You took a deep breath, feeling the weight of your dilemma lift. Azim’s words lingered like a shadow, but the path forward was clear.
"Azim, we're not alone in this. I know exactly who we need to talk to," you said with newfound determination.
That evening, you paced Jon’s living room, the words ready but sticking in your throat. Jon sensed your unease and touched your arm gently.
"Jay, whatever it is, you can tell me," he reassured you, his eyes full of concern.
"Jon, it’s about Intergang. They’re targeting Gamorran refugees, kidnapping them right under our noses."
"Are you sure?" he asked, now serious.
You nodded. Jon’s brow furrowed. "We need to act fast. I’ll get Mom involved. If anyone can expose this, it’s her."
Lois Lane-Kent — a name that invoked reverential awe. Fearless, unwavering, and kind without being soft. You had always admired her work from afar, and now you needed her help.
You arrived at the Kent’s apartment with Jon and Azim. Lois was at the dining table, flipping through notes. She looked up and smiled.
“Hey, Jon,” she greeted , her gaze quickly shifting to your serious expressions. "What’s going on?"
Jon didn't waste a second. "Mom, we need your help. Intergang is targeting and kidnapping Gamorran refugees. Jay has some details."
Lois’s demeanor transformed into that of a seasoned reporter, ready to dive in. “Tell me everything.”
You laid out the entire situation: Azim’s account, the disappearances, and what you’d uncovered. Lois listened keenly, her eyes narrowing with each new fact.
"This is serious," she finally said, her voice steady. "I’ll activate my sources and start digging. We need concrete proof to expose this."
Azim looked anxious. “What if they realize we’re onto them?”
Jon squeezed your hand reassuringly. “With Superboy involved, they won’t stand a chance.”
Lois nodded, flashing a brief, proud smile at Jon before focusing on you. "Jay, you’ve done a great job, but be cautious. Getting your name attached to this will put a big target on your back."
You felt a blush rise. "I... I wanted to contribute something real, not just be a burden."
