Lois realizes that she doesn't have to rely on Superman to come to her rescue all the time
Chapter 1
Daily Planet Reporter Lois Lane is once again caught up in the midst of a heated battle between Superman and Lex Luthor, who are trading blows in a construction site on the outskirts of Metropolis, Lois took picture after picture of the intense bout, not noticing the drying cement pool that she was coming closer to every minute.
Luthor however, did notice. The madman targets Lois and fires a rocket at her,
"Lois!" Superman yelled as he moved to rush to the brunette's aid, only to be shot in the back by a kryptonite laser beam, the Man Of Steel sank to his knees as the kryptonite sapped him of his power, the next thing that Superman heard was Lois' screams of terror as she fell off the platform that was six stories up.
Lois closed her eyes and prepared herself for what would undoubtedly be her death, but then suddenly the brunette realized that she has stopped falling.
"Miss Lane, I have you, you're safe." a woman's voice said, Lois opens her eyes and looked up into the beautiful green eyes of Shayera Hol, aka Hawkgirl, who is gently cradling the reporter in her arms.
Lois was stunned into silence as Shayera slow descended towards the ground, Lois was happy to back on the ground again,
Lois gave her winged rescuer a smile, as she was still not able to speak,
Later...
The Justice League was able to bring Lex Luthor down and arrest him, Superman went looking for Lois, he found her being looked at by a Paramedic in the back of an ambulance,
"Aside from the shock that you suffered and twisted ankle, you should be just fine in a week or so," the Paramedic explains.
"Thank you," replied Lois.
"Lois, we need to talk," Superman said with a decided edge to his voice.
"About what?" Lois spat back at the Man Of Steel.
"You're always so reckless with your life, Lois!"
The rage that had been building inside the reporter from nearly dying had been solely focused on Luthor, but now it shifted instantly to the Kryptonian.
"Now wait one minute, buddy. No one and I mean no one tells me how to live my life!" Lois shouts,
Shayera, Vixen, Diana, and John all heard the argument and rush to see what's happening.
"I never thought you were like that, Superman," Lois said, dropping her gaze.
"Lois, I..."
Lois looked up at Superman with tears rolling down her face.
"Whenever a man risks his life people say he's brave or fearless, but let a woman do the exact same thing, they're reckless or stupid." Lois said before she started sobbing.
