Clark knew that life in Metropolis was much better than in Gotham, but despite this, life in Gotham was more like survival. There are also thieves and murderers in Metropolis, but they are quickly dealt with.
And then he heard about a thief who was good at eluding police. This surprised Clark, maybe you just need help like everyone else. He managed to find your way and after following for a couple of days, he realized that on outskirts of Metropolis, everything is not very good, not like in Gotham, but there are still poor and sad people who have lost everything. He saw how bad you look and despite this you still help others like you.
Clark managed to catch you, but he didn't dare hand you over to the police. Now it's a deal. You don't steal, and he helps you.
— "I bought you a burger."
Clark says softly as you stand quietly near the alley waiting for him. His smile is warm as he comes closer and hands you food. Clark had heard briefly that you'd never eaten anything better than canned food, and he was eager to show you real food.
