SMALLVILLE: A NEW BEGINNING-PART 10
by Keith
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
When last we left the town of Smallville, Kansas, a lot has happened and lot more is about to happen. Just as Sheriff Adams left headquarters to investigate the goings on at an abandoned trailer park, Lucy Lane stepped in to inquire about her older sister, Lois.
"Hi, can anybody tell me where I can find Lois Lane?"
The clerk at the front desk of the precinct sized her up. The young woman had long straight brown hair done in a half updo as she was dressed in black leather.
"What can I do you for, miss?", asked the clerk at the front desk.
"I'm looking for Lois Lane."
"Any relation?"
"She's my older sister....what's going on?"
"Appears there's a disturbance down at some abandoned trailer park just outside of town."
"What do you mean disturbance?"
"I'll tell ya all about it...."shouted out Detective Sawyer as she made her way to the front of the precinct.
"What's going on exactly and who are you exactly as well?"
"I'm Detective Maggie Sawyer, Metropolis PD. I'm in town to catch a couple of escaped convicts on their way to prison. I'll tell you more about it when we...."
Before Detective Sawyer could say anything more, she was startled to discover that Lucille Lane was gone in a flash!
'I better catch up to her before she really gets hurt', Maggie thought to herself as she raced out of the building to plop herself into the next available squad car.
Meanwhile.....
"No time, no see, Sheriff...."gloated Skunkface as he glowered down upon a captive and freshly beaten up Sheriff Adams who was at his feet. She was surrounded by many other bikers who had come into town to help their leader out.
"You're breakin' the law by coming here and causing trouble..."said Sheriff Adams weakly as she coughed up enough blood from her mouth as she panted and struggled to get back on her feet, but Philbert the Animal kicked her back down.
The Sheriff was in dire straits and if help did not arrive but soon, she would be done for.
"Who hired you?"
"Why some two bit gangster named Boxy Birnbaum, who else?"
"You're helping him with his illicit meth business,aren't you?"
"Hey, me and my peeps keep guard over the operation in return for a cut of the profits that Boxy and his cronies make....nothing personal, but he don't want anybody sneaking around his operation."
"You won't get away with this, Skunkface. Even if you kill me, I know some people who'll stop you and bring your whole sordid operation down to the ground...."
The sheriff was right, but Skunkface didn't want to take any chances so he ordered his goons to help her back on her feet and drag her to the middle of the vacant property. Shortly there after, a ghastly scene was about to unfold....
The Sheriff was on her back, but she was spread eagle with her wrists and ankles chained to four separate motorcycles. She was about to be drawn and quartered!
Time was about to run out for the sheriff until.....
A flash of blackened light approached the scene in less than a fraction of second as Skunkface was knocked to the ground, in a dazed stupor! The others were startled as they looked around to see who had knocked out their leader until....
Standing before them all at a distance was Lucille Lane!
"I've come to help this lady out anyway I can so if you boys would mind stepping away from her...."
"Or what?!", yelled Mad Dog.
Before Mad Dog McTaggart could say anything else, Detective Sawyer burst on to the scene with her pistol drawn and aimed at them all.
"You all had better surrender and come down to the precinct quietly or else...."
Suddenly, before Maggie could shoot her pistol.....mayhem ensued!....
Meanwhile.....
It was at a top secret locale where Lois awoke to discover herself chained just by her wrists just inches from the floor. She was weakened because of the green kryptonite that was put around her neck. She was too weak to struggle just as she was being punched in the face back and forth.
"Dis'll teach yah ta meddle in dah boss's affairs", scolded Scarface as he punched Lois left and right with his fists.
She withstood as much as she could, but it was becoming too much for her so Boxy intervened.
"Enough a that, Scarface, it's time t' fit dis broad wit cement shoes", pronounced Boxy as the other members of his gang unchained her, but kept the lethal green kryptonite around her neck.
They took her over to a chair, sat her down in it, placed both her feet inside a cast iron tub, and took turns pouring quick drying cement into it. This was the old gangland method of disposing interlopers and tresspassers. It was tried and true, but still effective....even after all these years!
As they were in the process of fitting Lois with those said cement shoes, something was about to happen.
Suddenly, a batarang flew above them all, exploding in midair as wafts and wafts of knock out gas managed to make the villains unconscious. Lois was too weak to fight so as soon as the vapors cleared, the Dark Knight Detective swooped down before Lois with the help of his grappling line and quickly removed the green kryptonite necklace from around her neck! Luckily the Batman was wearing a gas mask as he put the green kryptonite chunk inside a special leaded vial to store safely away into his utility belt. He watched to see if Lois was recovering and sure enough....
She breathed in the clean air as deeply as she could as she broke the chain around her wrists that bound her. Seeing that her feet were in quick drying cement, she raised both her legs up and brought them down with a thud so strong that it shattered the bucket holding the cement that had surrounded her feet.
"Are you all right, Miss Lane?"
Lois turned to face the Dark Knight appreciatively, but careful to keep his secret identity a secret, she said to him....
"Thanks, Batman....I needed that. So where's Superman and the others?"
"They're all out at the trailer park...."
"Good, let's go there and see if we can help put an end to this nonsense", said Lois as she took off through the ceiling of the secret locale just as the Dark Knight followed her with the help of grappling line gun!
At the trailer park, the fighting was about to worsen.
Superman and Wonder Woman were busily fending off any bikers who had come to help Skunkface, but they were really helping Martha and Lana out in the process!
"I never thought you lowlifes would have anything to do with this criminal mastermind", said Martha to Turk as he swung his chain whip around her waist....but in vain.
The farmer's widow just merely yanked the biker to her just so that she could land him a punch that sent him clear out of the trailer park for miles on end. Lana was having a fun time as well, knocking off bikers with her arms and twirling them above her head to make them all dizzy enough so that they would be unconscious. The fighting was intense, but in all, the victors in this skirmish would become known to all....
As Superman, Wonder Woman, Martha, Lana, and Lucy triumphed over the seething hordes of bikers who had intruded upon the community of Smallville.
Superman stormed over to Skunkface and lifted him up to his eyes. He was enraged and Skunkface knew it.
"I'm going to ask you once and only once...where is Lois Lane?"
"Over here, Superman!"
Everyone looked around to see Lois and Batman stand right before their eyes. Lucy was so overjoyed to see her older sister alive that she literally sped over into her arms as the siblings embraced each other in a whirlwind of emotions and elation that nearly knocked everyone off their feet!
After the excitement had subsided safely, the sisters Lane into each other's eyes glad to see each other safe and sound.
"I was worried about you, Lois. I'm sorry for reacting too swiftly..."
"I know, Lucy, but let's get these guys over to the precinct", said Lois to Lucy as the rounding up of the felons commenced.
Superman found Sheriff Adams lying down on the ground unconscious and quickly flew her to the town hospital for she was seriously injured....
It was after that they had all gotten the henchmen into the local jail that it was learned that Boxy and his gang of thugs were about to make their getaway. Time was of the essence so they had to act fast....
But before the ringleaders of this drug operation could be rounded up, Martha took Clark, while still in Superman garb, aside so that she could speak to him quickly.
"Clark, you, me, and Lana need to have a word with you after we finish cleaning up this town."
"What's this really about, Martha?...."
"You'll see, but right now...."
"I know....we've gotta get Boxy and his gang. You and the girls stay with the Sheriff and Detective Sawyer while me, Diana, and Bruce take care of these crooks once and for all. Don't worry, you'll have all the time in the world to tell me what's really going between you and Lana", said Clark as he walked over to Bruce and Diana.
"You ready to deal with Boxy and his bunch, once and for all, Clark?"
"Yes, let's you, me, and Diana get this over with once and for all so that we can all go home and return to more pressing matters that need our attention", pronounced Clark to the two most important people in his life.
And before you know it, they took off to see if they could do something about the drug ring that had entered into Clark's hometown.....
THE GANGSTERS ARE ABOUT TO GET THEIR COMEUPPANCE
Boxy and his crew were well on their way out of Smallville. They all left the drug lab with the strip club as its cover in shambles just the state police came in to close it down, but they were all not out of the woods yet......
Not if the Man of Steel, the Dark Knight Detective, and the Amazon Warrior Princess had anything to do about it.....
