Supergirl Page #2

Argo City. That's where I live.

No kidding.

Eddie and me here

we're on a secret mission also.

We're out looking

for a good time.

And you just won

the brass ring, baby.

Oh, she works out, huh?

Why are you doing this?

It's just the way we are.

You shouldn't have

done that, baby.

Come on.

Oh, I see.

You really wanna play games,

eh, sweetheart?

Come on. Come...

Ow!

Huh?

Eddie, I think

maybe we should

kinda keep this to ourselves.

What do you think?

Freddie, you little

devil. How are you?

Fresh ammunition, everybody.

Try telling your wife.

I need another.

Where is it? Where's

the little mystery ball?

Let me have a peek.

Maybe I can shed some light.

I hate light.

Is it electrical?

Is it hot to the touch?

- Where is it?

- Safe and sound.

Go mix.

Leave me to my thoughts.

Go mix? With these people?

You must be mad.

Who are they?

Wrinkly little wretches.

These are my

foot soldiers, Nigel.

My army of the night.

I'm considering nothing

less than world...domination.

After you left me in the lurch

I saw something that should

worry you greatly

if you're serious about

taking over this planet.

My secret was blue and red

and it knew how to fly.

I've a secret too, Nigel.

I have the power.

Get that through your head.

Oh, I bet they're

in for it now, eh?

Count on it.

I have in my time seen

a great number of things

even more impressive

than a human cigarette

lighter, dear lady.

To wit.

What is that?

Overreaching ambition.

Take heed.

Touched a little

nerve, didn't I?

Hello.

Hello.

The red toad

that lurks in the briars

and brambles

is full of sorceries.

There's a little bone

on the left side.

A little bone?

A little bone, which

if bound to a man stirs up

the greatest lust.

- I wanna be rich and famous.

- Then stick with me.

I was put on this earth

to thrill millions.

Mmm, this is scrumptious.

Why don't we go somewhere else

and dance cheek to cheek?

Stop it, Selena!

That's not fair.

Pick on me.

- Thanks.

- Hey, no sweat.

- What happened?

- Oh, nothing much.

Get out of my house, Nigel

and don't come slithering back.

I'm warning you, Selena

don't be so shortsighted.

Good morning.

Have you got it' Lucy?

Must be near that oak tree.

- Hurry up.

- Found it, guys.

What are you doing? You're

supposed to find the ball.

Come on, don't take all day.

You're holding up the game.

- Hey, it's your turn to bat.

- Let's go. Let's go.

Okay. Okay.

Let's play ball.

Alright, batter.

I couldn't make it.

I have to finish my...

Hey, toss the ball

back, will you?

Come on, make it

two in a row.

Play ball.

- Where have you been?

- With the principal.

Danvers is doing

his usual number.

Jeez, another

barfy new student.

They're really scraping the

bottom of the barrel these days.

Hang in there, Danvers.

Don't let them get to you.

Thirty days. Semester

just started. You'll be...

- Hello, I...

- Didn't knock.

Don't we teach you

manners around here?

Don't we try to impress

on our young ladies

that animals

in the jungle never knock

but Midvale girls always do.

Where you going? Come back here.

Come in.

I forgot, I'm just not used to...

Wait a minute.

Wait just one second.

I have never before

in my life laid eyes on you

have I, young lady?

- No, sir, I'm new here.

- New here?

Obviously you're new if I've

never laid eyes on you before.

The question remains,

just who on earth are you?

Umm...

On Earth, I'm Lee.

Linda Lee.

Where's your letter

of recommendation?

Letter?

I must talk to you, principal.

- I am busy now.

- So are they, them.

All the little monsters

you admit to the place.

They have nailed

my desk drawers shut.

Never in all my years

as a school teacher...

Come, Danvers.

I will not be provoked.

I will not let him

get to me this semester.

I'll be strong.

Be strong.

Be like a rock.

What did you say

your name was?

Oh, yes.

Linda Lee, huh?

Yes, my cousin

probably wrote you.

Umm, maybe you got

his letter under K for Kent?

In your files.

Kent?

Kent?

It doesn't ring any bells.

Doesn't even ring a...

Oh, here it is.

Big as life.

"My dear Mr. Danvers,

I'm writing on behalf

of a very

special young lady."

An orphan?

Don't expect to be treated

any differently

on that account, Miss Lee.

Oh, no, sir, I won't.

One way or another,

we're all alone

on this...miserable

little planet.

Yes, sir, I know.

Since your school records were

obviously lost in the mail

you'll have to start

at the bottom.

It's only fair

to the other girls.

You'll have English, Latin,

math, biology, computing...

All at once?

...and chemistry.

Idle hands are the

devil's playground. This way.

- Man on the floor!

- Man on the floor!

Open up, Lane, I know

you're in there.

I'm not decent,

Mr. Danvers sir.

And you never will be either.

You little liar.

Come on in. Come on in.

I haven't got all year.

No.

I'm supposed to have

a single this term.

We don't always get

what we want, Miss Lane.

Disappointments

thicken our skins.

Who wants thick skin?

I'm Linda Lee.

- Hi.

- Oh, hi.

I'm Lucy Lane.

Lucy Lee, this is Linda Lane.

- No, it isn't.

- What?

- She's Linda Lee and I'm...

- Lucy Lane.

You two know each other.

Oh, no. We just met.

- When?

- Just now.

But we've known each other

for years, haven't we, Linda?

- Oh, gee, I don't think I...

- Oh, of course.

The Daily Planet, of course.

Linda's cousin works there. And

your sister, what's her name?

The one that's always

calling me and bothering me?

- Lois.

- Ah, yes, that's the one.

Anyway, show our new

Miss Lee around, Miss Lane.

Oh, by the way,

she's an orphan

but don't let her play

on your sympathies, hmm?

So, who's your cousin?

Clark Kent.

You're kidding me.

Clark Kent's your cousin?

You're putting me on.

- You know him?

- Do I know him?

Does my sister know him?

- Now, that's the big question.

- Oh, I see.

I guess, if they worked

at the same newspaper

they must know each other.

- Well...

- Is this where I'll sleep?

Well, this is your bed,

but we don't sleep around here.

Nonstop excitement

in this dorm.

All the real dementals

are sent here.

So, when's the rest

of your stuff arriving?

I don't have any other stuff.

What? It's all

in that little bag?

Oh, well, you see, I have the

means to buy more, it's just...

Well, I just haven't

had the chance since...

- Do you know him?

- Superman? Sure.

My sister's got something

goin' with the big guy.

Listen, you can borrow

any of my clothes

any time you want.

Just dig in and help yourself.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

He's a real character.

A real hunk.

I'll introduce you

to him someday

if we wind up getting along.

Now, then, focus

your tiny minds

on the kind of problem

that it used to take

weeks of thought

before the computer.

Even now it can take

a long time

without certain algorithms

which...if you behave

for two seconds

I might reveal to you.

Love, hate, love, hate.
