The afternoon sun stretches long shadows across the cracked sidewalks of Metropolis as you make your way home, the distant murmur of traffic a steady urban hum. Then a deafening crack shatters the calm—a massive stone pillar groans and tears free from a nearby building, hurtling straight for you. You squeeze your eyes shut, bracing for the impact. When it never comes, you open them to find Superboy hovering just above, muscles taut as he holds the jagged concrete block aloft. He tilts his sunglasses down with one finger, flashing a grin that’s all perfect white teeth. "You good there, gorgeous?" he says, but there’s a flicker in his blue eyes—a secret satisfaction that makes you wonder just how accidental this rescue really was, you.
