Prologue

For Lois Lane, loneliness was a way of life. Being an up and coming journalist for one of the grandest newspapers in the country didn't allow too much of a love life. She had no family, since her mom died when she was a child and her father passed away a year before. No brothers and no sisters to share any more memories with either. Lois worked every holiday and would come home to a cat. Even though she was allergic, she liked the company.

So when Lois Lane met Oliver Kent, it only made sense, that her life was turned upside down. Except, she didn't actually meet him… she only saved him…

Lois Lane stood on the tarmac waiting for the train to come by. She'd been late leaving the paper, and missed her usual ride. It was now getting dark and she was waiting on the last train that would come through the train station. She sighed looking at her watch. The train was ten minutes late.

"Merry Christmas."

And that's when it happened. She looked up. It had been love at first sight, from the first moment she'd seen him three months ago. She'd seen him taking the train every day, but he'd never once so much as muttered a hello in her direction. Now he was there, sitting next to her. She lowered her gaze to the ground blushing.

Lois opened her mouth to speak.

"Give me everything you got."

She looked up and saw a gun in her face. She put up her hands in shock. Two muggers stood in front of her and this beautiful stranger pointing guns in their faces, demanding all their belongings.

"Alright", he was trying to calm them down, "Alright… take my wallet… that's all I have… just go."

"Yeah right pretty boy", one of the muggers was saying, "Your watch… hand it over…"

Lois saw him pretend to take off the watch; he looked over at her and winked, before pushing the gun out of the mugger's hands. He punched one of them hard enough to make him stumble back. Lois sat back and watched in shock as the other mugger pushed him on the train tracks. That's when she reacted and she grabbed her purse and hit the mugger hard enough to make him fall forward. She turned her attention back to the train tracks, where the unconscious stranger laid.

"Come on let's go", she could hear the muggers get up and run away from her on the tarmac.

"Sir", she called out to the unconscious man, "Oh man…."

She looked around and realized she was the only one on the tarmac. Even the person who was taking tokens had left. There weren't any security guards in sight either.

"This is bad", she mumbled climbing down on the tarmac and walking up to the man who was now lying there unconscious, "Mr. whatever… you need to wake up…"

Lois looked up and saw there was a train coming toward them.

"Oh my God", she was saying repeatedly, "wake up… please…. Wake up…"

He wasn't answering.

"Sir", she said pointing at the train, "There's a train coming… and its coming fast… I need you to wake up… now…"

He didn't move.

"Oh my God", she said grabbing his coat and rolled them over quickly onto the other tracks. She watched the train pass them by, missing them completely, and come to a stop.

Lois sighed deeply, relieved, and let her head fall on the man's chest. She lifted her head and looked at his face, as he opened his eyes.

"Hi", she whispered softly and watched him attempt a smile, before closing his eyes again.

And that was the day; Lois Lane met Oliver Kent….

Well, sort of…
