So, how can I see this happening?
Clark is sitting at his desk, in front of his computer just typing away at the story he is working on. This is at the point in time where Clark is already established as one of the Daily Planet’s top two Journalists. Lois has been feeling the pressure of competition, for while now.
She is pissed. This big farm kid from Smallville, who she first had to educate on how to even be a reporter in the big city, this guy of all people is breathing down her neck as the next big reporter.
She has sacrificed everything to get where she is, dating and relationships, skipped vacations, put herself into harms way, stayed up all night to finish writing to have things ready by print time.
This big dumb redneck is making her look bad. He is always on time, always finds out things about a story no-one else can find, he never misspells anything, he types so fast that he has time on his hands, and makes it all look too easy. At this rate Perry is going to be giving Clark first dibs on top stories soon.
There he is sleeves rolled up, pen behind is ear, steaming pale cream covered coffee at his desk, he is even smiling! How dare he!
Lois has been preparing to run a possible lead to Perry about LexCorp which has been working on a new defense contract with an armored suit that turns one soldier into someone with comparable power to Superman himself, and she has been leaked a hint that one was being tested recently in a rouge nation, and suspects that Luthor has been making underground deals to sell these to foreign Dictators.
When this story breaks it will be big news. Lois knows this one will show up the farm goon. At his time, Lois knocks on Perry’s office door, and he motions her in. He looks up from his desk " do you have something good for me today Lois?", smiling as he does to one of his best reporters, he is sure she will have some great story.
Lois starts "Perry, one of my insiders at LexCorp has evidence that the new Lexo-tech suit is being tested in Karnacastan and that he may be making under" Perry interrupts and cuts her off "Lois I expect more of you, I don’t want you trying to take Clark’s story". Lois now upset "how can he possibly know about have this story, I have not told anyone until I was sure my source was concrete!?!?"
Perry now, informatively " Lois, that is all fine, but Clark was just in my office this morning an hour before you got here laying it all out for me, its his story. If you have other information on it, you are free to work with him on it, you can SHARE the byline with him".
Lois now devastated tries to hide her tears. This was like a nail in her professional coffin. "I have to, have to leave, I just need to step outside", she storms out of Perry’s office, and sees Clark smiling confidently as he types away, reclines back in his chair, takes a sip of coffee, as IF he needed it! It looked like he just likes the flavor, the big redneck probably has more creamer in it than coffee. He leans forward, easy as day and begins hacking away again.
Lois, shaking, enraged, more emotional than ever walks up to Clark, to which he looks up from his desk. That smile! Anytime it would have made any woman melt, but right now it was arrogant, cocky, like he doesn’t even know what he has done to her. Smiling like he thinks we are on the same side! Like the Cheshire Cat!
She reaches out and yells " Clark! How dare you do this to me!" The entire room is silent looking at her, stunned.
Lois reaches out her arm and SMACK!! slaps Clark across the face, bending his glasses, and breaking off a red painted finger nail. Lois in tears, embarrassed and humiliated storms off to the elevator, everyone is stunned.
Clark grabbing his jacket, gets up from his desk to follow her but is too slow to get to the elevator. He follows her down with the stairs, he moves no faster than a normal human. When he gets to the bottom he sees Lois existing the door, into pouring rain, with no coat, no umbrella and no purse.
As Lois steps out into the rain, she feels like it is her darkest hour. She just got scooped yet again by Clark, she has embarrassed herself in front of her boss, and made a humiliating scene in front of the entire news room. She had been up all night taking notes for her story, and is tired. Her makeup and mascara are ruining, and now that she is sopping wet she realizes that she has on a black bra with a white shirt. Now here comes the big dope holding up his jacket chasing her like Matador.
Lois now cornered turns on him! "Who do you think you ARE Clark!!?? Superman!?? You come out here to rescue me from the rain with your big Jacket?!" Clark stops only a foot in front of her, a look of shock and surprise on his face.
She continues "your responsible for this, You RUINED MY LIFE! Do you know what its like to have the weight of the world on your shoulders?!? I’m the daughter living in the shadow of a four start general! Do you know how hard it is to live up to your parents expectations!? Do you know how much I have had to deprive myself of?!? I was the best reporter ever until you came into my life and went out of your way to make me look bad!"
At this point Lois is hysterical and livid, drenched, and sobbing.
Clark responds with "I’m sorry Lois, reading your stories that made me want to work at the daily planet. I just wanted to live up to your standard. You amaze me. If It weren’t for you taking me under your wing when I was new here I never would have lasted. I look up to you as a reporter a great deal, and you are the most confident, most intuitive and best written reporter there is".
Now Lois is in tears. The person she was learning to hate was just telling her that she was his inspiration to become a journalist, and here he is even attributing all of his success to her.
Now, Clark puts his coat over her shoulders, and continues, "you are also beautiful" He pulls her close and kisses her.
The first movie is the origin , So Lois should find out in the second film, making the third film about the wedding .
