Review Comments:

A,sky - Haha, I'm glad you liked it!

h-g-j-l-e-r-k - That's the plan, haha.

LoisNClark4Ever - Haha, I thought you might like that!

What was the line in the very first chapter? "She was going to kill him. Very, very slowly over the rest of their lives, and he was going to love every minute of it." Haha. I think that Clark doesn't mind at all. Lois just loves giving Clark a hard time, and she loves even more that he doesn't fold under it, haha.

Haha, I'll make sure to throw some goodies in for you then! haha.

Meg - Thanks!

katlynne - Yeah, I'm disappointed in him too. Between Smallville and Blue Mountain State, he should have had himself a nice career but he went and screwed it up with this drug problem. It's a shame. I'm glad that you liked Lois' behavior, it was the hardest part to write, haha.

jade2nightwing - Haha, it's hard for me to feel sorry for a guy pinned under Lois Lane.

alexindigo - Haha, the imagination is a beautiful thing, isn't it?

sunset - It is nice to have just Lois and Clark sometimes, isn't it? haha. It seems funny to say it, but they really know how to make a scene seem like it's a much bigger party, haha. I'm glad that I can keep making the title sneak-in's fun for you! haha.

I think that's my favorite line too.

NonOmnisMoriar - I can't say enough about you taking the time to comment on every chapter like this, haha, you're fantastic!

I'm glad you liked her reaction to being pregnant, I thought she might do something like that, haha. They are both a couple of idiots, haha, but they're a couple of idiots in love whether they like to admit it or not. With their rivalries over Jo'an and her affections, it seemed like a natural idea for them to try and be the Santa Claus for her, haha. Cat Grant seems like a natural foil for Lois, but not as a serious competitor for Clark's affection, just annoyance, haha.

Clark and "Gulp" go hand in hand when he's around the Lanes, haha. And yes, Jimmy has a bit of a death wish.

Author's Note: This one is pretty angsty and pretty dark. Hope you guys still like it though, enjoy! Sorry it's late!


"Wayne Enterprises CEO Bruce Wayne was murdered last night at age twenty-four. His body was found at the Luthor Mansion in Smallville, Kansas. Early reports indicate that Wayne attempted to save Luthorcorp CEO Lionel Luthor when an attack was made on his life earlier that evening."

The press hadn't slowed down at all. Clark Luthor stood in front of the TV, tying his black tie. His father paced behind him. He was furious with Clark for the night before's events. Lionel had paid off several reporters, several of the forensic team members, and of course spun his best tale.

"You have put this entire family at risk! Lex would never have been so careless! So thoughtless!" screamed Lionel.

Clark didn't care. He had cleaned up enough of his father's messes that it only seemed fair that Lionel would clean up one of his. After all, it was Lionel who had taught him to fight for what he wanted. It was Lionel who beat into his brain that he could have the world. But he only wanted one thing.

Lois Lane.

The beautiful reporter from Luthorcorp Media. She wasn't afraid of Clark. No matter how many threats and how impressive his glare was, she was always ready to challenge him. He had fallen quick. She was everything he wanted. She never backed down, and she wasn't afraid to fight for what she wanted. The only problem was that she didn't want him, she wanted that fool from Gotham: Bruce Wayne.

"Clark, I want you to meet my friend, Bruce Wayne."

Bruce turned to see Clark. "Ah, well, how are you doing, old friend?"

Clark's eyes flashed with anger, but a smile forced it's way onto his face. Lois glanced between the two of them. "You know each other?"

"Clarkie and I used to go to school together. And Oliver of course."

Lois seemed surprised, but it shouldn't have been a surprise that the head of Wayne Enterprises, partner of Queen Industries, knew the son of the Luthorcorp Empire. "Oh, well, then I guess we're having a bit of a reunion then."

"It's nice to see you, Wayne," he forced for Lois' benefit. She scolded him though, "Clark."

Letting out a breath, "Bruce."

Bruce on the other hand seemed amused. "There ya go, buddy. That wasn't too hard, was it?"

"Bruce is in town working on a deal with Oliver Queen."

Clark nodded, "Yes, I heard about that. Working on a contract with the Earth Station."

"You stay well informed."

"I am the editor for the Daily Planet, Wayne. It's my job to stay well informed."

Lois noted the tension, but choose not to think about it too much. "Well, me and Bruce were just on our way to dinner. I wanted to stop by."

She gave Clark a quick kiss on the cheek. Bruce noticed Clark's expression and smirked. 'Looks like Luthor wants more than just friendship.'

At the funeral, he stood by her. She was devastated. He admired Lois for her big heart in many other situations, but he couldn't help but feel disappointed that she had left it so unguarded from Wayne. She had known him for a few weeks, how could she have let herself be hurt this badly? He didn't know what to do when people began to leave. She seemed to want to stay longer, so he pulled her close and stayed with her.

"How could someone do something like this?" she cried.

"I didn't mean to..." he whispered into her hair, but she pulled back and look at him. He didn't mean to do that. He tried to look away.

"You weren't...you weren't...you weren't home that night. Were you?"

Clark just stood there.

"Clark."

She thought for a moment that the drop sliding down his cheek was a tear, but it was too hard to tell as his face was pelted with rain drops.

"Please, Clark."

"Lois?"

Bruce entered the study. He had gotten a message from one of his assistants that Lois wanted to meet here. Personally, he despised the Luthors. But Lois liked Clark, so he was going to suffer through it. A part of him knew that when it was time to go back to Gotham, Lois wouldn't be coming with him. He had decided that he would enjoy the time that they had together, even if that meant socializing with a Luthor.

"Lois? Are you in here? I got your message."

"She won't be coming."

Bruce looked up to see Clark Luthor standing in the library upstairs. "Luthor. She left me a message-"

"My assistant left a message."

He looked annoyed at Clark's game. "What do you want?"

Clark walked down the stairs and made his way to the desk, "I want you to leave Metropolis."

"I'll be gone soon enough, Luthor. Don't you worry about it."

"Believe me, I'm counting down the days. But I want you to leave now. Your goons can take it from here, can't they?"

Bruce frowned, "What's this about?"

"Lois is falling for you, Wayne. I don't want to see her get hurt when you take off. That's what you and Queen do, isn't it? You leave girls behind, broken and alone. All because you have mommy and daddy issues? Orphan issues that have you scared of commitment? Lois deserves better than that."

"Better, huh? So what, you'd have me leave her for you? If she deserves better than me, she damn sure deserves better than you."

Clark's eyes flashed with anger. "Watch it, Wayne."

"What? You think I didn't know about your little crush? Figures really. Man like you, you want what you can't have. Lois isn't the kind of girl who swoons over bank accounts and corporate titles. Must drive you crazy that all your prestige and money, and she still prefers Orphan Bruce."

In a flash, Clark had lifted him against the wall by his neck. Bruce struggled against the wall, but Clark's grip was like a vice.

"What are you going to do, Luthor? Kill me like you killed Lex?"

Clark began to shake with rage and gripped tighter, "Shut up."

"She doesn't want you."

He threw Bruce across the room, "You think...do you...do you think I care what you think!"

Bruce was slow to rise, rubbing his neck. "You're still that arrogant, power hungry monster I knew at Excelsior."

"You stay away from her, Wayne."

He let out a cold chuckle, "Or what? You're going to use your freak powers? You think you scare me? You're just a freak, Clark! You always were!"

Clark saw red that night and those were the last words that Bruce Wayne ever spoke.

"Please, Clark. I'm begging you, say something," Lois plead.

"I'm sorry, Lois. I'm so sorry."

She stepped back. The look on her face, it broke what was left of his heart into a million pieces. She sputtered, "You didn't..."

Clark closed his eyes. Once again, she couldn't tell if they were tears or rain drops. "I'm sorry."

Lois' lip began to quiver. She shook her head, she didn't want to believe it, but his face told the whole story. His face told her that he killed Bruce Wayne in cold blood. The face was not entirely familiar anymore. There was a trace of something that she had never seen there before.

He had finally become the man his father wanted him to be.

Clark reached out for her arm, but she jerked it away. "Don't touch me."

It seemed like an eternity as he watched her walk away. He didn't know what to do, so he just stood there. The rain beat down on his shoulders, and he looked at Bruce's tombstone. If Clark had been able to control himself, Lois would still be here. She wouldn't hate him for what he had done. All this time, he would have given anything just to kiss her, now, she looked like she wanted to kill him. Then again, it's not like she knew that Bruce was far from his first.

Clark felt his arm where he felt his constant reminded of his last moments with Lex. This day was a long time coming.

In the distance, he could see her standing in the rain. Her face was covered in wetness, but it wasn't from the rain. Her boyfriend was dead. And as far as she was concerned, so was her friend. Clark thought about going to her, but as Oliver Queen wrapped an arm around her, she was gone.

Lois Lane was the last remanent of humanity left in his life. As she walked away, so did all traces of Clark. All the was left, was Luthor.


Author's Note: Well, that was angsty, haha. I hope that you guys liked it though.

My thought is that this takes place a while before 'Luthor', and that this is the reason that Lois hates Clark so much. It lets everyone have their 'they found each other in every universe' slice, but lets us have the cake as well that is the reality of 'Luthor'. We leave it with Oliver and Lois potentially getting together and all of this ought to lead to the world we see in 'Luthor'. I know that in my 'Earth-2 Lois' chapter, there isn't much implication that Lois was ever friends with Clark, but you can probably say that there isn't much to say that they weren't. Just that he was a monster now.

Anyways, I don't know. I wanted to have Clark Luthor be a bad guy, and with the request to see Lois with Bruce to provoke jealously in Clark, this is what I came up with. Obviously, killing a guy is pretty much as bad as it gets jealousy wise, haha.

Next Up: J'onn J'onzz or Wonder Woman, haven't decided yet.
