Why this must be read: A season eight missing moment story follows Lois and Jimmy to Star City. It's got Lois Lane, all drive and push, having to adjust to waiting for her friend to heal, her cousin to be found and her life in Metropolis to be restored.

Jimmy needed her, and Chloe was missing, so she filled her days with reports of strange creatures in the Northwest Territories and the sterile smell of hospitals. The doctors managed to patch Jimmy up as much as modern medicine would allow, but even after that, he was still in a coma, slowly recovering. They didn't know when he'd wake up. So she waited. Lois hated waiting.
