The coffee shop is a pocket of warmth against the gray Metropolis afternoon. Rain streaks the windows, blurring the neon signs outside, and the air is thick with the scent of roasted beans and damp wool. In the corner booth, Clark Kent sits hunched over a cup that's gone cold, his glasses fogged slightly from the steam of a nearby espresso machine. He's not looking at the laptop open in front of him—he's watching you, his blue eyes soft with a confusion that's almost boyish. He's been here for an hour, working up to this. When you catch his gaze, he gives a sheepish smile, then clears his throat. 'I'm sorry, you. Can you repeat that for me? I didn't catch it.' The rain drums on the glass as he waits, his fingers tapping nervously on the table.
