Title: Summer
Plot: In Metropolis one bright summer day, Superman is patrolling the streets when he hears a strange noise. Flying high above the city to investigate, he comes face to face with a rocket that he pushes back away from the city, out of the atmosphere, and into the cold of space just moments before it detonates. After taking a moment to admire the view of the Earth from space, Superman flies back down, waving at the passengers of a passing plane as he dives under the ocean to find the submarine that fired the missile. On board the sub chaos reigns as Superman brings the vessel out of the water, causing great nervousness to a women draped in silhouette.All of this action occurs in the presence of a nearby Lexcorp boat, who radio Lex Luthor so that he can be present at the Metropolis Air Base when Superman brings the sub in. Superman tears through the hull and orders the soldiers inside to surrender. They quickly comply save one, the commander, who grabs the woman from the shadows, who we now see is Lois Lane, and holds her hostage. Lex Luthor starts to try to negotiate but before he can act Superman disarms the terrorist. Lois then takes the soldier out with a swift kick. Lex offers to give Lois a ride back to the Planet so she can work on her story, but she asks Superman to fly her there instead. When he drops her off on the roof of the building, Lois warns Superman to be careful of Lex, but Superman does not heed her warning. As Lois returns to the newsroom she encounters Clark Kent and they exchange snide remarks.Back in his apartment Clark is alone and, looking at a picture of his friends, he decides to visit home: Smallville. After greeting Pa out in the field, the family settles in for dinner, talking a bit about how their dog Shelby is getting older. The next day Clark goes to visit Lana but she is gone. Pastor Linquist is there tending to the house now that Ruth, Lana's aunt, has died, and the preacher tells Clark how proud the people of Smallville are of him... for becoming such a successful journalist. At the general store later Pete Ross tells Clark about the few postcards he received from Lana and how he regrets not leaving town as the two of them did. That night Clark tells his mother about how out of place he feels at times in the city, how he expected to feel at home in Smallville and how that didn't happen because of all the changes. Martha reassures him that he'll find his way soon enough.Back in Metropolis a chemical factory that Luthor had planned to buy is in flames and Luthor's security drones are attempting to put out the fire. Superman arrives and although the drones say the building is clear he finds a woman unconscious amongst the flames and rescues her right before putting out the fire. Lois is there to interview this woman, a chemist at the plant named Miss Vaughn, and her words, 'He is my angel,' become the headline for Lois's front page story. The next day Lex Luthor appears at the apartment of Miss Vaughn (which is a virtual shrine to Superman) with a proposition for her on how they together can help Superman.
