Clark finished typing his latest story. So far for him his world was perfect. He had two perfect children and a third on the way. He was married to the most perfect wife and crime was down. Oliver, John, and Carter had told him that they were relieved as well that the criminals seemed to be taking a holiday.
Clark looked at his watch. Lunchtime. Maybe he could talk Lois into going on a lunch break with him. Usually their lunch breaks ran at separate times. She was usually on her lunch break while he was out as Superman and he was on his while she was working on a story.
Clark looked up at Jimmy Olsen. Jimmy was the brother of Chloe's last husband. In honor of his brother the boy had taken Jimmy's name as his. "Jimmy, where's Lois?" Clark asked. A guilty look entered the boy's eyes. It made him think of what Jon looked like when he was trying to hide something.
Jimmy looked up at Clark through his glasses. He had dreaded telling CK about where Lois was and knew he wouldn't approve of it. Course, Lois often went on stakeouts and came back unharmed. But she was pregnant again this time and that would just make Clark worry more about her. "She told me that she was out CK. And she didn't want me to give out any more deal other than that."
Lois sat behind a gravestone marker that was big enough to hide her from view. She listened in on Lex talking to his men. She was nearby hopefully hidden well to not be seen.
Lex appeared to be in a discussion with what looked like Doctors or Scientists. "I want you to create a special virus that will make a bunch of people sick. I will pay you each a million dollars if the virus is successful." Lex caught movement of Lois behind the marker and went over to her dragging her out of it. "Lois Lane. I figured you were spying on me for some reason. I thought you died on that cross when I nearly had you crucified? I thought you learned your lesson from being nosy then".
Lois smirked at him. "Looks like I have a Guardian Angel watching over me Lex. And anytime I'm in trouble, he's always there to save me. And the main reason why I was snooping, I knew you were up to no good. I just wanted to do a story on you and what you have been up to lately. "
Lex said in a huff. "If you wanted an interview, you could have come by the Mansion. Or a phone call would be more polite. How much of our conversation did you hear?"
Lois just looked at him "All of it actually. Why do you want to wipe out the entire Metropolis area?" she asked.
Lex looked at his friends and chuckled. They laughed to. "I not only want to wipe out Metropolis, Lois. I want to destroy the world. I want to be President". then he turned to her "Since you know too much, I can't let you go". he dragged her into the nearby limo.
Jimmy's reason sounded funny. What pregnant woman went out to get a story? Of course Clark had just found out that Lex Luthor was back and considering that he knew Clark, Oliver, and Chloe were Superman, Green Arrow, and Watchtower he had been keeping a special eye on his family and friends.
He had almost thought that Lex would try to kidnap the twins when they were born, but so far he hadn't tried to kidnap the twins. There was that false alarm years ago when they thought he had stolen Ashley, but after finding out that Rick Forbes was responsible Clark had breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe Lex still had some good. He wouldn't attack children.
But maybe it would be a good idea to fly around and look for Lois. He would talk Linda and Carter into helping him since Linda had just learned how to fly and Carter was Hawkman. Chloe, Oliver, and Ashley could also help. If Lois didn't come back in an hour he'd start looking.
Lois was becoming scared. Where was Lex Luthor taking her? Maybe spying on him hadn't been the hottest idea. But she was a reporter, and her job was to be nosy to some instinct. Wasn't it? I mean how often do you find men in a graveyard discussing a strange deal of some kind? She kept thinking. The Limo pulled up the Luthor Mansion and two men grabbed her and dragged her out. Lois struggled. "Where should we put her, Boss?'' one of them asked.
Lex looked at Lois thoughtfully. "Put her in the big refrigerator in the Kitchen. Then I can figure out what else we can do with her". Lex figured Lois wouldn't bother him if she was locked in somewhere.
"What? No! Lex you can't do that! I'm pregnant!" she shouted it.
Lex Luthor turned around and looked. "Pregnant again? It seems like every other year or so you and him are having kids.". then he thought some more. What better way of getting back at Clark than putting wife, and unborn child at risk? "Put her in their anyway. I can't have her ruining our plans". he waved her off like she was nothing.
"Your going to regret this Lex!" Lois shouted as the men dragged her off towards the Kitchen. "Clark will know that I'm missing!"
Lex laughed. "Let's just see how long he finds out that you are Lois".
When she was thrown into the fridge, the door locked in front of her. "Nooooo! Please don't do this!" she cried out desperately If only she had her purse with her she would have her cell phone so she could call Clark. But how was he suppose to know where she was? Lois began pounding on the door "Help meeeeee!" she yelled. "I need to get out of here!" maybe if she yelled loud enough, Clark would be able to hear her. She didn't know exactly how far Clark could hear, but she hoped he could hear close enough.
