Oh dear! A lot has happened on the boards in the past two weeks!
She spent three Sundays snooping through vintage dresses at consignment shops, quaint boutiques and even the local flea market for the perfect find.
See? Had she married Lex like it was intended in the original universe, she wouldn’t have had that trouble
The groom's family usually travels to the home of the bride's family and presents a letter requesting the woman's hand in marriage.
Oooh! A bit like Home Depot?
The evening before the wedding day, the groom's family visits the bride's family again. This visit is to hear the response to the letter that was presented during the introduction ceremony. If a positive response is given, both families are formally introduced to the guests.
And when it isn’t? Sounds like a lot of wedding prep and travelling down the drain
Abrihet lowered her voice and said, “Is there any possibility of him returning?”
“Not if my other father-in-law has anything to do with it!” Lois said with a snort.
So, chance of coup happening and Lex returning just went from 60% to about 95%?
“You can see them before your fencing lesson. That ought to give you at least an hour with them.”
Fencing? She really is a lot like Lex!
Besides I need time to dress for my lesson with Joachim and then drive to his building.”
No fencing in the office like Lex did?
but the smell of fresh earth and floral scents so far from ground level was a welcome change of pace to the city’s unpleasant odors, a small, outdoor haven tucked away from the rest of the world.
Plus, all the plants should keep Superman distracted.
but an independent research firm had corroborated her suspicions that the man-on-the-street still distrusted the company.
Carlin Analytics? Also, couldn’t she have special ads circulated in print and television media that contains acrostics and subliminal content? Also, a few wellplaced incidents could instigate public relations nightmares for their competitors. That way, people would no longer think of LexCorp as the worst choice.
two chilled dishes of vanilla ice cream, homemade no doubt and a bowl of Oreo cookies.
Lex? Huh?
Somehow, Lex had discovered her favorite dessert! The fact that he knew her so well was a bit frightening.
Oh. Also, nothing that can’t be achieved by some covert surveillance and a couple dozen well placed cameras in her apartment.
The next morning upon arrival at her office, a note was on her desk, announcing that the marketing position had been given to another executive – a man. She was being ‘promoted’ to LexCorp recycling facilities in Kansas City, effective immediately.
Congratulations! And please don’t forget to have those transparent floorboards on the next floor cleaned regularly.
The man was arrogant enough to think he would live forever and so never groomed anyone to be his successor.
To be fair, he probably had a promising cloning project going.
The very last thing that LexCorp and Aykira Milan needed was the return of Lex Luthor.
Beneath the warder’s confident exterior, Lex sensed tension, perhaps his plans were not as well laid out as he presented them to be.
Also, Lex might be a convenient scapegoat in case something goes wrong.
All he had to do was return to Earth and survive any treachery Dru-Zod planned to bring into play.
Also, does Lex have Kryptonite stashed at his Outback home?
A grimace marred his features when he thought about the arrogant warder. He would use him until he managed to get back to Earth, then there would be a surprise waiting for him and all of his followers.
“Make it forty-five minutes. The Kents understand what company issues I’m dealing with. That amount of time should allow them to write a strong article and not a useless puff piece.
[…]
“Only forty-five minutes, apparently we are being squeezed in, between appointments.”
“Forty-five minutes? That’s not a lot of time; doesn’t she want this to be more than a puff piece?” Clark asked.
Oops?
“Exactly. They are rings with a matching contour design with a ruby in the center we can wear them only as Superman and Ultra Woman.”
Oh boy.

Could he be betraying his co-conspirators?
At that moment she lifted her head up, the very room had suddenly shifted as if the electrical power of lightening filled the air. The sensation was so overwhelming, breathing seemed impossible. In front of the fireplace the air shimmered and for lack of a better word …opened.
Oops? Also, is she going to run him through?
After all, what can any of your kind do to us once Superman and his mate have been disposed of?” Dru-Zod gestured to his followers.
Yeah, about that…
Rubbing his beard he said, “She must mean something to you Lex-Er. Otherwise, why would she be in here? After all you have been gone for over a year.”
Maybe Lex’s other minions had strict guidelines to keep his harem in place during in absence?
“To me loyalty is important, sometimes it is the thing that holds all else in the balance.”
Going to have Lex remove her?
“On guard!” Lex shouted and with a clash of steel the swordplay began.
Oh boy.
