Yeah, when they can't KILL you! [Linked Image]

"Really?" Mary said. "That's odd. The guard had your keys. He was trying to return them to you."
AAAAHHHHHHHHH! Run! Run NOW!!!

"Oh." Ellen smiled mechanically. She'd been sure she'd lost those keys at the Daily Planet. Was it possible she'd been mistaken?

No, it wasn't. She'd driven to the Planet, and she'd had to use her keys to do it. The security guard had lied, and there was only one reason he would do that. Ellen gulped down the lump of panic that tried to rise in her throat. This time she couldn't tell herself that it was all her imagination.

There was a chime as the elevator slid to a stop and the doors opened.
<phew!> It seems to not be the only bell ringing! She finally figured it out. Now, RUN! No, not into the PARKING GARAGE!

Another rush of footsteps, and again, silence.

She felt as if she were spotlighted in front of the elevator, a target for whoever it was that was stalking her so frighteningly. She couldn't stay here!

she aimed the little canister of teargas and sprayed her captor full in the face.

Ellen sprayed him again, for good measure.
Go!!! Ellen! dance

There was a whoosh of air, heralding the arrival of Superman, but held tightly in Sam's arms, Ellen barely noticed.
Well, it's about time!

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
