Feeling
all at the same time!
I'm still convinced the Midwest-outage is just a red herring. M&J are okay since you're no fan of angst.
Something I wondered during the last part but forgot to put in there. Now it's all coming back:
There weren't that many buildings that were completely destroyed.
[...]
“Lois, my dear. I’m so pleased to see that you are unhurt. When I heard that your apartment had been destroyed, I had to hurry over and verify your safety. Since you turned down my invitation, I was afraid that you might have been in your apartment when the building collapsed.”
Lex most likely ordered Lois' apartment building brought drown by explosives.
“Yes, my dear. It was Nigel. He had some business that he seemed to feel was important enough to draw him out last night. He had the bad luck to have had his car crushed by a small Nightfall fragment. His loss is a great personal blow to me.”
And it was Nigel who executed the hit.
Before she could answer, she heard a crash and saw Clark sprawled on the floor. Lois hurried over to him only to find that he was sitting staring at Lex. “What happened? Are you all right?”
He was staring at Lex with an odd expression on his face. “Who is that?”
She followed his eyes. “That’s Lex Luthor.”
He was silent for a few seconds. Then in a voice completely devoid of emotion he asked, “Can you tell me why I hate him?”
Is it wrong if that totally cracked me up?
Something I'm wondering: How much satellite coverage does EPRAD still have? And couldn't Perry get some information from them on the Midwest?
So, next part tomorrow?
