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

Now that your curiosity over what the other characters were doing after Luthor was shot, we'll return to our main character's POV in the next part.

Well, you wanted Lois and Clark to do more touching. Now, they can't help it if they tried.

Comments welcome.

EDIT: I noticed by reviewing my previous description of the ark, it is actually 500 Meters below Metropolis, not feet. This line has now been corrected. My apologies for not catching this error sooner.

I think you want to say "the ark".

It should either be "Indian Military Intelligence" or "India's Military Intelligence". I would probably go with the later, since I would probably say "the CIA, America's intelligence".

I have to say I like the added details and background on Asabi.

Very good point. Their cover is pretty lousy. Especially with their guard not really paying attention.

I'm surprised Lois does not have more dislike for Asabi, or did she never figure out he was her tail?

This has lead me to think they really need better security at the planet.

I think you either want to say "for that" or "For it".

Lois is getting her revenge.

Yes, interrupting Lex's night with Ariana would be bad. Well, at least for Asabi's standing. It might be good for the pheromone-infected Ariana.

Wait, but if it is an issue of St. John's phone not picking up, how would Asabi changing his phone help things?

But how would telling Mrs. Cox about this inform her of the existence of the ark?

Of, so that is why she tried to revive the body in "Another Lois", she did not realize it was a clone.

See, I knew Clark should not have saved him. It just makes things easier for Luthor.

Clark:No, I will be happy if someone takes Lex as far away from Lois as possible.

She won't die as long as Clark is there.

This will be hard, since everyone else will try to send the clone to the hospital. Luthor might have to fake a gun wound, and this might involve shooting himself.

Lois:Don't be crazy, I will do the shooting for him.

Hmm, with him able to go to the ark, this will not be nearly as difficult for Luthor as it ought to be.

I am surprised they have kept Mrs. Cox uninformed about the arc. Wait, but does she know about the clone?

It's the Adventures of Bill and Cat! woot! By day, she's a knockout society columnist in stilettos, and he's a not-so-much deskbound inspector. By night, they fight crime!

teehee

Looking good, Virginia. More please?

Arguably most terrorists are amateurs. They do it for the love of the cause, not the money. Which also means professional might not be the best word to describe what he has in mind.

Schumack:Why worry about guarding. Willie locked the doors, and we left Freddy in the van in the garage, so no one will get in.

Oh, I thought he was just going for efficiency.

Maybe he just gets stuck with the night shift. Policemen do that. Although, I would guess not so much at the level of Henderson, they probably officially work 9-5 on salary, and really work crazy, insane hours.

Because he found the watch. Cat and Lois really need to coordinate on this investigation.

Cat:And loose my chance to scoop her?

Lois:What, do you think I am stupid. I know what happens when you share your story, look what Claude did to me.

Cat:Well, they are already hostage, so it is after the fact.

Although since Henderson can't see her, that might not be why he is doing this.

She did say her previous search for Lois was for a friend, so Henderson's conclusion makes sense.

someone else understands that Lois and Clark are first and foremost friends. Although, it does not seem to work so well in this story.

Like he would ever believe it if she tried to claim Clark was her best friend.

He needs an ambulance immediately.

I still don't buy it. Speed is of the essence to save Luthor.

that Luthor is still alive.

Cat:I investigate for a living, I am a professional here.

So did he miss that there were two Jimmies?

My guess would be they all heard the sirens, except maybe the Lex-clone.

I thought he only responded to calls that really required his help. Except in "Target:Jimmy Olsen"., which I still think was the stupidest scene ever, Superman specifically making sure some punks cleaned up graffiti when Clark should have been talking with Lois. They really should have had some scenes where Clark apologized for running out on her too often. Hmm, maybe I should write them.

Superman stopping a crime seems to be more pressing if the police have not been notified.

Well, they have only met once, so it really does not tell us much.

What happened to letting the professionals do the searching.

For some reason the main thing that comes to my mind at this point is Lois wearing the vest in "Don't Tug on Superman's Cape".

This is a good point.

I am surprised that Bill does not have not marked vests for undercover work. Although, I guess if you are under-cover you can't often wear a vest.

Lois:Good point, it would never have worked at the Metro Club.

wouldn't that just make her disguise better, looking chunky?

But that would not change the issue that the man Asabi threw into Schumack was already on fire.

Hmm, I guess that works, maybe.

I think that should be "want to get".

I guess Cat can't tell him why they went off, since she does not know Henderson knows CK=SM.

Lois:How did everyone figure out before me.

Henderson:Wait, you didn't know?

Lois:Well, not until he rescued me as SM while his memory was still not all back.

Henderson:I didn't learn much before you.

I think you want to say "into the room" (yeah, I know, those pesky articles).

Wait, does she want to tell Henderson that. Shouldn't she at least say "someone" to not be so obvious.

Lois:Let the hussy get captured, she deserves it.

Now everyone gets to pretend they don't know.

Clark:It is true.

Clark:Although they aren't really talking distinctly enough for it to really work.

Henderson:I don't think anyone on this planet is as good at that as he is.

Lois is not connected with him.

“Houdini, huh?” Bill murmured. “Where are the gunmen?”

At first I thought he was saying they were all in Perry's office.

Oh, so he even clarifies for them. This is a really small operation.

It seems a bit odd to refer to them this way when Clark is one.

It is good Bill is so good at hand speak, otherwise we might be totally lost.

I really hope we get a recap of this section from Clark or Lois's view, or even Jimmy or Perry. Someone on the inside.

Bill is really good at covering that he knows CK=SM. So good, Lois and Clark might not know it ever in this story. that Lois and Luthor have the same initials, otherwise I could use their initials.

Now the big question is, does WH think CG knows that CK=SM.

Cat:The more important think is to know that CK loves LL.

So WH wants to know if CG knows.

Interesting she thinks of him as Lex and not Luthor. Especially when she has strong reason to suspect it isn't really Luthor.

what was Clark saying about "running into a nuclear explosion", I couldn't run either way for it to matter when the bomb went off.

But with Luthor out, shouldn't he be encouraging to take advantage of the chance to be affectionate.

Lois:Clark, you have to leave me.

Clark:Lois, if I do, and they let that bomb off, nothing else will matter.

Clark:Hey, I am the one who gets to be real close to the love of my life.

But he knows Superman has been stuck upstairs all this time. That makes no sense.

Why assume it was Superman. If Bill can be sneaking around with few people knowing why not someone else. Do they really think Luthor has that little security that he would just wander into the DP with no backup. That is actually the biggest issue with Flyhard, why did Luthor not bring his body guard.

Lois:I covered for him.

Actually though, how is Bill so sure it was the gunmen and not more late-night employees?

Lex Gaurds. Don't leave home without them.

Well, no real cleaning company would leave a driver in the van.

Clearly it didn't, so no point in worrying.

Why does he call her Catherine and not Cat? Also, it is a bit odd he says Catherine and she doesn't respond with William.

If he were dealing with Mad Dog Lane he would get a kick in the ribs for that comment.

Actually, he is still assuming that there is a direct connection between the van incident and them men in advertising. There is no real evidence for such. Occam's razor might suggest such, but in reality the simplest explantion (here read as few people as possible) is not always correct.

It might just be a random criminal who slit the guy in the van's throat, unrelated to the other incident.

One more over Lois and Clark touching. Even if we did not get to directly hear either of them this part.

I'm trying to figure out how that would work. I have one image of them pretty much spooned with his right hand able to entwine with her right and the same with her left while the two handcuffs are twisted together. Is this correct?

Regardless, this once again makes for fun intimacy between the two of them in a way that I adore.

I can't wait to hear their story on how that predicament came about.

My apologies. Part 130 will be delayed. I doubt I'll have written the ten pages needed to post by tomorrow night, so let's be realistic and say Tuesday. I'm optimistic that my writing time will be more generous than during this past week, when it was reduced to what felt like nil.

My five part minimum cushion is necessary for emergencies such as what I'm currently working on. I've moved around several scenes to make them fit the way I'd like in 134 (or how they feel best), but I believe it works better if I separate them completely and allow them to stand alone in 135, which means I need to write 10 more pages to finish Part 134. If I didn't have my cushion, my story would suffer plot wise. Thanks for bearing with me.



Also, for Lois and Clark's positioning at the end of Part 129. Have someone shorter than you stand in front of you with their back towards your chest. (I used my daughter for my test run). If you both cross arms (make an X) over the person in front's stomach (with one person grabbing the wrist of the other person to simulate handcuffs), either two things happen: a) you get out (uncross arms) easily, or b) you're really stuck. I find if the arms in front are layered: Person A - right arm, Person B - left arm, Person A - left arm, Person B - right arm, you'll find that it is much more difficult to get free than if done Right, Right, Left Left, or Person A, Person A, Person B, Person B. But it's late, and my brain is fuzzy so I may have mixed up the hand positions as I worked this out weeks ago. I'll double check it in the morning and let you know.

Also, up first in Part 130 is Lois's POV of the last scene.

LEX: Oooooh! I’m having my wedding night with Lois. And Superman gets to watch Michael

Thank you all for your patience. With my kids back in school, I'm going to try and spend an hour a day catching up with my FDK. First up, Part 129... Yes, I enjoyed pairing Cat and Henderson together in this story. Alas, it wasn't meant to be... in this story.

Thank you. Do you mean more Cat and Henderson? They *will* meet again before this story is finished.


Christina: In case you missed it, I did explain the positioning again during Lois POV (or after your initial Comment).
Yes, I wanted to make it more fun for both of them than canon was. Let's just say, LnC never had them handcuffed together (as is a requirement on all buddy-cop / buddy-criminal films), so I felt the need to remedy that mistake.


Michael: Terribly sorry, but I'm only as far as Part 117 in responding to your FDK, I believe, so I'll answer your FDK for this part in turn.

***

Sadly, I started this FDK response screen almost 12 hours ago and this is as far as I got, due to almost constant interruptions since then. Then when I sat down to finish this tonight my Internet connection failed.

John: I promise to get to your FDK first thing in the morning as I have some writing I want to get done tonight. My apologies on yet another delay.

John: Thanks for the long FDK!

Thank you. Fixed.

Thanks. Fixed.

I figured since Nigel St. John was ex-MS6 (is that right?) that Asabi as Lex's personal bodyguard/driver/servant wouldn't be just a regular joe either.

It never made sense to me why Fuentes had come in a van but planned to leave via helicopter. So, even though he whines about having planned this heist for 10 months or so, I'd say it wasn't well thought out.

He's former military intelligence. The man is also well versed in disguises and isn't as easy to spot as Lex's normal private detectives.

BATMAN: I take offense at that statement regarding private detectives.
SUPERMAN: So, you're a normal private detective?
BATMAN: Objection withdrawn.

I've always wondered about this. They added extra security to the Daily Planet on several occasions (once I think during Witness and another time during DTOSMCape), but it never seems to last long. People are always sneaking in (Ms. Travino, Samathana, Kyle Griffin), and easily at that.

BRASS UPSTAIRS: We currently don't have the funds to pay to keep our reporters safe. They should do that by not doing anything stupid.
PERRY: And, thusly, not getting any scoops for our front page.

Thanks. Fixed.

So, what you're saying that this couldn't possibly be happening?

PERRY: What do you mean you're buying the Daily Planet?

LEX: I didn't know that Asabi's middle name was 'James', otherwise I would have hired him.

There's a direct telephone line from Mr. Luthor's penthouse and the ark suite.

Nor had she been informed about Lex-C. Anyway, because the Lex-Clone lives in the Ark, and needs medical attention, bringing her in might inadvertently expose her to it.

That is possible. Although, if she did that, she did it without the assistance of Arianna. Lois never discovered who actually stole Lex-C's body in Another Lois. It could have been Arianna to cover up the fact that he had frog DNA.

Not necessarily. Also, allowing someone to die when he has the knowledge and means to save someone, would eventually eat away at Clark's soul.

LEX: I find it doesn't bother me anymore.
LOIS: You have a soul?
LEX: Yes, Lois. I was born with a soul.
ASABI: That's debatable.



Thankfully, Asabi doesn't know that.

You forgot her innocently batting her eyelashes when she says this.

You shall see.

Mrs. Cox knows neither about the ark (she wasn't invited) or the clone. They meant his work schedule and meeting schedule would have to be curtailed due to his "injury", which will be known by others because it was witnessed by all those reporters.

Professional meaning "experience with terrorism", as in they've done this sort of thing before.

It's not like there's all those workers in the print shop to worry about. Oooops.

That too.

I would assume (hope) that there are detectives and inspectors on or on-call every hour of the day in big city police departments. Especially since crime usually happens at night, but investigating said crime usually happens during the day.

Cat's referring to her Gucci watch investigation, not the red & green watch.

CAT: Lois, you can be guaranteed that I will *never* sleep with you to steal one of your stories.

He meant when the situation was already over, but good point.

CAT: He doesn't need to see me to recall that I'm a gorgeous woman with a sense of style.

Well, this Clark started out with a different agenda than canon Clark regarding Lois.

He might. Also, Cat claiming that Clark is her best friend doesn't necessarily preclude both Cat and Lois from being Clark's best friends. Although, Cat and Clark's relationship is more friendly as opposed to romantic as Clark and Lois's relationship is, which is why he's keeps referring to Cat as his 'best friend'. He sees Lois as being more than that.

CAT: Clark's there. Also, I don't care if Lex dies.

Cat believes if Lex's life was truly in danger, Clark would do something about it.

HENDERSON: I thought you said you gave it away for free.

Yes.

Don't worry, Lois called him on it after her reffed the kids' baseball game. Cat doesn't know which criteria Clark uses to pick which emergency calls to answer.

-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK --
Good point.

CAT: I'm highly memorable no matter what clothes I wear.

He's coming with her. Also, having experience with Lois, Henderson has found it's best not to leave a reporter unattended in such scenarios.

Does Bill do undercover work anymore? I thought he was only an investigator type inspector.

Yes, but if someone DID recognize her, Cat would be mortified to be considered looking "chunky".

No, but it means that the building didn't catch fire and burn down.

Thanks. Fixed.

Also, Cat doesn't know for sure why the sprinklers went off.

Yeah. That conversation will never happen. Sorry.



But if he had...

She introduced herself as "Catherine" and he introduced himself as "Bill".

Yep.

True, but until proven otherwise, they are related.

That's what Asabi is hoping they think.

Thank you for the comments!

Darth Michael: Hey, Look! It's only taken me a month to do 12 FDKs. My apologies. I'm getting better, I promise.


LEX-C: But I was told I could kiss her cheek!

LEX:

LOIS:
CLARK:

Or he could start skimming off the top and end up with a nice little retail outfit where he sells meditation supplies and soul-switching rocks.

ASABI: I plead the fifth.
NIGEL: As head of LexCorp security, it is my job to check out those apartments ahead of time. Yes.

They're pre-trained, have low morals, and a love for cash?

Exactly. Anyway, wouldn't a car alarm be more cost-effective?

Because he used the bunker as a secret lab before Nightfall.

MRS. COX: What do you mean I'm not first on the Mrs. Luthor list?

True.
LOIS: Octopus! Octopus! Octopus!

Exactly.

NIGEL: We should really stop hiring people with the lowest bid, sir.

Thanks. Fixed.

That was the implication.
LOIS: Awwww. I've spoiled him for other reporters. How sweet!

In the episode of That 70s Show that I watched last night, it was brought up that guys fight as a way of making amends with their friends. Girls fight to the death.
LOIS: /after finishing stringing up Linda by her toenails/ So, what are you implying with that statement?



CAT: Oh, right, silly me. I totally forgot that criminals can't read.

The blowtorch or catching the criminal on fire?
ASABI: And?

Oh, it looks like Clark found a lemon after all.

BILL: /coughing/ I'm that good.

CLARK:

ASABI: Oooops. I didn't mean to imply...
LEX: Hey. Hmmmm. That's a swell idea!

SUPERMAN: And Lois thinks *I'm* a stickler for the laws.

Yes, certainly looks that way

NIGEL: /applies another slap with a wooden board/ Face cheek. Not butt cheek.

Michael

I'm all caught up... except for the FDK-FDK-FDK of... what's that? Oh, look, new FDK over Part 147.

LEX-C: But that's where father said I must kiss him!

So, better to get out of the business before Lois takes her machete to him as a mere henchman?

Eventually the cost of the man sitting in the car will be more than the initial cost of the car alarm.
LEX: By then I'll have bought a new car.
CAT: Well, that explains his garage.
EW: Were we even talking about Lex?
LEX: It doesn't matter. All conversations turn to me after a while. I'm that interesting.
BATMAN: If he says "I'm Lex Luthor" I'm suing him for trademark infringement.

Michael

LOIS: /leans over and tucks Lex-C into bed/ Yes, I'm evil. I'm sending your Father to prison for all the bad things that he did and then I'm going to run off an shag my writing partner.
LEX-C: Now, I'll have nightmares!

I'm sorry. Which man are you pointing at?
NIGEL: /Raises hand/ Me?
ASABI: /punches him in the jaw/ No, me.
