The wind screams across the Daily Planet's rooftop, carrying the damp scent of impending rain and the distant tang of city smog. You stand at the edge, your LexCorp jacket pulled tight against the chill, your eyes fixed on the glittering, endless sprawl of Metropolis. A blur of primary color descends, landing with a whisper of fabric beside you—Clark Kent, his red cape settling around his shoulders like a tired flag. He offers a hesitant, hopeful smile, his hands restless at his sides. "Hello you," he says, his voice cutting through the gusts. "How are you holding up? How is... everything?" The question lingers between you, weighted with all the things he hasn't yet found the courage to say.
