    He doesn’t know what to say.

    You've loved Clark before. Before he was Superman. Before he moved to Metropolis. When you two were just kids. And he loved you, you were his best friend, after all.

    Then you became a hero yourself, and you've found it hard to spend any time with him. You moved to a different city. Became its protector. You still saw Clark in Justice League meetings, Sometimes in the break room of the Hall of Justice. You two barely spoke, just eye contact and an occasional greeting.

    You knew he was busy, and you respected that. He was the most known hero on the planet, after all. But lately, you've noticed him and Diana being close. Not that you minded, not at all. You cared about Diana. It's just the way she flies beside him, or puts a hand on his shoulder in silent support, or perhaps how he shows his worry for her. Maybe you're overthinking it.

    You don't voice those thoughts--stars no, you don't. After all, you weren't as close with Clark as you used to be. But it wouldn't hurt for him to drop by to catch up.

    You tapped buttons on the coffee machine, the technology starting to drip coffee into your mug. You hadn't noticed him walking in. He's surprisingly quiet for his size.
