Oh, Look! It's a bird! A plane! No, an Evil Writer has finally made time jump forward a week in time within one part (and without a time machine or HG Wells)! My apologies on the slow pace of this story. This might happen on occasion for the foreseeable future.

Comments welcome.

Is his arm in a sling? I'd expect that at the least. And it's not just the damage to his shoulder that would give him problems; it's also the blood loss. I feel woozy enough after giving blood, and that is without the system-wide shock and localized trauma.

He's messing up. Sooner or later this will come back to bite him, I hope, but it's still not enough by itself to lead to the idea of a clone.

I can see why Lois might think this, but it doesn't really make sense. If Lex needed surgery, it would likely be to stitch things back together, not just cauterize the wound to stop the bleeding.

Lois sure is telling him a lot about the investigation, which doesn't seem wise, but I guess it's all bound to become public knowledge soon, anyway.

Sure. And you had no one you could have asked to call her with an update.

Second-hand exposure?

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I like Lois's reasoning on why cozying up to Lex is useless. Now if she will actually extricate herself from dating him, then maybe she can actually do her job and investigate him properly. I hope she doesn't decide that she can continue dating him and end up at the alter not seeing any way out. That gets a bit tiresome, especially when she knows he's dirty.

This seems like the only solid argument for her investigating him herself. If she plays her cards right, though, she might be able to work with Henderson and get the kryptonite secured. I'm sure they wouldn't give it to her, but it would probably end up at S.T.A.R. Labs instead of in the main evidence lockup where apparently any villain can walk in and waltz out with evidence.

If she changes her statement, would that be perjury? Or at least revealing that she perjured herself the first time around?

Lois, you're an idiot.

So Lois has her watch back. Are there any bugs in it? She needs to have Superman scan it for her. Leave the bug in her apartment, then go to the roof and call for him. Tell him that Lex gave her her missing watch back, but since she knows he's dirty, she's afraid it might be bugged, so will he please scan it for anything unusual? Then he flies in her window and takes a look. This not only gets the watch thoroughly scanned without dismantling it, it also lets Clark know why she's acting like such a tool.

I understand that she needs to work hard for her scoops, but she shouldn't sacrifice her morals or her self-respect to do so.

That only works if she tells Clark that the watch has a tracker in it!

Can they arrest the mayor for inciting a riot for this? I imagine that the city would go nuts to find out they'd been sitting in a couple of nukes and that there was no guarantee that there weren't more around.

All these flower colors only mean anything if everyone knows what they're supposed to mean. There are so many social "conventions" and "rules" that are obscure and only exist because Ms. Manners' grandmother wrote them in a book fifty years ago and wedding planners and the like need to justify their existence. I'm more of the mindset that you should choose flowers based on what you think the receiver would like.

Sorry. I think I'm in a ranting mood at the moment.

Is this really common knowledge? And in what circles? I've only ever heard that yellow roses are for friendship in that one episode and in L&C fics.

How can they believe him? But if they keep looking anyway, how long should they keep at it before they decide he's telling the truth? I suppose they would also look into possible ways that Fuentes could have obtained a nuke, and if it's sufficiently unreasonable then there's a good reason to believe him.

This could become problematic, but I guess Perry could find a way to smooth it over without letting Clark know that he knows. I imagine that Clark's travel costs are nonexistent if he's going "on his own dime", so he would have no receipts to give Perry to be reimbursed. Perry needs to offer for show, though.

What a whiny !@#$.

Is she actually going to tell him about her Luthor investigation? I hope so.

Could she mean "octopus"?

For what it is worth, Lex being more aware of what happened then he seemed to be would not lead to a conclusion of "Lex was not there". It might lead to a thought of "Lex had this taped". Actually, most likely it leads Lois to think "Lex has the DP bugged", but doesn't she already know that?

Her undercover operation is finally paying off.

she still rates Superman #1.

What is unreasonable about it, the other guy has tried to kill him multiple times. Tries to steal his girl friend. What has he to not be hostile about?

Which he shows by speaking ill of the other man.

Lois:No, Clark is much better at thanking.

Famous last words.

I have to agree with that assessment.

But if he knew what she wanted, he would have no fear, because he could be on full guard.

So she does have evidence against him.




It think that should be "would be angry." that I missed it before.

If she wants equivalency it needs to be hombre y mujer.

About all I can say in the messages is that I hope Clark saved them so that he can listen to them again and maybe catch some important details he missed the first time.

I agree, but it's just one more instance of Lex acting inconsistently to signal that something's off.

Perjury only applies under oath. Since Henderson did not swear her to an oath, she can't be guilty of perjury. Obstruction of justice maybe, but not perjury. But I doubt he would want to press charges, and if Lois can be at all key in bringing down Luthor, neither will the DA office, unless Drake gets too close to the case.

Lois is assuming Cat will tell Clark if she disappears. I know, assumptions are bad, but she hopes this one works.

The first amendment, applied to the states through the 14th, makes inciting a riot a hard charge. A government official detailing the results of an important investigation will not result in an arrest. Even if a riot does result.

Why would she want to do that? Isn’t that right up there with touching Ralph?

I think that should read ‘mistress’…

Taking in lots of fluids to recover from the night of sex with Ari? Good thing Lois will never be this eager and willing or Lex would have himself an unholy Trifecta of mistresses.

Sometime later…
LEX: Mrs. Cox, Ms. Lane said that she called after I had been shot.
Mrs. Cox: Sir, I am afraid Ms. Lane is showing more and more signs of delusional behavior.

So, some flowers dusted with an assortment of bio-agents ranging from diarrhea to hemorrhagic fevers?

Nah, he’d also accept if she sent him her underwear and a note that she’s currently outside, no longer wearing any.

mrsMxyzptlk: A super long FDK!

Thank you for your comments and continued readership, despite the lunkheaded beliefs of my characters.

John: Oh, boy! More FDK.

She already assumes that her desk is bugged again.

CLARK: How is heading into Lex's private quarters "paying off"?

Quote

she wants to slap Luthor.

Okay. I added that one in for you.

Quote

Fortunantely nothing, since the one who was shot still has a bleeding shoulder.

LEEK: So, my frog DNA antiserum isn't going to work?

Quote

But if he knew what she wanted, he would have no fear, because he could be on full guard.

LOIS: Yeah. Okay. You got me there.

Quote

So she does have evidence against him.

LEX: I have no idea how that tracer got into the watch. Miss Lane must have planted it there to incriminate me.
MAYSON: Sadly, Ms. Lane, Mr. Luthor has a point. You've had means and opportunity to tamper with the watch. It won't count as evidence.
LOIS: But... but... I've written proof from STAR Labs that the day he gave me the watch, it had the tracer.
MAYSON: And you didn't have the opportunity between he gave you the watch and arriving at STAR Labs to have one of your associates plant the tracer in the watch. Did you not hand over the information on how to track the watch to your co-worker Ms. Grant?

It think that should be "would be angry."

Fixed. Thanks.

would that be hombre y amiga, being that I’m a woman?
JOHN: If she wants equivalency it needs to be hombre y mujer.

Yes, but that would be accurate. I'm implying that even though Spanish was Lois's language in school, it's been long enough ago that she doesn't have Clark's ability for languages, even in this one.

HENDERSON: Also, as a member of the press, Ms. Lane is constantly obstructing justice.
LOIS: Hey! I've closed more cases this year than you!

Well, as long as Cat isn't distracted by... Oh, Hi Phil!

Anyway, the DP has already reported on the findings of Superman, so this isn't exactly "new" information he's imparting to the masses. More of him acknowledging that there's an ongoing investigation.

Well, she does not pretend to get engaged to Stoke, or to be dating him long term. Clark does seem to think she really has lost it when he meets her at the Stoke Club, but he wisely does not try to force her out.

I guess the main difference is the time involved.

Well, it doesn't seem like "being on the inside" has gotten her much so far. I think she would be much more effective if she wasn't spending her time and effort cozying up to Lex.

It's similar, but she wasn't carrying on a very public and extended relationship with Stoke. She just made doe eyes at him for an hour or two, and she actually got good information out of it. Maybe she should have felt gross afterward. Lois needs to decide just where to draw the line. What is she willing to do to get a story? Dress up like a tart? Flirt with a criminal? Date a criminal? Get engaged to one? Sleep with one? At what point is she being a dedicated journalist, and at what point is she being a slut, like she accused Linda of?

I wasn't being serious about the mayor being in legal trouble; I was trying to make a point about the people's likely reaction. Obviously I failed to communicate properly. :p

Thank you for your continued authorship, despite my not always commenting.

Darth Michael: I'm less than a month behind. /looks at calender, hurries to finish today's FDK response/

Technically...
LOIS: Yes.
EW: No, what I meant to say was that no matter how much Lois may dislike Mrs. Cox, she's still Lex's assistant and if he's in a medical facility somewhere, and nobody is answering Lex's home/private line, she may be the only way for Lois to find Lex.
LOIS: :rolleyes: Whatever. I still agree with Michael that it's up there with touching Ralph.

LOIS: Potato. Tomato.

LEX: Foursome!
ARI: That's not what he said.
LEX: Foursome!
Dr. M: Mr. Luthor, you can't handle a foursome.
LOIS: Better make it just a threesome because I'm not coming.

Yes, that sounds about accurate.

CLARK:
SUPERMAN: /returns with neck to ankles flannel nightgown with matching PJ bottoms/

But Clark and Lana have broken up.

Thanks.

Well, also, Stoke isn't as big a baddie as Lex is.

Yes, those are all things Lois will have to think about.

Yeah, my sarcasm doesn't always translate through the lines too.

I appreciate any and all comments. They just make inspire me to work faster and...
LOIS: Yes, work faster. Get me out of this mess!
EW: You want out? My bad.
CLARK:

Michael

Dr. LEIT: I can blind you. For a small fee if you like.

Did you mean the latter? Because the former was funnier.

GOD:

CLARK: Soooooo, her bedroom?

Yes. 'Thank You'.
LEX: Isn't a large bill 'thank you' enough?

CLARK:
LOIS: *I* went on a date with Clark, too... um... Right. He took me out for my birthday. Date. /fist pump/

Well, that would be really bad if it had worms.

LEX: Plan on loosing? Ha! Never! Okay, I *may* have a panic button if the police come with warrants which wipes the hard drive of my computer and sets fire to my filing cabinet, and I may have to distract them so they don't know I'm doing that... but why would I kill myself?

LOIS: Gee, Lex, another pile of blood corpses for Valentine's Day. How lovely.

Well, she WAS hoping to be covered by something in Spandex.
SUPERMAN: /flies off returns with UW uniform/
LOIS: I meant a man in Spandex.
/many males of the Justice League raise their hands/
SUPERMAN: No.
LOIS: :rolleyes:

LOIS: I didn't 'leave' my second fiancee at the altar, was forcibly removed. And I rescinded my divorce request within two minutes, so it doesn't count.
