A woman is blowtorching metal, she was putting something together. She wires in a CPU and a bunch of other stuff into the metal. She places another metal plate on the top and seals it on. She adds a jetpack and a signal bleeper on it's head. The robot turned on and said "I am ready for your command." "I am too."
"Just let go of your feeling and float." "I can't." "Just keep trying. You'll get it." Clark was teaching Jenny how to fly. It was not going so well. "You'll be fine, I promise. I went through the same thing." "I'll try." Jenny starts to lift off the ground. "Ok, just keep doing what you're doing." Jenny started to open her eyes. "No way. I'm doing it." "You are." Jenny started to soar through the air back and forth. "This is awesome!" She floats back down. "Nice landing." "Grandpa, I have to show you something. Just follow me." Clark followed Jenny to a box. "My friend made this for me. I think you'll like it." Jenny opened the box. Inside, laid a Superman suit, in Jenny's size and shape. "I don't know what to say." "Listen, I want to continue being that symbol for hope. Like you were. I wanna help people, and save lives. I wanna be Superwoman." "That's great. I thought I would have to convince you to do it." "No need for that. I really want to do it." "If you want to, you have to keep it secret. Stand tall, change your voice, just act different. If you don't they'll come after the people you love." "Who?" "You'll find out soon enough." Jenny looked at her clock. "It's 5 already? I have to go." "Where?" "On a date." "Good luck!" Jenny flew back to her house.
The woman had built a machine to manufacture her robots. All these years, they told her that she could never make money off her inventions, that she would remain a deadbeat forever. It was her time to prove them wrong. And she will not let anyone get in her way.
Jenny drove up to Jake's house at 6. Jake came out in a stunning dress and high heels. Jenny was stunned. She only came dressed in a collared shirt and normal pants. "So, What movie are we going to?" "Whichever one you want, I guess." "I like horrors. They're fun to watch. Especially with someone." "Sounds good to me." "So, anyway. Let's finish the questions." "Alright." "So... Lena Luthor wants to help the city. She says that she promises she doesn't have anything shady going on. And her one goal is to help as many people as possible." "Listen, all these people promise that nothing shady's going on. But everyone has a secret. She has to be looking for revenge or something. All this could be a roose." " That's not all. She wants to manufacture a robotic police force, that can sense crime and help others." "You can make her all great and stuff, and I just can't trust her. I am 100% sure that something else is going on." "Listen, I'm sorry if I'm sounding repetitive. I'm honestly on your side. I just don't think the planet is." "Good to know." "She sounds so convincing. Too convincing. Her effect is kind of like Hitler with the Germans. It seems like she's trying to brainwash us." "How bout we stop worrying about her? Let's live life. Let's have some fun." Jenny parked and they both got out. They walked into the theater. Talking the whole way. They were getting along and sparks were flying between the two. "So you're really something behind that pad, aren't you?" "I have a life you know. Reporting is just a hobby, well- a job- well- an internship. I've done my fair of photoshoots and I play football. What do you do?" "Well, I kind of just sit around. Do my stuff. You know, just the basics. Anyway, you like horror?" "I love horror, I can talk about it for days." "What's your favorite one?" "I love the classics, man. Evil Dead, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, Friday the 13th. You know, like the slasher flicks from the 80's." "I absolutely love Scream. I love how they make fun of the cliches in horror moveis while still being moderatley scary." "I never got into Scream. I don't know why, I just never did." "Well, I 'll show you it sometime. You'll be impressed." Jenny and Jake walked into the theater. "Wait what's the name of the movie again?" "It's- uh- called The Maniac Next Door." "Hopefully it's good." "Probably won't be." "True. Maybe there'll be a few good jumpscares?" "Hopefully." Jake and Jenny sat down and started to watch the movie.
Jake jumped a few times and laid on Jenny's shoulder for a bit. Eventually, the movie ended. They walked out. "That movie sucked!" "You jumped a few times. Don't lie." "True, but what's a guy gonna do when he has such a beautiful girl next to him?" "True, too." They walked out of the theater." "You wanna go on a walk? Just spend some time together?" "Uh, sure, I guess." Jake and Jenny started to walk together. They past an exhibition. The top read "Famous Royal Jewel Collection. NOW SHOWING." "What the hell?" Jake shrugged his shoulders and they went to the ticket booth and bought two tickets. They looked through the collection, but the alrams started to go off. "What's happening?" People started to run away. Jake and Jenny were too confused to run. They heard shots fire and metal being hit. A robot came out of the shadows. "Run Jenny! Do you wanna get trampled?" Jake pushed Jenny out. They went out the back exit. "Jake, stay here. I'm going to get some extra help." Jenny ran off. Jake knew this was an oppurtunity to get a good story for his editor. He ran back in. He saw the robot stuffing the royal jewels into a large retractable pocket on it's back. Jake jumped into the pocket. The robot closed the pocket and started to fly away. With Jake in it.
Jenny quickly changed to Superwoman and flew over to the jewel collection. She noticed a hole in the roof and followed. The robot was flying away with Jake and the jewels! Superwoman followed and tryed to pry the pocket open. It wouldn't budge. The robot started to fire lasers that bounced off Superwoman's chest. The robot turned over and accidently dumped out the jewels. Jake held on for his dear life. Superwoman was knocked off, and tried to fly back to it, but she couldn't clear her mind enough and fell onto powerlines and then on top of a car. The robot turned back over and flied back to the woman's lair. The robot stood in place as the woman approached it. "I'm going to be rich!" The robot opened it's pocket and out came Jake. "Who are you? What have you done with those jewels?" "They're somewhere safe, away from you. But don't worry, you'll read all about it in tomorrow's paper!" "Tell me where those jewels are, boy!"
Jenny got up from the top of the car and ripped off the power lines. Where was Jake? What happened to the robot? Jenny heard screams coming from afar and flew towards them. Superwoman got up and flew towards the screams. Jake was bound and gagged and was dangling above a pot of boiling lava. "You're not going to tell me? You will soon change your mind, boy!" The woman set the gear into motion, that slowly lowered the kidnapped Jake into the lava. Jake struggled with his bonds, but they wouldn't budge. Superwoman burst through the door of the lair. The woman heard this and set her robots to kill Superwoman. Superwoman threw the robots into each other and ripped them apart. The woman noticed this and ran back to where she had Jake. Superwoman followed. The woman held the lever and spoke. "Follow my directions, or I will drop the boy." Jake closed his eyes as Superwoman took another step. The woman pulled the lever and Jake fell. Superwoman caught him before he could fall and put him on the ground. The woman tried dumping the lava on them, but Superwoman blocked it with her body. Superwoman put Jake in one arms and caught the woman with the other. "You're going away for a long time." Superwoman dropped her off at the police station and untied Jake on top of a roof. "You look like, the Superman. And you have his powers too. Who are you?" "Well, I'm Superwoman, Mr. Evans. Superman's a good friend, and I am too. Go report your story, Mr. Evans. Just try to stay out of trouble." "That's gonna be a bit hard to do." "I'm just asking you to try." Superwoman flew off. Jake looked on. "Amazing."
After a few days, Jenny saw the headlines read all over the city. "Superman returns?" "Superwoman saves young reporter from villain." "Superman's relative joins the fight." Jake went up to her. "I'm sure you've heard the news lately." "Yeah, of course. This Superwoman's been going around." "Yeah, she's just great isn't she? Wow." Jenny gave him a look. "But she has nothing on you, of course?" "Sounds good." "Anyway, Jenny. I have to go. My editor's promoting me to a full time reporter!" "Congrats, hope you keep up the work." "Thanks." Jake ran off. Emma came up to Jenny. "So, you've finally showed up." "Yeah, and I think I'm going to be around here for a while." "You sure?" "Positive."
