Audio Log: Doctor Gabriel Stefano, T&D; 3-1[DATA CORRUPTED]
Experiment 31600, aka, Katie. Made from the DNA of Kal-el, backup for Superboy. Powers are the same as previous version and DNA template, however unlike superboy, she is susceptible to kryptonite. We spliced her DNA with Lois Lane's, just because we didn't have enough of Kal-el's left over, which likely explains the kryptonite failure. Overall, experiment success.
Val's OOC: hello! this is @val-isla-nightshade 's moddie! I finally decided to do the "Lois Lane clone" idea, but I gave Katie's mod permission to use my idea because she DM'ed me and asked if she could run the blog instead bc she thought it was a cool idea. so, even tho it is MY idea, Katie's mod has full permission to altar the lore from the base concept. hope you enjoy!
OOC: Hi!!! okay so huge thanks to Val's mod for letting me use Dr Stefano and Katie for this blog because OMG I LOVE THIS IDEA SO SO MUCH 🥹
ANYWAYS have a Katie mood board and have fun!!
(also Katie will have glitchy text for a while but if needed I will put what she said in () at the bottom)
*it was "take your kid to work" day at the Daily Planet. Some people brought pets, some infants, and a few disgruntled teenagers. Katie, however, was facinated. Clark had brought her, since clones might as well count as kids. He sat her at his desk so he could go copy some things, and she just sat there. Watching the lady across from her who looked so much like herself.*

Lois has learned to catalogue strange things quickly. Today, the…..strange thing is sitting at Clark’s desk with her face.
Not identical. Not quite. But close enough that something in her chest tightens before she can stop it.
There’s a particular kind of stillness Lois recognises— the kind that comes from being told, repeatedly, to behave correctly or disappear.
She remembers being young and underestimated. It’s unsettling, seeing herself without the armour. Without the sharp edges earned over years of pressure and survival.
“Hi! I’m guessing you’re not here to steal my job. If you are, fair warning—I don’t share coffee mugs.”
“…I’m Lois. You already know that part, don’t you?”
“Katie, huh?” A smile curves, careful, but warm. “That’s a beautiful name.”
Lois tilts her head.
“It’s great to see you. How are you holding up? Did Clark explain what today usually looks like? Because this”— she glances around the bullpen —“….is the calm version.”
“Let me guess: he said something like ‘just sit tight, I’ll be right back’ and then vanished into another dimension of responsibility, right?”
That sentence lands heavier than it should, settling somewhere between ribs and memory. He’s told me a lot about you. Lois has heard that before—from interns, from sources, from people who thought they knew her through headlines. Never like this.
“I’m guessing he told you the good stuff. He probably skipped the parts where I’m stubborn, loud, and impossible to argue with.”
“….actually, important follow-up: did he tell you I make really good pancakes, or did he forget that part again?”
He told me that my hair is like yours. That sometimes you two argue but you almost always make up. And hes tried making me pancakes like you make them, but in the end they always get burnt and Ma has to help him.
*Katie laughs at the end.*
My older brother, Konner.. hes been reading me the stuff you write. I like it.
“I think my hair is iconic, so you’re starting from a position of strength. Does it get everywhere?Refuses to behave when you need it to?”
“Clark and I argue. A lot. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or hasn’t met us. But… making up matters. Anyone can fight—staying is the hard skill. It means that you cared enough to come back.”
Lois snorts at the mention of Clark’s attempt at pancakes.
“He burns them because he flips too early, or too late,” she says, immediately. “Tell him that. Ma Kent’s doing the right thing stepping in before the smoke alarm does.”
“Konner reads my work to you? That’s… really nice! I’m glad you like the work. Writing’s just… paying attention. Telling the truth clearly. If it helps you understand the world a little better, then I’m doing my job.”
“…You know—you don’t have to be just like me. Or him. Or anyone. But if you ever want to ask questions, or disagree with something I wrote, or tell me I got it wrong? You go right ahead. That’s how it’s supposed to work. You get to be you.”
Konner’s right—you’re absolutely the responsible one in that equation. ‘Very good cuddler’ is how it starts. Next thing you know, he’s chasing helicopters.
Tell him I said he’s a good boy! Do you take him on walks, too?

(omg wait send me the @ for her! The only real interaction Katie has had with Lois is reading(?) the newspaper and stories the Kent parents have told her!)
I'm guessing Clark is still flabbergasted that Katie is also Lois' clone so..
( @super-man-of-steel :3)
*Its night time. Katie is watching the sun go down outside, Krypto's head in her lap. Konner had braided her hair that morning, and shes trying (and failing) to undo it herself. She sighs, throwing the braid back over her shoulder.*
Clark knocked on the doorframe, alerting her to his presence. He carried a basket of laundry inder one arm. He smiled sheepishly, “Hope I’m not bothering you, Ma just asked me to take some laundry up to you.”
Clark sits on the side of the bed, the mattress dipping. He examines the hair tie and carefully shimmies it off. He’s done this for Lois a few times, when she falls asleep at her desk with her hair still done up. He briefly wonders if Jon will ever grow his hair out like this. Katie’s hair is thick and straight, just like Lois’s. Clark’s hands delicately brush through the unraveling braid. Lois. He’d told her about Katie the moment he found out about the girl. They were still figuring out when to introduce the two. Lois had practically worn down her office rug with her pacing every time Katie was mentioned. It felt like every night Clark would awake to her soft footsteps, amplified tenfold by his hearing. They’d argued about the situation a few times, tensions boiling over from both’s discomfort at the whole thing, but it wasn’t anything they couldn’t sort out together.
“Your hair is just like Lois’s,” He decides to break the momentary silence.
Clark faltered. Katie couldn’t read? He never thought too hard about how the kids made in Cadmus were taught. Clark was abruptly aware of how his ribs seemed to tighten with each breath, the sinking feeling in his gut slipping from his diaphragm to his stomach like a heavy stone in a serene pool. He never thought. Never. Not with Konner, and not with Katie. Did Konner have to teach himself to read? Did someone else step up because Clark wasn’t there to help? He— Clark took a deep breath. Katie had been through enough, the kid didn’t need to deal with Clark’s guilt-stricken breakdown. He could deal with that crisis later.
Instead of dwelling on the fact that Katie was learning to read, Clark resumed braiding and asked, “Yeah? What do you think of it?”
*Katie wandered around the christmas shop with [your character's name :3], eyes dazzling with the numerous number of lights. It was her first December outside the lab, temperatures dropping and the Holiday season rolling around. The duo had a single goal: find a "Baby's first Christmas" ornament to put on the tree in the Kent farmhouse for Katie.*

Would it be funny for Katie to get one of those "baby's first christmas" ornaments and when the cashier asks who its for Konner/Clark/Tim gestures to Katie?
