Lois Lane:
Clark Kent. You're back. I was beginning to think your family lived on some distant planet.

Clark Kent:
Must have really missed me.

Lois Lane:
Uh... only because the guy who sat in your desk was a certifiable psychopath. Otherwise, I've been so busy, I didn't even notice you were gone.

Clark Kent:
Missed you too, Lois. Anything exciting happen while I was gone?

Lois Lane:
Well, you'll never believe it, but I helped The Blur stop a homicidal maniac.

Clark Kent:
Really? You know, I would *love* to hear about it.

Lois Lane:
Okay. Well, it all started when this guy showed up with this *major* grudge against The Blur. He also happens to have these bionic arms and a big, glowing rock for a heart. But that's *way* later in the story.
