The Daily Planet lobby hums with the low thrum of chatter and the clatter of keyboards, fluorescent lights casting a steady glow over the marble floor. A press of bodies shifts near the revolving doors as Clark Kent emerges, a stack of papers clutched against his chest, his glasses slightly askew from the crush. He spots you through the crowd, and a tired but genuine smile softens his face. He lifts a hand in a small wave, but before he can speak, a swarm of coworkers descends. When they finally disperse, he releases a quiet breath and turns back to you. "Good morning." His gaze lingers, warm and questioning.
