Good morning, America. Our top story tonight. The city of Metropolis gone under? Metropolis, the once former "Jewel of the Desert" has been recently hit with an economic crisis that has pulled it into a downward spiral. Following a scandal by Mayor Patterson involving stealing money from the Metropolis Treasury for personal gain, Citizens have been outraged by the lack of control and security in the offices of Metropolis City Hall

"Man, Mayor Patterson stealing our hard earned money? What has this world come to?"

"I would not trust Mayor Patterson with my car keys, much less my money."

"Keep Mayor Patterson out of office! Metropolis would be better off without him,"

With election year coming up, Mayor Patterson's popularity has plummeted into an all time low. The future is unclear for him, But famous billionaire, Lex Luthor, owner of LexCorp, has been considering running for office.

"I might run for office. The only issue I have is that I have a company to run. Hopefully, the opportunity will rise up soon and I can get Metropolis out of this hole and restore it to its former glory,"

Strong words from Mr. Luthor. The future only knows if he might be the "Superman" that will save Metropolis from its falling grace. Time will only tell

Lois Lane leaned against the glass window on the train, half asleep. The rain slowly tapped on the window, making a consistent tapping noise. Lois was excited yet exhausted at the same time, Her paradoxical feelings made her somewhat on edge. She had never been far way from home before. But she knew the opportunity it would bring her. She finally would be able to make something of herself.

"I wonder how much a job in the journalism industry makes?" She thought.

She looked out the window and saw the skyline of Metropolis. Even with all the gray clouds, Metropolis shined brighter than any star in the sky would have. She stared in amazement at the magnificent urban paradise.

"How in the hell is this place "in the hole?" It's beautiful."

Her grogginess suddenly faded away as the train was nearing Metropolis Grand Station. She grabbed her luggage (which wasn't much) and stepped onto the platform. The station looked like it had gone through some rough times. The walls were a dull blue and the tile floors were not really sanitary. It was very gloomy, matching the weather. Lois knew why the news said that Metropolis was in an economic crisis. The place looked like it had not been cleaned in over a decade. Lois Lane passed through the station so that she can get a taxi. A shady looking guy with dirty looking clothing followed behind her. When Lois nearly got out of the station, she saw the dirty man.

"Yur purty," He creepily said

"Yeah, I don't need any approval from you, creep."

The man approached her with malicious intent. Lois kicked him right in the groin. He crumpled in pain and could not get.

"Man, this is how I start my life in Metropolis? Kicking a random hobo's ass? Great..."

Lois caught a taxi and headed for the Daily Planet. The opportunity she had been looking for. Her journalism interests date back to when she was a teen. Ironically, she hated journalism and thought it was for people who had nothing but sit around and gossip about people. She figured out it was not entirely true. She studied some old news stories from the 90's and one intrigued her the most. One about a spaceship falling in Kansas. Granted, it was on the National Enquirer but it still was an interesting story. After reading it, she got riled up for actually for an actual career in journalism. Her father, who was the famous general Sam Lane, didn't really agree with it. He thought journalists were scumbags who were only interested in ruining your career and your reputation. Ella Lane, her mother, was more for it in the matter. She wanted Lois to pursue her dreams and accomplish them if she can. The argument between her mother and father lasted for at least a month. Finally, Sam caved in and decided that she can get a job in journalism. After a year of job searching, Lois found a place which had openings. Metropolis. She made sure there was an opening and hooped on the next train there.

Lois opened the taxi door and saw the enormous building in all its glory. The building had at least 80 floors and on top of the building, there was a glistening globe that rotated clockwise to show the Daily Planet logo. Lois was jubilant about how close she was about this opportunity. She definitely needed it. She went inside and saw that it looked like an office. There were many people with computers, phones, and other devices. There were loud sounds of fan blades spinning on the roof. The place was busy and bustling with people giving each other papers. Typing at a light speed pace, and tons of yelling across the room. Lois saw the place she had to go to, Perry White's office. She walked towards it, passing by a couple of journalists. One was tall and a little older and the other one was shorter and younger.

"Damn! Who is the new blood?" The older one exclaimed

" I don't know, but I'm glad she's applying," The younger one said

Lois entered Perry's office and saw that he was editing something on his computer. Perry White was definitely in his mid 50's because of his nearly snow white hair. He had a huskier build than most and his face had some wrinkles.

"Great Caesar's Ghost! You scared me," Perry yelled

"Sorry, Mr. White. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Lois Lane. We talked on the phone," Lois apologetically said

"Oh yes, take a seat, Miss Lane," Perry insisted.

Lois sat down nervously but tried not to show it.

"Now, Miss Lane. Why should I give you a job here at the Daily Planet?"

"Well, I have an passion for journalism, I can get you a juicy story before your first cup of coffee, and I can kick people's ass if they don't do what they are supposed to do,"

Perry laughed. Lois had an awkward giggle and smile.

"I like your spunk, kid. That's what I need around here," Perry said

"You see, we don't get that many people with spunk or even any experience at all. I'm surprised I keep these morons on here. But you? I can tell you have what I need here, energy and persistence," Perry stated.

"Well, I'll be happy to provide that, sir,"

"Good. So I'll trust you'll be here on time? You won't give me Enquirer crap? And you will kick some ass in the offices?"

Lois nodded in approval

"Well, I guess you got a job then," Perry said.

Lois squealed in delight. She was so happy that she got the job.

"I won't let you down, sir. You will not regret this, I promise you,"

"I hope I won't, or else I have to fire you," Perry said. "Jimmy will lead you to your new desk,

Lois left the office and went to the younger guy.

"Are you Jimmy?" She asked

The younger guy nodded and had a huge grin. He had reddish hair and a youthful face. He looked more like a bike messenger, but he seemed eager.

"Yes! Jimmy Olsen, Photography," Jimmy said. He shook Lois's hand speedily, like he was on some happy drug.

"So you lead me to my desk?," Lois asked,

"Yup, just for today. Hopefully we'll be partners," Jimmy said

"Yeah, hopefully," Lois sarcastically remarked.

Jimmy led her to the desk. Lois was somewhat disappointed considering the desk looked really cramped to sit in. But nonetheless, she was glad that she had a job.

"Now this is a welcoming I was hoping to get,"

Lois sat down and began her legacy.
