ELSEWORLDS - To Protect and Serve
by Tank Wilson
I'm new to this discussion so I don't know what's been used or not. Sorry if it has. I don't know how to put the quote thingy in.
"Lois sat backstage in her borrowed gown dreading to go on
stage. She wasn't nervous, that had been overridden by the
dread of having to sing to Superman. Had she been tapped to
do this a couple of months ago, she would have been thrilled,
and most likely would be having the same feeling in the pit of
her stomach that she was experiencing now, but in a good way.
Now it was just a feeling of wanting to get it over with, and
survive the experience.
When the charity ball committee had asked her to sing, she
had accepted and had been flattered, but then, at the last
minute, Superman had agreed to put in an appearance, and the
committee informed Lois that she would have to croon her song
to him. The worst aspect being that Superman would not be told
about this impromptu serenade, and that made the dread all the
more intense. Okay, so they wanted to spring a little surprise on
the man of steel, but why me, she thought. Why do I have to
endure the humiliation?"
