Missing Lois - TOC A taste of Chapter 6, Part 8...
“What is it, Jaxon?” his father said in that annoyed tone he saved for pestering employees and unwanted children.
“Ultra Woman is here, Father, and wants to talk to you,” he said hesitantly.
“Is that another one of your geeky friends pulling a prank on you? You know, nobody’s seen Ultra Woman since Halloween. Why would the first place she reappears be at your apartment? It’s probably someone in a costume.”
“No, Father. It’s her.” He cleared his throat. “She came through my balcony.”
“Fine. Put her on.”
“I don’t wish to speak on the phone, Jaxon.” She crossed her arms. “Tell your father I want to meet with him. I have a message to deliver from a mutual acquaintance.”
“She wants to meet with you, Father. She says she has a message from a mutual acquaintance.”
“Oh. Clark sending his girlfriend to deliver messages for him now? I’m not staying away from my wife, if that’s the message.”
“I need the address, Jaxon,” Ultra Woman stated.
“She really wants to see you, Father.”
“Agreed. I’d like to see this super woman for myself.”
“Ultra Woman,” she corrected loud enough for him to hear.
“Give her the address, but tell her to come through the window to prove she’s the real deal.” Lex hung up, chuckling.
Ultra Woman flew onto his balcony a minute later. Lex opened the balcony doors.
“My. My. Ultra Woman, pictures did not do you justice,” he said with his derisive smile. “To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?”
Lois pulled out the divorce papers and handed them to him. “Lex Luthor, you have been served. Have a happy divorce.” She turned on her heel and flew out the balcony window. She could still hear him yelling threats and insults a block later.
Yea!
