After her fight with Tess in the Daily Planet, Lois found herself in a deserted, dusty bullpen of the Daily Planet, and in the streets of Metropolis as she gazed at the red sun. However, she was not entirely alone when the Kandorian Basqat approached her. When Lois told him that the Red-Blue Blur would stop him, Basqat replied that the Blur was dead, as she saw his Kryptonian shield shirt hanging, torn to shreds. Lois was brought to the Kent barn, as a prisoner. She encountered Alia, and subsequently, Clark, who told her everything that happened after her disappearance.
