Who: Lois Lane and Oliver Queen
What: Lois looked up Superman’s death on google. Cue freakout.
When: Today at some point
Where: Watchtower
Warnings: Angst. Maybe some language?
The Clark Kent in this world and the one from her own had their differences, but there was one thing Lois knew she could count on from whichever version of Clark that she came across. If he promised something he would do it and if he didn’t promise something it was because he knew he wouldn’t be able to do it. She was pretty much the same in regards to promises, so when Clark hadn’t promised that he didn’t die during their earlier conversation, Lois did the only thing she could do to get to the bottom of it: she googled.
She had been really good about not researching anything in the lives of any of her friends or herself. She didn’t want to know the future when she was still trying to come to grips with so many of the revelations she’d been given when first arriving and really, it was fine not to know what happened in her future. She’d live it eventually. Why ruin the surprise? Except she couldn’t leave this one alone, wouldn’t, and regretted it as soon as the answer was on the screen.
Doomsday.
Doomsday killed Superman.
Doomsday was who her own Clark was supposed to be going head to head with back home. Doomsday was who Chloe was hiding. Putting all of the information together and all Lois could come up with was that Clark was going to die.
Clark was going to die and she’d never been able to tell him how she felt. Not really. That confession when they had been kidnapped by a madman didn’t count. It would be her luck that she’d be the one Lois Lane in all the multiverses not to actually end up with Superman.
Lois excused herself from the main area of Watchtower, keeping herself in check so as not to worry Chloe before heading out to sit in the stairwell. She made sure she was outside of the view of any cameras before she finally let herself cry.
