The Death of Superman Page #2

---

of just how alien you are.

People forget that when you're

saving them from falling airplanes.

True, yeah. I have faith that...

Have a good one, Superman!

Thanks. You do, too.

There's a really

smart woman I know

who always says daylight

is the best disinfectant.

Lift back to The Planet?

And save me from expensing cab fare

to Perry White. You are heroic.

You know me,

always saving the day.

Uh, thanks for the ride.

I gotta go.

- There he is!

- Hey Superman, can I get a selfie?

Me too.

- You're in a rush.

- Got a big story.

I don't want

to spoil your day

but you're looking at the guy

with an exclusive on Intergang.

Well, that's nice.

Come with me.

What's

bigger than Intergang?

You'll find out.

No, right. You had that interview

with your super friend.

I know what that means.

In here.

You're always on fire

after seeing him.

Should I be jealous?

I think it's the tights.

I can pick up a pair

if that's all it takes.

Perfect. Wear 'em on our trip

to the Hamptons this weekend.

Uh, about that...

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Do you know how hard

it is for me to get away?

I gave up that interview

with the Secretary of State!

- I can explain.

- Really?

You mean it's not

some secret meeting

with some secret spies

in some secret location?

My parents are in town.

Serious? So,

you buried the lede?

This weekend just got

a whole lot more interesting.

Um... I don't...

You don't what?

Want me to meet them?

Don't you think it's time?

Lois, wait.

It's just that...

Look, Clark, I'm not

gonna waste time

worrying if a guy likes me or not.

We're both adults.

I know it was my idea to keep things secret

at work, but I'm really trying here.

No. No, you're right.

You should meet them.

It's just that this is

uncharted territory for me

and there's some things

I need to get used to sharing.

Clark, it's your parents.

What am I gonna find out?

That you were a huge dork?

I already know that.

It'll be fine. Just fine.

Well, Dr. Stone,

what's the verdict?

It matches what we've seen from other

Apocalyptian tech but not completely.

John, can you come

here for a moment?

I can't remember the last

time you asked for help.

Dr. Irons is one of S.T.A.R.

Labs premier engineers.

If it's about this metal,

Silas, I've been... Oh.

That's him.

- Have we met?

- At a construction site, once.

I had just quite LexCorp and

wanted to get my mind off it.

I remember. Nice shirt.

I wear it with pride.

Oh, can we just

do this already?

What'd you find, John?

It's definitely

from Apocalypse.

But it's been bonded with Earth-based

tri-formulite at an atomic level.

The combination

makes this stronger.
