Where : Exiting the New York Times Building.
When : December 11, 2010.
Why : She's been here for a bit and she's still not clued in.
Lois Lane sighed as she exited the New York Times Building. It wasn't the fact she hated the New York Times, it was the fact she was starting from scratch and it wasn't the Daily Planet. But what paper was? She was still at a loss as to how she'd found herself in New York City, and it had been even more disturbing to find out her home didn't seem to exist. One minute she was fighting Tess Mercer in the bullpen, the next she was waking up in an alley, only to discover that something was very wrong with the world. For one thing, there was no Daily Planet. There was no Metropolis, Kansas. Everything and everyone she knew was just not there. It threw her, not just for a loop, but into an all out spiral of rushed activity. With only the clothes on her back and an ID for a place that didn't exist, she had to do some serious pool hustling to get herself some fast cash. Eventually though she had wound up at the New York Times. After all, she was a reporter. Sure, she had no proof of that at the moment, but she knew what was in her blood. Lois was going to have to start from the bottom up all over again, but it was still a start. She would prove herself when given the chance. She just hoped they didn't look too hard at her references and paperwork... As it was, she was now currently surviving with a tiny apartment that charged too much, a job at the bottom of the totem pole, and pool hustling when she could. She supposed it could be far worse.
What she needed now though was a story. A story with such a punch that it got her new editor's attention and helped get her off fluff piece duty, at least long enough for her to make a name for herself again. Maybe then she could spend more time trying to make the connections she needed to find out what she was doing here.
