Re: Lois Lane (book series)

I think you might be surprised by how long we end up working together some day.

From what I've learned, no time passes back home. The general will never know you're gone.

...Some day?

[I guess it's not entirely weird that he knows my dad's the general. I gave him my name; my dad is a big name. It's not too great of an assumption. But still...]

Huh?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

[Oops, he probably shouldn't say stuff like that, even a teenage Lois Lane is pretty sharp.]

Hey, we reporters at the Daily Planet have heard good things about you. Can't expect a group of reporters not to look into up and comers.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[I'm torn. I like flattery, like that, as much as the next wannabe full-fledged news reporter. But it's still a weird way of phrasing things.]

Well, thanks. What stories have you been working on? So I know what I'm possibly getting into one day.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

Looking to scoop me already, Miss Lane?

[Grins so she knows he's kidding.]

I like the human interest stories, things about normal people doing things to help each other out, inspiring people.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

Hey, you snooze you lose, Mr. Kent.

[I try to hide my disappointment and so my face probably ends up looking squished and strained.]

Oh, I'm working on one of those right now. Well, it started out like that, but now it's getting bigge.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

[Has to laugh at that.]

Not everyone can root out corruption and lies, I leave that for the people who enjoy it. What have you uncovered?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

Oh, just a potentially dangerous experimental program on twins with connections to the Metropolis mob and the framing of an innocent man for felony crimes.

After my last story, I figured I should step it up a notch.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

Oh, is that all you've got going on?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

And school. Plus I play a little Worlds War Three when I have the time.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

What's World War Three?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

Um... the biggest holoset game on the market right now?

How-- Sorry, but really, have you been living under a rock? Our whole article was about World Wars Three.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

Video games aren't really my thing. Never really did that much growing up on the farm. I prefer a good book.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

I think as a reporter you've got to have your finger on the pulse of things.

Though honestly I don't really play. I just meet up with my friend there. It's easier than typing.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

Can't you just talk on the phone?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

No. It's... complicated. There's a lot of secrecy and security involved in talking to him.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

Oh, I see. Is your friend alright? Are they safe?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

I think so. He was kind of worried recently. I would explain but it all sounds kind of crazy.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

Miss Lane, I think you might be surprised by just how much I don't think is crazy.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

[I heave a heavy sigh. I can't believe I'm going to do this, but with all that's going on, it would be kind of nice to have a neutral party giving me advice. Even if there is an aura of strange around him.]

So we met on this message board called Strange Skies? It's about paranormal experiences people have had, stuff that can't be explained. Well, I saw this... flying man. [Gulp.] He saved my dad and I from being crushed to death by some boulders. Smallville Guy contacted me after that -- That's his handle. We've been friends ever since. But there's someone posting on the boards now, saying he -- or she I guess -- knows who the flying man is and keeps posting coordinates for where he'll be. I guess Smallville knows who the flying man is because he seems really worried about all this.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

[Flying man and Smallville Guy, huh? Clark can piece together that puzzle.]

Well, it sounds like your friend and this flying man are lucky to have you on their side.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

If only there was something I could actually do. I told Smallville to give a warning to the flying man, but I can't get in there and actually help.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

Well if he's smart, and if he's got you as a friend I think he is, then he'll listen to your advice.

Sometimes just knowing that someone cares enough to be worried about you is enough to make you think twice about doing something that may get you hurt.

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[skepticgirl_1]

[Like I am sooo not doing.]

Yeah, I guess. I can't say it's ever stopped me, though.

Does that make me a bad friend?

Re: Lois Lane (book series)

[upupandaway]

I think exceptions can be made when what you're doing can help save people.
