Summary
The story follows a young Clark Kent, still new to Metropolis, still unsure of himself, and still hiding the full extent of his powers, with comedy and sexual tension. When he’s assigned to cover a Wayne Foundation gala in Gotham, he meets Bruce Wayne for the first time and... Batman, who inspires him to embrace his power and become Superman.
Bruce asks Clark to dinner, possibly, eventually to be something more. Each "exploratory evening", as Bruce called it, fueled a growing tension between them that is starting to become harder to ignore. Clark is disappointed to learn, however, that while Bruce was obsessed with Clark, Batman wanted nothing to do with Superman. He's left wondering how a relationship could work when he knows Bruce's most hidden secret, and Bruce is in the dark about his. Yet, despite this emotional turmoil, Clark finds it harder and harder to ignore the tension and his desire to touch Bruce in ways that exceeded all sense of professionalism.
