<div class="floatleft">(http://filmphage.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/man-of-steel-cavill.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;">Name: Superman/Clark Kent<br/>Location: Metropolis<br/>Tag: Lois Lane</span><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Romances forged in the heat of the moment burned brightly, but they also burned out quickly. Such was the fate of the romance of Clark Kent and Lois Lane. The career woman had lusted after the powerful man of steel, the fantasy of any woman come true, in all his dashing, heroic and gorgeous glory, with his otherworldly origins and his mind boggling powers. But when it came to actually dating, sitting down together and spending more time  with one another than a few heated, stolen kisses when the fate of the world was at stake, the woman found herself floundering.<br/><br/>Her career was her everything and the gorgeous alien in the package of the adorable dork in plaid at the Daily Planet was nothing for a long term relationship.<br/><br/>Clark felt much the same, when he discovered Lois and himself were incompatible in real life. They parted as friends and became a ferocious team of coworkers that filled the newspaper with daring stories and pertinent revelations. They became an award winning investigative team within a month of Clark joining the Planet, thanks to an article on corruption in city hall. They didn't even need to use stories on the freshly baptised Superman, flying around the world, saving people and averting disasters left and right.<br/><br/>Clark lived in Metropolis now, with an occasional visit to Smallville, but Superman belonged to the world and did not prefer any city over another. He rarely involved himself in crime fighting, except when there was a high danger of collateral damage, or if he could intercept a possible killing or murder. The secret of his identity was safe, too, after he made an agreement with general Todd, the officer in charge of the whole Kryptonian invasion situation from four months ago. The only ones who knew for sure were Lois Lane and Martha Kent. Plenty of people in the small village of Smallville probably suspected, and even around the world, people knew Superman had been around them, as the mysterious drifter who saved lives but always disappeared. The latter didn't know him as Clark, though and had never seen him without a beard. Those who suspected in Smallville were unlikely to talk, either, for most of them owed their lives to him.<br/><br/>His new life as Clark Kent, star reporter, was exciting. He also, finally, knew his origins and he had found his lot in life as a saviour and a symbol for mankind.<br/><br/>This did not change the fact he was still alone...<br/><br/>Even if left and right, mutants, meta humans and vigilantes were crawling out of the woodwork so to speak. The government was even forming an organisation called SWORD, under General Todd to investigate this new phenomenon and to prepare the world for the next otherworldly threat. One thing was for sure... Mankind was no longer alone and much they had believed in had proven untrue in the past month.<br/><br/>Now, a year after the events of the first Kryptonian invasion, thwarted when Clark banished them all, including Zod, back to the Phantom Zone, six months after the appearance and subsequent disappearance of Supergirl and a year after his first kiss with Lois Lane, he had been invited by the Justice League to become a member. He had accepted reluctantly. He was a loner. A powerhouse. He wanted to be a symbol, not affiliated to any government or organisation. He just wanted to help.<br/><br/>For now, the Justice League appeared to share his goals.<br/><br/>Still, he was wary, untrusting, even suspicious and cautious, so he had asked his ex girlfriend to compose a file on them. After a rescue in India -earthquake again- he flew back to the Daily planet and landed on the rooftop. He still loved Lois. He never stopped. Their lives were just incompatible in the real world and he did not think it was fair on her to keep leading her on when he was an immortal superhero and she was a career driven woman.<br/><br/>"So, what do you have?" He asked her, standing before her in all his dark red and blue majestic glory. His arms were crossed and his impossibly blue eyes roved over her body, drinking in her ravishing, fiery beauty in the rather revealing dress.
