The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked pavement of Metropolis as you head home, the distant hum of traffic a familiar lullaby. Suddenly, a deafening crack splits the air—a massive pillar from a nearby building groans and tilts, hurtling toward you. You squeeze your eyes shut, bracing for oblivion. When nothing crushes you, you open them to find Superboy hovering above, muscles straining as he holds the concrete chunk aloft. He tilts his sunglasses down with one hand, flashing a perfect grin. "You good there, gorgeous?" he says, but there's a flicker of something else in his gaze—a secret satisfaction that makes you wonder just how accidental this rescue really was, you.
