I'm not sure if the beginning sentence is good but I hope you keep reading anyways. I hope to write another chapter afterwords but I want to get at some reviews first. Tell me what I need to improve. I let Transgenic-girl and halfbloodcountess look at my story but only one had time to respond back. I hope both liked it though. Alright, I have been reading a lot of Superman Returns fanfics so I wanted to add another one that isn't with SuperGirl (even though that was my best and still is). I also read other fanfiction and that's why I have other fanfics. The Smallville fanfic is my second best...Remember. Alright, now you can start looking at the story...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Daily Planet early in the morning has different reporters appearing. Ones that can't handle waking up, others ready for their lives to throw them another story. This isn't Lois Lane…
Anger filled Lois goes through the bullpen with Richard following behind.
"Lois!" Richard said.
"You…" Lois telling people in front of her… "Move!!"
"Lois, what's wrong?" Richard said.
"Just leave me alone, Richard! Hey, Clark…" Lois face changes from pissed off to a nice smile while she said that.
"Hi Lois…How you doing…" Clark said.
"I'm going to be fine, Clark. By the way, could I talk to you later," Lois said.
"Sure. When?" Clark said.
"When ever you can, Clark," Lois said.
"Alright, see you around…" Clark said while at the moment ends up tripping over a trash can.
Lois starts walking toward the chief's office and Richard tries to get more info from her but shrugs it off by opening the door.
Clark walks back to his desk and starts typing away on the computer when he hears Jimmy sneak up behind him.
"So do you know what's got Miss Lane in a bunch?" Jimmy said.
"I'm not sure, Jimmy," Clark said.
"Do you think it has anything to do with You-Know-Who," Jimmy said.
"Golly, I hope it's not Voldemort," Clark said.
"Hey, you're funny Mr. Kent. I didn't know you read Harry Potter," Jimmy said.
"Well, with traveling around the world for 5 years you got to have some reading material," Clark said.
"That's right, Mr. Kent. I just can't believe it over. I'm glad Superman is back though," Jimmy said.
"Why Jimmy? To help save people?" Clark said.
"To keep the hope of better things in the future and for those writers to keep writing fan fiction about him," Jimmy said.
"Fan fiction?" Clark said.
"You haven't heard of fan fiction? Don't worry, Clark. Some people here haven't either," Jimmy said.
"Well, I have been busy…" Clark said.
"It anyone that is fans of Superman that want to write stories about him. Most write about him having a secret identity…I wonder if he does," Jimmy said.
"Jimmy, you know this because…" Clark said.
"O, I look around at the fanfics when I can't take pictures or I'm bored…" Jimmy said.
"Perry, you asked for me?" Lois said entering the office.
"Yes…Did you find out how Superman was before he disappeared," Editor - in - Chief Perry said.
"This isn't about me writing another story about Superman, is it?" Lois said.
"Not really. Mostly I wanted to know so I know which issue to go with for the press," Perry said.
Lois glances over the two covers of the Daily Planet that Perry was showing her.
"I would go for the one on the right if I were you, Perry," Lois said.
"Are you sure?" Perry said.
"I'm sure, you can ask Jason when he comes in, if you don't believe me," Lois said.
"Why would Jason know?" Perry said.
"Doesn't matter, Perry. Do you need a new story or not?" Lois said.
"Do you have one for me?" Perry said.
"I will if you let me print it out," Lois said.
"Then go!! By the way, if you get a chance could you thank Superman for me," Perry said.
That's when she leaves the office to hear a song coming from somewhere in the building.
Looks around the bullpen and notices Clark singing quietly along to the song while still
typing at his computer… "The things we did, the things we said…Keep coming back to me
and make me smile again…You showed me how to face the truth…Everything that's good in
me I owe to you "
She thinks about the song and feels connected somehow to the lyrics. How Clark connected with
the song make Lois even more confused. She wonders if he left someone he loved somewhere that
he went to during those 5 years. Yet she couldn't think that Clark could fall for another girl that
wasn't her…"Never gone, never far…My heart is where you are..Always close…"
No. She shakes her head to prove that she couldn't feel that way. Especially that she's with Richard...and she doesn't
know what she has with Superman. Suddenly the song changed…
"Good…" Lois said to herself then she notices it changed to a song called 'Single'.
If she could only be that then her troubles would go away.
"Who's putting these songs anyway?" Lois said.
"Is there something wrong with the songs, Miss Lane," Jimmy said.
"Sure! This isn't a party, Jimmy. We need to be working not listening to…" Lois said.
The song ends and changes to another song which Lois notices… "Lookin' at me now you might not
know it but I've had my moments…"
"Miss Lane!" Jimmy said.
"Yes, what?" Lois said.
"Do you want me to turn off my radio?" Jimmy said.
Lois looks over at Clark again and he's singing another line of the song… "I stood there tryin' to
find my nerve…Wondering if a single soul on Earth…Would care at all…Miss me when I'm gone"
At that moment she wonders if she has ever seen Clark act like that…with so much care and passion…
"So, Miss Lane?" Jimmy said.
"It's fine, Jimmy. I just need to get to my desk…" Lois said.
"Are you sure about the radio?" Jimmy said.
"Sure, it might be a bit of a nice change…" Lois said then huming the last words of the song…
"...I was right there, wasn't scared a bit…And I helped to pull him through…Lookin' at me now
you might not know it…Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it…But I've had my moments…"

Thanks for reading and reviewing! I hope to keep writing this one like I did with SuperGirl, but remember I'll only do if I get those reviews (plus they might help me out on what to do next a bit since I have an idea what I'm going for in the plot). Plus I hope no one is mad about me mentioning Fanfics or Harry Potter in the fanfic. I think the songs are okay. Really look at the lyrics they really work with Clark and Lois. Thanks again!!
Much LOVE!
