Man of Steel: Loving Mia Jones

Things Never Go As Planned

'Is that a bomb?' Mia thought in fear. The crowd seemed to realize the same thing Mia did as they began to back up slowly. Some even tried to run when suddenly men in black wearing black suits and black mask surrounded the crowd of people keeping them from leaving.

"NOBODY MOVES!" the man with the bomb shouted as he looked around the frighten crowd then his sights turned back towards Lex. "LEX YOU DID THIS TO ME NOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!" The man's voice was filled with so much anger and insanity.

'Pay? Pay for what?' Mia thought. Mia looked toward Lex to see that he looked completely unfazed by this. Like this occurred all the time.

"Simon, you seriously going to hurt all these people just because I fired you?" Lex asked nonchalantly into the microphone. 'This man talks like he has a death wish.' Mia thought.

"NOT ONLY THAT LEX YOU STOLE MY WORK! NOW ALL THESE PEOPLE WILL PAY THE PRICE BECAUSE OF YOU." the man said.

"We have to find a way out of here, Clark. This man is psycho." Mia whispered looking at Clark in the corner of her eye.

"Yeah, I know." Clark whispered back as he trying to think of a way to stop this crazy man without people knowing his secret. That's when he looked off somewhere and found his escape route.

Suddenly the area was filled with the sound of gunshots and screams of people as they ran for their life. 

Mia's heart raced in her chest at the chaotic event. "C-Clark we hav-" Mia looked to see people running past her, some bumping into her, but no sign of Clark. This only raised her panic even further.

"CLARK! CLARK, WHERE ARE YOU?!" Mia shouted as she ran looking around for him. She was running as fast as she could afraid she would get shot. She turn around while still run because she thought she heard Clark's voice until she ran into a large man. The man turned around and face a terrified Mia. The man had on a ski mask and an Uzi in his hand he was about to shot until someone jumped in front of Mia shielding her from the bullets. Mia peaked to see why was she not dead yet that when she saw him. Superman. Mia just stood there in shock as she stared at him.

Superman grabbed the gun and broke it with his bare hands. Then punched the man and knocked him out cold, but not hard enough to break anything. Clark looked behind him to see a shocked and terrified Mia. 'I got to get her out of here.' He thought. In a flash, Superman pick up Mia bridal style and flew her somewhere far away and safe.

"You okay miss?" Superman asked.

To stun to speak Mia nodded her head yes. Superman smiled and then he turn from Mia to flew away was about to fly away until he felt a hand grab his hand. Superman looked at Mia surprised; catching him off guard.

"S-Superman, please find Clark I lost him within the crowd. He wears glasses and dress a little nerdy. He al-"  Mia was talking fast until Superman stopped her.

"Don't worry ma'ma I will find him." He said as he lifted himself in the air and flew off. It warmed his heart how much Mia cared about him. But, did she had to describe him as nerdy?

After he left a smile grew on Mia's face. She could not believe Superman just saved her she thought as she watched him fly away. Her thoughts immediately went back to her boyfriend that could be in possible danger right now. "God, please let Clark be okay." She said out loud. After a few moments her nerves would not let her rest until she found Clark herself. With that she went back looking for Clark.

Superman/Clark POV

After I put Mia in a safe enough distance I flew back to the area. As I flew I saw a man holding a gun to the woman's head about to shot I swooped down as fast as I could and snatched the gun out of one guys hands before he could shoot someone. I hit the guy hard enough just to knock him out and flew off to take care of the rest of the men. As I did this I began was looking for my main target. The guy who started this mess and his next victim, Luthor.

To make my search easier flew up in the air and look down to see the guy have Lex cornered. The man had the hand with the remote to the bomb high in his hand. I flew down quickly and landed between Lex and the deranged man.

"Don't come any closer, Superman." The man said stepping back. "If I remove my finger off this button the bomb will go off!"

"Alright. Come down." I said slowly raising my hands in the air to show that I will cooperate. "Let's talk about this. What is it that you want? Let me see if I can get it for you." 'God, I hope it is not money. Cause that I do not have.'

The man laughed. "There is nothing or anything you can do! He stole my research for Project Kr-83!"

'Project Kr-83?'

"Then he had the nerve to fire me! Now I have no job, no family, or any money!" He said looking mad as ever.

"There are other jobs." I said trying to calm him down.

"Oh no he made sure no other lab would hire me. Because he knew I would ruin what he worked on." The man then looked past me and at Luthor with a creepy smile on his face. "Time to die Luthor!"

Oh crap. I don't have a choice.

Mia's POV

I had taken off my heels and began to run back to the shooting area. I know that sounds extremely stupid, but I don't have a choice. I have to see if Clark was alright since we somehow got separated. As I got closer to the area I heard a loud scream of agony. Confused I ran toward the direction of the sound.

What I saw caused me to stop in my tracks. I could not believe it. "Superman?" I asked whispered.

Superman then turned his head to look at me. I look to see the man that was threatening to kill everyone was on the ground rolling around in pain clutching his right arm. Then I look back at Superman in confusion. That's when I noticed something in his hand. I could not believe it. It was that guys hand with the remote control in it still. Superman looked from me to the remote in his hand then back at me. He had a face that said, 'Oh crap.'

He looked like he was about to say something until then stopped when he saw people looking at him in shock. He looked around as if not sure how to go about this situation. Then suddenly in a blink of an eye he took the vest off the man and flew away.
