Good evening, everyone, so for some reason I've been having ideas for a superman fanfic, which is truly strange for me, however I decided to put it to life. Here, this prologue is really just the beginning to a great story and concept. Understand that this story does not contain a relationship between Lois and Clark/Superman, they have never and will never be together in this story. The two are merely coworkers. Also, for the appearance of Clark, imagine Henry Cavill, the actor who portrayed Superman in Man of Steel. I think that Henry Cavill is just the perfect stereotype of Superman.

Now, Lois hadn't had the best luck with friends. Of course she had those few and regarding their relationship, the eventually died off. Although, Lois had that one friend who was more of a sister, Marianna Williams.
Lois had met Marianna when they were roommates since freshman year at the prestigious University of Metropolis.
Like Lois, Marianna was a strong headed young woman, apart from their appearances, they were practically identical.
Marianna was dark in complexion, a sun kissed color and held bright luminescent green eyes. Her hair was long and silky and straight. Taller than Lois, they both however share practically the same physique, although Lois being more taller and athletic built.
That characteristic is what set them apart. Marianna had attended UM not so much for their outstanding journalism program, but for their athletics.
She was given a full scholarship for track and field and it showed. Those four years at UM she was known nationally as the #1 sprinter and the fastest woman under the age of 25. She's set college records in addition to global ones, too.
Marianna was destined for the Olympics except she had disappeared.
After she graduated, she returned to her hometown of Gotham while Lois continued on at the Daily Planet. For just less than a year, Marianna was boasting headlines and creating a name for herself again although as an outstanding reporter. In this time she was also training for the Olympics.
While in Gotham, Lois and Marianna often saw each other, whether it be conferences, seeing each other at newsworthy events, or just visiting each other they were always connected. Then, Marianna was gone.
December 12, 2008 was the last time anyone had seen Marianna, it was the last time Lois had spoken to her. She had virtually vanished into nothing but air. Not a single call, note, or message was left be her. Her trainer had no idea where she could have been and not even the power Lois possessed as a well known reporter aided trying to decipher where Marianna had gone. Marianna didn't want to be found.
That was 5 years ago. Today, December 12th, 2013, at precisely 12:34 pm would inevitably change history.
