CHAPTER 2: "Coming Down"
Lois was walking down the dark streets of Metropolis. She was several blocks away from the phone booth. After she had realized who the Blur was, she felt the need for a walk. Needed to let it all sink in and allow herself to see how blind she had been for so many years. All of the clues she had gotten and she had not pieced them together?
No, it wasn't that she had always been blind. Thinking about it, she knew she had always known. Deep inside her, even after the events last winter had led her to believe that the Blur was in fact Clark but she had been proven "wrong," she knew. Knew that both of these men that were important in her life were one and the same. She had just talked herself into thinking that she was wrong and did her best not to bring up such a speculation again.
If she were really being truthful to herself, she would acknowledge that the reason why she dismissed the idea that Clark was in fact the Blur was because she wished it wasn't him. Clark was the best person she had ever come to know and the responsibility the Blur held over his shoulders was too much. His life was full of danger. And danger was the one thing Lois wanted as far away from Clark as possible. She didn't know what she would do if anything bad were ever to happen to him.
A knot caught in Lois' throat as an image of Clark being badly wounded came to her head. She tried brushing it away and kept walking, trying to clear her head.
As she turned into the next street, a bright yellow light caught her attention from the rooftop of several buildings away. She turned her entire attention to it. What the hell?
Within seconds there were more yellow lights ascending into the heavens. Inside the yellow lights there were black figures. Are those people? What is this? The aliens?
Lois was too baffled by it all to give any reaction. She stood frozen there, staring up for quite a while. The dozens of other yellow lights stopped, but the big one was still there. This only furthered to continue to confuse Lois, but she was able to snap out of it. The reporter in her kicked in and she began to run towards the building. She ran as carefully as she could, not wanting to slip and fall in this rain.
Once she got to the building, she saw another yellow light beam down, taking another black figure up to the heavens. Rain continued to fall down and it was difficult to get a clear view of what was happening.
It took several seconds to notice a black figure start coming down. Falling. Oh, God. It's a man!
She looked around, not knowing what to do. This man was going to meet the end of life if someone didn't save him. Where's Clark? The Blur!
The man was now about fifty feet from kissing pavement. She held her breath, giving a silent prayer that someone would rescue the man.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a gold figure. It had come so swiftly, she had almost missed it. Next she knew was that this gold figure caught the falling man. The gold figure, who was really a man with gold wings, didn't seem to notice Lois. He came flying down to the ground, the falling man in his arms.
Lois cringed once she saw a dagger pierced through the man's stomach. She let her eyes linger over his body. He seemed to be shaking uncontrollably. The blood coming out was too much! Her eyes finally landed on the man's face. She saw him. Saw who it was that was battered and at the heels dying. Oh, God! NO!
