Chapter 23: Daily Planet
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Now many of you have been asking when I do the first Superhero Girls movie and I'm almost there. Just a few more chapters. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
It was a bright and sunny day in Metropolis as Lois, MJ and Jaden were walking to Daily Planet the local news station of Metropolis.
"I can't believe we actually got an interview with one of the reporters here. How'd you do it Lois?" MJ asks.
"It took weeks of finding someone who would give us a chance until I finally found one." Lois said before turning around to see Jaden carrying their camera. "Thanks again for coming on such short notice."
"You girls really need to find a cameraman who's willing to stay aboard." Jaden said.
"We're trying tiger, but that's easier said than done." MJ giggles.
"Besides, it gives me an excuse to hang out with you." Lois said wrapping her arms around him causing MJ to glare.
"Uh Lois, we have a meeting." MJ said tapping her watch for emphasis.
"Right, right." Lois said as they walked inside to see a man with black hair and glasses, this was Clark Kent.
"Hello there." Clark smiles walking up to them.
"Mr. Kent thanks again for doing this for us." MJ said.
"Oh please, there's no need to be so formal call me Clark." He chuckles.
"Hello Clark, my name is Lois Lane this is my co-reporter Mary Jane Watson and our cameraman Jaden Cooper." Lois introduces.
"Pleasure to meet you all." Clark smiles. "You came here at an interesting time, we got a new Chief." Clark said leading them to the elevator. "Tell me do you two plan to be reporters?"
"Oh yes sir. We want to be the official reporters for all things superhero." Lois said.
"Well that's quite a goal. What about you Jaden? You've been silent." Clark said turning to him.
"I'm not really into this whole news stuff. I'm just here to support these two." Jaden said gesturing to the camera.
"Nothing wrong with that. It just shows Chivalry is not dead girls." Clark said as the two girls giggle.
As they arrive at Clark's floor, they saw so many reporters typing stories, looking at interviews and creating the paper for the next day.
"Wow." Lois and MJ said in awe.
"Pretty neat huh?" Clark said when a woman walks up to them.
"Clark, the new Chief wants to see you in his office." She said.
As the four of them walk inside they saw a man with brown hair, a mustache and a suit. This was J. Jonah Jameson. "Kent, I don't recall this newsroom being a playground." He said pointing to Jaden, Lois and MJ.
"These are the rookie reporters I told you about sir, I invited them in today so they could see how we do things here in hopes they'll want to work for us." Clark said.
"Aw playing the cards early. Not bad Kent, but I want to talk to you about this column you wrote for the Superhero section." Jameson said showing a picture of students of Super Hero High battling the Rhino. "What is he doing on the front page?" He asks pointing to Spider-Man.
"Who Spider-Man? What's wrong with that? He was part of the team that saved the city from the Rhino when he broke out of prison." Clark said.
"Yeah he's one of Super Hero High's best." Lois said.
"We were recording when he saved the school from the Sinister 6, he's an amazing hero." MJ said causing Jaden to smile hearing that.
"He's not a hero, he's a public menace." Jameson said instantly causing Jaden's smile to go away.
"But sir, he's got lots of potential, don't forget he also stopped a train robbery that same night and saved all the people on board." Clark said.
"From something he probably started. Something goes wrong and this webhead shows up. This town already has one hero and that's Superman." Jameson said.
"He's trying to be a hero! What's wrong with that?" MJ asks.
"Yeah in case you've forgotten we have a whole school of heroes training here. Why are you going after Spider-Man?" Lois asks.
"I don't have to answer to you woman, you're not the Chief I am. Now get out before I have security escort you out!" Jameson said.
"Come on kids." Clark said leading them out.
"What a jerk. I can't believe you guys have to work for him." Lois said.
"I never said working in the news business was easy." Clark sighs.
"What's he got against Spider-Man?" Jaden asks.
"It's because Spider-Man didn't start off in the program like all the other heroes, he thinks Spider-Man is a vigilante, a criminal." Clark sighs.
'Great just what I need, a newspaper editor who hates me.' Jaden thought when suddenly Clark patted him on the back.
"Hey don't let him get to you kids, that's just one person." Clark smiles.
"Yeah, Spider-Man can handle J. Jonah Jerkface." Jaden smirks causing them all to laugh.
"I don't suppose I can use that around here?" Clark asks.
"By all means." Jaden chuckles.
"So shall we begin the interview?" Clark offers much to the girls' excitement.
"Jaden get the camera ready." Lois said.
A few hours later, after their interview with Clark the three of them went to Stan's Food Shack for lunch.
"Well aside from meeting Jameson this day was pretty successful." Lois said sipping her soda.
"So you girls still plan to be reporters there?" Jaden asks.
"Oh definitely. And the first thing we're gonna do is change his opinion on Spider-Man." MJ said causing Jaden to smile.
"Spider-Man huh?" Stan said walking over and giving them their food. "That kid's got serious potential. He good be Amazing, Spectacular, maybe even Ultimate."
"Ultimate Spider-Man? Sounds interesting." MJ said as Stan walks away when suddenly they heard an explosion go off in the distance.
"What the? What was that?" Jaden asks.
"I'll tell you what it is. A new scoop." Lois said as she and MJ ran out of the restaurant. Jaden lays down the money for the food and runs off.
"Kids these days, always in a rush." Stan chuckles.
At the storage facility for Wayne Industries a large group of men were trying to steal the latest tech created by Bruce Wayne. The attack was led by a tall man with a bald head and a suit. This was Lex Luthor, CEO of LEXCORP and enemy of Superman.
"Take it all boys. Bruce Wayne refuses to share his tech with my company, but you should all know I don't take no for an answer." Lex said.
"Wow you must be so popular with the ladies." A voice said as webs shot down tying up some of Luthor's men.
Looking around he saw Spider-Man land in front of the Wayne Industries cases.
"So you're Lex Luthor? Funny I thought you'd be taller." Spider-Man said.
"And you must be Spider-Man, funny I thought you'd be smarter than to get in my way." Lex said.
"Smart enough to know how to stop you." Spider-Man said as Luthor's men charged at him while Luthor ran into the back of a truck.
At the Daily Planet, Clark heard the battle and turned in the direction of the battle.
"I'm clocking out." Clark said as he left the building.
Back with Spider-Man, Lois and MJ arrive just in time to record him fighting off Luthor's men.
"This is Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson here, apparently Lex Luthor was caught trying to steal Wayne Industries newest invention." Lois explains.
"But I guess they didn't count on our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man dropping in." MJ said.
As he was dodging gun fire before shooting webs making all of Luthor's men fall to the ground before moving towards the truck.
"Alright Luthor give it up." Spider-Man said when the truck opens to reveal Luthor in a green armored super suit. "Uh oh."
Luthor activates his rocket shoes and rams into Spider-Man knocking him into a truck. Dropping to the ground he held his sides in pain.
"You think just because you beat a few nobody villains you can take on the big leagues? You're about to learn a lesson the hard way kid." Luthor said charging towards Spider-Man.
Rolling out of the way Spider-Man jumps over Luthor but at the last second Luthor grabs his leg and slams him to the ground before throwing him across the room sending him smashing into some crates.
Picking himself up Spider-Man fires two webs at the ceiling and swings in towards Luthor kicking him in the face.
"How's that for a kid?" Spider-Man taunts.
Growling Luthor stands up as Spider-Man fires a web at him but Luthor sidesteps and grabs the web yanking Spider-Man in and grabbing him by the neck before slamming him to the ground.
Luthor pulls back his fist to deliver a powerful punch, but just as he was about to attack a hand stops him.
"Picking on kids? That's low even for you Luthor." Luthor, Spider-Man, Lois and MJ look in surprise to see Spider-Man was saved by Superman.
"Superman?" Spider-Man asks as he turns around and smiles.
"Been awhile kid, sorry to horn in on your fight, but you looked like you could use a hand." Superman said.
"Yeah that'd be great." Spider-Man said as Superman pushes Luthor backwards and offers Spider-Man a hand.
"No way. A team up of Superman and Spider-Man? Now this is newsworthy." Lois said excited.
"I can't believe Jaden is missing this." MJ said.
Taking his hand Superman helps him up. "Alright I know you're used to being on the attack, but this time you're going to give me support." Superman said.
"What should I do?" Spider-Man asks.
"Keep your distance and web him up. I'll take care of the rest." Superman said as Luthor activates his rocket shoes and flies towards them.
"Let's do this!" Spider-Man said firing a web and swinging out of the way as Superman stands his ground and takes the charge head on before stopping Luthor in his tracks.
"I've been wanting to do this for a long time." Luthor said as he punched Superman in the face causing him to step backwards. As Luthor delivers punch after punch Superman holds up his hands blocking them.
"You forget about me baldylockes?" Spider-Man asks tying up Luthor in his webs. "Hey what's ugly, annoying and webbed all over?"
"Easy Luthor!" Superman said punching Luthor in his chest shattering part of his armor. "Good work kid, keep it up." Superman nods.
Breaking out of the webs Luthor activates a rocket launcher and fires missiles at them. Flying and swinging out of the way the missiles create giant holes in the warehouse causing a large piece of rubble to fall towards Lois and MJ.
"Lookout!" Swinging in Spider-Man grabs the two girls and pulls them to safety. "Get outside, it's not safe in here."
Both girls nod as they ran out before the warehouse came down on them.
Heading back in Spider-Man saw Superman and Luthor in a lock as they tried to push the other back.
Looking at the situation Spider-Man tried to find a way to stop it when he notices Luthor's chest logo was glowing. 'That must be how he powers the suit.' Spider-Man thought before firing two webs to have them act as a slingshot as he steps backwards.
"Superman move now!" He yells as he flings himself at them and grew his stingers.
Seeing Spider-Man fly towards them Superman ducks as Spider-Man stabs Luthor's suit destroying the power source.
Luthor tries to move his suit but failed as he remained trapped in his own invention.
As he was being escorted away Spider-Man looks to Superman.
"So how long do you think he'll be in jail for?" Spider-Man asks.
"Not long, with his money Luthor will be out in no time." Superman sighs.
"Man." He sighs.
"You know, you've come a long way since we first met." Superman smiles.
"Wait, you remember me?" Spider-Man asks.
"Of course I do, I even saw when you saved the school from being destroyed. Keep it up Spider-Man and you'll be going far." Superman said before flying off into the air.
"Wow, Superman thinks I have potential." Spider-Man said in awe.
In the town of Smallville, Clark arrives at his house where he was greeted by John and Martha Kent.
"Clark you made it." Martha smiles hugging him.
"It's great to see you all." Clark said walking in when he noticed a teenage girl with long blonde hair, this was Kara or Supergirl, his cousin. "Hi Kara."
"So what kept you?" Kara asks setting the table for dinner.
"I was helping an old face. You might like him Kara, he's quite the hero. His name's Spider-Man." Clark said sitting down.
"Spider-Man? Gross I hate spiders." Kara said.
"Well he doesn't look like a spider it's just a suit. I bet if you met him, you'd really like him." Clark took out his phone and showed Kara the video Lois and MJ took of Spider-Man and Superman defeating Lex Luthor and instantly Kara's mood changed.
'Wow, he's good. I wonder what he looks like under that mask.' Kara thought as she started browsing through more of Spider-Man's fights and a blush appeared on her face.
'Looks like Spidey's got himself a new fan.' Clark smirks.
