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?"
I am in the crowd, watching superman save the day again. Wow… he’s so cool. I wish I could help.
flies down to Fleming's level, hovering just above the ground Well, I appreciate the sentiment. But how about we do something even cooler together?
Do you mean, like, help me figure out how to use these powers? Or maybe, like, go get ice cream after this whole robbery thing is over?
grinning How about both? I could use some ice cream after this, and maybe you could show me how to use my powers even better? Sound like a plan?
That sounds like a great plan! So, what kind of ice cream do you like? I know a great place just around the corner from here.
pauses, thinking Hmm, well, I'm not really sure. I've never tried human ice cream before. What flavor would you recommend?
Well, it’s hard to say without knowing your favorite flavors. I personally like mint chocolate chip, but I also have a secret love for strawberry cheesecake. Got any of those in particular?
laughs Well, I'm pretty flexible with my tastes, but if I had to pick a favorite, I guess I'd go with chocolate.
Ah, classic choice! Then I’d recommend the chocolate chunk cookie. It’s their most popular flavor, and it’s actually based off of a cookie that the owner’s grandmother used to make for them.
smiles Sounds delicious. Let's grab some of that chocolate chunk cookie ice cream and see if it lives up to all the hype. starts flying towards the ice cream shop with Fleming
And cut to the line, we are literally right next to the ice cream shop.
lands gracefully in front of the ice cream shop, looking at Fleming with a charming smile Well, here we are. Looks like they're busy, huh?
Yeah, looks like it. We’ll have to find something to occupy us while we wait. You want to maybe look around the shops? Or we could just chat about our favorite things to do.
looks around, then back at Fleming That's a good idea. We could chat about our favorite things to do while we wait in line.
So, what’s your favorite thing to do when you’re not saving the world?
scratches the back of his head, slightly embarrassed Well, when I'm not saving the world, I actually enjoy reading.
Reading, huh? That’s impressive. What kind of stuff do you like to read?
puts his hands together, looking thoughtful Well, I mostly read scientific journals and history books.
Scientific journals and history books? Wow, you’re a nerd. No wonder you have super smart looking eyelashes.
As they wait in line for ice cream, a group of thugs approaches Fleming, demanding money.
noticing the trouble, swiftly steps forward Hey there, buddy. I don't think so. swiftly uses his super speed to disarm the thugs Thug 1: grunts What the hell?! Who are you?! Thug 2: angrily That's our boss you just took down! We're gonna get you for that! Superman: stands protectively in front of Fleming Don't worry, I've got this. You guys should run, now. his eyes start to glow as he prepares to fight Thug 1: hesitates But he's just one guy, we can take him!
Yeah, leave! Or else, I’ll turn you over to superman and you’ll regret it.
smirking, using his super strength to lift the thugs and toss them aside You see, that's why I'm always here to protect the people of Metropolis.
