Looking back to the bedroom door, Clark placed the strange scale on the side counter next to the bed and got up to put on a night coat of his own, stepping outside and waiting at the door of the bathroom for his turn to get cleaned up and ready for work. He did not have long to wait until his wife opened the door to the washroom with a plume of hot steam billowing out and her sticking her head out with a towel wrapped around her hair to keep it dry.

“Are you sure you don’t want to join me Smallville? Room for one more…”

Looking away sheepishly, Clark stepped aside to give her room to exit while tugging his night coat closed. “That’s… That’s alright Lois, I’ve got an early day at the Planet, and you know how Perry is like if you aren’t there for his opening speeches.”

Pouting with a soft moan of disappointment, Lois opened the door completely to reveal she was completely naked, stepping out of the washroom and making her way back to the bedroom to change, looking over her shoulder with that same look before turning to a grin and sticking out her tongue. “Spoil sport.”

Shaking his head and rubbing the bridge of his nose with his fingers, Clark stepped into the washroom and got cleaned up for work. After a quick shower, shave and brushing his teeth, Clark made his way back to the bedroom through the hallway to find Lois in the kitchen wear a dress that looked painted on her tall and athletic figure, something he was sure she chose deliberately, especially when she leaned against the counter to fry some eggs and show off her thighs and rear. Under the hem of the dress.

Breakfast will be ready in a few Clark, are you hungry?”

“Sure, I’ll be right with you.” Stepping into their bedroom and quickly getting changed. He spotted the scale he found earlier and placed it in his pocket, for safe keeping just in case. When he went outside to join his wife, she already had a plate of toast and scrambled eggs ready for the both of them. “So, what are your plans today Lois?”

“Me? Hmm… Probably nothing, I might head out and enjoy the day since I’m still on paid leave until the end of the week.”

“Well, try to enjoy yourself until then, who knows, maybe Perry will put you back on the Lexcorp scoop to help.”

Resting her chin in the palm of her hand while she circled her scrambled eggs with her fork, Lois did not look interested in her meal, despite how hungry she looked. Her eyes stared into her plate with mild disinterest before she finally plucked a portion of egg off the plate and bit into it. “Mhhmm…” Seeing she was still upset about the matter, Clark finished his meal and got up to come to her side and give his wife a soft hug before kissing the side of her head, causing her to smile just as he turned to get his coat and briefcase.

“I’ll see you later tonight, if you want, we can make an early night of it, it’ll be my treat.”

Seeing her smile more eagerly, the woman turned in her chair and stood to pose for her husband, leaning forward to show off her impressive chest, and gently tracing a lock of her hair out of the way over her shoulder. “Well then Smallville, don’t keep a lady waiting when the time is right.”

Smiling bashfully, Clark carefully stepped out of the door and made his way off to work. But when the door finally closed, Lois slumped back down on her chair and sighed heavily. Looking down at the breakfast, the woman frowned. She was hungry, starving even, but the sight of the still warm scrambled eggs and toast had no appeal to her. There was something… Missing. And she noticed there was something with every meal. Leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms, Lois pouted and sat up to clean her plate into the garbage. Titling her hip and resting her hands at her sides, the Amazonian woman turned on her heel and returned to the living room to sit back heavily into the couch and turn on the television.

“Maybe the news will take my mind off of things…”

Lounging on the couch, Lois skipped one channel after the other until she found the local news and placed the remote on the coffee table. According to the one broadcaster, the weather would be clear and sunny and there was currently some traffic on the freeway… Same old, same old. Feeling her stomach growl, Lois looked down at her toned abdominals and rubbed her flat stomach in annoyance. For over an hour, Lois watched the news events until she spotted something strange on the television. Blurry static filled the screen, making the image unreadable, that is until black fingers poked out of the center of the screen and pulled the static back like they were blinds. Revealing a pale skinned woman in a black leotard and sky-blue spiky hair smiling back at Lois.

“HELLO geeks and dweebs of Metropolis, Livewire here to give you the low down on a real shocker of a story happening right here in the heart of the city park.”

Sitting up on the couch and looking back out the window to the city, Lois listened intently to the woman’s threat over the television.

“Seems there’s a big bad bitch going around who’s got a taste for the green, and what do I have here but a green gold nugget of the stuff.” Showing a small glowing rock linked to a chain like a crude necklace, Livewire smiled as she swung it back and forth like a pendulum. To Lois, it was the equivalent of shaking a treat in front of a starving animal. “Here are the terms little Missy, show yourself by noon, and I don’t put up a major lightshow that’ll cause a 5-alarm fire in this ho hum boring town.” Pulling the rock away from sight, Lois nearly fell out of her seat, her eyes had been glued to the rock the entire time until it was gone.

“Better move fast… The clock is ticking…”

The static returned and the image cleared, showing confused newscasters trying to find the source of the immediate interruption to the broadcast and alerting the audience to remain calm. Lois heard none of that, as she had already raced out of the apartment to face her.
