Writing prompt-
I shook my head, trying to clear the image. It was my imagination. There was no way i had seen that. They were fairy tales. Humans were not real.

The first time superman seen the boys, he blamed it on the lack of eyeglasses. He was flying home from work and due to the lateness of the hour, had accidentally step on his pair in a hurry. He close his eyes for a second but the four boys seeming to swing on ropes have disappeared in the ruins skycraper of Gotham.
The second time, he was again on his way home, because. Some of the people flying above him was giggling at his antics. In a world, where almost everyone can fly, everyone is super...clark challenge himself in thinking of ways to not rely on powers.
He must have took a wrong turn- the landscape is far different on the ground than air. Because next thing he saw were two pair of shocked eyes before one scramble up to the ceiling using a grapple gun while theother one run into the corner and disappear. Their clothes remind clark of military.
"So hows Gotham?" Lane teased a day after clark kent came back to metropolis and reports for work.
Clark Kent shudder. " .awful." he answer while his mind is already ahead trying to organize an outline of his assignment in gotham.
"Here." Lois said as she offered him a cup of coffee which is hot because she boiled it with her power.
"Thanks." Clark hummed his pleasure at the cup of coffee.
"So hows Bruce Wayne in person?" Lois drawled a teasing smile on her lips.
Clark wanted to bash his head on the desk. "He still pulled the same stunt that he did like ...10 years straight now and it seemed he never grow old of it." He answer peevish.
Bruce aka "pls call me brucie"Wayne- prince of Gotham- was one of clark's assignment in gotham. Clark attended the party where bruce once again do his magic tricks with playing cards while drunk and laughing all the while. The media just grit their teeth and wait until lucius fox step after bruce to talk about the enterprise latest innovation.
The media got used to seeing bruce wayne drunk anyway that they couldnt remember anymore the last time they saw him flying or doing normal things like him using his supernatural power.
When Bruce Wayne made it on the news it was because he got into one accident or another while drunk, stoned or both.
"Poor baby," lois said, making a fake sad face.
Clark just laugh and throw paperclips at lois who just made an invisible barrier.

"batman," superman approach the aloof, cold guy with some trepidation when some times have passed since that incident with gotham that never left his mind.
To superman's relief, the enigmatic guy in the bat suit just grunt in acknowledgement instead of fleeing which he normally does after meetings in the watch tower.
Superman float beside the guy as the two made their way at the transporter. "D-do you believe that humans exist?" He blurted out.
For a second, batman seemed to pause. " why? Do you consider your teammates weaker than you?" he mocked the world's strongest meta.
Superman was speechless and gape after batman.

"Its just that...read this Diana and weep." Superman cried as he shove a book about homo sapiens at diana's face.
Diana who is trying to braid her hair wonder if she should resign from the book club for three as the trio hang out in her room.
Batman seemed engross in reading blueprints and schematic of old building while he sat in the floor leaning on the bed.
Diana wanted to laugh at superman's emotional sobbing. Clark seemed obsess with the idea of humanity. He couldnt seemed to wrap his head on the idea that even the lowest rank metas are a hundred times stronger than the mythical humans. Currently, he is plowing on any reading that is related to humans. fiction, nonfiction and fanfic. He also made headcanons.
"This obsession happens after your stay in gotham right?" Diana asked with a frown. She scooted closer to superman.
"Stay away from Gotham." As usual, if batman heard bits and pieces of conversation that had "gotham" on it, this was his reply. It became automatic over time.
Batman looked to stare at them. "Gotham can mess up your head."
