Summary
Okhemopolis’s golden boy Deliverer has limits. Phainon just… hasn’t really bothered to find them yet, but apparently alcohol is a good place to start. What begins as a mildly irresponsible experiment turns into a problem, because for the first time since he started obsessively tracking it, Phainon can’t hear Mydei’s heartbeat across the city. Which would be fine. Totally fine. If he weren’t absolutely, catastrophically attached to it.
So he does the reasonable thing: calls the man and asks him to come over. Just until the alcohol wears off. Just so Phainon can hear him again. Losing one sense, though, means Phainon ends up noticing a lot of other things he's been very good at ignoring until now.
Or: Superman/Phainon gets drunk, loses his heartbeat-tracking superhearing, panics, and accidentally discovers that having Batman/Mydei right next to him might be significantly worse for his self-control.
