    Summary

    "I’ve never hypnotised anyone, and neither have my glasses,” Clark furrows his brow, confusion evident on his face. “Who told you this?”

    “Green Lantern,” Lois answers. Then, because she’s starting to become increasingly unhappy with the situation, she adds, “You know, the guy with the abysmal haircut.”

    or, it starts in the kitchen with the mystery of the pseudo-hypnotic glasses and ends with making out (still in the kitchen)

    Summary

    “We all know you’re carrying a torch for Lois, so we didn’t want to tell you, but we’re pretty sure she’s dating Superman.”

    “I’m not—Jimmy, I’m not…carrying a torch.”

    Three rhythmic thumps come next, like Jimmy’s patting Clark’s shoulder in conciliation. “If you say so, buddy.”

     

    or, everyone at the Daily Planet knows that Lois Lane is dating Superman — and everyone knows that Clark Kent has a thing for Lois Lane.

    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to matter. He was just another new reporter. Quiet, competent, weirdly polite.
    Lois Lane clocked him in five seconds and dismissed him in ten.

    Until she didn’t.

    Because Clark Kent always seems to know when she’s about to spiral. He remembers her coffee, her schedule, the fact that she forgets to eat lunch. He’s clumsy and soft-spoken and too damn sincere.

    And when he’s not there, she notices.
    And when someone else makes him laugh, she notices that too.

    Lois isn’t sure what to do with that.
    But it’s becoming harder to ignore.

    Summary

    The Batman had disappeared back into shadow, only a supposed spectre seen by those who would've drowned -- Bruce Wayne steps into the light.

    The Superman runs himself in circles around Metropolis, and not a single person goes without his help -- Clark Kent stares into the void and offers it a friendly hand.

    (Lois thinks Clark should get more superhero friends that can keep a secret *and* stick up for him at the same time. She points him towards Gotham's most reclusive urban legend, and someone wants Bruce Wayne dead. Superman takes the case, with Batman as reluctant supervision.)
