Heyy guys I know you all are wondering "what the hell was lois thinking?"
Lol well the fact is that she really wasn't thinking with her head on her shoulders, she just missed being in Clark's presence so much that it hurt too much and even though it's been over a year she still hasn't gotten over it and it all hurts just the same and so she was just desperate to be with him again that she saws an opportunity and took it, she wasn't thinking about what the consequences were.
I know that in the show, Clark Luthor was an asshole I'm making this more AU in my version, the episode 'Kent' never happened and Oliver is still alive in that other world. And Lionel never came to the Earth-1, he stayed and he died of old age and now Clark is the owner of al his assets. He's still a complete ass as you read along the story I'm not changing much about his character in the story, just the situation with him and other characters. Here's a glimpse of Earth-2 Clark Luthor. Enjoy!
Chapter 10: Cowboy Casanova- Carrie Underwood
He looks like a cool drink of water, But he's candy-coated misery. He's the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes, and he only comes out at night. Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight. You better run for your life.
Metropolis: Earth-2
"Here are the bank statements, and all controlling interests of Queen Industries Mr. Luthor." The investment banker takes out a couple of sheets from his file and slides it across the glass table. "I just need you to sign these papers and you will be the sole owner of both LuthorMedia and Queen Industries."
Clark takes out his pen and signs his name on 6 papers, sliding it back to the banker. They both stand up as he straightens up his black Armani suit, shaking the man's hand, "Thank you Robert. I'm gonna need a copy of those so don't be a stranger." He says with a stern tone as Robert, the banker nods his head and exits his office, just as Oliver Queen walks in from the elevator, with his hands in his pockets. Clark looks up at him with a smirk on his face and heads towards the bar to pour himself a glass of scotch, "Well well, Oliver Queen doing the walk of shame once his arch enemy takes over his company. To what do I owe the pleasure of you pathetic presence?"
Oliver narrows his eyes at Clark, "I just want some answers. Why did you do it Luthor?"
"Well it wasn't all me. I have your wife to thank for all of this." Taking a sip of his scotch, Clark points a finger towards him, "Oh wait... that's ex-wife now isn't it?" Oliver stares him down while Clark chuckled to himself, "What can I say. You have no one to blame but yourself for everything that you lost."
Oliver shook his head at him, "How could you do it? You caught Lois at her most vulnerable and took advantage of it."
"I'm not the one she married and then caught in bed with someone else Queen. What was her name again, Dinah Lance was it? Tsk tsk Oliver I thought you were looked up at by the public as a family man? A man who would never cheat on his wife."
Oliver sighed, "That's none of your business." He paused for a moment while he looked back at Clark, "So this was your plan the whole time? You just waited until our divorce settled and when we split our shares of Queen Industries?"
Clark shrugged, "I'm a patient man. Once you two decided to share Queen Industries, I knew when to pounce. You're the one who's half went bankrupt remember? Consider it me doing you a favor."
Oliver scoffed at him, "You think by buying Lois' half out you did me a favor? She didn't know any better and you blinded her by helping you in a hostile takeover against me!"
"Lane didn't seem to care much that she helped me buy out your company. I actually haven't seen her since she sold and I doubt it's beating her up. Hell she might even be celebrating, in this case it's the ultimate revenge of the ex." Laughing into his glass, he watched Oliver at his weakest point and smirked at his victory. These two were always arch enemies since boarding school in Excelsior Academy. They grew up on different sides of the country, but somehow managed to cross paths again in Metropolis due to business and the feud began again. "You know what? Since you have nothing to do now but play house with Dinah Lance, let me help you with your troubles." He goes over to his desk, and writes him a cheque. Walking over to Oliver, he smacks the cheque against his chest as Oliver groans at the pain. Looking down at the cheque, Oliver smirks, shaking his head, "That's how much I think your sorry ass is worth. One dollar."
Walking back to his desk, Oliver calls out to him, "You really have no compassion for anyone do you? You just get what you want when you want because of your name and don't care about who gets hurt along the way. I guess that's the perks of being put on a pedestal by daddy when he was alive."
Clark looked up from his eyelashes with a menacing stare at Oliver, "And I guess your parents are rolling over in their graves knowing that their son failed to save the family business and it ended up in the hands of the son of the man who murdered them."
They stared each other down in silence for a good long moment before Oliver dropped the cheque on the floor and walked out of his office.
Leaning back on his chair, Clark sipped on his scotch in silence, celebrating his victory all to himself. That is until Tess Mercer walked in, holding up the Daily Planet newspaper "So you have become worthy of the front page once again. 'LuthorMedia buys out Queen Industries with the help of the former Mrs. Queen'." She smirked at the last part, "Lois Lane isn't as smart as she turns out to be if you were able to manipulate her into selling to her arch enemy."
"Lane knew what she was getting herself into when she made a deal with the devil. I gave her an ultimatum in which I would win either way and she realized she had no option. She's just as naive as the rest of them, you just need to find their weak points."
"And in this case her weak point was her oh so betrayal of a marriage." Tess mocked as she took a bottle of water from the bar. "So now that you took down Oliver Queen, what's next?" She said with a smile as she took a sip of her water.
Clark sighed, "Oliver may not have his company anymore, but he's still Green Arrow, and I know he has suspicions that I'm Ultraman. I've been monitoring his history with the company assets and he takes quite a number of trips to Gotham. I wonder..." His voice trailed off as his train of thoughts started to run.
Tess watched him and wrapped her hand around his arm, "Hey. Why don't we take a break from all of this and do some celebrating." She said in a soft, seductive tone as her hand started to head down to his belt buckle.
Clark rolled his eyes and abruptly stood up, "Not tonight Tess." He said as he set down his glass and straightened out his suit.
Tess sighed and walked behind him, "Come on Clark. You want it bad don't you?" She said as she kissed the back of his neck.
Once again, Clark walked away, "You know desperation is an unattractive trait on a woman Tess. You know the only reason you're still here is because I need you to cover for me while I'm Ultraman. But you can easily be replaced."
Tess laughed out loud, "Who can you possibly replace me with Clark? I'm pretty much the only one who is willing to give a crap about you. Other than me you have no one. You're a lonely pathetic billionaire who can't get anyone to love him."
Clark smirked, "Well you know what they say, it's lonely at the top. And if I'm the lonely pathetic billionaire who can't get anyone to love him then that just makes you the lonely pathetic bastard child who daddy couldn't love so she seeks out to find as much attention as she can get from anyone who has a pulse."
She walks over to him, grinning, "That's why we're perfect together." Tess leans in for a kiss and Clark let's her relish her moment before roughly grabbing her by the shoulders to which makes Tess wince.
"Go find another f*ck buddy Tess." He pushes her away as she stumbles backwards, Clark walks out of his office without another glance back at her. He knew Tess was in love with him, and so he'd taken advantage of that, knowing no matter how he treated her, she would always be coming back to him, he'd never be alone. Then why did it create an unsettling feeling in him after Tess told him he had no one in his life that cared for him. Shaking that feeling away, Clark drove off in his Ashton Martin into the city. He ended up at the Daily Planet. Knowing she would still be there, researching, and writing her stories. The Planet was dead, no one but the night janitor roaming around. Walking up to the 8th floor, Clark used his super hearing to hear the clicking of the keyboard coming from her office. He saw her boring her eyes into the screen, oblivious that he was leaning against her doorway, "Do you ever go home?" At the sound of his voice, Lois jumped up from her seat, letting out a scream. Clark found her outburst amusing as he tried to hide his laugh, "With the amount of hours you stay overtime, you could practically live here."
Lois narrowed her eyes at him, and went back to typing, "What do you want Mr. Luthor."
Clark smirked, "Touchy touchy. You shouldn't let your bitterness out on other people. I didn't cause your marriage to fumble."
Lois took a deep breath to compose herself, "Who said I'm bitter? It's late, I'm working and you're face is hardly something I want to look at right now."
Clark raised his brow at her feistiness, "Hardly huh? So you admit you find me partially attractive."
Lois stopped typing and looked back at him, "Is there something I can help you with? We did our business I don't think there's anything else to talk about."
"I was just wondering if you wanted to get a drink with me. You know, celebrate our victory of taking away the one thing that meant the world to Oliver Queen."
Lois' eyes fluttered, "I don't celebrate my ex-husband's misery. That's what you do best so go do that by yourself."
"Is someone feeling guilty all of a sudden? And you're blaming me for you choosing to sell his company? I hardly think that's fair Lane."
"I'm not blaming you for anything Luthor." She enunciated on his last name, "I'm just not that evil that I want to celebrate other people's misery." She went back to her typing, "I have work to do so if you can please leave I'd appreciate that, I'm working on a very important story-" She jumped when she saw he was standing right behind her, looking at her screen, with his brows furrowed.
"Ultraman? That's your new story?"
Lois quickly closed her screen, "You may own the Daily Planet, but that doesn't mean you get to snoop through my research."
"I told you before Lane that we're not writing anything on Ultraman. The Daily Planet doesn't do gossip."
"It's not gossip, its facts that there's a man out there killing people and marking his slogan all over the city." She stood up, crossing her arms at him, "And I have my suspicions on who that might be." Clark looked down at her as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Meaning?" He said in a low tone.
"Meaning I have been married to Oliver long enough to share his beliefs. We have been working on uncovering who it is and we have an idea as I'm sure you know..." Her voice trailed off as he looked like he wanted to shoot fire at her through his eyes, "I know you and Tess control everything that goes on the paper... but the Daily Planet isn't the only place I can exploit Ultraman. I'm sure the Inquisitor would love the publicity."
Clark bore his eyes at her, and then smirked, "Do what you want Lane. You're fired." Lois blinked, taken aback, "Pack up your things I want you gone by the end of the week. Take your story elsewhere but I'm warning you... if you do what I think you're going to do then just know that Ultraman doesn't just kill anyone that walks by him. He's more careful than that. Why don't you get your head out of your ass and look at the criminal records of the victims who Ultraman has killed. He doesn't just kill for pleasure. I'm sure it'll be an eye opener for someone as naive as you. It's no wonder it took you this long to realize your husband had been having an affair behind your back." With that, he left her former office and headed out, as Lois slowly sat back in her chair, overwhelmed by the fact that she just got fired.
Clark had found himself at the Ace of Clubs, sipping on another glass of scotch at the bar as he scanned the room for all the lonely hearted women in the room. A blonde woman, who was clearly drunk, stumbled towards the bar and ordered another shot, "Make that two." She turned to see the gorgeous dark haired man staring back at her with a smile. "What's your name?" He said out of formality... not that he cared to remember it.
The blonde girl giggled, and moved closer to him, "Yvonne, you?"
The bartender approached them with their drinks, Clark picked them up and handed one to Yvonne, "I'm just a guy in a bar."
After a few minutes of mingling, Yvonne found herself against the wall of the bathroom stall, moaning as Clark left trails of kisses down her neck, grabbing her wrists and pinning them above her head. She wrapped her leg around his thigh as he moved closer to her, grabbing her waist. They continued to make out until Clark had an unsettling feeling at the pit of his stomach, as if he was getting carsick. He ignored the feeling and continued kissing Yvonne. She slowly opened her eyes to see the man before her was suddenly emitting a white light from his body. "W-what's going on with you?"
Clark raised his head and pulled away, confused at what she was saying. She must be really drunk, he thought. Suddenly, he looked down at his hand and noticed it was glowing white. Looking down at his body, he noticed his entire body was glowing and the white light continued to grow, "What the hell?" He said under his breath. Suddenly, he pushed Yvonne out of the way who fell to the floor, wincing in pain, as she was blinded by the white light, when suddenly, as she looked up, the man who was standing before her disappeared in front of her eyes.
I'm sure you all know what's happening where Clark might be going and you might have questions about the function of the mirror box, and it'll be explained in the story I promise:) Next chapter is the reunion (For Lois at least;P)!
