“You’re saying that your secret source for your Lex Luthor articles is a ghost?”
Yeah. I mean, he was alive once. But that changed after he talked to Linda King.
“I verified all the information,” Lois defended herself. “Double checked all the facts.”
Uh-kay.
“Uh-huh,” Perry said with a nod. “A ghost that only communicates with you?”
Duh!
Right. See? I’m not crazy.
“Star is the psychic that moved into Lois’ building while she was away on vacation,” explained Jimmy.
/imagines Lois using a boxcutter on Jimmy in a very creative fashion.
“Uh-huh. So, what you’re saying is that none of this is real?
The stories he was printing? Uh-oh.
Our lives are supposed to be completely different, better even, but because some man hitchhiked back in time from the future and killed your friend, currently a ghost, we now have a ‘death ray’ destroying cities?”
Oh. That one.
“Because Clark, Clark Kent is the man who was killed, if brought back to life will be able to contact a superhero who will fight for truth and justice.”
Okay. She’s gone how.
“Lois, honey, if you want more vacation time, I have no problem giving it to you. You didn’t need to bring this pile of horse manure…”
“Well, yes…” she agreed. “But I wrote it when I was back in 1966. I didn’t remember doing so until Star unrepressed my repressed memories this morning.”
/shakes head sadly/ And she had so much promise. But it’s always the candles that burn the brightest that go out the earliest, too.
“So, what you’re telling me is that you’re not crazy because you’re hearing voices, but that you’re on the biggest story of your life?”
Umm…
Lois sighed and a natural smile graced her lips. Yes! He believed her.
She really *is* gone.
“Just Clark’s voice,” she snapped, rising her feet.
Stop Jimmy’s cousin Jimmy from being killed,
Jimmy cleared his throat. “My cousin Jimmy doesn’t die?”
He catches Tank?
“I thought he was supposed to make the world a better place?”
See?
He’s not God,” Lois retorted.
Which would also be why he’s dead now.
“And what exactly in Elvis’s name happens if Lex Luthor survives?”
Umm…He dies. And resurrects. And dies again.
“Oh, my God!” Lois gasped. “Lex proposes.” She felt sick to her stomach. Oh, God. Oh, no! Anything but that.
Buuuurn!
Please, please, please, have her turn him down!
*Buuuuuuuurn*!
