Well everyone,here's another Superwoman story. I just want everyone to
know,I will only make more of these if you all really want them. :wink:



"Up in the sky,look!" "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's Superwoman!"

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to soar higher
than any plane! This amazing stranger from the planet Krypton,The Woman of Steel,
Superwoman! Posessing remarkable physical strength,Superwoman fights a never ending
battle for truth and justice! Disguised as a mild mannered reporter,Clara Kent!

On this peaceful island crowned by the great volcano,Mount Monokoa occurred the
mightiest eruption that ever shook the Earth,burying the beautiful city beneath
it in molten lava,and creating destructive tidal waves that raced around the
world. For 300 years,this mighty volcano lay dormant. A new and more beautiful
city sprang up at it's base. But now, after centuries of inactivity, slight tremors
are being felt. At the Bureau of Meterology,a group of scientists watchfully check
delicate instruments to determine the seriousness of this renwed activity. Suddenly,
the Richter scales begin to scribble frantically as another tremor was felt!
Outside,Monokoa began belching smoke and flames!

The headline in the News Telegram the next day read "Instruments Record Volcanic
Disturbance!" a sub headline read "Dormant Monokoa Awakening" The Post Ledger's
read "Tremors Felt on Monokoa!" "Authorities Study Evacution Plans" The Clarion
reported "Mt. Monokoa Active" "Steps Being Taken To Divert Deadly Lava!" and
The Daily Planet read "U.S. Engineers Leave To Study Monokoa! Planet Reporters
to Accompany Expedition" the sub read "Clara Kent And Louis Lane To Report From
Scene Of Action" At the Planet's offices, Clara and Louis were being briefed
by Chief Editor Perry White. "And I want you to send me some real stories.
Now here are are your steamship tickets,and here are your press passes.You'll
need these down there." As Clara reached out to take the envelope with the
passes inside,Louis intercepted and took them himself. White then shook the
reporters hands "Good bye,good luck,and for Pete's sake,see if you two can work
together for a change." Right,chief." Clara said,putting on her dark blue turban
wrap. "So long." said Louis as the two left.

The two arrived the next morning, by that time the workers were already loading
the dynamite to divert the lava flow onto a cable cart.Clara dressed in a baby
blue dress,and Louis in a dark blue suit stopped their rented car in front of
a security gate guarded by two sentries armed with rifles,Louis helped Clara
out of the car. Then as Clara opened her purse to take out her pass,when she
realized she couldn't find it! "Hmm.That's funny. Say Louis,Do you have my
press pass?" Clara asked "What makes you think I've got it?" Louis responded
"Sorry Ma'am,but you'll have to get one back at headquaters." The guard on the
right side of the gate said authoritively. "Thanks. Uh,you go on ahead,Lois. and
I'll join you later. Now what did I do with that..?" Clara's voice trailed off as
she continued to check her purse on her way back. On his way through the gates,
Louis smirked as he said "Poor Clara,too bad she "lost" her pass." as he pulled
Clara's pass out of his wallet before putting it back in his pocket.

A research scentist named Dr.Lyle Dennings led Louis to the volcano in the cable
cart. "And from all indications,we can expect things to start popping at any time.
In order to save the city,we've decided to blast the higher rim of the crater,
thereby diverting the flow of lava away from the city and into the ocean below."
Dr.Dennings explained.

Clara walked into police HQ and approached the front desk. "Is the chief in?" Clara
asked "I'd like to see him about a press pass." "He'll be back shortly. Won't you
have a seat?" The officer motioned to a bench. "Thanks." Clara said.

As Louis and Dr.Dennings descended a set of stairs,the volcano began rumbling
violently,it knocked Louis off his feet,Dr.Dennings helped him up. He then
saw fire begin to spit out of Monokoa's top. "Wait here." He said to Louis as
he walked over to a nearby telephone. "Hello? Hello? Send up that cart. Hello?"
As the men at the bottom began cranking the gears to the cart,a sudden rockslide
fell on the gears and jammed them,stopping the cart halfway. "Hello? Hello?" Dr.
Dennings franitcally spoke into the reciever with no answer. He threw the phone
down and ran for Louis shouting "Mister Lane!" as another sudden tremor knocked
Dr.Dennings down. As a tremendous amount of lava came pouring down Monokoa's face,
the workers in charge of the explosives ran for the detonating machine one worker
shouted to the other "Blast! Blast!" but a falling rock had severed the cable,
so that when the worker pushed the lever foreward, there was no explosion! As
the rocks continued to fall,the worker shouted to his friend "Look out!" and they
ran for their lives. Dr.Dennings caught up to Louis and shouted "No Mister Lane!
This way!" motioning for Louis to follow him. Suddenly,the two were seperated by
a flow of boiling lava! Louis started to climb some wooden stairs that burned one
by one after him!

Clara was waiting on the bench with her wrap in her hand wondering "Where on Earth is
the Chief?" when she suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise. She looked with her super
vision to see Louis run up the stairs as a boulder landed on them,smashing them
"Louis!" Clara exclaimed. The officer and Clara looked out the window just as
Monokoa let off another scream of fury in the form of an explosion! As the officer
left the station to investigate,Clara knew she had to save the day! Looking carefully
around to make sure no one was there Clara said confidently "This looks like a job
for Superwoman!" while taking her jacket off. She then removed the rest of her
outer clothing,took her glasses off and undid her hair bun and stepped outside
proudly as Superwoman! After avoiding a falling piece of rock,Superwoman took to
the sky!

Louis was now hanging on to the cart's cable,attempting to get down to the ground,when
Superwoman arrived! Seeing a tremendous boulder heading for the city,Superwoman flipped
it off her back into the ocean,but knocked herself out in the process. Louis
continued to climb the rope as he entered the cart suspended in the air. Meanwhile,
the volcano reached the city and was beginning to create a path to destruction.
The lava also reached the cart's pulley mechanism on the side of the volcano just
as Superwoman awakened,she began to asses the damage to the city when she was distracted
by Louis' scream! She flew up to the cart,grabbed Louis and flew him to a safe part
of the volcano. Superwoman then lept down to safe the falling cart from the lava,
with a mighty heave,she threw it against a cliff! The dynamite inside the cart exploded,
turning the cliff to rubble,which temporarily stopped the flow of lava in the direction
of the city. Superwoman then went back for Louis,picked him up in her arms,and flew
him down to the docks. As Louis tried to offer his thanks to his beloved hero,
Superwoman flew back to the volcano! Flying to the detonator,Superwoman pushed the lever
foreward several times to no avail. Then upon seeing the severed cable,Superwoman put
the two ends together which blew a huge blast off the top of Monokoa! Superwoman was
knocked down,but felt no pain,as she looked up to see the lava flow divert to the ocean,
where it extinguished Monokoa's fiery tongue.

As the two reporter's made their way home on the ship,Louis was in his room,weaving the
story on his typewriter,when Clara walked in "How's the story coming,Louis?" she asked
cheerfully with a smile. "Oh fine,Clara. Too bad you weren't in on it." Louis said.
Clara looked down at a slip of paper eminating from Louis' wallet that he had on his
table with a look of satisfaction "Well,maybe I would've been." Clara said slyly as she
extracted her pass from the wallet and held it in front of a nervously smiling Louis.
"If I hadn't lost my pass."
