Hi Barbara!
Fear stood in the middle and pressed a button. “I can see it now. In fact, it's hard to see anything else. It's a mess.”
“Yeah, yeah, when the moment comes, Anger and I will push the button together,” Fear whispered. “Not sure I could do it on my own, anyway.”
Then everything went dark.
Nighty night!
Joy let his gaze drift across the Headquarters. “Yeah, but you’re not supposed to be here, yet.”
that scene from the movie!
“Oh my, you knocked your head pretty good, didn’t you?” Fear asked concerned. “Clark has not just been born. We just steered into an asteroid. Though the missing core memories are pretty odd.”
Oooh that’s gonna be interesting!
“Apparently, we flew into an asteroid,” Joy explained. Anger threw each of them a look with deadly potential. “And whose stupid idea was that?”
Hulk smash. Puny asteroid.
He went past the walls that usually consisted of windows, but that now were hidden behind massive blinds.
Oooooohhhhh…
“Did anyone of you know that Clark could run on auto-pilot?” Sadness blushed. “I…uh… I might have accidentally pushed that switch once - after Lois had done this dance of the seven veils, shortly before she came to her senses.”
animal instinct taking over?
“This is getting annoying,” Anger commented. “Clark’s beginning to sound like a broken record.”
That’s what you get for smashing him into a wall.
"The alarm! There should be an alarm blaring whenever Clark takes his glasses off. I adjusted the parameters just yesterday.
Don't tell me that's the reason why there was a damn alarm going off when you tugged Clark in yesterday!" Anger growled.
Sleepless nights, here you come!
Why are we in love with her, again?"
/Traces out shape of coke bottle like they do in the commercials/
Because she's absolutely gorgeous," Joy gushed
See?
She pulled Clark with her. Disgust tore at his hair. “Wait a moment, that’s not how this was supposed to go.”
Be careful what you wish for.
Disgust shook his head. “Yuck. We certainly don’t! Do I want to know what comes next?”
Free milk!
“Now, see to it that she gets her hands off of Clark before I have to file a sexual harrassment suit.”
That would be a first. They might need to hire a lawyer, too, with that field of expertise.
Next thing we know is you find us some buxom blonde that is head over heels in love with Clark but hates Superman.”
Umm…
JOY: define ‘buxom’.
"Yup." Sadness smiled. “He’s a lunkhead. That’s as normal as it gets.”
That was a great adaption. Wonderful work, consistent with the others (see Lois’s emotions already knowing the truth), and certainly the most challenging aspect of a blank mind?
