[TEASER]
EXT-LEXCORP
We see view of the Lexcorp sign.
Lucy Lane(O.S.)
It's over Lex. I want no part of this.
CUT TO:
INT-LEXCORP
Lex is in his seat with a annoyed look and Lucy standing her ground.
Lex Luthor
Its over when I have no use for you and right now you're still very useful.
Lucy Lane
I won't break into Clark's apartment to search for some stupid key. I mean it Lex, you got your money.
Lex Luthor
You mean from Mr. Wayne. (Lucy is stunned) Yeah I have my resources. Lois borrowed money to get you out of a jam. But you don't understand and neither does she, you don't get from under a Luthor. But tell me this Lucy, does Lois know the whole truth about why you're here? How would she feel if she knew?
Lucy Lane
You can't blackmail me again Lex. I'm done. I did everything you asked. I got you the deed to the complex. I watched Edge and my debt is paid in full.
Lucy storms out of his office.
Lex Luthor
We'll see about that.
CUT TO:
INTERGANG LOCATION-DAY
We see Morgan Edge standing at the head table with Bruno standing next to him.
Morgan Edge
Bruno will be supplying every weapon to each street section Intergang owns. These weapons will defend us against Superman and take out the Metropolis P.D. Metropolis will belong to Intergang. (to Bruno) How long until your connect get the weapons?
Bruno Mannheim
He said it'll be a couple of days.
Morgan Edge
Good with these new weapons, no one will get in our way.
Bruno Mannheim
Not even Lex Luthor.
Morgan Edge
Lex Luthor is a good benefactor and I'm tired of explaining myself in which I shouldn't.
Pan a member approaching Edge nervously.
Intergang Member
Edge, sir.
Morgan Edge
What is it? And speak quickly.
Intergang Member
Patrick the person holding the deed was found dead.
Morgan Edge
And?
Intergang Member
Sources says he was killed by Lex's people and not only that but, um. Um.
Morgan Edge
Out with it!
Intergang Member
Lex has the deed to the complex. Lex owns every property we have taken.
Morgan Edge(annoyed)
And sure of this?
Intergang Member
My source confirms it.
Morgan Edge(furious)
The son of b!tch!
Bruno Mannheim
I told he couldn't be trusted. He's trying to take over for himself!
Morgan Edge
Not now Bruno!
Bruno Mannheim
He played you! And I warned you Edge! Maybe should start listening.
Morgan Edge
Watch what you say, remember who's in charge.
Bruno Mannheim
Maybe you're too old to lead. Maybe its time for a new breed.
Morgan Edge
There's a lot of maybes, you think you should be in charge.
Bruno walks to the opposite side of the head chair.
Bruno Mannheim
Crossed my mind. Your leadership has been in question since you forged this pack with Luthor.
We see half of Intergang members appearing behind Bruno. Edge nods with a smirk.
Morgan Edge
I see, so you guys feel the same?
Pan to the other half standing behind Edge.
Morgan Edge
You want my spot Ugly? You're going to have to take it with force.
Bruno Mannheim
I will Edge, because your time is up old timer. The new breed is taking charge. Let the war begin.
Bruno and his half Intergang walk out. Pan to Edge with a stern expression.
Morgan Edge
Get ready.
Cut off on Edge's stern look.

[ACT I]
INT-DAILY PLANET ELEVATOR
HANDS ALL OVER-MAROON 5 is playing the in the back ground.
We see Lois and Clark making out in the elevator. She pulls back.
Lois Lane
Remember Smallville, keep it professional.
Clark Kent
You don't have to tell me, Lois. I'm good at keeping a low profile.
Lois Lane
Really, just try to keep your hands to yourself.
Clark Kent
I don't know that could be hard.
They kiss again. The elevator door opens. They break away quick. Pan to Jimmy with a smirk. The song ends.
Jimmy Olsen
No use playing it off guys, everyone knows you're dating. Plus the lip-lock session in the conference room was a dead give away. Not very sneaky.
Lois Lane
Please Jimmy, we're professionals. Not horny teenagers.
Lois walks past him. Clark smiles.
Jimmy Olsen
Great to see you smiling C.K, its about time.
Clark Kent
Thanks Jim, where you headed?
Jimmy Olsen
Donut run. Chiefs sugar is low. So as usual I'm playing errand boy.
Pan to Perry opening the door to his office.
Perry Olsen
Jimmy! Hurry up with the donut!
Jimmy Olsen
Why me?
Clark Kent
That just means you're his number one guy.
Clark pats him on the back and then walks over to Lois. She smiles at him while she has a pen in her mouth.
Lois Lane
You know who's been quiet lately, Church. Something's up.
Clark Kent(sitting at his desk)
Maybe he's laying low since the attack on M.P.D.
Lois Lane(gets a cup of coffee)
If we find him, he can give information on Edge and Mannheim. The whole Intergang.
Clark Kent
Yeah, seeing he was going tell everything last time.
Lois Lane(sits on the edge of Clark's desk)
Exactly and if we find him, be he'll sing like an opera singer.
Pan to Perry approaching them.
Perry White
Please tell me we have a lead on Intergang. Its time we start to wrap this up.
Lois Lane
Bill Church is are new lead, get him, we have Edge and Intergang.
Perry White
Sounds like a plan. You two get on that bring me solid evidence.
Lois Lane
Don't we always do.
Clark Kent
We just need to find him. I doubt he'll just be out asking around.
Lois Lane
I don't think it will be that hard. What about that Underground Club I went in undercover.
Clark Kent
Where Intergang found you and you were almost killed.
Lois Lane
Memory is foggy on that one Smallville.
Perry White
Get down to the club, find what you can on Church. While you're down there find out more about this bigger problem Deep Throat was getting at.
Lois Lane
Sure thing Per.
Clark Kent
If something worst than Intergang is coming-
Perry White
We need to be the first ones on the case.
Lois Lane
Okay Smallville, let's go make these guys squeal.
Zoom into Clark's ear we hear screams from the people.
Clark Kent
Lois I have an errand to run first, wait for me. I mean it Lois, don't go in by yourself.
Lois Lane
Wait Clark!
Clark runs out the Planet. Lois looks to Perry, he shrugs.
Perry White
Must be a pretty important errand.
Lois Lane
And seriously kidding himself if he thinks I'm going to stay here and wait.
Cut off on Lois.
CUT TO:
EXT-MIDDLETOWN BRIDGE
We see a bus hanging over the rail. Panel through the passengers with terrified looks. The bus begins tilt over and the passengers scream in panic and freight. The bus flips off the bridge. Tilt down below at the ongoing traffic unaware of the falling bus. As the bus is falling, Superman catches it by the front. Then he grips it tightly and floats slowly back onto the bridge. Superman cans the bus to see if the passengers and driver are okay. Soon as gets confirmation, he takes off into the air.
Passenger
Thanks Superman.
CUT TO:
INT-UNDERGROUND CLUB
Panel 360 as we see people fraternizing and drinking. Pan to Lois entering.
Lois Lane
Okay Church, where are you hiding.
Lois deep into the club looking around. She notices a guy smiling at her and waving. Lois awkwardly smiles.
Guy
Hey baby can I buy you a drink.
Lois Lane
How about this, I buy you a drink (she sits next to him) And you tell me where I can find Bill Church.
Guy
Baby I'm Bill Church!
Lois Lane(annoyed)
Sure you are.
Lois gets and starts to walk away from him. The man gets mad and grabs her arm.
Guy
Hey where you going? You owe me a drink.
Lois Lane
If you don't want a broken arm or nose buddy, I suggest you let go.
Clark Kent
You heard her.
Pan to Clark standing behind him. The guy turns to look at Clark and smirks.
The Guy
What are you going to do, four eyes? (grabs him by the collar)
Lois Lane
How cliché.
Lois kicks him in the back leg.
The man limps off.
Clark Kent
Lois, do you ever listen? I asked you to wait for me. Not to go in alone.
Lois Lane
Do I ever listen to you. Plus if I were to waited for you I would probably miss the opportunity.
Clark Kent
Find out anything.
Lois Lane
Nothing, Bill Church isn't here.
Clark Kent
Someone has to know, Edge owns this place.
CUT TO:
EXT-UNDERGROUND CLUB
We see Bruno and members of Intergang along with Kanto standing outside. Intergang is now dressed in blue suit with silver armor on their chest.
Kanto
The time for action is now.
Bruno Mannheim
You're right, thanks for the upgrade Kanto. It's time Edge let the young run things.
Kanto
My pleasure.
Bruno Mannheim
Let's see how much you profit with out your club Edge.
Bruno signals his men to enter. They're now equipped with high tech laser guns.
CUT TO:
INT-UNDERGROUND CLUB
We see Lois and Clark still asking around about Church. Pan to Intergang coming in guns drawn.
Lois Lane
Smallville, this doesn't look good.
Clark Kent
Lois get down!
Clark jumps onto her shielding her as Intergang members fire. Everyone else followed also in his actions.
Lois Lane
Why are they shooting up there on establishment. And those aren't regular guns.
Clark Kent
I don't know Lois, but we have to get out of here.
Clark uses his x-ray vision and see s the back exit.
Clark Kent
Lois the back way is safe. I'll cover you.
Lois Lane
How do you know?
Clark Kent
Just trust me.
Clark grabs Lois as they crawl towards the back. Some people follow.
CUT TO:
EXT-UNDERGROUND CLUB
Lois and Clark make it out the back. Soon as Clark sees Lois is safe. He zips away without her or anyone else noticing. Lois turns to see Clark gone.
Lois Lane(concern)
Clark? (sighs) Not again.
CUT TO:
INT-UNDERGROUND CLUB
The Intergang members continue to shoot up the club. Laser holes in the walls. The club bar catches on fire. The members laugh and cheer. Pan to Superman entering and blows out the fire.
Superman
Drop you weapons, now!(to the people still there) get out and get to safety. They won't hurt you.
The people start to run out.
Intergang Member
You underestimate us Superman. We have new weapons now!
Superman
This doesn't have to go this way, drop the weapons and turn yourself in.
Intergang Member
Yeah right. Don't think so.
The member shoots at him. Superman stands there ready to take the Laser, but when the laser hits him, it sends him flying through the wall and outside the club.
Intergang Member
Intergang is new and improved Superman, I told you. Not even you can stop us.
Cut off on the members walking out. Pan to Lois shocked at what happen.
[FADE OUT][ACT I ENDS][COMMERCIAL BREAK]
[ACT II]
INT-DAILY PLANET
We see Lucy entering nervously. She looks around for Lois and notices Ron on the computer, she approaches him.
Lucy Lane
Ron, is it?
Ron Troupe
Yeah, Lucy, Lois's sister?
Lucy nods. He notices she's nervous.
Ron Troupe
Are you okay?
Lucy Lane
I just really need to speak with my sister, is she here?
Ron Troupe
She's on a assignment, maybe I could help.
Lucy Lane
I highly doubt it. Thanks.
She goes to walk out.
Ron Troupe
Try me.
Ron gives her an assuring smile and she sighs.
CUT TO:
EXT-OUTSIDE UNDERGROUND CLUB
We see Superman slowly getting up. He's in a daze for a moment. Pan to Lois running to his side.
Lois Lane
Superman, are you okay?
Superman
Just give me a second.
Lois Lane
What was with the laser tag. It must've really packed a punch.
Superman
You can say that, I don't know what it was I'm going to find out.
Pan to Detective Sawyer and Turpin pulling up in a squad car. Lois begins to look around.
Lois Lane
Where's Clark, he was right behind me.
Superman
He's fine Lois, I think he's phoning Perry.
Lois Lane
Doesn't make sense for Intergang to attack its own club.
Detective Maggie Sawyer
I'll say. Care to elaborate on what happen.
They turn to see Sawyer and Turpin.
Officer Dan Turpin
Could be for insurance, help with that computer company he plans on running.
Superman
No, I don't think so. This looked more personal.
Officer Dan Turpin
What are you saying?
Lois Lane
Do you think friction within?
Superman
Could be but I have a bad feeling things are going to get worst.
Officer Dan Turpin
Great now we may have turf war on our hand.
Detective Maggie Sawyer
It may not have to do with Turf. But we need to look into this.
Lois Lane
But between who.
Detective Maggie Sawyer
Either way, were going to need a lot of fire power on the safe side.
Superman
I'll keep watch, and try to find some things out.
He takes off into the air.
Officer Dan Turpin
He'll keep an eye out, who does he thin he is?
Detective Maggie Sawyer
Our help if this gets out of hand.
Lois Lane
Yeah so chill on the Superman bashing.
Cut off Lois, Sawyer, and Turpin
INT-INTERGANG LOCATION
We see a hot tempered Edge. He throws a phone to the wall. His loyal followers tremble a little with fear.
Morgan Edge
That little sh!t! Destroys my club! My Club! How much has that set us back.
Intergang Accountant
Umm. Umm.
Morgan Edge
I'm not in the mood for you stuttering. How much!
Accountant
Nearly a Quarter Million.
Morgan Edge
He's dead. He wants to go to war We'll give it to him old school style.
Intergang Member
Excuse me sir, but we don't have the fire power. Mannheim has serious weapons. I'm pretty sure is not man-made.
Morgan Edge
You do have a point.(he takes out a 9mm and shoots him) But don't interrupt me to tell something I already know.
Pan to a man in dark red robe and a hood over his head entering. The members point their guns at him.
Man in the Robe
Hold on. I'm come in peace. I just want to offer my assistance.
Morgan Edge
Last time someone showed up unannounced talking offering help killed my top guy.
Man in Robe
Shame. Cause you'll never be able to go up against Mannheim with those puny human weapons.
Morgan Edge
Who the hell are you?
Man in Robe
My name is not of importance. But I can help you by giving you the same type weapons as Mannheim maybe even better. What do you say?
Edge signals his mean to lower their weapons.
Morgan Edge
I'm listening.
Cut off on Edge and the man smiling.
INT-DAILY PLANET
We see Lois and Clark exiting off the elevator.
Lois Lane
We need to find out why Intergang would shoot up their own club.
Clark Kent
Could be a power struggle.
Lois Lane
Funny, Superman thought the same thing.
Pan to Jimmy approaching.
Jimmy Olsen
Hey guys heard what happen at the club, glad you guys are okay.
Lois Lane
Thanks to Smallville and his quick reflexes. So fast that I missed after we got out of the club. Another one of those disappearing acts.
Clark could tell she was upset.
Jimmy Olsen
Lucky Superman was there. I heard there was a laser gun that out matched him
Lois Lane
They just caught him off guard.
Lois sits at her desk. She begins to research Morgan Edge on computer.
Lois Lane
It could be Bill Church, he goes off the grid and now Edge is taking shots. Not a coincidence.
Clark Kent
Sounds a little far fetch but could be on to something. Church has been to quiet.
Jimmy Olsen
What are you looking up?
Lois Lane
Possible next targets. Whoever hit the club is going hit another one of Edge's properties.
Clark Kent
But which one?
Jimmy Olsen
Can't be many, Edge isn't Lex.
Pan to Perry walking out of his office and over to them.
Perry White
Rumors has it Edge owns a 24-hour Casino downtown.
Lois Lane
24-hour Casino? That great place for addicts and alcoholics.
Clark Kent
That could be the next target.
Perry White
You two get down there. Take Olsen with you, I'll call the Casino and give them the heads up.
Lois and Clark
On it chief.
Perry walks off back to his Office. Clark looks to Lois.
Clark Kent
Lois can we talk a second?
Lois Lane
We're kind of in a middle of chasing a story. I'm sure it can wait.
Jimmy Olsen
I'll be waiting downstairs.
Jimmy heads towards the elevator.
Clark Kent
Lois I said I was sorry.
Lois Lane(annoyed)
Clark, you pull more disappearing acts than Houdini.
Clark Kent
I don't know what you want from me Lois.
Lois Lane
Nothing, just I need know you have my back as my partner.
Clark Kent
Always.
Lois sighs and then smirks. She playfully punches him in the arm.
Lois Lane
Then let get to that Casino. So Smallville, how do you feel about gambling?
Cut off on Lois and Clark.
[FADE OUT][ACT II ENDS][COMMERCIAL BREAK]
[ACT III]
INT-CASINO
Panel as we see people gambling fraternizing. Classic music is playing. Pan to man at the 21 table.
Man
Hit me.
The clerk slams a card down and the man went over 21.
Man
Damn! This is a rip!
He walks off angrily with his glass of alcohol. Tilt up through a window as we see Morgan Edge looking out. He is backed by Intergang. A clerk approaches him.
Clerk
I don't know about this.
Morgan Edge
Shut up and get back to the tables. Mannheim we'll be here. No doubt he'll try to rob the joint first. (to a member) Get the new weapons ready. No one double crosses me. The young must be put in their place.
Tilt back down to the entrance as we see Lois, Clark, and Jimmy entering. Lois has a smile on her face as she sees the slot machines.
Lois Lane(turns to face them)
Alright Jimmy you take pictures, Clark you go do what is you do investigating and I will investigate over by the slot machines.
Clark Kent
Remember Lois, we're here to investigate.
Lois Lane
I know and that's exactly what I'm going to do, investigate by the slot machines. Have any change?
Clark sighs and hands her a dollar in quarters. Lois heads to the slot machines. She starts using them and wins. She grabs a bucket and the change falls in.
Jimmy Olsen
She's something else.
Clark Kent(smiles)
She sure is.
Clark looks to see a few Intergang members entering. The notices Bruno. The members are wearing new attire. Blue spandex and black mask with black goggles.
Jimmy Olsen
Is that Bruno?
Clark Kent
Yeah, it looks like Intergang has a new look.
Jimmy Olsen
He's rolling in with heavily armed weapons C.K.
Clark Kent
Mannheim is the one fighting for control of Intergang.
Jimmy Olsen
You think so? Why?
Clark Kent
He's out in the open with Intergang armed. Watch Lois Jimmy, I'm going to call Sawyer.
Jimmy Olsen
Wait C.K!
Clark runs out. Pan to Lois wondering and then she sees Bruno and Intergang. She lays down her bucket of her winnings.
Lois Lane
Now what is Mannheim doing here wide open with the boys in blue spandex?
Several of the Intergang members lift their guns in the air and open fire. People become scared and panic. They start to run for the doors but they are blocked. Lois ducks down by a slot machine. Jimmy crawls to her.
Jimmy Olsen
What the hell is going on?
Lois Lane
What's going, Bruno is tired of being taking orders. He's the guy who attacked the club. He wants Intergang.
Jimmy Olsen
I think C.K. got the same answer.
Lois Lane
Where is Clark?
Jimmy Olsen
Went to call Sawyer.
Lois Lane(sighs)
Ten years, and you still think of me as a rookie.
Pan back to Bruno and his Intergang. People look on with worried expressions.
Bruno Mannheim
I'm going to be nice about this and I'm rarely am. I want all your winnings and earnings.
They look around in disbelief. Bruno nods to a member. He shoots a blackjack clerk in the chest and a hole is created that you can see through him. A woman yells.
Bruno Mannheim
I'm not kidding. Now the earnings and winnings.
Morgan Edge(O.S.)
Think you can rob me? Huh Ugly!
Pan to Edge entering with his side of Intergang. Pan to Jimmy.
Jimmy Olsen
This is about to get dangerous, Lois. We should like get out of here.
Lois Lane
Don't wimp out on me Jimmy, we been tighter spots than this. Beside a true reporter never runs from a story.
Jimmy Olsen
I keep forget you're nuts.
Morgan Edge
You dare try to take from me.
Bruno Mannheim
I'm just taking and destroying everything that is yours.
Morgan Edge
I don't think so. You're not the only one with connects.
Lois Lane
What's he mean by that?
Panel though as we see Edge's Intergang equipped with high-tech weapons.
Morgan Edge
I'm give you five seconds to start exiting my Casino.
Bruno Mannheim
I'm sure you won't, not a upstanding citizen such as yourself. I mean even Lex Luthor endorses you.
Morgan Edge
You come in my place armed, it's self defense. You never listen Mannheim. You're too brash, always has been.
Bruno gets ready to shoot. Edge but Superman zips between them.
Superman
Its not going down like this.
Superman crushes the guns. Pan to Lois and Jimmy smile on their faces.
Lois Lane
And that's a wrap.
Bruno Mannheim
Oh really?(he pulls out a phone)Now!
Tilt up to an explosion and the roof collapsing. A small high-tech aircraft that is being driven by a member of Intergang enters. Edge looks shocked. There appears to be several aircrafts above them.
Panel through Superman, Lois, and Jimmy shocked. The people begin to panic more and start running to the exit but Intergang still blocks it.
Edge punches Mannheim. Then Intergang members on both sides start firing. Superman covers Lois and Jimmy. Then he takes off towards the aircrafts.
Lois Lane
Be careful. (to Jimmy) We have to help Superman get these people out of her.
Jimmy Olsen
Any idea on how to play crowd control?
Lois Lane
Follow my lead.
Lois runs towards the front entrance.
Jimmy Olsen
Yup she is nuts.
Jimmy follows Lois. She takes out a few members on both sides. But one member grabs her but Jimmy hits him with a till.
Lois Lane
Way to have my back.
Jimmy Olsen
Anytime.
They open the entrance doors. They signal for the people to exit.
Lois Lane
Come on this way!
The people begin run towards the exit. They stop as they look out with horror. Lois and Jimmy are puzzled, they turn to look out the door. Tilt up to Superman floating in front of the aircraft.
Superman
This doesn't have to go this way.
The member driving the aircraft fires at Superman, it shoots out a black energy like ball. He dodges but the energy hit's the room with the see through glass and all the glass start collapsing with half of the roof and room. There's a man running below, Superman zips and grabs the man.
Man
Thank you Superman, thank you.
Superman
Let's get you to safety.
He takes him to the entrance and looks to Lois and Jimmy and nods.
Superman
I need you two out of here as well. Its about to get very dangerous.
Lois Lane
I'm afraid it already has.
Superman looks outside to see silver high-tech tanks and more aircrafts. It look like a battlefield out there. They are fighting it out ripping the city in the process.
Lois Lane
The battle royal has begun.
Superman
Get out of here now. You an Jimmy take the people I will do my best to lead you guys out.
Lois Lane
Its news, I have to be here and report.
Superman
Lois this is no time to be stubborn.
Jimmy Olsen
Hey guys, where's Edge and Mannheim?
Pan to see Edge and Mannheim gone.
Superman
We worry about them latter. I have to-
A energy ball hits Superman, sending him flying outside.
Lois Lane
Superman!
Panel to Superman hitting a tank. He then gets up with a stern look. Pan to the aircrafts floating above the destroyed Casino. Pan back to Superman.
Cut off on Superman and the war between Intergang behind him. The MPD showing up.
[FADE OUT][ACT III ENDS][COMMERCIAL BREAK]
[ACT IV]
EXT-ROOF EDGE COMPUTER COMPANY
We see Edge and Mannheim having a stare off.
Morgan Edge
Why did you bring here? Huh!
Bruno Mannheim
Tell me was it worth it, Edge, sleeping with Lex Luthor? Too bad grand opening won't be happening.
Morgan Edge
What have you done Mannheim! You compromised everything!
Bruno Mannheim
Compromised! Who was the wrong who got a god involved in our affairs and lost one of our kings? I did what you didn't, I made Intergang a force to be reckoned with. Look around!
Panel through Metropolis as we see the war between Intergang. Smoke is rising in the area. Pan back to Edge shaking his head.
Morgan Edge
You showed your arrogance! You never learned the game, Mannheim.
CUT TO:
EXT-DOWNTOWN METROPOLIS-MID-DAY
We see MPD shooting it out with both sides of Intergang. They are caught right in the middle, they use the four squad cars surrounding them for cover. One officer is shot in the chest, in his heart. We go to Sawyer and Turpin.
Officer Dan Turpin
We're sitting ducks here.
He goes to shoot but gets grazed in the arm by a laser. We see part of his skin hanging.
Detective Maggie Sawyer
Careful Turpin, whatever weapons they have, out match ours.
Officer Dan Turpin
You don't say, where's the boy scout anyway?
Tilt up to Superman fighting the high-tech aircrafts. He dodges a energy ball which hit's a billboard sign, its about to fall on a couple. He zips over to catch it and sets it on the roof. Then he torpedoes towards the aircraft, his eyes glow fiery as he prepares his heat vision, he cut the aircraft in half. Then grabs the pilot, and delivers him to the police swat van. Tilt back down to tanks firing, hitting police cars in the process. After Superman finishes the last of the aircrafts, he zips towards the tank and grabs the cannon and bends it upwards. The driver and passenger exit out quickly. Superman takes a rope and wraps them up.
Intergang Member
Awe come on Superman, cut us a break.
Pan to Lois and Jimmy dodging while trying stay within the story. Jimmy is taking pictures as he nervous.
Jimmy Olsen
This is like ground zero. We should really be getting out of here. Hope C.K. is alright.
Lois Lane
Camera on the action Jimmy. Me too.(thinking: Clark where are you?) Dear God.
Jimmy Olsen
What?
Pan to a little girl wondering around looking for her father. A tank is about to run her over. Pan to Lois sprinting towards her and grabs her before the tank hits her.
Lois Lane
You okay?
Little Girl
I can't find my daddy.
Lois Lane
We'll find your daddy, I promise.
The tank turns around and points the cannon towards them.
Intergang Member
Lois Lane, Mannheim will be glad I killed you. I'll rise up in the ranks.
Lois Lane
Good luck, many have tried so good in line.
Jimmy Olsen
Lois!
The member is about to fire, Lois signals the little girl to run but she is terrified to. The tank lifts up and it we see Superman is the cause holding it over his head. He flips the tank over sideways. The member crawls out. Superman pushes him slightly to the tank knocking him out and he then looks to Lois.
Superman(concerned)
You okay, Lois.
Lois Lane
Thanks to you.
Superman
What about you?
He kneels down to the little girl and smiles. She smiles back and gives him a thumbs up. Pan to a man running towards them.
Man
Anna! Anna!
Little Girl
Daddy!
He hugs her tightly not wanting to let her go. Superman and Lois smile at the reunion. His facial expression then goes to stern and then take off into the air. Lois looks up concerned.
CUT TO
MIDDLE OF THE WARZONE
The MPD are useless against Intergang and their tanks. Tilt up to Superman as he comes crashing down hard creating a crater.
Officer Dan Turpin
If it isn't big blue now.
Superman
This ends now!
Superman inhales deeply and then exhales using his ice breath. [SLOWMOTION-ALL OF INTERGANG TANKS AND WEAPONS BEGIN TO FREEZE. SLOWMOTION ENDS] Superman looks around in x-ray vision seeing if he got all of them.
Detective Maggie Sawyer
Alright boys. Lets round them up! (to Superman) You okay?
Superman
I'll be alright, Detective Sawyer. Just glad its finally over.
Officer Dan Turpin(respect)
Nice work.
Superman nods.
Detective Maggie Sawyer
But where's Mannheim and Edge. No way they're getting out of this.
CUT TO:
EXT-ROOF OF EDGE COMPUTER COMPANY
Edge and Mannheim are now in a fist fight. Bruno throws a right hook to Edge's jaw. Edge retaliates with a gut shot.
Morgan Edge
I should have been killed you.
Bruno Mannheim
Admit it Edge, I made Intergang what it is, me and Church. You were nothing but a pencil pusher.
They begin to tussle towards the edge of the roof.
Morgan Edge
You'll never lead.
Bruno Mannheim
We'll see. Answer me this Edge, where did you get the weapons, was it Kanto?
Morgan Edge
Trouble trusting your connects. Guess you'll die not knowing.
Bruno Mannheim
Edge…Even Angels fall from grace.
Edge looks at him shocked. Mannheim pushes him off the roof. Bruno has a twisted smile as he falls.
Bruno Mannheim
I'm the boss now.
Cut off on Mannheim's sadistic smile.
[FADE OUT][ACT IV ENDS][COMMERCIAL BREAK]
[ACT V]
INT-DAILY PLANET LOBBY AREA-NIGHT
We are focused on a banner that says "For Victims of Ground Zero" Panel 360 as it appears everybody is gathered around. They all have depressed and sad expressions. Lex is also present. Pan to Perry on stage, he is about to make a speech.
Perry White
I like thank you all for being here at this charity event for the victims of yesterday's tragedy. The money you'll be giving will be going to victim's families and reconstruction of destroyed business and homes. The first person to donate is no other than Lex himself.
The people applaud as Lex walks up to Perry and shakes his hand. Pan to Lois and Jimmy with disgusted looks.
Lois Lane
Just like Lex, always trying to play the white knight.
Jimmy Olsen
Yeah, even though he plays a big part on what happened. In some way I guess, it's sort of good Edge is dead. Have to send Bruno a thank you card.
Lois Lane(concerned)
Jimmy? Edge didn't deserve death, its too good for him. He belonged in prison with the rest of slime.
Jimmy Olsen
What! He deserved what he got, what he did to Chloe I'm not a least bit sorry.
He walks off begrudgingly. Lois eyes him concerned. Pan back to Lex.
Lex Luthor
I will do everything in my power to rebuild this city. Even better than before, we can't another tragedy like this happen again. That's a promise.
Lois Lane
Oh Lex, you're so full of it.
Lois turns to the floor and see's Clark.
CUE IN SHERLY CROW'S I SHALL BELIEVE
Lois smiles and walks over and hugs him. He returns the embrace.
Clark Kent
Lois, I know you want a explanation but-
Lois Lane
Shh Smallville. I know you have your secrets. (Clark looks at her skeptically)I remember speech I gave Chloe in her senior year. Just wait for that person with the secret to feel comfortable to tell you. I trust you Clark. Only of the few I do.
Clark Kent
Wow Lois, that's very mature of you.
Lois Lane
With age comes wisdom Smallville. Besides, I like my men with a little mystery. Keeps it interesting.
Clark smirks. Lois lays her head on his chest. They slowly dance as he grips her tightly. He looks over to Lex who is staring at him sternly. Then he smirks at Clark before exiting the Planet.
CUT TO:
EXT-DAILY PLANET
I SHALL BELIEVE IS STILL PLAYING
We see Jimmy sitting on the sidewalk depressed in front of the Planet. He takes out a bottle of a alcoholic beverage, and stares at it for a minute. Then he opens and gulps some.
The song ends.
CUT TO:
EXT-ROOF OF EDGE'S COMPUTER COMPANY
We see Kanto and the hooded man from earlier
Hooded Man
You did good Kanto.
Kanto
Of course. Humanities will, will begin to fall. Just one person poses a threat.
Hooded Man
That Superman character. I have another person to add to the plan along with Intergang. He intrigues me.
Kanto
Who's that Dasaad?
Dasaad
Lex Luthor. (Kanto raises his eyebrow) He will lead us to our lord and we shall free him…Darkseid will rise again.
The camera is now viewed on their backs as the camera zooms out.
Cut off.
