Well, I think he was at least only partly awake. Although that is not the same thing as being asleep. CLARK: How could it have been real, if I woke up alone? Well, I hope the answer isn't "the nurse finds Lois and escorts her out". That would be no fun.

That was one of the big ol' differences between alt-Clark and canon Clark. If you've read any of my major over 100 part epics (and yes, I'm including this one) Alt-Clark's sweet aversion plays a part.
Thanks for dropping by, Mrs. L., my muse. [/b]I have to admit that I had mostly forgotten the scene until I rewatched Lois and Clarks this evening.

I guess most of the people who know about Chuck are in Smallville. I thought that was Jerome. But Lois did give two different explanations of why she called him Chuck while there.

So not a child of Clark too? You would have to read the fic to find out. Michael doesn't like it when I drop spoilers in FDK threads. Which fic was it?

Their one official date being her birthday? I was going to say two but figured that it might be possible to weasle out of counting when they were at the Kerth's together. They also spent time together the Sunday after that, but it was not a date.

I guess when you put it that way, I do have to admit that was not the reason they did not do anything at the Metro Club. Although I have to say I never understood why Clark let Toni Taylor into his apartment. Or how Toni found his apartment to begin with either. She was his undercover persona's boss? I guess that answers why he let her in, but why would he give his real address when getting a job in an undercover persona?

I don't think they insisted more than they didn't believe him and he produced "proof". I was expecting you to point out that that Clark had Lois to keep him from being too trusting. But not enough to mention to Clark he had spent some nights during the last month with a female at the honeymoon suite. And that can't happen if one is married? (Shouldn't, yes, but can't?) Well, if Clark were married, the female involved might have been his wife. However, I was here going for the idea that Henderson could have told him he was somewhat close to Lois when he asked if he had a family. Although, Henderson probably does not know about the bombing there, so maybe he really could not have supplied such information. The last time I think Henderson, Lois and Clark were all together was when they were trying to figure out who the Voyeur was (when Clark bought the lava lamps). At that point, Lois had just been shot and dumped by Superman. So she and Clark didn't, technically, have more than a "partnership / friendship" relationship going on. But this Henderson did deal with the more recent break-in to Clark's apartment. Although maybe he avoided being anywhere with Lois and Clark at that point, at least enough to not see they were now fully in a relationship. I guess I am remembering canon where Henderson brought in Lois when she had even less relationship with Clark. However I guess there they were not trying to pretend Clark was dead.

I think we were talking about Double Jeopardy. I was going to say two but figured that it might be possible to weasle out of counting when they were at the Kerth's together. They also spent time together the Sunday after that, but it was not a date. Technically, Jimmy was her date to the Kerths. And brunch wasn't an official date, just two people eating together and hanging out. I guess that answers why he let her in, but why would he give his real address when getting a job in an undercover persona? In case they actually checked it out? Although, Henderson probably does not know about the bombing there, so maybe he really could not have supplied such information. Lois mentioned the bombing as a possible attack on Clark before his apartment was broken into, so Henderson knows about it, at least, from that description and probably because it was in the news. But this Henderson did deal with the more recent break-in to Clark's apartment. Although maybe he avoided being anywhere with Lois and Clark at that point, at least enough to not see they were now fully in a relationship. Henderson and Lois passed outside Clark's apartment, so he wasn't witness to Clark agreeing with Floyd's description of Lois as his girlfriend. I guess I am remembering canon where Henderson brought in Lois when she had even less relationship with Clark. However I guess there they were not trying to pretend Clark was dead. They aren't pretending that Clark is dead. They are pretending that they don't have any knowledge that he was found alive in Hob's Bay. Yes, the circumstances are a bit different than canon.

But his undercover persona was a laid off, down and out dock-worker. It would seem logical with such to claim to not have any residence at all. Lois mentioned the bombing as a possible attack on Clark before his apartment was broken into, so Henderson knows about it, at least, from that description and probably because it was in the news. More support for my theory that Henderson is needlessly giving Clark an impression that he lacks close ties. Henderson and Lois passed outside Clark's apartment, so he wasn't witness to Clark agreeing with Floyd's description of Lois as his girlfriend. But he does know that Lois regularly visits Clark. Although she did that before their relationship, so on the surface it probably does not mean anything.

Afpparently, full darkness was a no-no in hospitals, even when one was trying to sleep. It’s so you immediately know whether they’ve accidently put you into a freezer in the morgue. He was allowed a visitor. Thank goodness. Inspector Henderson had stopped by a little while earlier. He had brought Clark a bag of clothes and another pair of glasses. So, it’s a bit like Corrina’s Trusting Me, Trusting You? Only with a good cop instead of a bad cop? and one – he had decided after hours of staring at it – hideous landscape. No tiny Lois in there, huh? It was of some mountains and valley, and even though he had no recollection of ever visiting such a place, So… /reads between lines/ It is a picture of Lois after all? he felt that there was something off or wrong about the picture, but he had no idea what. The scenery got blasted by a nuclear firestorm back in his own dimension? Inspector Henderson had said that he wanted to try something that might jog his memory. Then he had pulled out a mirror. If he shrinks away, he knows he’s a vampire? “You don’t usually wear a cap,” Henderson had replied. Shouldn’t that be “You usually wear a cape,”? As Clark had tried to tame his wild locks, Henderson had gone into the bathroom and returned with a glass of water, and suggested that Clark dip the comb in the water. He pulled down another curl on the other side to frame his face.
Yes, that seems better, he thought with a nod. Clark had no idea what that was, but guessed from the context that it was some kind of eye disorder requiring glasses. He shrugged. “Okay, let’s try them.” Actually, it gives people an eye disorder. The inspector scowled, muttering something under his breath that sounded like ‘Bane’, but probably was ‘insane’. Quite true. She’s his bane and drives him insane. Or is she insane? Chuck,
I wish I could see you, but it’s up to me now to save the world. Perry, Jimmy, and I miss you. Okay, Cat does too. Take care and come home soon.
Love,
Meena WALLY: You take what you can get. The day nurse had introduced his night nurse, Michelle, a perky, middle-aged, curly-haired blonde, Hey, where’s Mindy? That may be, Michelle, Clark retorted in his mind. But you haven’t seen mine. He kept this thought to himself. LOIS: She better stay away. His stomach churned unpleasantly at that name. “Please don’t call me that,” he requested. So, he’s named just like the president? Does that make Michelle his Monica? no, a super heroine, who often flew off, literally, to save the world. Her costume would be a blue shimmery bikini top with an attached gauzy skirt and shiny golden briefs. A memory! He heard a whoosh sound, and a cool breeze blew into the room, causing him to force open his reluctant eyes. There standing before him in the darkened room was the woman from the drawing. Meena.

She went to remove them, but then stopped herself. Then again, she might be wearing less-than-fullsized underwear. She tugged on his wrists, until he reluctantly let go of her bottom. She shifted his hands up to her chest, under her blouse, using the scenic route. “Which do you want to be in charge of?” she inquired. “Buttons or bra?” Two seconds later, he pushed both articles of clothing from her shoulders, but he had lost the power of speech again.

Clark jerked upright. The heat and pleasure that had overtaken his body, causing it to spasm, had been overpowering. “Well, since you’re awake, how about we take that walk to the john, Jonathan?” Naughty Virginia! “That must have been some dream, your sheets are all over… and wet. Michael

Michael: Wow, you're already up to 93 and I'm way back here. I don't have much time because I *really* should be working on my taxes and filling out my insurance renewal paperwork... but maybe if I procrastinate with one or two FDK, it wouldn't be soooooo bad, right? It’s so you immediately know whether they’ve accidently put you into a freezer in the morgue. Wouldn't the lack of cold be the key factor? So, it’s a bit like Corrina’s Trusting Me, Trusting You? Only with a good cop instead of a bad cop? I vaguely remember that scene, but I don't think that was Henderson in her story was it? No tiny Lois in there, huh? No. So… /reads between lines/ It is a picture of Lois after all? Not that kind of landscape. LOIS: What?! The scenery got blasted by a nuclear firestorm back in his own dimension? A Challenge! I always pronounce it ‘menn-h-a’ in my head. ‘me’ as in ‘me’, emphasis on the ‘n’, a slightly vocal ‘h’ and the ‘a’ like in ‘car’. And now I googled around a bit and figured out, the Portuguese pronounce it a tad differently than a German speaker would. Who’d have thought… Lois doesn't know Portuguese so this is her interpretation of the spelling on this nickname. Funny aside, it always reminded me of this Minna... It also has a bit of a stocky house maid connotation and is ocationally used to refer to the automated household machinery such as a washing machine or the dishwasher. It always made me grin when putting this spin on Clark’s endearment. Oh dear, is that Lois heading this way? <<goes out to buy a box of DFCB for protection>> That's great. I love that Minna means "Protection". Lex could offer to help him recover his memory in the Luthor Institute for Brain Disorders. Provided morality and understanding of right and wrong are nurture, not nature, this might help The Boss™ out a lot with future endeavors. Until he goes the way of Darth Plaegious. Well, let's hope Lex doesn't get ahold of him then. The next victim in his serial killer collection. Awkward! WALLY: You take what you can get. CLARK: That's okay. I'm fine without having my temperature taken. I was tempted to make Michelle Mindy, but then I decided that was too many coincidences in one story. Plus, I was trying not to have Clark abused while in the hospital. Michelle looks more like: [img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTRCGwpseHNYLslWfQzRjE3kW_dTZIY7xkEXQe5ShNRlYDA6AcY[/img] LOIS: <<mad> She better stay away. It's better for her health. So, he’s named just like the president? Does that make Michelle his Monica? CLARK:

-- Continuation of my Response to Michael's FDK -- She reached up and caressed his forehead, brushing back a lock of his hair. “One curl, not two.”
ER:See? So, it's bad luck to displease Lois? <<cough>> Gfic. <<cough>> But feel free to use your imagination. He probably should not mention that to Meena. CLARK: Cat who? ER: <<thinks this a good idea>> CLARK: Well, if she insists. Well, umm… no, but he’s not got any memories, so… Then again, him shouting “Rachel” in the heat of the moment would be a tad awkward. Probably. Wouldn’t they worry he’s flatlined? Nah. The monitor is in the room and they only check the paper when they check vitals. MICHELLE: So, Mr. Doe, what's this spike in heart rate, here, here, here, and here? Then again, she might be wearing less-than-fullsized underwear. CAT: <<scoffing>> Lois? Lois? I do what I can.

Virginia said: I've been thinking lately that the "Twilight" novel might have once been a skewed LnC (or Superman) fanfiction. Edward as Clark. Bella as Lois. Only she had to change it for publication due to copywrite. Although I think you should have just stuck with LnC and not suggested any other Superman at all. It works based on what I know of Twilight, which isn't much, but still. Lois doesn't know Portuguese so this is her interpretation of the spelling on this nickname. Plus in her defense she has only ever heard him say it. She has not received his to be delivered on not returning letter yet. I was tempted to make Michelle Mindy, but then I decided that was too many coincidences in one story. Plus, I was trying not to have Clark abused while in the hospital. I guess since you don't have to pay your voiced staff, you can get away with more talking characters and less overlap than in a TV show. President Doe Elect doesn't show up for several years in this dimension.... well, at least, the canon version of this dimension. And since this dimension exists at all since he erased himself from it, I don't think they need to worry about him here, ever.

Originally posted by John Lambert: Although I think you should have just stuck with LnC and not suggested any other Superman at all. It works based on what I know of Twilight, which isn't much, but still. There's whole section of the "Twilight" book where Bella's trying to guess how Edward is "different" and can do the things he does. She asks if he was bitten by a radioactive spider, and laughing, he replies that Kryptonite doesn't bother him either. Then he says: "What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm the villain?" Whenever I read about that scene I can picture Clark growing up thinking that he's a villain, because of what he could do, and not a hero, and how conflicted he is (like Edward) to being stuck with that label. The only problem with my theory is I don't know who Jacob would be? He's no Dan Scardino, and making him Jimmy is just beyond weird. Jacob is more like a younger, happy Batman; more human than Edward, but still able to do different things. Although, when he gets his powers, it makes him grow-up pretty quickly and he gets all serious all of a sudden, so he would work as a Batman-esque character. The Voltarie (the bad Vampires in the Twilight books) could easily be Zod or Nor stand-ins. It could be a half-baked theory, but it there are just too many similarities for me to discount it completely. Plus in her defense she has only ever heard him say it. She has not received his to be delivered on not returning letter yet. Clark's not returning? I guess since you don't have to pay your voiced staff, you can get away with more talking characters and less overlap than in a TV show. Another perk to writing FanFic. And since this dimension exists at all since he erased himself from it, I don't think they need to worry about him here, ever. LOIS: Thank goodness for small miracles!

Wow, you're already up to 93 and I'm way back here. Caught up now. Except for FDK FDK FDK. I don't have much time because I *really* should be working on my taxes Over here, those get done automatically. You only need to send in a form if you want to get a tax return. but maybe if I procrastinate with one or two FDK, it wouldn't be soooooo bad, right? Sounds okay in my book. Wouldn't the lack of cold be the key factor? Nah… I vaguely remember that scene, but I don't think that was Henderson in her story was it? Was referring to Trask in general abusing a locked up Clark. Not that kind of landscape.

You only need to send in a form if you want to get a tax return. Do you mean "refund"? Because, here, the "return" is the paperwork you do to figure out whether or not you owe the govn't or they owe you. You may not believe it but I'm really good at procrastination. Especially when it comes to housework. Was referring to Trask in general abusing a locked up Clark. CLARK: Okay, time to change the subject. Bob just wrote about that in Lois Lane meets… Yep, that's what I meant. And to think, 50 Shades of Gray started off as fanfiction of Twilight (useless factoids collected by being unable to avoid pop-culture stuff in the news). Which in turn would mean… His glasses give *other* people an eye disorder when he wears them. WALLY: Did you just see Kent? His eyes glowed. Oh. Was that one of the molds I wasn't supposed to break? Introducing new characters? Ooops. Plus, I was trying not to have Clark abused while in the hospital. Michelle looks more like: [Eric Forman]
ER: <being naughty> No HIS mother! EW: So, it's bad luck to displease Lois?
ER: Duh! CLARK: Well, that explains a lot in my life. It’s not related to the tea spilled on the bed. I can tell you that much. No, the spikes in heart rate came earlier. ER: I did not know that it was just his imagination. LOIS: Are you telling me he was bored while I was sitting there right next? CLARK: Meena was actually here? She's real? I've got to go find her! To Infinity and Beyond! <<jumps out of window>> MICHELLE: Oh, dear. <<glancing at smear on sidewalk>>
