A whip of the wrist and the suit bounds out and into the middle of the apartment ,standing like it once did before, but this time...itll fit!
Off clarks face -- awash in trepidition -- we suddenly pull back at lightspeed to:
EXT. CLARK APARMENT
Outside his apartment, a long shot, we make out clark as he puts the suit-the suit puts itself on him- and in this same shot we race-blur-stopping at the roof where superman burts through the door, knocking it off its hinges.
Then we quickly push in tight on superman face as he searches the skies. Though of course, this is still cakr, his typical fear is overwhelmed by intense determination.
And in that moment he takes off into the sky.
