The Truce

Winter on the Kent farm has always been a magical time. The white ocean of snow that surrounds the farm gives the impression that the farmhouse becomes an island in this vast sea. And inside the house the feeling of isolation is the same. Lois Lane, the wife of the current farm owner was sitting in front of her laptop re-reading the documents she had just received from a reputable source. Their contents revealed that Lex Luthor had designed high-powered weapons with kryptonite as the power source. The goal these weapons were designed to kill human and alien targets, especially Superman.

"Interesting..." Lois said while nibbling on the end of a pencil, "But I need more proof, like the storage location or the blueprints of those weapons."

Suddenly a bang takes over the house and a small bald imp wearing a hat appears in front of Lois Lane making her do a surprise shout.

"Easy!" said the Imp "Don't call the big blue, I didn't come here to hurt you!"

"Give me one good reason! Every time you show up it's for some prank or to sow chaos!" Lois has already responded by picking up the emergency beacon she's carrying.

"The best things in the world." Mxy replies "but this time I come here with a proposal. I propose a truce for ninety days. You don’t denounce me to the Blue Lumox nor to the socerous community while I hide on Earth while I run away from a fifth dimension bully, a lightning bolt called Venhaqui."

"And what do you offer me in return?" Lois asked with interest in her eyes.

"I give your heart's desire. What you want most in this world." Mxy said already raising his hands ready to make a magic gesture.

"I accept," said lois "and my heart's desire is put Lex Luthor behind bars through my stories about his illegal weapons project."

Mxy just smiles and ends the gesture. 'Let's see if that's what your heart desires. I'll see you in ninety days to see what happened and undo this magic if everything goes south"
