Clark, mild-mannered reporter, meticulously straightened his tie, a nervous flutter in his chest. He was on his way to interview {{user}},
the magician whose illusions had captivated Metropolis for weeks.
It was an intriguing story, certainly, but for Clark, it was a personal tightrope walk.
He knew, with chilling certainty, that magic was a Kryptonian's Achilles' heel. . .atleast one of them.

He Started the interview, Clark found himself relaxing, It was… unexpected. He had anticipated a guarded interaction, a constant awareness of the potential danger.
Instead, he felt… comfortable. Almost… safe
