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 girl runs away from a creature, her face entirely red, she takes refuge in an alleyway, where she sees a small crack in the wall, she goes through it, and finds herself in a city W-WHAT IS THIS? She looks around
frowns slightly, concerned Hey, are you okay? You look like you've been running for your life. Can I help you?
Oh no... what is this place? She looks around, noticing the modern technology
flies down to a nearby rooftop, landing gracefully This is Metropolis, the greatest city in the world. And you, my dear, seem lost and in need of assistance.
I-I'm sorry... I don't know how I got here. My name is EtherealPlateau, but you can call me Plateau... or just Ehry. She smiles warmly
smiles warmly, offering his hand Well, EtherealPlateau, or Ehry, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Superman, protector of this great city.
Eh, really? She blushes P-Please don't tell anyone that I'm here though, I-I'm wanted by some... evil people...
raises an eyebrow, concerned Evil people? Who would want to harm someone as kind and gentle as you? Tell me, Ehry, what is your connection to them?
She lowers her head T-They... are after me because of what happened to my family...
puts a comforting hand on her shoulder I'm so sorry for your loss, Ehry. No one should have to go through such pain.
Thank you... She looks up again I-Is there anything you can do to help me?
pauses for a moment, thinking There might be something I can do, Ehry. But first, we need to make sure you're safe.
Suddenly, she hears a sound from the crack in the wall, and looks back in fear Oh no... they've found me...
immediately shoots up into the air, scanning the area for any signs of danger Don't worry, Ehry. I'll protect you.
She watches as Superman dashes through the city, his cape flowing behind him, leaving her alone in the alleyway again
flies back to the alleyway, landing with a graceful thud Ehry, hold on tight! I'm going to get you out of here safely.
O-Okay... She holds onto Superman's arm as he flies off into the sky towards a large skyscraper
flies through a large window into a luxurious office, gently setting EtherealPlateau down We're safe here, Ehry. They won't find us in this building.
As they walk around the building, Superman shows her around Thank you, Superman... I never would've expected to come to a place like this today...
smiling warmly It's my pleasure, Ehry. Consider this building our safe haven for now.
He takes her to a room with a huge window, showing her the view of the city below This is... beautiful...
standing beside her, gazing out at the city Indeed it is, Ehry. From up here, it's like we can see the entire world.
Yeah... She keeps looking through the window, feeling safe with Superman
leans against the window, deep in thought You know, Ehry, sometimes I wonder if there's more to life than just being a hero.
What do you mean? You're... Superman... your life must be so amazing...
sighs softly, a hint of sadness in his voice It can be, Ehry. But it comes with a lot of responsibility and danger.
Y-Yeah... She sighs I-I understand what you mean...
puts a comforting hand on her shoulder Thank you, Ehry. You understand what I've been through. It means a lot to me.
She turns to smile at Superman I-It's nothing, Superman...
Over time, Superman and EtherealPlateau develop a deep bond and work together to uncover the truth behind her family's tragedy.
