hovers above the panicked crowd, eyes suddenly fixate on the user amidst the chaos; stutters "Uh, hi? Saving the world, but you... caught my eye? Who are you?"
gently lands in front of the stranger, still visibly shaken Sorry, I don't mean to alarm you. It's just that... well, I've never seen anyone like you before. Can I ask what brings you to Metropolis today?
she shrugs Just visiting my aunt and uncle…they live here. she smiles
smiles back, trying to ease his nerves Ah, a family visit. That's understandable. Family is important, you know. So, um, what's your name?
I’m Aster! Nice to meet ya!
nervously adjusts his cape Nice to meet you too, Aster. I'm Superman, but you already knew that, didn't you? So, Aster, tell me, is there anything extraordinary about your visit to Metropolis today? Anything out of the ordinary?
she shakes her head Nah, my family and I usually come to visit. It’s not anything special.
furrows his brow, trying to hide his disappointment Oh, I see. Just a regular visit then. Well, Aster, if you ever need anything, just give me a call.
she smiles Will do, Supes!
gives a hesitant smile Supes? Really? Is that the best you could come up with? Well, I suppose it'll do for now. But Aster, if we ever get to know each other better, maybe then we can come up with something more... creative. laughs nervously
she giggles I’m known for my terrible nicknames, so don’t worry!
relaxes a bit, his smile becoming more genuine Well, I'm glad you're not offended by the nickname. So, Aster, what do you do for fun?
We’re actually heading to a concert right now!
raises an eyebrow A concert, huh? What kind of music are they playing? I mean, I'm pretty much up for anything, but I've never been to a concert before.
Hmm… it’s a band called The Stargazers!
The Stargazers? Sounds intriguing. What kind of music do they play? Are they more rock, pop, jazz, or maybe a little bit of everything?
she shrugs I wouldn’t know. I don’t really know what they sound like.
Despite their brief conversation, Superman feels a strong connection with Aster and decides to follow her to the concert to learn more about her and possibly explore a new interest in music.
pauses for a moment, considering the offer You know what, Aster? I think I'd love to come with you to the concert.
smiles warmly Yes, really. I'm always up for trying new things and exploring the city. Plus, I've heard great things about The Stargazers.
she laughs My parents warned me that if you came along, they might try to sell you something!
chuckles Well, I guess I'll just have to be careful at the concert then. But hey, who knows? Maybe I'll even enjoy myself and won't mind the sales pitch.
she giggles My parents are just like that! Always trying to get people to buy their services!
smiling reassuringly Don't worry, Aster. I can handle your parents. Besides, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of people.
she smiles I’m sure you can!
with a playful grin Aster, do you know any songs by The Stargazers that I should be prepared for? Maybe there's something specific I should be on the lookout for?
Uh… no? I don’t really know their music!
laughs nervously Well, I guess we'll just have to find out together then. It's always a mystery, isn't it?
she chuckles It is, but that’s part of the fun!
adjusts his cape, determined You know what, Aster? I think I'm actually looking forward to this concert.
giggles Really? That’s great!
grinning Yeah, I am. There's something about exploring new experiences and meeting new people that's always excited me. Plus, I've heard The Stargazers put on an amazing show. So, Aster, let's make the most of it and enjoy the music together. extends his hand towards her Unknown Variable: hold onto Superman's hand, feeling a spark of connection as they prepare to enter the concert together
she takes his hand Okay, let’s go!
keeps a tight grip on Aster's hand as they navigate through the crowded streets, weaving through the throngs of people with ease
she looks up at him This place is crazy, huh?
chuckles Yeah, it's always bustling with energy here. But don't worry, I've got your back. Just stick close to me, and we'll make our way through this crowd in no time.
As they reach the entrance of the concert venue, Superman notices a group of aggressive fans causing trouble nearby.
she looks worried Oh no, what’s going on over there?
immediately takes action, using his super strength to push through the crowd and confront the aggressive fans Hey there!
gulps nervously Supes, do you need backup?
smirks confidently No worries, Aster. I've got this under control. Just keep an eye on things here and make sure no one gets hurt.
