Superman glances at the crayon Father's Day card on the refrigerator. Richard follows his gaze and winces. "He's not going to be an ugly duckling forever." Lois smacks Richard in the arm. "He's not now." "He's never going to stop being human, either." Superman looks at their ceilings, still unmarred by mistaken collisions. "He needs you." Richard puts his head in his hands. "You're sure." "Hell yes." Lois puts her arm around his shoulders. "He needs somebody who's smart enough to run away from danger, not toward it." Richard smiles. "Well, that's true."
