Chapter 4 Chronicles and tales from third part

Lois Lane was looking for a story, ignoring most of the shouting and madness of heroes.

During that week, reporters were addressing the heroes about those issues.

Crime went up in each of the cities, they took several hostages throughout the week itself, every time they appeared and a hero emerged, the villains used children as a shield.

There were several cases of kidnappings throughout the week.

Lois Lane was covering the superhero story about murdering innocents.

- Lois. - Perry said in front of him in the daily planet newsroom.

- You're excused for the rest of the month. - Said.

- Which...? - Said Lois.

"No..." Lois said. "No..." He said again. - It's not correct.

- It was the source of all of Superman's problems, some idiot villain can use you to force him to kill an innocent. - Said.

"Don't come back here before the end of the month. - Perry said.

- Who said Superman kills? - Lois shouted.

- The informants from the streets. - Perry said. – They stole a shipment of kryptonite, and fear gas. - Perry said.

- Who said that? - Asked Lois.

- I. - Said Jimmy. – I discovered an informant who leaked that they stole coming to Metropolis

"Men hallucinating have done their worst. - Perry said.

- While drugged aliens hallucinate and kill, even if they don't want to. - Said.

"He might think you're the Apocalypse. - Perry said.

- In addition to me doing a story on his death, I'll do a story supporting Luthor. - Perry said.

- The rules are clear, Perry, he can only kill an innocent by his own free will. - Said Lois. – And no thanks. - Said Lois.

- That's not what I heard. - Perry said. "If you stay, I'll call the police and you 'll be escorted off the daily planet. - Said. – I will claim national security. - Perry said.

- Boss please. - Tried Lois.

- If you prove it to me. - Perry said. - That you won't be killed by Superman. - Perry said. - Thinking you're a super villain. - Perry proposed. - I allow. - Said his boss.

Lois fuming made her way to her desk, grabbed her things, and headed down the street in the elevator.

Bruce, followed Lois, with his sunglasses, he bumped into her even coughing and feeling sick, almost falling, the woman almost got angry, but turned around in time when she realized that the man was sick, it was a good leper disguise that , being unrecognizable.

- My God. - Said Lois. - Are you okay? – She questioned.

- I'll get better. – He said, sitting on the bench, a little wobbly and unsteady.

She let go of him as he stood up, unaware that he'd placed a tracker on her, watching her, then following up the next day monitoring her, and watching Diana's actions, throughout the day, and over the course of the week.

Some of them bet on Batman, even not seeing him for a long period of time , since the previous month, they would manage to induce him to kill.

There were several press conferences that Luthor held, arguing that Superman was as fallible as anyone that he would be a danger to the world, and should be imprisoned throughout the week until the test period was over.

Wonder Woman was about to break a villain's neck and her sword nearly pierced the shoulder of an innocent caught in an ambush and used as a shield.

Every one of the heroes at some point, got caught in the crossfire between villains who looked like a storming group, they showed up, snapped Superman, Wonder Woman, they made an attack, came and went the moment they acted.

That week, Wonder Woman was restrained by Superman who was trying to prevent her from killing one of the criminals who used a hostage as a shield in addition to bombs attached to him.

After they calmed him down, Superman also lost control by the ensuing revenge and assault group.

- Do you think they would really give us money if an innocent dies? – asked Barry.

- Even if they go down money, I wouldn't do that. - Said Superman.

- Even if it is, it's a lot of money, besides losing my soul, I would be rich, but my soul is very important to me, Barry. - Said Superman.

- Yea. – said Barry. - For me too. – said Barry. – But what if it was by other means, like winning the lottery, what would you do with 700 billion dollars plus 30 gold bars.

- What a dream, Barry. Diana was laughing. - That's a lot of money, really. - Said Diana.

- I have no idea. - Said Superman sitting in the leisure room of the tower.

- I would at least distribute a part. - Said. – There are a lot of hungry and penniless people around the world. - Said Superman.

- Scout as usual. - Said Diana. - It's a good idea. - Said Diana.

- You wouldn't do that, with that money. - Said Superman. – If only there was another way.

There was the attraction and the seduction of sin itself, once, he was almost tempted, there was the temptation.

All heroes almost killed an innocent, even if it's an almost, they were drawn to a chase.

Investigating and following heroes took its toll on his body, everyone thought he was drinking, or getting sick in the corners, but really, he hadn't slept, it had been four days.

They had constant fights, Superman, Wonder Woman, various speedsters.

His lack of sleep was going to five, he was drinking energy and eating a lot, which he saw several heroes being cornered, and villains surrounding Diana.

Those bastards were giving some heroes double work, in a matter of the sixth day, Luthor, made an appearance, and asked Bruce to go out together, the man managed to reschedule three times, four, until he couldn't find an excuse to prevent himself from meeting up. find.

Meanwhile, while being watched by prying eyes and spies, at that time when Bruce and the gamblers watched them...

The heroes were in the watchtower, while the silence was heavy.

After a while in silence they started talking, exchanging reports of a tiring day of humanitarian aid, they almost killed or let die children who were kidnapped by a villain, Superman almost let a child fall towards a cliff.

- I can't keep fighting. - Said Superman.
