It had been years since the young Kent child had become the young Kent girl. By now, Clark Kent had almost completely vanished from the world and Claire Kent had taken his place. By the time she graduated from high school, she made her decision. With a future ahead of her, Claire embraced the rest of her role as Claire and left Clark behind.
She liked to think she had adapted pretty well to womanhood.

But that was another problem. Today, Claire had to finish her article on Metropolis regents meeting, start preparing for her next article, and then make her usual Superwoman patrol. It was a lot for one woman, but she could handle it.
As she approached her desk, she saw a familiar face...
