Superman: New Adventures of Lois and Clark

Disclaimer: I do not own the series it belongs to the Warners Bros.

Notes: There's a new girl in the city and she's working as a cleaner for the Daily Planet. This is set during the first season of Lois and Clark.

Chapter 1

"Angela come on you've got work." My mother called to me to come down. "Get up lazybones you have a job to do." She threw one of her pillows at me this time hitting me squarely in the face.

I rubbed the sleep from my face and looked around the room I occupied. It was a small room which housed my bed, a television and a wardrobe. I got up and left my room and made my way to the bathroom.

I turned on the light and looked in the mirror. My brown long hair fell back behind my shoulders. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes they were a dark blue. My face was plain and normal. I had been born in Smallville a few years ago but we never stayed there for very long.

We moved around a lot because my father's work made up sticks and move around a lot but a few months ago he had been killed in a hit and run. They caught his killer and he was sentenced to life in jail which was least the man deserved. It was justice but still an empty victory as I lost my father because of this man.

I got undressed and then got under the shower and let the hot spray wash over me. This was a good way to start the day a nice hot shower would wash away the stress of the previous day even though I had slept since then.

I got out a few minutes later and then got dressed into my work clothes. The work outfit consisted of jeans, a shirt and an apron. I had some pins with me to secure my hair so that it wouldn't fall out of its braid later on when I was cleaning.

When I was ready I left my room I walked through into the kitchen to see my mother making breakfast. "Come on have some breakfast." She said to me and I sat down.

"So what are you doing today?" I asked my mother as she sat down herself drinking her coffee. I took a mouthful of toast as I was waiting for her to answer.

"Going to work and then going out on town with some friends later on." My mother said to me.

When I had finished my breakfast I grabbed my bag and said goodbye to my mum. "See you later on. Have a nice day." I said to her.

"You too sweetheart see you later." She said back to me and I hugged her and then left for work in the big city.

I took a bus from where I lived to a couple of blocks away from the Daily Planet. It was still quite early and it was a good time to start if barely anyone was in. I entered the building and went to the closet where the cleaning supplies were kept.

"Hey Angela you're in early today." Rosa said as she walked in a few minutes later. Rosa was an older woman who was Spanish. She had greying red hair and wore glasses which occasionally fell to the end of her nose.

"Yeah my mother woke me up too early today and if I get the work done then I can leave sooner." I said to her. I got out the mop and the put some of the cleaning fluid into the bucket and started to clean the floor. "I'll get the floor you start dusting yeah?"

"Ok I don't think I can take the floor with my back starting to play up like it always does." Rosa said to me. She grabbed a feather duster and started going around the individual work stations.

When we had finished cleaning over 3 hours later the place was shining. Everyone had just begun to come in when we were putting the mop, broom, vacuum and the rest of the cleaning equipment away.

The floor was dry by now. Rosa, I and a few of the other cleaners decided now would be a good time to leave.

Soon Clark Kent had come in. He had only been here a few weeks but he was smart and quite handsome. But it was clear that he liked Lois. It was clear to those around him but Lois didn't seem to notice.

I smiled to myself 'She may be a reporter but sometimes reporters don't spot things beyond the end of their noses.'

I left the building with Rosa and we talked all the way to a local café about Superman and the fact that he kept appearing around the daily planet. We had heard he was not of this world but to most that didn't make a difference.
