Lois Lane-Kent: How did it go Clark, did you find anything?

Clark Kent: ''No... I looked around Metropolis all night, I went to Jimmy's apartment to see if he came back, but still nothing. I even expanded my search through some of the shadier areas of Metropolis hoping he was just trying to get some pictures, but nothing...''

Lois: ''Clark... you need to rest, its been four days since Jimmy disappeared and you haven't stopped looking for him.''

Clark: ''I can't Lois, its not just about Jimmy. You heard about the other disappearances in the city.''

Lois: ''I know about the other disappearances Clark. That's why you need contact the other members of the League to help you know whatever is going on is not normal.''

Clark: ''I know, I contacted Batman this morning and asked him to interrogate Doctor Death when he gets to Gotham about the disappearances. Guardian also agreed to stay and help with the disappearances after I asked him, but sadly Doctor Magnus and the Metal Men left before I could ask them for the help.''

Lois: ''Clark... We will find him.''

Clark: I know we will, we just have to wait.

Superman: How did the integration, did you find anything from Hellfern.

Batman: I'm sorry Superman, but from what Hellfern said after the explosion of the Wayne Tech Battery, he saw Jimmy stumble out of the expo, but afterwards saw nothing.

Superman: ''That can't be true he must be lying, if Doctor Death didn't do anything to Jimmy then where is he!? Why has he not come home in days!? Why is it that multiple people have gone missing since the expo!? WHERE IS MY FRIEND!?''

(Superman's eyes begin to glow red, Nightwing prepares to move to intercept Superman, but Batman stops him)

Batman: Nightwing, No its fine.

Batman: ''Superman, you need to calm down. I know your friend is missing, but if you don't control yourself we will get nowhere in finding him and the other missing people.''

(Superman eyes return to its normal color and he lands on the ground)

Superman: ''I know its just... I don't know anything... This is the first time my friend has gone missing and I haven't heard or seen anything in days.''

Superman: I want information on the recent disappearances and I what it now.

Lex: Someones in a bad mood, is it because someone you love is among the missing.

Superman: Answer the question, Luthor.

(Superman shows anger, but quickly returns to normal)

Superman: ''Your not... lying... you really don't know anything.''

Lex: ''No I do not. Know if you don't mind I am going to go to bed.''
