I thought I'd write a Superman story because guess what, I like Superman. So basically this is going along the lines of Superman Returns with my OC thrown in. This is a Lois/Clark and OC/Richard fic so there is some variation from the original, Reading the summary may also help! This is just a short chapter to ease you (and myself) into the story so future chapters will be longer. But most of all enjoy!


Okay so here's a bit of background information about me. My name is Darcy Bennet and yes before you ask my mother is an avid fan of Pride and Prejudice hence the rather let's say embarrassingly abnormal name which certainly up this point hasn't fit in with my unbelievably normal life.

Until now I have spent my whole 24 years of life living in England working as a waitress at a quaint little cafe on the corner of my street. Or what was my street until I got that call last week, so now as I gaze out of the window of the plane I feel slightly apprehensive about where my life will take me once I step off the dreaded thing into the big, very very big city of Metropolis.

Apparently I have 10 minutes before the plane descends, yippee... Did I mention that I hate flying? Well I do, as well as big places filled with lots of strange people. You know this whole "your life is changing for the better" speech that mother dearest gave me as she waved me off isn't really giving me much hope at the moment. However I do cling on to a small shred of hope, I get to fulfil my lifelong ambition of becoming a reporter. Oh yes from now on I will be known as Miss Bennet, reporter for the most coveted news paper The Daily Planet.

I have dreamed of this moment for years and sure Mr White the editor-in-chief doesn't sound like a bundle of laughs but this is it I finally get to work for a broadsheet newspaper rather than writing the monthly articles for the cafe newsletter which, although writing is my lifelong ambition, it did nothing to quench the burning desire to actually be a reporter for a well respected newspaper.

Passengers, you have reached your destination: Metropolis. Please prepare to disembark

Deep breaths Darcy. Once I get to my apartment, god knows how, I can spend the next 48 hours sleeping off the jetlag which I will most definitely start to feel soon. "Hey Miss are you getting off" wait is someone talking to me... I should really stop talking to myself.

"Oh yes of course, sorry about that" I mumbled while laughing nervously.

The first thing I noticed as I lugged my many suitcases behind me was the sheer size of the city I had arrived in "Bugger", how do you hail a taxi, or should I say cab? I guess I'm going to have to learn the lingo as well as trying not to get lost or mugged or freaked out by the whole alien experience of living in freaking America for goodness sake. Oh great now I'm rambling.

"Taxi, hello taxi! Anyone can I get a taxi over here?" I yell as I wave my arms frantically while trying to protect my belongings. This is going to be one heck of a day and it's only just started.


So my OC's name is obviously inspired by Pride and Prejudice. So this is a bit of a dedication to my former English teacher who is incredibly brilliant and also has a daughter called Darc(e)y as she is a P&P fanatic herself. I enjoy reading the book but I can't say the same for the exam haha. Until next time :D
