Lorelei's plan

Lorelei is reading a copy of the daily planet, Vera, Ross and Gus have them too, Gus hasn't even bothered opening his he's sheepishly trying to stay out of Ross' way after the kryptonite debacle the headline reads "Super No More". In the days since he let the bridge collapse his behaviour was becoming more and more eractic he'd bosom out the Olympic torch during the opening ceremony, he'd straightened the leaning tower of Pisa. Vera puts her paper down "What has happened to him?" "I'll tell you what's happened to him," said Ross Webster, addressing his colleagues at the conference table. "The Kryptonite is working. Ok, it didn't kill him, but it's turned him into a selfish, ornery, malicious, half-crazed being. In other words he's a normal person,". Lorelei interjects "But was such a sweetie before I don't get it...", "I don't keep you around for you to get it dear..." Lorelei inwardly seething one day she wouldn't have to put this dumb blonde persona to ease his ego, but today wasn't that day. Ross steps up from the table "Since Superman is our of the superhero business I guess we can carry on with our plans but I've had a thought coffee is what gets the world to but oil keeps it going, Gus I need you to..." Gus interjects "...You know Mr Webster I'm wondering when I'll get a piece of the pie?" Vera and Lorelei look on shocked "Surely the sweet taste of freedom is enough or shall I contact the police?" Ross quips, "That's not going to work, you need me out here none of your plans are possible without me..." Ross Looks perturbed, Lorelei looks on interested "What do you want?" Asks Ross, "I want the money to make this" replies Gus as he empties scraps of paper out of his pocket technical drawings on the backnof receipts and other scrap..."What is it?" Asks Ross, "It's plans for nano bots, see this is the base unit and these nano bots are connected to it they're so small they're almost undectable and...", Ross cuts him off "What will they do?", "Anything I ask them to..." Lorelei's eyes light up, Ross smiles "I meant what will they do for me", "Anything, you ask me to ask them to do" Ross laughs "Ok pal you'll have your computer". Ross takes Gus through the oil caper essentially he'd give instructions for all of the pumps to stop and he'd lead all of the tankers currently at sea to a particular location where a foreign militia under Ross' employ would steal the oil repackage it as Webco and being the only supplier in the US he'll sell at 10x maybe even 100x the price. Ross and Vera leave the office Lorelei whispers for Gus to come over to her "Doesn't the way he talks to you just boilnypur blood?" She asks "You do all the work, he gets all the profit", Gust stammering over his words "I...do...n't want any trouble", Lorelei pushes him onto a plush chair and comes up behind massaging his shoulders "No trouble Gus just something to think about" she whispers into his ear "Girls like me are only with men like him for one reason, if you had that you could be with a girl like me...would you like that Gus?" He can feel her hot breath on his neck and she gently nibbles his ear, he'd been dreaming of being with Lorelei since he first saw her "What are you thinking?" He asks "Remember when you said about Superman working for Ross?", She sits across his lap "Well with that Kryptonite making him naughty, you pushing the right buttons on your nano bots and me pushing the right buttons on Superman we could make that a reality..." Gus looks confused "Why would we want Superman working for Mr Webster?" Lorelei's sexy pout drops as she thinks (What an idiot), "Not Ross...us silly, get to work on that computer and program it just for me" she blows him a kiss as he gets up holding the newspaper over his clearly erect crotch.

2 weeks pass in that time Gus had completed beta versions of his nano bots and a working prototype of his Supercomputer he had just two days before, completed the reroute of all of the oil tankers to the coast of Columbia. In Ross' Boardroom he pushes a button on the desk which causes a giant minister to emerge showing a map an flashing icons for the oil tankers all together ripe for the picking, Ross almost giddy "This is great soon all of that oil will be mine", Vera points at the bottom right "Almost all what is that Tanker doing?" There was a tanker and it was heading the wrong way. On board "That's the coast of Columbia," said the renegade captain. "And I'm not taking my ship out there to just sit, no matter what any damn computer says we're suppose to go to Metropolis and we're going to Metropolis". Ross is appalled how dare this one tanker defy him he hits his desk both fists clenched when Lorelei gets up from her chair "Ross, don't be such a big silly I'll move that boat", Ross laughs "How will do you do that", "easy, seduce Superman and make him do it" Vera scoffs "He let a bridge fall for me last time..." She continues plans are put into motion.
