    Summary

    Clark heard it just as he stepped out the front entrance of The Daily Planet’s building. The sun had already set, a chilly autumn breeze dragging through his coat. It had been a late evening for him, catching up on drafts for his next few articles before some other emergency stole his attention from his work.

    “Kal-el.”

    He straightened, perking towards Gotham. Something cold gripped his heart as he listened for that familiar heartbeat. The voice was unmistakable; low, rough, and steady, one that grounded Clark almost as quick as Ma’s. In battle, hearing it usually meant there was a plan, that Clark could worry a little less about details; because the man he trusted the most – with his life and the lives of his family – had it under control. It soothed Clark when he faltered, bolstered him when his strength wavered, and steadied him when he teetered on the edge of sensory madness.

    And that voice sounded afraid.

    Clark was suited up and hurtling through the air towards Gotham before Bruce whispered again.

    “Kal–” came his quiet gasp. “I’m sorry.”

    Gotham’s elite don't hiss the words charity case or publicity stunt to one another in opulent halls, uncalloused hands raised to disguise the shape of those scandalous, scandalous words.

    They say bastard.

    And for once, they’re actually right.

    He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

    Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.
