how lex or jimmy ever reeled in someone like eve still evades him. sure, she could be ... enthusiastic to an extreme, but she seems sweet enough. ( something, clark knows, jimmy never could stomach; he's always wishy-washy with the women who want him most. ) so, he listens attentively as she speaks, sensing that she might need someone to hear her after all that she's been through.
his brows raise slightly when she grabs his hand. he meets her earnest gaze and fights a wince at the reminder that some people still don't trust him, and they aren't quiet about it online. at her suggestion, his expression grows thoughtful.
" a social media manager? you think? " inserting himself into online spaces always seemed too corporate and fame chasing to consider before. try as he might to avoid it, superman has become a brand, something to be fed to the masses, and, right now, the masses don't know how to feel about him.
but does it matter, if he knows the truth at his core?
" it's a good idea, eve, but i don't know. even if i could pay for someone to do that, wouldn't it be inauthentic to have someone else manage my image online? " he continues. " i want my actions to speak for me. that doesn't happen through status updates and selfies. i need people to see me as me, not as some carefully curated brand, even if it works for the justice gang. "
