Chapter 2
AN: I just finished this chapter and thought I could upload it now. Thanks to all those who read, reviewed and alerted: I am so happy right now, I feel like I can fly... :)
I don't know exactly where this story will go yet but I have several ideas and I really hope, that I won't diappoint you.
What I forgot last chapter was the disclaimer-thing, so I'll just do it now:
Disclaimer:This is a website called , so if I really did own 'Superman' I certainly wouldn't publish any stories about Superman here.
Usually when you have to think about something uncomfortable, something you really don't want to think about, and you truly hope that something happens with what you hope to distract youself from thinking about the uncomfortable thing, nothing happens.
Tonight was no exception. It was a quiet night; nothing really serious happened, nothing which could keep Superman busy. A few accidents, fires and robberies, but nothing more.
He was flying high above the roofs of Metropolis and had to think about Lois because he didn't have to do anything else, which was very unusual.
He had been struggeling with himself the whole night if he should visit her to check if she was alright and finally decided to look for her.
Yes, he was still mad at her, but he still wanted to make sure she was really okay. Superman landed on the veranda of Lois' house and looked trough the window straight into her kitchen, because he knew she was there. He saw her sitting on a table, sleeping with her head resting in her arms. He couldn't help but to smile. For a few seconds he was playing with the thought to take her to her bedroom, but he decided against it. If he wanted Lois to believe that Clark actually was Superman, he couldn't let Clark be angry at her, while Superman was behaving like his usual self.
Superman listened to Jason's steady heartbeat. Jason, his son. This one thought gave him the strength to believe that everything's gonna be okay again soon. He spent the next two hours just watching his son sleeping. But when he heard the loud noise of a car crash, he sighed: Superman had some work to do.
Lois Lane found herself waking at her kitchen table. Her whole body was stiff, so she stretched her arms and slowly got up. She had been up late waiting for Superman. But he hadn't shown up, so she was left thinking about the whole situation between her and Clark Kent. Of course it was strange, that Superman hadn't made an apperance, because he had just learned that he had a son who he obviously liked. She'd thought, that he would at least visit his son, and she had planned that she would talk to him about the whole situation with Clark. Lois wondered, where Superman had been. 'Perhaps he was just busy' she thought. 'Or maybe he was here when I was asleep...on my table and I just missed him'
She looked at her watch; it was five o'clock. Knowing, that it would be hopeless to go to bed and try to sleep, she decided to change her clothes and make coffee. She sat back down with a cup of hot coffee and reworked an article she had written the day before.
Hours later, after she'd brought Jason to school, she went to the Planet. Without looking she knew, that Clark was already there. Clark never was late. She sat down at her desk and started drumming nervously on her table. Before she was going to talk to him she first had to know what she would say. 'But what could I say?' Lois sighed. This was going to be a long day.
The following hours seemed just to fly out the window and nothing extraordinary happened. Okay, there was one time when something about a big brand was running on the TV. Clark had left the office and returned just after the people in the burning builing had been saved by Superman. 'Could it be, that he was telling the truth?', she thought, but immediatlely scolded herself for that thought. 'Probably he just went to the restroom' she kept telling herself.
Clark shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to ignore Lois. Did she have to stare at him like that?
It was right, that he could be shot without getting hurt, but bullets were nothing against Lois. She had been watching him since she'd arrived at the office and slowly it was driving him insane. She probably hadn't known, that she had been staring at him, until she saw, that he was looking back at her.
Lois got up and began walking towards him. She had to talk to him and she had to talk to him now. When she finally arrived at Clark's desk, she said "Clark, we have to-"
But she was interrupted by Perry, who shouted "LANE! KENT! IN MY OFFICE!"
Both reporters were sitting in Perry White's office, looking at their chief disbelieving: He wanted them to work together. At a different time Clark would've been happy to work together with Lois Lane, but not at this moment. Lois seemed to feel the same way.
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" she asked. Perry nodded
"Of course" he said. "You two are my best reporters, why not?"
Clark shrugged. "I am not as good as Lois. I'm sure, that she would be better off alone..."
"Oh, what happened? You two were great partners a few years ago" Perry told them.
"Were..." Lois muttered, too quietly to be heard of a human. But Clark could understand, what she'd said and it hurt him.
"Whatever" Perry continued. "I can't have just one reporter for this topic. It's too big, too important and maybe even too dangerous..."
Dangerous? Perry now had the attention from both reporters.
"What is it?" Lois wanted to know.
Perry looked serious now. "We got hints, that a special person came back to Metropolis and is planning something..."
"Who is it?" Clark asked.
Perry didn't look happy. "Lex Luthor" he said.
AN: Yay, things are starting to get interesting. I hope this story will work out like I planned it... :°)
By the way: Thanks for reading! I'm not really self-confident, so I'd really like to know, what you are thinking about this story so far. It would be nice if you left me a review, so that I know how to improve my writing... Uh... I know the chapter isn't really long, but I have to do lots of homework now and I thought, this was a good point to cut it.
Whatever: See you next time!
