"Hello, I'd like to see the Mangler"
"Name please" asked the bored secretary without looking up.
"Uh, I can't really tell you…"
"Sir, look, you have to- Oh!"
She looked up and saw the looming, tall, figure clad in black and white with an abstract S on his chest.
"Go right ahead Mr. Superman Sir!"
"Thank you ma'am"
"Alright Mangler, you've got a visitor."
"Mina! My little girl has come to see me!"
"Sorry Mangler, it's not your daughter."
"Hello Mangler."
"Superman?"
"I thought you could use someone to talk to. About your daughter."
"how could you understand about Mina? You're impervious to pain, you're superman!"
"I'm only indestructible when it comes to physical harm." Said superman
"In another way, you're Superman; you couldn't possibly know how it feels to lose the only joy in your life."
"This may be hard to believe but I had a family once."
"really?" asked the Mangler
"A wife, and a son, of course he was my clone, but still, my son."
"She died over 10 years ago, yet still not a day goes by that I don't wish she was still here."
"Wow, I just never imagined Superman being a family type person, but I guess that if I am then anyone can…"
"See, you're feeling better already."
"what happened to your son?"
"Are you familiar with the hero Superboy?"
"sorry, no."
"well anyway, before Lois died, I retired from the Superman gig, and I gave it to my son, but Luthor still managed to capture him, so I donned the suit one more time to come to his rescue, but by the time I got there, He was already dead."
Tears came to Superman's eyes as he spoke.
"what happened to the rest of your family?"
"My parents from my home planet, died with it, the city where my aunt, uncle, and only cousin lived was shrunk and put in a bottle, my cousin managed to escape, but a few years back, she offered her energy to keep the sun from exploding, and my earth parents died, a long time ago.
"well, since your son's umm, well…"
"pushing up daisies?"
"sure, what was his name?"
"Conner."
"Times up you two, sorry Superman, rules are rules."
"It was nice talking to you Mr. Superman, Sir. I'm glad that I could help you."
"I was supposed to be helping you."
