Chapter One-Here it goes

'Strength'

Smallville Bay, 3 weeks ago….

"This fishing trip is great, don't you think," said a fisherman, admiring the beautiful day

"But there are no fish," said another fisherman

"It's not about the fish," said the first man. "It's about the fishing. It's a sacred art only truly understood by very few people."

From out of nowhere, a grotesque, giant, fish like monster with tentacle like appendages appeared and attacked the fishermen, flinging one of them into the Smallville Dam.

A caped hero with a stylized letter S patterned on his chest flew to the rescue, pulling the first fisherman out of the dam and carrying them both to safety before using heat vision to stop them monster

"Amazing," the second fisherman whispered under his breath.

SUPERVILLE

It was a winter morning at the Daily Planet, one of the city's oldest and most respected newspapers, and the buzz of business was booming

"Booster was right about one thing," noted Lois Lane. "The Blur, it just doesn't cut it!"

"What have you got in mind?" questioned Clark

Lois sighed. "I've got nothing yet. But it has to be something-super!"

"Captain Marvelous!" suggested Clark. "Or we could call me 'Mister Terrific' or 'Power Man!'"

Lois glanced awkwardly. "Weren't any of those good?" asked Clark

Lois looked up, shaking her head slightly and sighing before changing her expression completely in an attempt to change the subject. "Let's go get some lunch."


Chloe walked up to Lana and asked why she was visiting

"Can't someone just come and say hi?"

"Well, you ran away mysteriously three years ago and kind of vanished so no, not really"


The next day, at the planet, Jeff the intern called out, "Miss Lane, seven calls from the Daily Star, confirmation on your flight to Paris, bouquet of flowers from the British Prime Minister and Clark was at the deli, he wanted to know if you want pastrami or roast chicken."

Lois huffed and handed back a bouquet of flowers to Jeff, "Clark would forget his head if it wasn't attached to his necktie," she said as she made her way to the elevator.

He stepped aside in the elevator and handed Lois a newspaper. Lois stared at the empty desk when she heard a man yell, "News plane lost power! It's heading straight for the Daily Planet!"

Lois walked to her partner's desk only to hear a whoosh and notice his glasses on the table and the chair spinning. Lois turned her head to watch a reporter running for the exit.

On the desk there was a newspaper headline 'Man of Steel Saves the Day!'

"Man of Steel?" thought Lois.

A man beside her yelled, "Look, up at the sky!" Lois gave a discreet smile as she watched a red blur streak across the window.

"Incredible," she said, smiling and making her way to her desk

Suddenly the doomed news plane changed course. Lois could see the Man of Steel carry off the plane to safety. The employees of The Daily Planet cheered as everyone's hero saved the day once again.

As everyone went back to work Lois heard whoosh and a voice behind her asked, "Hey, what did I miss?"
