Written by Terence Jordan
[TEASER]
EXT-DAILY PLANET
We see the Daily Planet globe spinning.
INT-PERRY'S OFFICE
Lois and Clark are standing in front of the desk. Lois is wearing red silk shirt with black pants and Clark is wearing white collard shirt with red tie, a black vest and black pants. Perry is sitting in his seat. He slides two tickets towards them. Lois looks over them and isn't pleased.
Lois Lane
Really a museum? Come on Chief. I was never one for the artsy and historical artifacts.
Perry White
This is a charity, and Lex personally invited you two by sending these tickets himself.
Lois Lane
Like he cares for the people from the City Pandemic. He caused it. Now he wants to play hero.
Clark Kent
I know how you feel Lois, trust me. But this is a charity event. No matter if Lex is hosting it.
Lois Lane
I get it Smallville but if we really want to give those people from last week's assault justice, we go after Lex hard. While he's hosting his charity I'm sure we can sneak over to Lexcorp and find some dirt on him.
Perry sighs.
Perry White
Clark is right Lois. You two need to go to this benefit for the victims of the Pandemic. Stay clear from Lexcorp but while you two there keep a close eye on Lex. Got it.
Clark Kent
Got it chief.
Perry White
Lois?
Lois taps her foot annoyed. Clark gives her a look and she sighs.
Lois Lane
Fine. But mark my words Perry, I'm going to get Lex and he's going to that nice barricade cell with the one little toilet where he belongs.
Perry White
Good. Now you two bring me something worthy of the front page.
Lois walks out. Clark sighs.
INT-CENTER OFFICE
Lois and Clark walk out Perry's office.
Lois Lane
You know I'm right Smallville, we need to see what Lex is up to.
Clark Kent
I do agree Lois, but Perry makes a valid point. We go after Lex now, we have nothing. Lex is too smart to be caught that easily.
He places both hands on her shoulder comfortably. Then slides down to her arms.
Clark Kent
Look, let's just go to the Museum, do a couple interviews. And we'll leave. Who knows it might be fun.
Lois Lane
Clark, it's a museum. It won't be that exciting.
Clark Kent
You'll be surprised.
Lois Lane
(sighs)Usually I'm the reassuring one of this relationship.
Clark smirks.
Cut off on them exiting the Planet.
EXT-METROPOLIS MUSEUM OF HISTORY
We see Reporters and people standing outside, some are excited and some seem iffy. We go to the front of the museum and we see museum clerks and one of them holding pair scissors. They're standing in front of red tape. Lex is standing at the podium getting ready to speak.
Lex Luthor
Today marks the one week anniversary of the City Pandemic that occurred, and as the city still rebuilds, I assure you Lexcorp is doing the best we can to come back from that horrendous day. Though we still mourn for our losses, today I've decided to give back.
Pan to Lois and Clark with Jimmy who is taking photos standing in the center of reporters.
Lois Lane
I never thought a guy can be more full of himself.
Clark Kent
Lex does have a way of manipulating people.
Lois Lane
I say. You'll think the guy was the pope.
Jimmy Olsen
Just goes to show you how far Lex's ego can go.
Pan back to Lex who looks to Clark. Clark could tell he was smirking a little.
Lex Luthor
Today the Museum will auctioning off some its valuable items to give to charity of those who lost homes, loved ones and so forth. Today is a new beginning now let us put the horrific day behind us.
Panel through the people as they cheer and clap. Beside Lois, Clark and Jimmy who have unsure looks. Pan back to Lex who takes the scissors and cut the red rope. Lex then enters as everyone else follows.
Lois Lane
And they just eat it up.
INT-MUSEUM OF HISTORY
We see a stage, chairs and a podium. We panel through the museum seeing all ancient artifacts. Some of Greek ancient, roman, and etc. Lex makes his way to the stage. He approaches the podium and he waits for everyone to be seated.
Lex Luthor
With this auction, we hope to a least raise up to Five Hundred Thousand and that's a start.
Lois and Clark sit in middle row with Jimmy.
Lois Lane
Great more of him talking.
Clark Kent
Lois.
Pan to as we see Bruno Mannheim entering. Lois, Clark, and Jimmy are shocked to see him so is Lex.
Jimmy Olsen
What the hell is he doing here?
Lois Lane
My thoughts exactly. He's out right in the open. Like people don't know who he is.
Clark Kent
If he's here then this isn't good.
Lois Lane
Considering that he almost killed everyone in the casino and he basically started Ground Zero. Now this is news worthy.
Mannheim notices Lois and the others looking. He approaches and sits right next to Jimmy.
Bruno Mannheim(places his arm around Jimmy)
Now if isn't my friends from the Daily Planet.
Jimmy pushes his arm off begrudgingly.
Clark Kent
We're no friends of yours Mannheim. What are you doing here?
Bruno Mannheim
I've come to bid of course. On a item more valuable then anything.
Lois Lane
The only place you should be is Stryker's Prison. Cuddling up with bubba.
Bruno Mannheim
You have no proof. I've been granted freedom. I am now a member of society.
Lois Lane
The justice system is not what it use to be. If murderous psychopaths like you can run around freely.
Bruno Mannheim
Still holding a grudge. It wasn't me who killed your cousin.
Lois grinds her teeth and clenches fist as does Jimmy. Clark steps in to keep the peace.
Clark Kent
This is a charity event. Let's not forget that.
Bruno Mannheim
Very well.
Bruno gets up and then walks up to the front. Lex eyes him cautiously before speaking.
Lex Luthor
Let us begin the auction starting with our first bidding.
One of the museum clerks bring case with a meteor fragment on to the stage and sets it on the table.
Lex Luthor
This Meteor Fragment has been rumored to have been here since the Dawning of time. Some people say is priceless but if you knew the history you'll think other wise. Some say it can grant immortality and others say it will grant great wisdom. What do you say we start the bidding at Five Hundred Dollars… Five Hundred Dollars.
Bruno raises his hand.
Bruno Mannheim
Five Thousand. I bid Five Thousand dollars.
Everyone in the museum are shocked at how much he's bidding. As is Lex Luthor.
Lex Luthor
Five Thousand going once, going twice,
No one wanted to go higher. Bruno smiles.
Lex Luthor
Sold! To Mr. Mannheim
Pan to Lois and Clark.
Clark Kent(curious)
What do you suppose that Fragment means to Mannheim?
Lois Lane(intrigued)
I don't know but it must mean a lot if he's spending that kind cash on a priceless piece of rock that no doubt is probably fake
Pan to a man(Mirror Master) dressed in orange spandex with a green mask, gloves and boots running up on stage. He grabs the Fragment. People are shocked. Bruno is upset.
Bruno Mannheim
Hey someone stop that buffoon.
Pan to Clark dashing off before Lois and Jimmy could know. Lex tries to talk to him.
Lois Lane
Clark?
Lex Luthor
Excuse me, this is a charity event. And I will have to ask you,
Mirror Master grabs Lex.
Mirror Master
Sorry cue ball, but this is mine for the taken.
Superman
I don't think so.
Pan to Superman entering through the front doors. The people applaud. Lex looks at him annoyed.
Superman
Drop the fragment. Thievery is not the way to go.
Mirror Master
Just want I need, another costume buffoon. Sorry Superman, I have high stakes involved.
Superman tries flying towards him but Mirror Master runs and literally jumps into a mirror. Leaving Superman and the other surprised.
Lois Lane
Now I have seen everything.
Cut off on Superman looking at the mirror confused.

INT-MUSEUM OF HISTORY
The police are now here investigating the scene. They're going over the mirror, Mirror Master jumped in. Pan to Lois and Jimmy standing by, seeing if they can get some info. Clark walks back in.
Clark Kent
Any news?
Lois Lane
You sure ducked out pretty quickly.
Clark Kent
I went to call the police.
Lois Lane

Clark Kent

They smirks at each other.
Jimmy Olsen
You know that guy in the mask looked familiar. Like I seen on the news or something.
Lois Lane
If that guy was news, I'm sure I would have heard of guy jumping through mirrors. I mean who does that.
Clark Kent
And why would he take the Fragment of all things.
Lois Lane
Maybe he has your hobby for collecting rocks.
Clark Kent
Maybe Officer Turpin can tell us something.
Lois Lane
Yeah because he's always willing to give out information to the press.
They approach Turpin who is still trying to figure how Mirror Master jumped into the mirror.
Clark Kent
Officer Turpin, do you have any idea what happen?
Officer Dan Turpin
Not sure. Just doesn't seem possible. We don't even know who the guy is. More costumed freaks coming out of the wood work.
Lois Lane
So there's no lead on who the robbing Candy Man is.
Man's Voice
The guys name is Mirror Master.
Turpin, Lois, Clark, and Jimmy all turn to see where the voice came from. Clark has small smile on his face. It is revealed to Bart who is wearing casual collard black shirt and tan pants. He has police badge and holding a brief case.
Officer Dan Turpin
Who the hell are you?
Barry Allen
Sorry let me introduce myself I'm Barry Allen, Forensic Scientist from Central City Police Department.
Lois Lane
You're a long way from Central City.
Officer Dan Turpin

Barry Allen
Thought I might can lend a hand. Since he's one of ours. Mirror Master been on the run since he stole from the Museum in Central City.
Clark notice Bart is now different. More serious and adult.
Lois Lane
The guy has thing for Museums.
Clark Kent
How is he able to jump through mirrors?
Before he can answer Bruno storms interrupting them.
Bruno Mannheim
Hope someone here is going to get back what I paid for.
Lois Lane
How do we know you weren't behind it. Five thousand is a lot of money to spend.
Bruno Mannheim
Chump change. I want that Fragment back and I want it back now.
Bruno walks off.
Barry Allen
That guy really has stick up his butt.
Clark smiles as he sees some part of Bart's humor left.
Barry Allen
Well I'll be glad to give you more information down at the station. Show you some paper work on Mirror Master.
Officer Dan Turpin
Yeah, since were not getting nothing here.
Officer Dan Turpin walks away. Barry looks to Clark.
Barry Allen
We'll definitely catch up amigo.
Clark nods as Barry walks off.
Lois Lane
Old friend of yours.
Clark Kent
You can say that. I say we get back to the Planet and find out what we can on this Mirror Master.
Lois Lane
Sounds like a plan to me.
Cut off on Lois, Jimmy, and Clark.
INT-DAILY PLANET
We see Clark, Lois, and Jimmy on computers searching for information on Mirror Master.
Lois Lane
Tell me why we just follow Turpin to the MPD to get information from your friend Barry Allen.
Clark Kent
You know how Turpin is Lois, he doesn't like giving Press information if he's not really sure how to handle a situation.
Jimmy Olsen
I knew I seen the guy before. Mirror Master, he's one of the Flash's villains. Real name Sam Scudder.
Lois Lane
Ah I see. Say's here this guy use to be toot bit criminal. Robbing banks, jewelry stores, and even old ladies. He's regular stand up guy.
Clark Kent
The thing we need to find out is, what he has plan with that Fragment. He may try to sell it to Bruno for higher fee. Maybe Lex.
Lois Lane
Is that meteor fragment worth that much.
Clark Kent
Bruno seems to think so. Maybe its more to it. But we need to find this Mirror Master.
Lois Lane
I say you call your amigo Barry. Maybe he can help track him down.
Pan to Lucy entering the building.
Lucy Lane
Hey sis, what's going on?
Lois Lane
Hey Lucy, same as always. Trying land the big story.
She looks to Clark and Jimmy and waves. They rave back.
Lois Lane
What are you doing here?
Lucy Lane

Lois Lane
I see things are starting to get serious.
Clark Kent
Good for you Lucy.
Lucy Lane
Thanks, Clark.
Pan to Ron approaching. He says hello to them and kisses Lucy on the cheek. She blushes.
Ron Troupe
Ready?
She nods and they head out. As they were heading out Barry enters and looks to Clark.
Barry Allen

Lois looks between the two skeptically. Clark nods to him. Cut off on them walking off and Lois's confused expression.
INT-MANNHEIMS CONDO
We see Bruno pacing around his living room like he's waiting for something or someone. Pan to Mirror Master exiting out of the wall mirror by the TV.
Mirror Master
Well the plan went off perfectly. And Luthor didn't know what hit him.
Bruno Mannheim
Where's the Fragment?
Mirror Master
Where's my money?
Bruno Mannheim
You show me the fragment and I show you the cash.
Mirror Master takes the Fragment out of his pocket and gives to Bruno. Bruno then points to a brief case on the counter.
Bruno Mannheim
Cash is on the counter. Ten grand just like we arranged.
Mirror Master walks over to the counter opens the brief case to see nothing inside. And is angry.
Mirror Master
What is this?
Pan to Bruno holding a 9mm silencer.
Bruno Mannheim
Did you really think I would pay you ten grand for this. You really are whacko in Halloween getup.
Mirror Master turns around and smirks at him.
Mirror Master
Did you really think I didn't anticipate this?
The Fragment then shatters into pieces of glass. Bruno looks to him outraged.
Bruno Mannheim
What have you done?
Mirror Master
You're a snake Mr. Mannheim and this deal has been canceled.
Bruno Mannheim
Where's the Fragment? Tell me now!
Mirror Master
Must be very important, for you to go through this much trouble. I might make a fortune in the black market. Be lucky you're still alive.
Bruno Mannheim
You won't live to make it out of here.
Bruno shoots him and he shatters into glass pieces. Bruno is shocked.
Bruno Mannheim
What the hell?
Mirror Master
So much for being a whacko, ay Mannheim.
Cut off on a very pissed off Mannheim.

Mirror Master

He takes out some photographs of the paintings he stole from the Central City Museum. The man looks at him uncertain.
Shady Character

Superman
How do we find Mirror Master. He's got advantage over us. He could be anywhere.
The Flash
He's still in Metropolis and he still needs to move those paintings and the Fragment.
Superman
But the Black Market here failed. Maybe he'll go after Bruno or Lex? Try to sell it to them. And we have to save Lois.
The Flash
This is your city Clark, who most like strike deal with Mirror Master?
Superman
We have to go to Lexcorp, we have no way of tracking Mannheim. He's been off the grid since Ground Zero. It was shocked seeing him at the museum.

Lex smirks and gets out of his seat. He looks Mirror Master up and down.
Lex Luthor
I don't give into demands. And you made a big mistake coming here. No one steals from Lex Luthor and lives to tell about it.
Mirror Master
Quit with the idle threats. You want the Fragment? Tell you what I'll give you it for a price of say…twenty thousand dollars.
Lex Luthor
(smiles)You must be joking. Well you are dressed up like an idiot. How about you give me the Fragment, and I let you walk out of here.
Pan to another Mirror Master standing behind Lex.
Mirror Master
Such big talk for a rich prick. And I think you should reconsider my offer.
Lex takes out a gun.
Lex Luthor
I don't think so.
He shoots him but it was a mirror image. It fades. Then the real Mirror Master grabs his shoulder to turn him around. He punches Lex out cold. Pan to the window as Superman crashes through.
Superman
I guess my hunch was right. Where is Lois?
Mirror Master
Who?
Superman
The woman who followed you into your Mirror Universe.
Mirror Master
Oh. That woman. She's safe for now. But my business doesn't concern you.
The Flash
It does now.
Pan to Flash appearing in a blur and then stopping next to Superman.
The Flash
The jig is up Mirror Master. You're going back to the box like the rest of the times.
Superman notices Flash has donut smudge on his face.
Superman
Flash.
Superman signals him to whip his face.
The Flash
Oh. Sorry about that.
Mirror Master(rolls his eyes)
How you're Central City's hero is beyond me.
The Flash
You know better not to underestimate me. Now give back what you've stolen and release Lois Lane.
Mirror Master
Sorry. I have moves to make and money to obtain.
Mirror Master points his gun at a window. He fires. Superman torpedo's towards it.
The Flash
Superman! Wait! You don't know
The Flash super speeds after them into the Mirror.

Perry White
Still no word?
Jimmy Olsen
No and they should have been back by now chief. I hope Lois is doing anything irrational.
Perry White
Lois is one tough cookie. Plus she has Clark with her. Her and Clark we'll be coming in any minute now. No doubt Lois will come in making a ruckus and with the front page story. Trust me kid, Lois and Clark always deliver.
Jimmy Olsen(reassured)
Right chief.
CUT TO:
INT-MIRROR UNIVERSE
We see Superman and the Flash in the Mirror Universe. They look around. Superman goes through a mirror only to come back through another one. He's now above the Flash. He looks to him.
Superman
What is this place?
The Flash
This is Mirror Master's Universe. This is the Mirror Universe. I tried to warn you. This place is infinite.
Superman
We find Lois, and then we get out of here.
The Flash
It won't be easy, we need Mirror Master's ray gun to get out. it's the only way, Mirror Master got us trapped.
Superman
We get that ray gun, Lois and things he's stolen. We stop Mirror Master here and now.
The Flash
I'm with you amigo.
Pan to Mirror Master holding Lois Lane. His arm wrapped around her throat.
Mirror Master
You two were fools for following me in here.
Superman
Let her go Mirror Master!
The Flash
It's over!
Lois Lane
Yeah so ease up on my neck.
Mirror Master
You're right Flash it is over now you two are trapped in here forever. Only I hold the key to getting out.
Superman
You're only making it harder for yourself. It's not too late to do the right thing.
Mirror Master
God you really are the boy scout. Sorry but I'm a bad guy and I like it. Now if you excuse me. We have places to go.
The Flash
You're not getting away this time Mirror Master.
Mirror Master
Really and how exactly are you going to stop me. If you don't know-
He creates mirror images of himself holding Lois.
Mirror Master(CONT'D)

Clark Kent
Perry White
Either way, I'm proud of you two guys. Mirror Master's back in jail thanks to Superman and that Flash character.
Jimmy Olsen
Its kind of awesome having these heroes around. But no one beats Superman.
Barry Allen
I don't know, I think Flash can give him a run for his money. He is the fastest man alive.
Pan to Barry approaching them.
Lois Lane
Well if isn't Smallville's amigo. So I take you're headed back to Central City.
Barry Allen
Yeah. Going back home. Metropolis is nice but nothing beats the Central City air.
They smile at him. Jimmy and Perry walk off.
Lois Lane
I'm sure Central City's missing their hero. (Barry gives her a look)Flash that is. Now that Mirror Master's been defeated he'll be going back.
Barry nods but eyes her quizzically.
Barry Allen
Glad you're okay Lois. Some one needs to keep Clark on his toes.
Lois gets up and punches him playfully on the shoulder.
Lois Lane
Well some one has to. Smallville will be lost in the big city without me his tour guide.
Clark rolls his eyes.
Clark Kent

Clark smiles at her and she smiles back. Both forgetting Barry was there. He clears his throat.
Barry Allen
And that's my cue.
Barry walks off. Clark then follows him to the elevator.
Clark Kent
Leaving without saying good-bye.
Barry Allen
Seemed you had your hands full. She is special Clark, so don't mess it up.
Clark Kent
I won't.
Barry Allen
Tell her who you truly are. When I finally told Iris. It felt like a burden has been lifted. It's always nice to come home to someone you love.
Clark Kent
I've been thinking about it. She's been very accepting of my excuses. No matter how bizarre they sound.
Barry Allen
That should tell you something.
Clark Kent
You've really matured a lot Bart.
Barry Allen
We all have to grow up sometimes. Can't be a kid forever. (walks into the Elevator) Oh and you should really consider about joining the JLA. We could really use you.
Clark Kent
I'll think about it. But I'm where I need to be. Metropolis.
Barry nods.
Barry Allen
See you in a Flash, amigo.
Clark smiles and nods. The elevator closes. Clark turns and looks to Lois who is smirking at him.
CUE IN NICKELBACK SOMEDAY
He walks over to her confidently ready to tell her.
Clark Kent
Lois…I
Lois Lane
What do you feel like having for lunch? I thought Chinese take-out but how many times do we have to eat that a day.
Clark sighs, and smiles.
Clark Kent
You do love their egg rolls Lois.
Lois Lane
That I do. You wanted to tell me something.
She looks anticipating his response. Clark looks at her passionately but doesn't tell her.
Clark Kent
You said Superman said the Fragment was a fake, so where's the real one?
Lois looks at him knowing that's not he wanted to say but doesn't push it.
Lois Lane
Don't know. I'm pretty sure a mystical Fragment of immortality doesn't exist. So Chinese take-out it is.
Clark Kent
I don't Lois, I mean we've seen aliens, demons, and killer robots, what's to say that it doesn't exist.
Lois Lane
Well if it does Smallville, let's just hope it doesn't fall into the wrongs hands.
Cut off on them walking to the elevator.
CUT TO:
INT-LEXCORP LAB
We see Scientist looking over the Fragment. Lex is standing next to him.
Scientist
It seems Superman was right Mr. Luthor. This Fragment is a fake. Nothing but a worthless regular rock. It looks like its been painted over.
Lex Luthor(upset)(to his assistant)
Get in touch with Mr. Sanchez. And when you do give him a thank you present that he won't forget.
Assistant
Yes Mr. Luthor. But if the Fragment is a fake, where is the real one? Does it exist.
Lex Luthor
It exists, and I will find it. Even if I search the entire globe.
Cut off on Lex. The song ends.
