 I didn't recognize the first universe -- I'm guessing it's Smallville, which I had never been able to get into. The other two, however, were definitely familiar. A delightful idea well executed. And a solid contender for next year's Super Short and Comedy Kerth awards categories. Joy, Lynn

 Now I kinda want to see the parts where they fix these universes.  ...And by "kinda" I mean "really". Please post?

Absolutely loved it. What a great idea.
And yep the first one was Smallville. Clark took far too long to get over Lana (although the necklace only stuck around for a short while - with a couple of one off recurances later on) and took too long to see what was in front of him in Lois. Yup - Lunkhead.
How come all Clarks are Lunkheads (as well as being gorgeous, sexy, wonderful men)? Even THIS Lois's Clark was a Lunkhead - she just seems to have conveniently forgotten as she's now blissfully happy with him.

Clark: "And I love you ... Did we just make up?"
Lois: "I think so."

Yes, the first one was Smallville. Glad you like this. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Hi Barbara! “I’m beat”, Lois sighed, as she sank down onto the seat of the time-machine. Ooooh! Timetravel! /pops in BttF soundtrack/ This had already been a long day, and there was no telling when H.G. Wells would consider this mission to be complete. Once all Tempuses are back in their boxes.

It was just a tad bit darker than it used to be. Maybe Lois got a bit more ticked off during each trip, so trying to fix it just made it worse? “But I just don’t see why we should help all those tremendous lunkheads out there. Looo-issssss… They’re Lois and Clarks, just like you two. I didn’t know how lucky I am that *my* Clark is just a regular sized one.”  Michael

I loved this so much! I almost wonder what Wells would have done with the "Injustice" universe that is being set up. When you talk about the balance of things and how things are darker I almost expected that one to pop up (and if you don't know which one I'm talking about that's ok too.) I almost expect the Tempus from our uni to disappear into that one in bliss.
Edit: Darth, the pre-52 universe "doesn't exist" according to DC. IOW, it was wiped out of existence with the creation of the Flashpoint universe. I'm guessing another one in the "darker" column.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Aha! These are Superman movies.  Very well done closing sentence. I didn't see it coming until the end.

Okay, it isn't April yet, but looking out of my window, I'm not quite sure if it's even March. More like January, if you ask me. Not to brag, but it's a lot like April here...  Loved it! I assumed the first one was Smallville as wel, but I liked them all the same. Well done!

Very clever way to tie in all the versions of Superman.

I'm one of these people who watched "Superman Returns" BEFORE becoming addicting to LnC, so as a member of that general mass, I'm with bakasi here. Any relationship to Superman II was totally invisible to me. Even subsiquently learning this hasn't made that movie any better or make any more sense. It was just plain horrible. I do have a liking for the airplane rescue scene in "Superman Returns", however. That was pretty cool. Plus, there's something about the John Williams music that really does it for me.

I too, despite its gaping plot holes, liked Superman Returns. And in all honesty I like all the Superman movies (even if numbers 3 and 4 are just for laughs) :p And Iolanthe, if you like John Williams, you'll like this (I know I did!)

It took me a while to recognize the scenes from "Smallville" as I have only watched two shows and short clips from Smallville. One of the shows I watched was the finale, I know, that is cheating, but hey, it was fun.
The "Superman Returns" I recognized more from reading previous cross-over between LnC and Superman Returns.
I still have to shake my head at the memory wipe kiss. At least in LnC, it was not Clark who erased Lois' memory, although maybe he should have not hid the card she wrote. Although he didn't remember how it came to be, still it seemed odd he hid the card.

Wow, so much feedback! Thank you very much. I almost wonder what Wells would have done with the "Injustice" universe that is being set up. When you talk about the balance of things and how things are darker I almost expected that one to pop up (and if you don't know which one I'm talking about that's ok too.) I've really got no idea what you talking about, but then I don't know the superman comics, which pretty much explains everything. It sounds interesting thogh. Considering Superman I always liked LnC best. Everything else kind of paled in comparison. I watched Smallville till Season 6, but it never got me quite as hooked. There are a couple of episodes that I like very much and some aspects of the show are interesting. But it didn't have the atmosphere of LnC.

Granted it's still more 'teen' and 'comic universe' but it's Lois and Clark working opposite at the DP for 3 seasons.

Seasons 8 through 10 are really the Lois and Clark seasons. Consequetly, these are by far the best seasons of Smallville. Lana does do a return for much of the last half of Season 8, so you might want to skip many of those episodes. But 9 and 10 are Lana-free. Bob

Smallville never did anything for me. (Sigh) Tom Welling is cute and all, but the story were a little too tepid for my taste. Sorry Smallville fans!

I loved your story, bakasi. Great line at the end - very Lois, and also representative of the feelings (frustrations?) of many Superman fans.
