Hi,
Great part!
Like a hawk literally.
“What? What hurt you?”
“I don’t know, Lois. All I do know is that I suddenly felt weak, almost drained, and then I felt pain in my arms and legs. I turned and stumbled away and the pain stopped, but my powers were gone for a while.”
“Are they back now?”
“For the most part, yes, but I didn’t want to risk a crash-landing on the roof of the Planet, so I changed clothes in an alley and took a cab back here.”
Clark doesn’t know what is Kryptonite?
Hope no one saw him in an alley?
“Sudden weakness, loss of balance, inability to fly, and apparent pain. He fled the scene on foot.”
“Were you spotted?”
“Of course not. The subject remained completely unaware of my presence.”
“Hmm. Perhaps we should move up phase two.”
“As you wish. I shall arrange it for next Tuesday if that is convenient.”
“It is, but make it Tuesday evening, between six and nine PM. I have an appointment during the day and I want to hear the results as soon as you have any.”
At least they are no going to use Lois?
The voice spoke slowly and firmly. “Don’t guess, Ms. Grant, be certain. We wouldn’t want anything to happen to our – arrangement, now, would we?”
She gulped and paled. “N-no! No, we wouldn’t.”
“Then I’ll expect to hear from you soon.”
“Yes. Yes, of course.”
“Have you learned who Lane’s source at LuthorCorp is?”
“Not yet. I’m still working on it.”
“See that you do. Your parents’ continued good health depends on it.”
They are using her!
