(Shiftshine's P.O.V.)
Like Clark promised, he kept the story of our interview professional and truthful, and the club was a tad more busier for a couple of weeks until it has bubbled down to normal. Clark and I had become friends from that day ever since, and I must admit I had never been more happier than when I had Caleb.
After the club closes down, these precious hours plus early mornings before I drop Caleb at school, I go out and be Shiftshine, the heroine. My outfit is of dark blue, dark purple, and dark brown. I had my eyes shifted to amber gold, and my hair shifted to onyx black and made into a high half-ponytail. My skin remained copper tan. I had orchid red lipstick as well. I have goggles, a short sleeved dark purple shirt, with fingerless dark purple gloves. I have my dark blue leather vest. I have a lopsided dark brown belt, with a hook to hold my strong, elastic rope and a couple of pocket bags. Further down, I have camo dark blue skinny jeans, and for footwear, I have multi-strapped dark brown flats.
I didn't need any symbol or insignia and everybody I had rescued had told many others to look for a furry tail, or scaly/feathery wings if I am in the neighborhood. Of course, they know my name. I was the mystery in the newspapers, nobody close never got a picture of me truly or my other forms. I had a feeling that Clark was getting a lot curious, and I knew sooner or later, I will be met by Superman, his alter ego and probably be working alongside if he's fine with it.
Turns out, it was sooner. I was wandering the neighborhood after being thanked by a grateful woman that I had saved upon a construction site. She had stepped back too far,a dn was falling off a open side of a building. Luckily, if it wasn't for my wings, I would never caught her.
I had shifted into my wolf form, and I was listening for abnormal sounds when I heard a swishing sound. I turned around to see Superman floating above the building some feet behind me. He had that curious/stern look, and the crossed arms as well. I sighed which sounded like a whuff. I shifted back to normal.
"Hey. I presume you had heard about me and you wanted to see for yourself, aren't I right?". I casually smiled as I briefly checked my hair.
Superman slowly nodded, "I saw what happened back there. You were quick to react, and you caught her in time. May I know of how you did it?".
"Oh, it's one of my features of my superpowers. You see, I can control the elements, and I also shift into four animals from these elements as well. And I'm not a alien. I am a metahuman, through I prefer 'superheroine'.". I carefully explained.
Superman visibly relaxed at the mention of 'superheroine', and his arms laid at his sides now.
"And the name?". he asked curiously.
I grinned, ""Shift' is for my animal forms, and 'shine' is for my personality.". Superman smiled, understanding it all. We then conversed here and there between beating bad guys or resolving some problems.
At the end of the afternoon, I had to leave, but not before I told Superman that I am glad to have a friend, and he said the same as well, less or more. So, I had off-time with Clark in late nights/early mornings between club greetings, and the usual song, and went out to work during late mornings/early afternoons with Superman. Not bad. I am defintely officially a teammate, and a great superheroine too!
