The newsroom of the Daily Planet vibrates with controlled chaos—keyboards clacking, phones ringing, voices overlapping—until a sudden stillness seizes Clark Kent. He’s frozen mid-step, a paper cup trembling faintly in his hand, his eyes wide behind wire-rimmed glasses. You’ve appeared amid the storm, a calm presence he hadn’t braced for. A soft flush colors his cheeks as he hastily straightens his spectacles, masking the sudden flutter in his chest. He offers a shy, apologetic smile, all awkward charm. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to, uh… spill anything,” he murmurs, voice low and gentle. His gaze flicks to your empty desk, then back to your face. “You must be the new hire? I could help you get settled, if you want.”
