Great story and welcome to the group! I love the idea that Clark brought Jimmy, Lois and Perry closer together.

This line of Jimmy's cracked me up:

He's tried to hide it from me, but Clark isn't a very convincing liar.
Love the insight into how Superman feels. People do have higher expectations of him:

Do you know why Superman folds his arms over his chest so often Lois? It's because I'm self conscious in that suit. It's nothing more than a way for me to feel protected. But everyone else looks at that stance and sees it as proof that I am in a position of authority.
Great story!
