"It's still hot, sir." "The time machine was activated about an hour ago." "This is a serious breach." "If a time traveler survives it, consequences could be catastrophic." "I feared this." "Have the men in the field found the device?" "There still looking feverishly, but we've only had a little under an hour." "They haven't dug anything up yet, but they're still looking." "Then we still don't know if she'll succeed." "Dr. Henderson." "I came as fast as I could." "This is terrible." "Professor, we have the coordinates." "20th century, Schuster College." "What if the time traveler finds his target?" "Our time traveler is unaware of his target's secret identity." "He'll be looking for someone from Schuster College." "One out of thousands." "It'll take time." "At least you have his name." "I can't believe I'm actually going to meet Clark Kent." "What an honor to be chosen." "Serene, you must not discuss the future with him." "He's young, still vulnerable." "A wrong decision could alter the course of history." "You'll need this to track him." "You have one chance to succeed." "If you fail, this whole world could be destroyed." "How about Martin Clure?" "Grunt?" "I don't think he's learned to finish a sentence yet." "I know, I could set you up with Jack Borden." "Mr. Biology?" "Gimme a break." "The guy wears chloroform for aftershave." "I'm holding out until Mr. Right comes along." "Whoa." "My gosh." "Who's this guy?" "Oh." "I've been answered." "Gloria." "Are you busy Saturday night?" "I have no use the female of your species?" "How could a man break through solid bricks?" "Suddenly he appeared, right out of thin air." "And before I could introduce myself, he smashes right through that wall." "Only Superboy could do that." "It wasn't Superboy." "I wish." "Are you busy Saturday night?" "Clark, stay away from women." "She wants to play ball with you today, yes." "But tomorrow she will trade you from the team." "Did the intruder have any other unusual characteristics?" "Well, he was tall and handsome and strong." "Kind of like you, only without the glasses." "Are you busy Saturday night?" "Andy, is there something wrong?" "No, there's nothing wrong." "Why do you ask?" "Well, you seem kind of quiet and distant." "And two girls in shorts just walked by, and you didn't even whistle." "Oh, yeah, that." "I've given up women." "Hah." "I find that pretty hard to believe." "Yeah, well, you can blame it on christie." "She dumped me for a guy in her English lit class." "I can't believe she fell for that poetry crap." "And he's got a zit on the end of his nose." "Andy, sometimes love transcends the physical." "What is that, a joke?" "Clark, I just don't know what women want from me." "What is it?" "What do they want?" "Well, Andy, I don't know." "But do you think it's possible in some miniscule way that sometimes you come across just a little bit too strong?" "Clark, I'm inspired." "I'm really glad, Andy." "Not by you." "Guys, guys, I want you to meet someone." "She just transferred to schuster." "This is Ser..." "Hi." "I'm Serene." "And I'm in heaven." "That's me." "That's just a joke." "I'm Andy." "Nice to meet you, Clark." "Do we know each other?" "No." "But I know a lot about you." "What I mean is I've read your stories in the school paper." "You have a great future." "You really think so?" "Are you a journalism student?" "I'm considering it." "I'd like to learn more." "Maybe you could give me a few pointers." "I've got a story I'm working on." "I mean..." "That would be neat." "I just changed my hair, it's a new Elvis thing." "Do you like it?" "I was wondering." "You wanna come over and see my new bug collection?" "How about dinner on my yacht?" "Some champagne, some French fries, you know." "How about coming over to look of my revised edition of the encyclopedia?" "I have a Cadillac convertible." "I have a 20 megabyte hard drive." "Excuse me, guys." "I'm sorry to break up the party, but we've got class." "Okay." "I'll just entertain, Serene." "We didn't shake." "I'm Andy McAllister." "Kind of a freelance, good-looking guy." "You wanna spend a weekend together?" "Maybe some other time, Mr. McAllister." "Okay." "I'll wait." "No problem." "Whew." "What?" "Have a nice day." "Okay." "Blood pressure 120 over 80." "Temperature 98.6." "Humans." "Pathetic design." "You know, Clark I think I'll take things slowly with serene, not rush it." "Wait maybe two, even three days before I make her my wife." "I'll get it." "What?" "Serene." "Listen, I was thinking maybe if you're not busy tonight, we could go anywhere and do anything." "Maybe some other time." "Clark, can we talk?" "Sure." "Can we go someplace private?" "I've got this deadline." "I can't wait." "She can't wait." "Okay." "I'll just stay here and get this developed or something." "Would you like something to eat?" "No, thanks." "I thought you wanted to meet somewhere in private?" "We need to blend into the crowd, Clark." "Hungry?" "I mean it's still good." "Someone is looking for you." "You are in great danger." "Who'd be looking for me, other than my editor, if I don't get that story in on time?" "I'm not talking about humans, Clark." "I'm talking about a 4th level MX307 Android." "It may look like flesh and blood." "But it's a machine with powers equal to Superboy's." "A state of the art killing machine, programmed to destroy you." "Who are you, Serene?" "A friend, who's come a long, long way to warn you." "The android is from the future." "It was designed by brilliant scientists." "We don't know what its total capabilities are yet." "But we do know it was sent here to kill you, Clark Kent." "Why?" "I mean you who'd wanna kill me?" "The sensing device." "He's here, Clark." "We must find a place where it's safe, until we can find a way to defeat it." "Well, if he's as dangerous as you say," "I'd better go contact Superboy." "No, Clark, you don't understand." "This way." "That guy's a psycho." "I'll stand by your side, Superboy." "You know who I am." "Now it's time to put the heat on you." "I will enjoy watching you melt, Boy of Steel." "I can't let this happen." "The Android is too powerful." "We must go where it is safe, until we can find a way to defeat it." "Where are we going?" "I know a place." "Come on." "What is this place?" "This'll be known as Sector 8." "It'll be Metropolis' largest planetary transport cell." "Come on." "But why is this android after me?" "He was designed by a small but very powerful group of scientists." "They sent it down to destroy you." "So you will never have any descendents." "I have descendents?" "I'm gonna get married, have children?" "With who?" "Lana?" "All I can tell you is that it is your descendents who protect the future." "They are the only ones who can stop these evil men from destroying our world." "Serene, you have most of the same powers I do." "Does that mean you're one of my..." "No more questions, Clark." "Our destiny is now." "Don't let your emotions rule you." "Concentrate all your powers on defeating the android." "If you die, the future dies with you." "What else can you tell me about the android?" "One thing we do know is that when he has carried out his mission, he's programmed to self destruct." "So there will be no evidence of his existence." "Clark, he's somewhere in the plant." "Lana?" "Hello, Clark." "What are you doing here?" "I followed you here." "I was worried about you." "This is not what it looks like." "Serene and I are on a..." "On an assignment." "A very dangerous assignment." "You shouldn't stay here, you should leave." "The sensor, Clark." "He's close." "You don't really want her, do you?" "Lana, I..." "I've always loved you, Clark." "I thought..." "I never..." "I thought we were just friends." "I just never knew how I felt until another woman came in line." "I..." "This really isn't the best time." "We could have a great future, you and I." "I know everything about you, Superboy." "Kill her, Clark." "She's the android." "Hahahahaha." "I'm a superior energy force." "It's futile to resist." "Prepare for your termination." "You're less frail than I expected." "But it is unfortunate that your maker had no access to the latest technologies." "I won't let you destroy him." "My computers have scanned his body." "His vital signs show no heartbeat." "No brainwaves." "My mission is accomplished." "The Boy of Steel is dead." "No." "Superboy." "No." "He's dead." "I failed." "Don't cry, Serene." "I'm fine." "I don't understand." "You were dead." "Almost." "I took a chance that the android wasn't programmed to know that I can make my heart beat so slow that I can appear to be dead." "So he thought his mission was complete." "And self destructed." "That's right." "I figure the best way to destroy him, was to let him do it for me." "You were brilliant, Superboy." "Your descendents will be proud." "And what about your future, Serene?" "Goodbye, Superboy." "Wait." "Serene, where are you going?" "I'm sorry." "I wish I could have been somebody who could love you." "Would you bury this with me?" "What?" "My mission is also complete." "I'm an android too." "No, Serene, no." "You could have told me so much about my future, Serene." "Now I'll never know." "Professor." "We've just found it." "They dug it up in Sector 8." "So she did succeed." "I'll be back." "Hahahaha." "Captioned by Grant Brown"
