As he closed the door to the balcony, she spoke. “Hello?” She jumped into her karate stance facing him. “Who’s there?”

“A friend,” he replied, a smile emerging on his lips. Stunning and feisty, yep, definitely Lois.

“How did you get in here?”

“Through the window,” he replied, calmly.

“Are you nuts? We are on the hundred and fifth floor. Didn’t you notice the wind?” She was still bouncing around in her karate stance. “What do you want?”

The room was dark so perhaps she couldn’t see him. He clicked on the lamp next to the bed, but she didn’t react to the changing of light.

“I’m here to help you,” Superman said, moving slowly closer, towards her.

“Stop! I can hear you moving about. Just stop. I know karate, you know.”

He smiled, standing still with his arms crossed. “So, I can see.”

“Lucky you. Who are you?”

Superman stared at her. Something was wrong. Why didn’t she recognize him? Why wasn’t she looking at him?

“Who sent you?” she asked when he hadn’t spoken.

“Clark Kent,” he replied at the same time.

Superman landed in the botanical gardens in Singapore City.

He needed to forget about her and think about the mission at hand.

Why anyone would want to go through all this trouble to create a natural disaster was beyond Clark’s comprehension.

“Actually, Kent, I liked your assistant. She has a kind of spunk I find attractive in a woman. Perhaps I’ll fly to Metropolis and you can introduce me someday.”

What an odd word choice, Clark thought. As they started crossing the room towards her, ‘Lola’ glanced away from the East Indian man with whom she was conversing, noticing them. Her eyes lit up with the joy of a child.

“Lexy!” she cried in excitement, her voice almost baby-dollish, trying to run towards him, but not being able to due to her gown. She gave up and held out her arms to him.

Lexy? Clark glanced between Lola and Luthor. He was looking at her like a disappointed school master and she like a school girl. They met up in the middle of the floor and she grabbed Lex’s arm and gazed at him with a look of utter devotion.

Lola gave him eye contact for exactly five seconds and then looked him over top to bottom to top again, like a child eyeing her first hot fudge sundae.

More beautiful than Kal’s Lois, but he felt nothing when he looked at her. Nothing like what he had felt when he had first laid eyes on Lucy. No electricity like their first touch. He smiled politely.

Lola’s eyes went wide with genuine fear. “Cyclone? Here in Singapore?” She gripped his arm tightly, then she swallowed. “When?”

She shook her head violently, let go of his arm, and made a beeline to the Indian man following them. “Asabi! Asabi! What is this about a cyclone? Cyclones aren’t supposed to strike here. That was in the data you gave me. Do you know what high winds will do to the frog population around here?”

“It is nothing for you to worry about, Ma’am. Let’s go get you a treat, shall we? Would you like a treat?”

After a quick glance at Asabi, she replied, “I’m sorry, Mr. Kent, I was recently ill and would not want to strain my vocal cords. Excuse me.”

He couldn’t put his finger on it, but something was missing.

Clark x-rayed the wall to see where Lola and Asabi had gone. Three rooms over was a small bedroom with a guard and a keypad entry. They were standing at a large tabletop aquarium filled with frogs.

Suddenly, Luthor put his arm around Clark’s shoulders turning him away from where he had been looking. “Kent, my boy, enjoying yourself?”

“She’s quite the environmentalist.”

“Perry says that Lola’s singing career almost stole his best reporter away from him.”

“Interesting theory, Kent. I’ve found that every woman has a price, you just have to be willing to pay it.”

“A friend of mine would say that ‘Love isn’t a commodity to be bought or sold, but given freely or not at all.’”

“Your friend sounds like a wise woman,” Lex stated. “What’s her name? Lucy El, perhaps?” He grinned.

“Lois Lane,” Clark replied.

‘Lola’ returned at that moment and gave Lex a large sloppy kiss. He smiled at Clark and then wiped his mouth with his handkerchief.

“And I’ve learned, Kent, that women have a tendency to change their minds.”

“No, thanks, I just ate,” Lola replied, licking her lips.

Lex turned slightly green and wiped his mouth again, waving the waiter away.

And *that's* why you should travel in an aluminum tube.

Now look at that. But why would he grant the meet if he doesn't want to follow through?

But likely it's just Clark's imagination and it's her not being able to see that she's not running. The 'Lexy' is still odd, though...

Can't sing?

A soul?

No. Just concerned about dinner. Or her little sister. Hmm... mabye both.

And that must have been during her first year at the Planet, right?

Not liking frog-kisses?

So she changes her mind and holds out her arms. (Clearer?)

"Lexy" wasn't what canon Lois called Lex?

2nd hand frogs?
