“Where’s Superman going?” Jimmy asked, watching Superman fly off. “Is he running away from Metallo?”
“No,” Lois said. “He’s luring him away from here. Look!” She pointed.
Metallo was following Superman. Though he couldn’t fly, he could run at an incredible speed and leap great distances. Superman watched the cyborg below him, making sure he didn’t fly so fast that he risked leaving Metallo behind.
As Superman flew over Hob’s River, he saw Metallo vault over the water and land on the opposite riverbank. WHOMP!
When he reached the marshlands a few miles outside Metropolis, Superman landed on an outcropping of stone and scrub. There were no buildings or people in sight.
