The next morning, Lana woke up earlier than usual and looked over at her computer. There was a message from SuperDude.
SuperDude: Wow, I didn't know you got up so early.
Lana had forgotten to sign off, but she was up now, so she trotted over to her computer and plopped down in her chair.
Tom'sAngel: I guess I will be today. LOL.
SuperDude: Did I wake you up? I'm sorry.
Tom'sAngel: It's okay. It's not a bad way to wake up.
SuperDude: I just wanted to say hi! I never get to say good morning to you, so, since you obviously forgot to sign off, I thought I would say it.
Tom'sAngel: How thoughtful of you. Why are you up so early?
SuperDude: I had some things to get done this morning before class.
Tom'sAngel: Oh. Well, I have a little while before my first class, so when do your classes start today?
SuperDude: My first one is in 2 hours.
Tom'sAngel: So I guess you don't have to rush off somewhere, so you can stay and chat.
SuperDude: I guess you would be correct.
Lana heard Mollie scream in the next room. Lana quickly ran over to see a man trying to break through the window. He had a gun in one hand and a knife in the other.
"Open the window girly!" He yelled brutally.
"Lana! Help!"
"Don't move now, or I will shoot her." The man said to Lana. Clearly he wasn't too smart, or he would have just shot through the window, but he still had a gun.
"Now, I'm going to ask you nicely once more, open the window." The man said even more forcefully than last time.
Mollie was crying and Lana was trying her hardest not to join her. The man sighed before shooting through the window. The glass shattered and he quickly climbed in.
Mollie screamed again, this time yelling "Superman!" between sobs.
Minutes later, Superman flew through the window behind the armed man and took his gun from behind.
"What the-"He was stopped when a heavy fist landed on his head and he passed out on the ground. Lana just looked at the man before her while Mollie was still huddled in a corner. She looked up to see Superman there and instantly fainted.
"Is everything alright?" He asked Lana.
"I... I don't know. That guy was just standing outside her window... and he shot through and climbed in." She said, stumbling through her explanation.
"Was she shot?" He asked quickly.
"No. He hit the closet door. She just... I guess she was shocked to see you." Lana laughed a little to try to lighten the mood.
"Did I scare her?" Lana noticed he didn't seem to be in a hurry like he was last time.
"Oh, no. She is... a big fan." Lana said while going over to her friend and checking quickly for a pulse. She was fine.
"I see." He said while laughing.
"What about you? Not a fan?"
"Well... I... I mean... well..." Lana stuttered.
"It's okay. Not everyone has to like me. It's refreshing really. Nice to know that there is at least one person that doesn't think I'm so great." He said while laughing.
"It's not that I don't like you or anything." Lana tried to explain.
"No, you are entitled to your opinion." He said before looking back out the window.
"I really need to get going, this guy needs to spend a little time behind bars. Nice meeting you..."
"Lana. You too Superman." Lana finished.
"Thank you for your help the other night Lana." He said before flashing her a magnificent smile and flying out the window. Lana smiled and looked back over at her friend who was still out cold. She sighed and picked her up with some difficulty and put her in her bed.
"There you go." Lana said to herself before going out of Mollie's room and into her own. She was thinking about how she was going to pay to replace the window when a knock came at the door.
Lana answered it to find a man standing there with a clipboard in hand.
"I was informed that there was a window here that needed fixing." He said.
"Well... yes actually. I can't afford a replacement right now though.
"No need, Superman requested it, I told him that it was on the house." The man said while coming inside and assessing the damage. He took some measurements and then made his leave.
"Should be ready in a few days. I will drop it off personally when it is done." He said. Lana thanked him profusely and he just nodded and accepted gracefully.
"That isn't a problem ma'am." He said before shutting the door on his way out. Lana smiled to herself and went back into her room.
The last message from SuperDude was him making another mysterious getaway even though he said he didn't have class for two hours.
'Where do you go?' She thought.
