Phantom's Reporter (and Human Explainer); Clark Kent (podfic)

by litrapod (litra)

Summary:

Author's original summary:

 

The existence of Phantom, a teen hero relatively new on the scene, has been brought before Clark's attention.

The kid's doing a good job; he has a few accidents, but otherwise he's doing his best and, given the fact that there are zero civilian casualties, his best is more than good enough.

The problem is that there seems to be a disconnect between Phantom and the humans he's protecting, one due to what Clark is sure are cultural misunderstandings and, more prevalently, bad press representation that keeps being done over and over again.

Clark is uniquely suited to both of those things. Superman, not so much.

Clark sets out as Clark Kent, the reporter, and not as Superman, to give Phantom the interview he should have gotten when he first arrived on the hero scene...and, perhaps, to help the kid get used to explaining things to humans instead of assuming they'll understand.
