Loss
Superman watches in horror as Lois Lane falls from the building. Lex Luthor has cast her off and simultaneously launched an all out attack on Metropolis. Superman must decide here and now who he will save, the love of his life, or the entire city with all its inhabitants. A stream of crystal tears slowly drip off his face as he propels himself up into the sky, racing towards the incoming meteors. Superman must catch each incoming meteor as it falls and throw it back into space. He throws himself with abandon at each one as the tears continue to flow. Soon only the largest of the meteors is left as it slowly begins to ignite in the atmosphere. He flies up to it and begins to catch it. A green piercing light emits from where he has embedded himself. The meteor is filled with kyrptonite. Supermans hands begin to burn as he presses ever harder against the rock. He slowly begins to fatigue and feel drained. The meteor slows but moves onward towards the city. With one last herculean shove the meteor is thrown back to space. Superman barely able to stay in flight slowly presses up through the clouds. They seem to move on forever. He begins to feel dizzy and his eyes slowly close. Suddenly her bursts out of the clouds and into the sun. The suns rays quickly recharge him and he stands upright and defiant. He zooms quickly back to earth. There on the ground is the lifeless body of Lois. He begins to weep as he tenderly lifts her body into the sky and soars off into the dark as a light rain begins to fall.
