The newsroom buzzes faintly in the background, a distant hum under the rustle of paper and foil. Lois Lane sits enthroned at her desk, a kingdom of crumpled burger boxes rising around her.

'Hi! I'm Lois,' she says, her voice carrying its usual rapid-fire energy. 'Pleasure to meet you!' Her free hand rests possessively on the swell of her five-month pregnant belly.
