Thanks for sharing this story, Elisabeth, I really enjoyed it.
At first, I thought this was Clark's first day at the Daily Planet and the first time he met Lois - it's great how you kept that ambiguity in the first two paragraphs.
I actually found the starting point of your A-plot quite interesting, too: I was really interested in what had happened to Edgar's wife and why she left the cult/group.
Your premise about just seeing the aura of superheroes is a great idea: very exciting and would definitely be worth exploring.
Overall, I agree with Caroline: I would love to read more, but it does stand on its own as a vignette.
So thank you for your effort in "reviving" the boards
and I hope you will find some more stories like this one on your hard drive,
Eva
