Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic Comments: Homecoming 2

Well, what do you think?

Oh, I am loving this so far! Clark has definitely noticed Lois now, alright. Would this be love at second sight?

Still want to know how he got from homeless fugitive to employed student. Is he still in hiding, or did he get officially cleared of any charges?

A great part! Lois = suspicious of everyone. It's got to be a huge relief to her that Clark thinks she's pranking him. Of course she isn't going to let Clark know about the story and the photos.

BTW, is this Clark on the football team? I can't see that he would have time to do that, given that he's probably working two or three jobs.

And I'm in agreement - we want to know how Clark went from homeless-on-the-street kid to kid-in-school-with-a-courier-job.

Another excellent part. Lois confronting Clark only to have him ignore her and her not understanding it. I'm practically screaming at the computer, 'Hello, Lois. His towel dropped in front of you. If that isn't a reason for him not to want to talk to you, what would be?' Duh!

I'm glad Clark brought that up and wasn't willing to let her walk all over him. Still Lois refuses to give an inch. Love it!

Does Clark know the truth or does he really suspect "prank" or is he just saying 'prank' to get her off his back?

It was winter when he arrived in Metropolis (snow on the ground and everything). This seems to be sometime in the next school year, possibly in the spring of his sophomore year. So, maybe 18 months later. (I'm guessing this because Lois probably couldn't intern at the DP or go on a year/semester abroad program until at least her junior year in High School). I want to know where Clark is living. How are Charlie and Rufus? This school is one of the better schools, in one of the better districts, so how can Clark afford to live around there, if Ellen Lane can't, unless he's still on the streets?

Was it love at first sight? I doubt it.
Although, it might be love at first smile.

Uh-oh. Clark Kent is in troooouuuubbbblllleee.

Another great part. I really enjoyed the part where Lois finally got Clark to talk to her, especially the end.

I'm looking forward to the next part.

Love the story. Hate the suspense.

In school, more stable living arrangements(?) and a job--it looks like things are getting better for Clark. That is, as long as Lois doesn't see a story hiding there.

Splitting Lois and Lucy up is an unusual twist. Curious as to where that is heading.

Tommy Chong on That 70's Show immediately came to mind.

Wow. Does that bring back memories. My Aunt and Uncle both had Rabbit diesels--and they both averaged 50-52 MPG. The pickup body finally rusted irretrievably and the car had an engine fire when the black sheep of the family borrowed it during a visit. You had to have known someone who had one.

I grew up then and still check my mileage almost every time I fill the car.

Thanks for a great installment.

Interesting; Clark has managed to get himself a good job and into a good school. He's got direction, and a shot. And now he's got Lois.

I also really like Lois -- we don't usually get to see her like this at this age.

Well done. While I would have liked to see more of the years between the end of Vagrant and the beginning of Homecoming I am hoping it will show up in flashbacks.

Bicycle Delivery, wow, I would never of thought of it but it is clearly a natural for Clark, his superspeed can give him an edge while still being hidden. Nice one.


I am assuming Clark is still without a home. Likely has a POBox and a campsite such as are found in Portland's Forest Park ?

and he was using the shower in the locker room because he doesn't have a shower? Or perhaps he was returning from a Superfeat?


Anyways I am looking forward to more.

BTW a blog that might be of interest
Survival Guide to Homelessness

Actually, that blog was one of many that I used in my research for Vagrant. Thanks!

I'm glad Lois managed to get through to Clark.

that Clark has a job. I'm not sure that the job he has pays much more than fast food, but it probably looks a lot better on resumes.
