Chapter 4
Clark nodded, and started to rotate them slowly.
Lana rested her head on his chest and thought quietly for a minute. "Three years...that's longer than most super-heroes."
"The only ones I know who have done it longer or as long are Batman and Spiderman. Ironman got shot out of the sky two weeks ago above Afghanistan. I know because I helped out a little in Iran." Clark said with a sigh, "Superheroes are becoming extinct."
Lana raised an eyebrow slightly, "There's something wrong here. Batman, Spiderman, Ironman, The Red-and-Blue Blur...You need to change it..." She said shaking her head.
Clark smiled slightly, "If you can think of anything better, than I'm open to suggestions...As you can see..." He said, looking down at his clothing, "I need a uniform. I'm going to Gotham later on to ask Bruce if he could rummage something up for me."
"Bruce..?" She asked, "Bruce Wayne? How do you two know each other?"
Clark chuckled, "I've been working with him on and off for the past year. Three words; The Batman."
Lana frowned, then blinked, then look up to him. "You're sure?"
She watched as he nodded. "Positive. I worked it out long before I met him. Batman has the Bat mobile...Wayne Enterprise just happened to own a prototype of The Tumbler. The Tumbler just so happened to disappear around the same time The Dark Knight showed his pointy ears...The only person in that company who had the clout to make something disappear was Bruce."
"Wow, what I know about him; I took him as an arrogant Playboy Billionaire, now I found out he goes and saves the World."
"Gotham...Gotham is his jurisdiction. The World is mine. I'm the only one fast enough to cover everywhere." Clark said with a shrug. "Ok, I'm taking us back down..." He added, as they slowly began floating downwards.
Lana closed her eyes tightly, and buried her head into his neck. A minute later; she grinned and whispered into Clark's ear. "I've thought up a name..."
Clark smiled and nuzzled her neck, before asking. "What's that, then?"
"My Superman."
The End.
