to find the contents of the box. I don;t even remember exactly what is in the box, but it still would be bad.

Is he building the astroid-hit shelter already? That will not go over well if she sees it, not at all.

After she flatly refused his invitation for weekly dinner? I guess it is not meant to be a shelter for if the astroid hits, at least not yet.

he is walking her home. Although I fear they will not get to the key talk tonight.

I guess Lois really does like pizza with Clark.

I was hoping they would. Although, I really did not expect it.

I love his dialogue.

So she just invited him to stay the night.

She really does not seem to realize she has not told him this before, if she says it so casually. Although, technically she has told him.

This is only true because he sometimes wears a disguise.

I am quite glad she has found a way to be postive about this issue.

I am surprised she did not destroy it.



She was never as angry about what happened while she was drugged as he expected.

He seems to do that a lot.

Clark:I hope Wells comes back soon with a way to fix the curse.

Lois: Well, never all the way, but I liked what I saw.

Wait, it happened multiple times?

Lois:No, no, no. You are not leaving tonight.

Either that, or he is deliberately ignoring it.

Use more clear and direct language, like Cat did the night that Lois got shot.

I guess that would be hard on both of them.

Clark:I am trying to do the right thing. I hate how it hurts Lois.

I guess that is why she went for the very obique reference.

No, not at all.

In not getting her "good morning kiss" reference? Or is there something else he missed her?

Maybe she should tell Clark this.

This would be a good plan, expcet the problem she thinks is there does not exist.

Why doesn't he come over for breaksfast and tell her then? OK, there might not really be time for a good indepth discussion that way.

Clark:Not the talk I really want to have. Some things cannot be said at work.

Hey, the rest of the newsroom probably figures a lot more happened in the Honeymoon Suite than really did.

why do i have to be the one holding out all the time.

Reader:Becuase you are the only one who believes the curse claim with no actual evidence.

This sounds like a good plan.

Clark:I am not sure it would work.

Reader:It did before.

Clark:No, it is not that I think it would activate the curse. I am just not sure if I would have the resolve all night long. And if I did it would require too much thingking about the curse.

She does have a point.

Oh no, I guess Clark had better leave.

Lois:I need to remember this as the best way to get rid of all fatigue.

he will stay.

Wait, is this the way to make him think they will just cuddle?

He does have a point.

Hmm, he may not believe her "just cuddle' line anymore.

they are kissing.

Lois:So tomorrow you will stay the night with me?

Lois:I want to do more than talk.

I have to say this is the wisest move on the surface, although Lois may be mad about things anyway.

You are 100% right Lois. Although, it is not at all what you think. You see Clark is really.

Clark:Let me tell her.

Reader:OK, but do it soon.

So now the big question is, will Lois really be glad when he tells her the truth that CK=SM, or will she be irate. I am guessing at least somewhat irate. Especially since SM rjected her.

So now he is going to learn it was burgled?

At first read I thought it said "his favorite place" and was wondering if they would go to the restraunt where she first told him she loved him.

Hmm, have they been in the apartment together since the Pheremone incident?

He is going to tell her. This is wonderful news.

Roller Coaster! We are up then down then all around. I wonder if this ride will come to a halt soon. More soon. Laura

Negative Reader:We saw canon Clark do that to, and not go through. Better not count your chickens before they hatch.

Postive Reader:I still will celebrate just the fact he wants to tell her. Oh no. He is going to try to convince her they can't be intimate because he is SM. Wait, I think this is a very, very bad plan. Not likely to work either. I mean he admitted he had sex with Lana, so unless he claims something really bad happened to her, this plan will not work. I do not think this will result in what he hopes.

I think he should tell her about the curse. That is the only way. I still am not sure it would convince her, but at least they would not be talking round eachother.

This is not going to work. How is he going to explain Lana? This is not a good plan.

This will only work if he tells her about the curse. Otherwise it will just lead to more anger later on if he tried to convince her something else is the problem.

Also, since she does realize something happened while she was under the Pheremones, he needs to explain things in a way that explains what really happened then.

His plans are not well thought out.

This is likely.

This is why he needs to tell her about the curse. Even if she does not believe him.

Probably if he tells her the truth. If he tries to claim being SM is why he can't make love with her, it will just confuse her totally.

Which is why he needs to make sure to tell her about the curse.

He should be. This is not a good plan. Especially since unless he tells her about the curse, I do not see how he can make his statements about his past work.

His best course is to tell about the curse now. Either that or not try to explain why he can't make love with her. Without the curse, how does he explain about his past fiancee?

Also, if he does not tell her about inter-dimensional travel, how is he going to explain his past? This does not sound like a good idea to me. Cat thinking he grew up on Krypton is OK, but Lois thinking that will just not work.

Except Wells did not witness Lois' death, so Clark probably should not believe it at all.

Which is why he should tell her the full context. OK, maybe I should give up. Still, I think if he gives her half an explanation it will just make things worse later on.

The more I think about things, the less I think his plan makes any sense.

I am not sure, but I am not understanding how he hopes that anything else will discorage her pursuing him.

So maybe he should stop believing flaky time travelers.

His plans are getting worse and worse. I see no point in doing this at all.

This would only make sense if he thought she would tell Luthor about this specific fact.

I still do not see how this relates. The only question that makes sense is whether she will tell Luthor. Meeting with Luthor about other things does not sound at all related.

Even this sounds like putting the horse before the cart. Clark needs to trust Lois before she trusts him. I also do not see how that related to telling her that he is Superman. They seem to be two different issues.

Maybe, but it in this case it makes sense to not tell her until she is at least willing to accept that they have a point in investigating Luthor.

Maybe, but in the long run hopefully she would accept that both were logical.

He is probably right that that would turn away random theives. Hopefully this will cause him to realize this is not a random act at all, but a deliberate attack.

Yes, their place does seem to be more secure.

Well, at least neither of those things are likely to be overly helpful to Luthor.

Let's hope St. John had neither.

He really should have done so last night.

I guess this really was not a high profile case if he is already leaving.

Oh, it is Floyd, the landlord.

More clues that this was not a random job.

Lois: That's what I want to do with Clark.

Yeap, he is really talking about how he feel like an inadequate replacment for true Clark.

Oh, he is speaking of when he became known to be SM and people tried to dig up ever secret on him.

He really will have to tell her more than just that he is SM.

Not likely. Although some of it might be the same people, just different.

She is nothing if not persistent.

Clark:Well, I don't really want to, but I think it would be best.

she knows he wants her.

he is going to tell her.

they were interupted, again.

Why do I think that is about to happen?



I think he should just tell her right now. On the other hand, they are in a semi-public place, so it probably would be a bad idea, but still.

It is not like she really has a choice in the matter, they are both always there.

Little does she realize that they are somewhat the same.

Well, I am glad that Clark did not manage to tell her his mangled story of his past yet. Hopefully he will realize he should tell her more by the time he does tell her.

On the other hand, at the rate they are going this is not looking very hopeful. So they have postpones it five nights. Clark should really just tell her already.

I think that should be "not to be" in the last part.

Christina: I love the nickname for your 1 y.o.

CLARK: I'm not as look as I stupid.

LOIS: Huh? Oh, yea!



I'm sure Clark could be quite vague if he needed to be.

Actually, he "found" the globe back in Smallville, and Denny (& Jack) made their appearance back at Christmas. This is just another break-in.

CLARK:

NIGEL: I plead the fifth. <<ASIDE: Anyway, you never know if he was hiding some sort of microfiche in that cheap tourist statue. I'm everything if not thorough.>>

Hence Lois's description of her words as "her huge, obvious lie".

I couldn't resist.

But SHE doesn't know that!

Ken: Hi. Thanks for the FDK.



He already has, per his Christmas gift to Lois, unless of course, he used all of it on the watch.

Laura: Thanks for the comments.
Glad you're enjoying the ride. There is quite a bit left. If we stop too suddenly the rider might get through into the air and land in a bloody heap, and I'd really like to avoid that contingency.

John: Another big FDK! You spoil me, John.

LEX: Don't be ridiculous!

CLARK: Lois is NOT to blame for the death of Rourke, Harrington, or Bart.

CLARK: So, I should just give up because I can't do things as well as that other Clark?

So he wouldn't report Rourke and Bart to authorities and let them know that Lex's system was vulnerable to sabotage.

CLARK: I'm pretty good at hiding things. I HAVE been robbed before, you remember.

The Kents and Clark himself?

Wouldn't she think that Lex be more sneaky about breaking into Clark's apartment, so it didn't look like anyone had been there?

Ask that to Canon Clark after ToGoM.

Depends on what other things she might have on her mind at the time.

Possibly. Yes, the Jeweler was one. Lex has mentioned killing several others on occasion. I can't say that he kills more than canon Lex, being that I'm sure we weren't made aware of all the deaths that occurred during canon.



I don't believe Clark had been very forthcoming about what he had in the box. He'll mention it again eventually.

She saw it in canon.

Technically, she didn't. She said that she'd think about it.

Maybe. Maybe not. I always thought the shelter was Lex's "just in case" hide-a-way being that I doubted he could get it together in 4 days, even with his resources.

-- Response to John's FDK -- Cont.

If he didn't walk her home, he wouldn't be able to get a kiss, now would he? Kisses much more important than talking, right?

LOIS:

See! Clark can be honest!

Maybe.

Does she need to make a big deal about it?



LOIS: Do you think a little sugar is going to stop me from getting some real sugar?

No, she was more humiliated and angry at Clark for his actions.

Actually, he had been serious.



Once at the Apolo Hotel and once at his apartment.

Yes, that would be the one.



By naive, she's thinking "inexperienced".

He knows this.

CLARK: Still always nice to hear.

Kinda, sorta, it does. He has a fear of being intimate with Lois which is stopping them from making love... but not for the reasons she thinks.

How early would he have to arrive for that conversation? To answer all her questions, and still arrive to work on time? Anyway, if he delays until AFTER work, then she'll start being angry with him that night, instead of all day.

CLARK: Well, if they haven't figured out that I'm also SM why would they figure out about me and Lois?

CO-WORKERS: :rolleyes:

CLARK: er... co-workers?

LOIS: Right.

JIMMY: Of course, it's been... what... a good six - eight months since he bagged Cat, and he's only been interested in Lois. Maybe he wasn't as good as I thought.

Because he's such a good guy.

Cuddling before being in a relationship with kisses is different that cuddling during such a relationship.



LOIS: Ooops.

Did he ever?



CLARK: First things first.

Yes, what is Lois's frustration level?

I believe I've only written one story in which Lois didn't get mad when learning Clark's secret. 2 points for anyone who guesses which one.

-- Response to John's FDK -- Cont.

Oh, dear, are my patterns showing?

Possibly.

Keeping things from me is NEVER logical!

Hmmmm.

Interesting. Would Nigel have left a clue had he discovered the uniforms to let Clark know he knew (or someone knew) or would he pretend that he didn't know, so Clark would think that the secret was safe?

Too tired for a productive conversation.

He didn't stay all that long when canon Clark's apartment was robbed by Jack either.

Yes.

That's one interpretation.

He highly doubts that it is Superman fans / groupies and/or tabloid reporters breaking in this time.



PERRY: That's what makes her a damn fine reporter.

His home has just been invaded, a night in the arms of the woman he loves sounds pretty darn tempting.

Or maybe he just likes kissing her (see above note about his home being invaded).

NIGEL: You never know. What is this strange article about a press conference with Mayor White and former president Elvis Presley? Perry White isn't the mayor of Metropolis? Elvis is dead. Odd. Must be fiction of some sort.

HENDERSON: That's why I'm coming back to check.

So, they don't have thieves who would want to rob Lord Kal-El on Krypton?

Uniforms are back home. Meeting with Henderson and the scanning team. Must replace front door and locks, and clean up mess.

After HOW many times she has told him she doesn't need protection?

CLARK: I was only going to hover a little bit.

That's the one.

CLARK: Well, Superman knows my intentions are honorable. Luthor's aren't.

2 points.

Probably best since Asabi is waiting to tail them right outside the door.

Because you've read ahead?

Exactly. He needs a private place to tell her.

Yep. Little that she knows.

Ooooh! More!

Clark's trying, but something keeps coming up. His heart is in the right place. A part of him is afraid that she'll find the "curse" an implausible and convenient excuse to not move their relationship forward (being that she doesn't believe in magic and probably even less on "spells"), and probably even less on reincarnation and soul mates. Telling Lois that he can't make love to her because he might hurt her due to his super strength at least as a basis in reality, and makes it more plausible and believable reason, while at the same time allows him to not appear commitment phobic.

Thanks. I'll fix that.

Sadly, no Mxyzptlk story yet (although there might be one in the offing if I can find the right inspiration.) In Man of Steel #56 (May 1996 is the date on the publication so only a few months before they got married) Mxyzptlk shows up in the comic "In the Money!" Baudyhallee posted a series of scans on her tumblr blog from the comic. I believe he also shows up briefly in the Wedding Album to wish them well.

For what I can tell of the New52 Action Comics (They're EXTREMELY hard to follow but considering we're talking about a 5th Dimension tale I guess I shouldn't be surprised) there is a suggestion that Mxyzptlk had designed the "New52" universe (prior to his nemesis potentially destroying Mxy and altering the New52 uni) so that Lois and Superman (not necessarily Clark, the image we have in the comic is up Lois in a wedding dress and Clark in the Supersuit) could get married and found a new Golden Age.
