How did it come to this? I've lost the love of my life, Lois Lane. I remember it like it was yesterday, Lois died because of Oliver's self-pity. The last time I have talked to Oliver was after I realized my abilities to their full potential. He deceived me, he betrayed me. He is in the past now, but it still hurts in the present. The faint outline of my face reflects off the cold of the window. For a moment I forgot Lois died because of my secret, my actions caused her death. Than it all hits me at once, and now I find myself in my office tearing up. I need to move on from this. But how can I?
In the mornings, I take strolls through the park Lois and I talked in. Somehow I stop. Now the memories of Lana come back to me. Now that I have thought of her, I had to see her. It's hard to decipher my thoughts anymore, I end up absent-minded.
As I hover over Lana's new house, I realized, this world needs my help. There is no reason to stumble over my emotions. My dad sent to me to this world for a reason, to be its savior. I put my emotions behind me, and I launch myself into the galaxy. I see my home planet, Krypton. I remember I need to use my abilities for good.
The next morning I wake up, and I head to The Daily Press. Just looking at Lois's old desk I feel a familiar set of emotions, but I have to try to move on. Then I jump to the sound of a new voice.
"What's the matter Kent?" says Alex.
Alex is the new guy at The Daily Press, he just so happens to be sitting at Lois's desk.
"Nothing." Clark replies.
"Clark." Alex says with a wondering gaze.
"Really Alex, it's nothing."
I lied. There is something wrong. The love of my life is gone. The guilt hits me, I have to get out of here. Just as I enter my old farm house, I get a phone call. I answer it. The person on the phone claims to be Head of an alliance.
"Hello?" Clark answers the phone.
"Hello, I am wishing to speak to Clark Kent." Replies the man.
"Speaking."
"Ah. Mr. Kent, I have been meaning to speak to you. But it has to be in person. Meet me at the alley behind the dumpsters at Moe's. 7 o'clock sharp!"
"But…" Clark doesn't get a chance to finish what he was saying. But now he has to meet some strange man.
Who is this man? Why does he want to meet me? What does he want from me? These questions are rolling around in my head, but I have to put this aside for now. I'll find out who is soon enough, and when I do, I will get behind this mystery.
