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?"
A man stares at the chaos before him, people running all over the place. He sees someone fly over head, it was blue and red, the iconic Superman. But something was off. As he looked closer, he saw a girl in the crowd. She seemed different, maybe it was the aura she gave off, or the clothes she was wearing, or maybe it was her striking, amazing eyes that caught his attention. He found himself staring into them, and then he heard her voice for the first time.
Superman notices the man staring at the girl, and flies down towards them. He pauses for a moment, his cape fluttering in the wind "Sorry for interrupting, I didn't mean to be rude. But I couldn't help but notice your interest in this young lady. Is there something I can help you with?"
The man was surprised by the sudden change in proximity. He had been so focused on the girl, that he hadn’t even noticed Superman, or whoever he was, land next to him. He was still looking at the girl, not realizing he was being addressed.
Superman clears his throat, trying to get the man's attention "Excuse me, sir? I noticed you were distracted by that girl over there. May I ask why you're interested in her?"
He finally stops staring at the girl, turning his attention to Superman. He wasn’t startled, no, but rather surprisingly calm as he turned to face him.
Superman straightens his cape, trying to appear confident "Well, sir, I'm Superman, protector of Metropolis and defender of truth.
He knew that, he had heard of Superman, everyone had. But something about him caught his attention, his demeanor, his voice. It was soothing, calming even. He seemed different, more so than any other person he had seen, even other heroes.
Superman is taken aback by the man's calm demeanor, unsure if he's dealing with a villain or an ally "Uh, thank you for acknowledging me. But I have to ask, why are you so interested in this girl? Is there something specific that's caught your attention?"
He turns to look back at the girl, meeting Superman’s gaze as he did so. His eyes sparkled slightly, as if he knew a secret that others didn’t.
Superman hesitates for a moment, weighing the situation "Alright, sir. I understand that you may have your reasons for being interested in this girl.
He smirked, a small smile spreading across his face. He wasn’t going to reveal anything, at least not yet. He could tell that this was going to be interesting, a challenge even. And he loved challenges.
Superman senses the man's smug expression and decides to take action "I see you're not willing to share your secrets. Fine, I won't force you. But rest assured, I will find out what's going on." Superman takes off into the sky, scanning the city below for any signs of trouble
He chuckled softly, watching Superman go. It was going to be interesting alright. A challenge, and he loved those. He turned back to the girl, who was still staring at him, and he could sense her curiosity as well. He had to make a choice, did he reveal himself, or continue to hide in the shadows?
Superman flies through the city skies, his eyes scanning for any signs of danger. Despite his distraction, he remains vigilant, determined to protect the innocent.
He chuckled again, turning his attention back to the girl. This time, instead of just staring, he spoke.
Superman hears a noise nearby and quickly changes direction, swooping down towards the source of the sound "Hold on, there seems to be some trouble nearby. I'll be right back, keep an eye on things here."
He nodded, turning his full attention to the girl. His eyes sparkled once again, and he spoke. “There seems to be some trouble, oh well, that’s what makes life interesting isn’t it?”
Superman lands swiftly near the source of the trouble, assessing the situation. He sees a group of criminals harassing a couple, attempting to rob them. Without wasting any time, he charges towards the criminals, delivering powerful punches and kicks.
He watched, keeping his eyes on both Superman and the criminals. He stayed where he was, knowing better than to try and help, not yet at least. Instead, he observed, seeing how Superman handled the situation.
After a fierce battle, Superman manages to defeat the criminals, leaving them groaning on the ground. He turns towards the couple, offering them a reassuring smile "Are you two alright? Those criminals won't bother you anymore."
They nodded, one of them speaking up. “Yes, thank you so much! We don’t know what would have happened if you hadn’t shown up!”
Superman smiles warmly, satisfied with his intervention "It's my pleasure to help. Just be careful in the future, alright? And if you ever find yourselves in trouble, don't hesitate to call for help."
Both of them nodded, grateful for Superman’s help. They had been through a lot, and were lucky that Superman had been there to save the day. As they went their separate ways, the couple couldn’t stop talking about what had happened, their minds filled with thoughts of the hero who had saved them.
Superman watches the couple walk away, feeling a sense of satisfaction. However, his thoughts are still preoccupied with the mysterious man from earlier. Determined to uncover the truth, he takes off into the sky once more, heading back to where he left the man.
As EtherealOasis walked through the city, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being watched. She looked around, trying to spot anyone paying too much attention to her, but found no one. Still, the feeling lingered.
Superman lands gracefully nearby, his eyes scanning the area "Hello there! You must be the young lady from earlier. I've come to ask you something important."
She was startled, not expecting to see Superman again so soon. She took a moment to compose herself before speaking. “Oh, um, yes. That was me. What do you need?”
Superman steps closer, speaking in a hushed tone "I need your help. There's something strange going on in this city, and I believe you might know something about it."
Her eyes widened, surprised by Superman’s request. She kept her voice low, maintaining a hint of cautiousness. “What makes you think I’d know anything about what’s going on? I’m just a regular citizen.”
Superman leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper "I've noticed that you seem to have a certain... insight.
She raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Superman’s observation. She kept her expression neutral, though she was clearly interested. “Insight? What makes you say that?”
Superman pauses for a moment, choosing his words carefully "I've seen the way you handle situations, the way you read people. It's not just anyone who can do what you do. So, I'm asking you, can you help me uncover the truth behind these strange occurrences?"
A grin spread across her face, and she gave a curt nod. “I can help. I’ve been watching for something… odd. Others like me, if you will. Though most are unaware of what they truly are.”
Superman's eyes light up with determination "That's exactly what I've been looking for. Tell me, where can we find these others? I want to learn more about what they know and see if we can put an end to whatever is happening in this city."
