To Lois Lane, it was just another night at the daily planet.

She beamed as she pressed the send button on her computer and sent off her article to the editor. Her and her partner Clark Kent had done well, she couldn't help but think. They had investigated a crime scene that morning and after further digging and an attempt on Lois's life (What else was new?) they had managed to catch the Metropolis's latest crime boss and put him behind bars.

Lois had a feeling that the red-blue blur would be proud of her tonight and that feeling mixed in with the satisfaction she got from chucking another scum bag where he belongs made her feel altogether elated.

Lois switched off her computer, grabbed her handbag and walked out of the daily planet, intending on going to bed as soon as she got back to her apartment so she could be fully rested for another day of investigative reporting.

As she made her way to her car her thoughts suddenly turned to Clark. He was doing much better at the planet than anyone especially she had expected. He was doing really well as far as reporting went and she knew if he kept up the good work he was well on
his way to having a page one story someday.

Lois got into her car and turned on the engine. She had known for sometime now that what she felt for Clark wasn't just professional or friendship anymore. It hadn't been for sometime. She didn't know when it had sneaked up on her but she found her thoughts always evolved around Clark now.

Sighing she began driving down the road that would take her to where her apartment block was located. It was only a few minutes away from the daily planet conveniently enough.

Suddenly a car light caught her attention in her rear view mirror. Some idiot was driving right behind her on the road. If they weren't careful they were going to cause an accident.

Frowning, Lois speeded up only for their car to start speeding further along as well. A strange tingle went down her spine and she realised that the bastards were chasing her. They were trying to cause an accident.

Alarmed, Lois tried swerving but the driver of the car noticed what she was doing and managed to follow her lead, their car finally colliding into the back of Lois's. Lois lost control of her vehicle as the other driver finally managed to knock her off the side of the road.

She didn't scream, Lois Lane was no screamer but she closed her eyes as her body was flung forwards and her car crashed into a tree.

Lois fell limped against her wheel and lost consciousness, her head bleeding.

Chloe was working at watch tower when her ringtone suddenly began to float out of her handbag. She quickly grabbed her cell out of her handbag and flipped her phone open.

"Hello" Chloe said bluntly as she kept one eye on the monitor in front of her that currently showed the location of her friend and employer Oliver Queen a.k.a Green Arrow on his latest mission.

"Is this Chloe Sullivan?" a deep voice asked down the line.

"Yes, this is her speaking" Chloe replied, frowning at the sound of the unfamiliar voice.

"Hello Miss Sullivan, I am Doctor Wilson at Metropolis General Hospital. I am afraid I have some bad news for you relating to your cousin, Lois Lane" the man informed her.

Chloe's attention was abruptly stolen from the monitor and her eyes widened with worry.

"Oh no, Lois, is she alright?" Chloe asked anxiously. The Doctor seemed to hesitate for just a moment before answering.

"Your cousin was involved in a car accident. Miss Lane is stable but she is in a coma" The Doctor informed her grimly.

"Thank you for calling me, Doctor Wilson. I'll be right there" Chloe said quickly, her eyes filling with tears before she put her cell back into her handbag and grabbed her coat; leaving watch tower to be by her cousin's side.

Clark had just rescued two young children from a burning building when his cell phone went off. He was now at home on Kent farm (After speeding from Metropolis back to the farm within seconds) and grabbed his cell phone from the pocket of his suit jacket.

Clark briefly looked down at the caller I.D and saw that it was Chloe before picking up.

"Hey Chloe, What is it?" he asked quickly as he flung his jacket onto the coach before sitting down.

"Clark" Chloe's hoarse voice caught Clark's attention immediately; it sounded as if she was crying."It's Lois, there's been an accident"

Clark suddenly felt his world stop spinning from the moment she said the words Lois and accident in the same sentence.

"What happened?" Clark asked trying to remain calm but unable to control his worry for whatever it was she was going to tell him.

"She...her car was found off the side of the road just five minutes away from the daily planet...Clark...Lois is in a coma" Chloe cried down the line.

"Where are you?" Clark demanded, his mind too numb to think properly.

"Metropolis General" Chloe answered.

"I'll be there in a second" he replied and sure enough, he super-speeded all the way over to Metropolis from Smallville and still made it within a second.

As soon as he came in, he spotted Chloe and a glance was all it took before his arms were full of his petite, blonde best friend.

When Lois woke up things were not at all like she expected them to be.

For one she was standing in the middle of a road with no idea of how she got there. What had happened to her?

"Hello" Lois called out but nobody answered.

Suddenly the events of that night came flooding back at all at once like she was hit in the head with something. That person that had chased her off the road, where was he or she? And where was her car and why did she not seem to be injured at all? Lois frowned.

Oh well, she was Lois Lane, she was too tough to be injured by a minor car crash apparently. Well still...Lois thought to herself. If she found the tools that had done this to her then she was going to kick some serious ass.

They better watch their backs, she thought grimly.

Not knowing where to go, Lois decided she would go over to Clark's and see if he had a clue about what had just happened. She sighed when she realised that she had a thirty minute walk over to Kent Farm from where she was but in the end Lois decided to go anyway.

She really could use someone to talk to about this and she really didn't want to be alone tonight. Not after what had happened.

Lois began to walk and soon picked up her pace. Before long she was practically flying her way to the farm...wait a minute...flying?

Lois looked down and saw her feet didn't touch the ground. It was almost as if she was
some kind of spirit but she knew that couldn't be right...not even in Smallville.

What the hell was going on? She wondered.
