Its that warm in Australia? Oh can you send some of it this way? As I write this the temperature outside has dropped into the 20's! Sorry for the delay, I'm behind in my reading and commenting!
Clark spent the next two days trying desperately to act normally while waiting for the axe to fall.
The sense of helplessness must have been horrible for him; knowing that his arch enemy is aware of who he is and that is planning something absolutely terrible.
The distraction he’d experienced at work ever since he’d first discovered the bugs had intensified, leading Lois to rebuke him for his lack of attention- and then with unfortunate timing, he’d heard a call for Superman almost immediately, leaving Lois fuming and further damaging their already fragile relationship.
Oh man, just when he needs a friend the most! This is yet another reason why he should have told Lois who he was early on. Who better to help him protect the secret than his partner? But because he dragged his feet, she got involved with Luthor of all people, now he can't say a word to her for fear it might get back to him.
The front door rattled, then was shoved open, bringing Clark to his feet in surprise. Lex Luthor stepped into the room, inspecting his surrounds with a look of distaste.
Not only is Luthor invading his space, he looks down on Clark's taste in decor, which at the time was a nice touch of 90's young urban professional chic.
Clark had never really learned to fight, reasoning that with his superhuman strength it would actually be dangerous to other people.
This is an interesting point. But than, why would he play football if that was the case?
For the first time, Clark truly understood the helplessness of Luthor's victims.
I think that says it all. How you are going to get him out of this situation is going to be fascinating to see. But again, please have Clark seek out assistance from someone! He cannot be completely alone.
But it was too late. With a high pitched metallic screech, the end of the crane folded in on itself, losing contact with the building it had been leaning on and plummeting towards the ground. As the stress became too great, the entire crane arm tore away from its supports with a jerk that changed its trajectory slightly. The arm crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar, clipping the corner of the already damaged office building and filling the air with dust and flying debris.
Oh no!
