Hi guys! After a long absence I am finally back with a new story. This one might be a bit confusing but that's because it's loosely based on a dream I had and deciding to stay true to dreams there is no beginning and no end. Everything that's not answered can be left to your own interpretation.
Also, to any readers who are also reading my previous fanfic When The World Came Crashing Down I just want to let you know that I haven't forgotten about it, I'm just going through extreme writers block. When I finally do post the next chapter you'll understand why. In the meantime though I would like to give you my sincere apologies for taking so long.

Prologue
"Hal, this is serious. How did this happen?" Lois was standing at the kitchen sink looking at the night sky through the window.
"I don't know, honey." Hal sat motionless at the table looking down at his hands. He knew his wife would be asking a lot of questions but right now he had no idea what the answers were. Frankly, it was taking everything he had to keep himself calm and not panic, something his wife was already doing.
"This is the worst situation we've ever gotten ourselves into!" Lois cried out. "I hate to say it but I don't see a way out of this." Hal looked up at her, instantly seeing the panic and stress that was etched on her face. It was a face of Lois' that he hated seeing the most.
"Now honey, don't think like that," Hal said soothingly. "This family have been in a lot of tough situations and we've always gotten through it. This one is no different." He was staring into her eyes now, her hand clamped over her mouth like it always found itself in times of stress.
They stared at each other for what felt like hours, neither daring to utter a word or move a muscle in case it would somehow make things worse. Finally Lois moved into the chair adjacent to Hal and he grasped her hands into his.
"This isn't the end," he almost whispered, gaining a hopeful nod from Lois.
"The boys are counting on us Hal. What are we going to do?"She asked fearfully. Hal looked down at his hands again before looking back up and staring intently into her eyes.
"We know that there's only one thing that we can do. We may not want to accept it but it's the only way out of this. It's the only choice we have." Hal told her.
"What is it?" Lois breathed out. Hal paused before answering dramatically.
"We have to run."
Yes, I know. It's an incredibly short chapter to start you on but I have already written the next chapter (Chapter 1) so you wont have to wait too long for me to update. In the meantime thanks for reading and all your reviews will be much appreciated :)
