Chapter Two - Here it goes
'Zoners'
"Where am I, what happened? Lois" asked Clark, waking up disorientated on a landmass
A triad of cloaked figures walked over to him.
"Who are you?" he questioned, his hair blowing in the mist
"We are the Tribunal of Sin. "
Clark stood in awe, dumbfounded.
"Welcome to the Phantom Zone Kal-El. He is the one who brought you here." They pointed to a small tent.
SUPERVILLE
"I'm sorry Mr. Luthor but we looked over tests and we have no way to recover your full memories," the head scientist informed him
"I'm sorry; I thought I'd paid for results. Oh wait, I did!" snapped Lex, breathing deeply and taking a sip of cucumber water. "What is the situation regarding the Blur, wait, what do they call him now, the Super-Man?" Lex spat that last word out sullenly
"Why do you care if someone is saving people."
"Think about how powerful he is for a second. What happens when he gets tired of saving the world for the nine-millionth time."
There was a pause
"There's something else, the neurotoxin seems to continue to affect your brain in a way that is unprecented."
"What do you mean?" Lex took another sip of water.
And in the heart of Metropolis, it was an ordinary workday at the Daily Planet
...
"What do you think?" said Jimmy Olsen, showing the City Editor, Randall Brady, and Lois Lane, his photos of Superman
"You don't give up, do you Olsen?" replied Rand Brady
"I'm naturally dedicated."
"You're a high school who has no experience, and you annoy me. Alot!" Rand showed Jimmy to the door.
"You just got rid of the best photographer I've seen since, well-"
"That's my decision. I suggest you go back to your desk Lane."
Back in the Phantom Zone, the Mutie Gang attacked Clark, protecting the tent
"Pathetic," sighed Non, another prisoner
Clark took a deep breath and fought back, knocking them unconscious
"I Am Titanium. I am the Man of Steel. No matter my circumstance, super-powers or not, my fighting power will remain formidable; do not underestimate me."
...
Lois Lane walked through the hall. Having won an award for her latest headlining article, she was on the fast track to becoming a legend
Glancing at a TV, she saw a news story detailing Lex Luthor's run for Mayor. "Hmmm," said Lois, making her way into her office to get her evening coffee before going back to her apartment, but found something a little more pleasant
"Hello-Miss Lane" said Clark Kent...
"Smallville?"
A/N, I had to re-upload this chapter, and I edited it quite a bit
Well, that's the end of episode 2. I decided to leave it at a cliffhanger with Clark returning in order to make way for possible future storylines in the Zone.
