Later at Lois' apartment, Clark arrived with Chinese food.

"Hi Lois!"" Clark said with an innocent smile. "I brought you Chinese food."

"Clark, where have you been all day and why didn't you answer my calls?" Lois asked annoyed as she let Clark enter her apartment.

"Sorry, Lois… I was…. stuck in traffic downtown," Clark said the first thing that came to his mind.

"All day?" Lois inquired still suspicious of him.

"Yeah," he nodded.

"Well, it must be because of all the re-building, right?" Clark nodded again. "Did you talk to him?"

"Who?"

"Earth to Clark! Are you there?" Lois snapped at him annoyed. "Superman, of course."

"Oh… Yes. I interviewed him and Flash while they were fixing some buildings downtown. It will take a while but with their help it won't take as long as it normally would."

"That's great. Now let's eat. I'm starving," Lois said pulling him by his tie.

The week passed so fast that Saturday was there in to time at all. The race was scheduled to start at 9am in front of the Daily Planet building. Lois arrived early along with Jimmy who was taking pictures.

Linda Park was also there with her TV crew filming a segment for her network in Central City.

Several members of the Justice League were also present at the event like Batman, Wonder Woman, Shayera, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Black Canary and The Question who brought Huntress with him.

"I can bet this isn't going to end well," Question said frustrated.

"And why do you say that, Q?" Huntress asked intrigued.

"The last time they did this there was a natural disaster, what can happen this time? The end of the world? And then… caboom! Armageddon!"

Huntress pulled him to her and gave him a soft and passionate kiss. "Stop asking so many questions."

"I'll shut up," he replied smiling goofily.

"Do you have to do that in public?" Black Canary snapped at them. "There are innocent children in the area."

"Bite me, Canary!" Huntress snapped back at her.

"Take it easy!" Green Arrow interrupted them. Turning to the other he said, "Bat checked the whole thing several times. Everything's going to be fine this time."

"You really think so?" Question asked skeptically.

"Forget Ollie," Black Canary responded. "Once a conspiracy theorist, always a conspiracy theorist."

"So, are you ready?" Batman asked Superman and Flash. He was between them holding a gun. "Jo'hn will monitor the whole thing from the Watch Tower."

"Yes, we're ready," Superman, answered with a smile as he noticed Lois looking at him from the audience.

"Good. On your mark…" Superman and Flash got ready to run. "Get set…Go!" he shot the gun up into the sky as Superman and Flash raced off.

Batman teleported back to the Watch Tower where Jo'hn was monitoring the race with Vixen by his side.

"So, is everything going okay?" Batman asked worriedly.

"So far. I have not sensed anything strange yet," the Martian answered still looking at the monitor.

"Good. Diana, how are things in Paris?" Batman spoke into his communication device.

In Paris, Wonder Woman was flying over head watching Superman and Flash racing.

"Good, Bruce. They just left. I think they'll be in Africa in a few minutes… or seconds."

Two minutes later in Africa, Green Lantern was flying in the sky when Superman and Flash ran off leaving the country.

"They just left," he informed them via his communication device. "Shayera, are you ready?"

Shayera was flying in the Mexican skies waiting for them. "Yes, Jo'hn. They will be here in 5 seconds. 4…3…2…1…. here they are!" she smiled as they kept running. "Fire, are you ready?"

"Yes, I am," Fire answered from the Brazilian skies on Rio de Janeiro. "I think they'll be here really soon." She put her hand over her eyes to take cover from the sun as she finally saw them. "They're here!"

"Good!" Batman said from the Watch Tower. "Their next stop will be Gotham City. I have that part covered too. Batgirl, are you ready?"

In Gotham City, Batgirl was with Nightwing and Robin waiting on a rooftop with binoculars. "Loud and clear, boss!"

"Tell me when they've left!"

"Here!" Robin suddenly screamed using his night vision binocular. "They're coming!"

"You mean, they're gone!" Nightwing pointed out.

"Did you hear that?" Batgirl asked Batman.

"Yeah, that means they will be in Metropolis in a few minutes. I'll talk to you later."

Back in Metropolis, Lois and Linda were looking at their watches when they noticed a large cloud of dust coming from far away.

"They're here!" Lois screamed. "Jimmy get ready!"

"I'm always prepared, Lois!" Jimmy reminded her as he began taking pictures. Superman and Flash seemed to arrive at the finish line out of nowhere.

"Did you see who won?" Linda asked confused.

"No, they were too fast," Lois said frustrated. "But lucky for us we have thousands of TV cameras here."

"Plus the Justice League was monitoring everything," Superman reminded her.

"Oh Yeah," Lois smiled at him. "So, who won?"

"Batman, we need an answer now," Superman asked him from his communication device.

"Sorry Superman but Flash is still the fastest man alive!" Batman revealed as Flash smirked at Superman and Lois.

"I told you. I'm the fastest man alive!" Flash said with a mischievous smile.
