Heeeey, Yoooou Guuuuys!

~In A Tight Spot~

Bad things happened to heroes. That wasn’t news. Steph had been threatened, beaten up, and kidnapped (once by her own dad), and a couple times the bad guys had tried to kill her. None had succeeded, and even during the other stuff she hadn’t felt like she was in a huge amount of danger. Well, not most of the time. There was always Batman or Batgirl or Robin on the way. Plus the people who tried to hurt her often underestimated her, and that worked to Steph’s advantage. Especially as Robin—the bad guys were too busy laughing at a blonde Robin with boobs, and they let down their guard enough for her to get her licks in.

Now, though, she was scared. After standing up and moving her arms rhythmically within the limits of the cuffs, she got enough feeling back to try working on escaping. First she took stock of her situation. The cuffs were welded to a chain that ran up to a high ceiling somewhere in the darkness overheard. She was nauseous from the blow to her head, and aching all over from the fight earlier and hanging unconscious by her wrists. Her kit was gone, including the lock-picks normally stashed in her gauntlets. She just had her costume itself and her wits.

After a few moments, Steph realized why this situation frightened her so much. It wasn’t being held captive, it wasn’t waking up alone in a big dark room and having to wonder what the bad guys wanted. It was a small detail: the welded cuffs. Someone had taken the time and trouble to weld a set of steel handcuffs to a chain. That meant they used this setup a lot, and didn’t want any chance of someone slipping away.

It meant this might’ve been an unplanned capture, but whoever had her had done this before.

Heeeey, Yoooou Guuuuys!

The Muse is demanding that I back up my facts with a re-read of Superman Returns for this

12days_of_clois fic. Most especially anything that explains specifics about the article Clark read about the 'return of Krypton' or what Lois did to find him after the fact. The suck? My copy is in storage. I wanted to see if, before I either go dig it out of huge boxes of books at the MIL's or go buy another copy for cheap, if anyone has one that's digital? Anyone have an ebook or a version saved to file?

*puppy-dog eyes*

ETA: Oh, yeah! New spoiler in the sidebar. :D And expect the next half of the write-up for the weekend tonight. The Muse hijacked me this morning.

I have my copy of the novelization right here. Anything specific you need to know, that I can look up right quick?

I haven't read it in so long that I can't remember any of the specifics. The explanation in the beginning of why he left, any explanation in Lois' on how she reacted.

I wish I had mine at home.

Okay. I already found the flashback with him talking to the scientists about their discovery. I'll type that up and send it along, with anything I can find about Lois's search for him. Might be a while, though, since we have a plumber mucking about looking for leaks at the moment. :/

Anything you can send would be awesome, love. It's just seriously annoying to realize that all of that stuff is in storage when you need it.

Yup! It's by Marv Wolfman. There's a link to the book on Amazon in the comments below.

...There's a book version?

OMG DO WANT

Yep: Link to the book on Amazon.

Be warned, it differs from the movie in that it doesn't have the revelation about Jason's true parentage (probably to prevent spoiling audiences before the movie came out), and there's a buttload of extra material, including flashbacks to Jor-El and Lara's life on Krypton, the Return to Krypton sequence, and lots more on Lex's plot o'doom. Fun stuff. :D

And Lois, I know Saavi's already volunteered to check the book, but if you need anyone else to join in the research pool, I'd be happy to help as well.

Thanks, my darling. My biggest problem is that I need to know the specifics of what sent him off to find Krypton and if and how Lois tried to find him afterwards. I'm trying to play this as close to movieverse as possible.

this is totally random, but I couldn't help but think of you!

Jodelle Ferland cast in Eclipse.

Actress Jodelle Ferland has been cast in the third Twilight flick, Eclipse, as a “vampire who has just been turned,” according to Variety. Ferland was recently seen in the CBS TV movie Pictures of Hollis Woods and will star alongside Renee Zellweger in the feature thriller Case 39. Although relatively unknown, the Canadian-born 14-year old has appeared in a variety of projects, including Terry Gilliam’s Tideland, the movie Silent Hill, and the TV series Supernatural.

XD

*huggles* Miss you!

I may not be a fan of Twilight, but this is great news! I get the feeling Jodelle does the parts just simply because she likes the characters, not because she wants to be famous or rich. Another way she reminds me of Margot. I may have to break out and go see the film for that reason alone.

OMG, it kills me that she's 14 now. I remember when she was just a baby! *snugs her Kal*

And I miss you, too, Katness. *snugs her Kitty-Kat*

after reading the spoiler i am trying to think of every 'dark-skinned woman' lois has come in contact.

kalalanekent on August 8th, 2009 06:34 am (UTC)

Don't think too hard because she's canon, but rarely seen. Lois has only seen her a few times, but the woman is question is just that striking.

Hey random thought stuck on a random post. What about Jon Kortajarena for Sebast? He's a Spanish model.

kalalanekent on August 8th, 2009 06:32 am (UTC)

Oooh, now that's veeeery pretty. You are swaying me here, lady. I wonder how long this boy has been modeling. Hmmm. Can we find younger pics of him?

On the search! The earliest I've found so far are from around 2004, but I'll keep looking :).
