Top Copy

Diana Stride sat on her desk a short skirt, legs crossed, a blazer and shirt just undone enough to see a hint of cleavage, a beautiful pearl necklace directing eyes to her breasts it helps with the ratings she steps up from the desk smiles "And don't forget tomorrow night we have an exclusive interview with the Kost-Mart Queen herself Metropolis' most gorgeous and most generous woman Mindy Church, she'll be here to discuss her latest philanthropic endeavours and boys she's single, all tomorrow on Top Copy goodnight Metropolis" *click* the TV turns off Diana is sat on a couch in her office her camera man Rolf is massaging her feet "Another good show non? You looked Spectacular" he says in his French accent, "Well of course I did Rolf, but these puff pieces are killing me in the ratings I need something juicy, something I can sink my teeth into..." Rolf moves onto Diana "I have something juicy you can sink your teeth into" the phone rings, Diana bats Rolf away as she answers "Diana, it's Mindy Church I just wanted to say I'm looking forward to the interview tomorrow also we have a mutual friend", "We do?" responds Diana "Yes, Michael DeSantos", Diana's face goes stoney and hard "Excuse me a moment Mrs Church" Rolf is kissing the soles of her feet when Diana kicks him off kicking him in the face "OWWWW WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Diana looks at him "I'd like you to leave I need an early night", "But I thought we would you know...", Diana replies "you thought wrong not tonight...now go!" Rolf gets up and leaves. "Michael DeSantos you say Mrs Church", "Yes, he's agreed to give evidence to the DA on Intergang", "I see..that could be troubling for both of us" replies Diana, " and I had kind of a thought see, I'd rather he spill his guts to you Ms Stride than to the authorities, and my informants tell me you're the best in the business at spilling guts", "Consider it done Mindy, and can I trust this will be looked at fondly when it comes time for Kost-Mart to renew their sponsorship of the show?", "Of course Diana I'll fax everything we have on Michael over now".

Later that night Diana decked out in skin tight lycra hugging her curves, sets up outside the safe house she's setting up her sniper rifle, when she sees Lois and Clark talking with Michael (Trying to get the scoop eh? You can scoop his brains off the floor), she lets off a detonator blowing up the adjacent building causing the police to scramble and mayhem to ensue she picks her shot straight in the temple, her finger resting on trigger begins to pull back BANG suddenly a WOOSH knocks the gun slightly off target as Superman arrives, the bullet still hit him but it wasn't fatal (DAMNIT) she thinks to herself as she packs up her rifle and escapes.

The next day the DA's office are giving a live press conference on the news with Superman, they explain that Michael is alive but in a critical condition and is currently in a coma, Superman makes it clear he is now protecting Michael. Diana clicks it off suddenly the door to her office opens its her assistant "Ms Stride, Mrs Church is here to see you", "Bring her in" she says. Mindy walks in looking like a Barbie doll brought to life with a hot pink suit/skirt matching heels and nails "Hi Diana" they air kiss "Well that was a pickle last night wasn't it, I expected better results", Diana retorts "Well I didn't expect Superman, but next time I will, and I'll kill Superman!", Mindy looks intrigued "You'll kill Superman?", Diana nods "Get me the right weapon and I will", "And what is the right weapon?", "Kryptonite..." Mindys eyes furrow "Everyone has tried Kryptonite" Diana continues "Enough to be ground into a fine paste and turned into a lipstick", "Lipstick?" Asks Mindy, "I usually use this" Diana pulls out a tube of lipstick it has euphoria and lust enducing properties it makes who ever injests it fall in love with me temporarily then I can have some fun and finish them off, but with the big S I need an insurance policy, the stuff hurts him if he's near it, imagine if he swallows it" both smile Mindy gasps "You're a genius! I'll get to work on that Kryptonite now", Diana replies "I just need to find him now but I have a trick for that to and when I do I'm going to expose him and reveal all of his secrets to the world live on television".
