Not me thinking you were leading with “saving Jimmy Olsen” into some rare pair. Cuz Jimmy/Dan would be HILARIOUS XD I can just imagine Clark finding out Dan is a world ending threat and suddenly treating Jimmy like that friend/rebellious teen that dates the bad boy with a bike.
Dan works in the Metropolis Police Department and is frequently on scene helping with crowd control during Superman battles.
It starts with saving Jimmy Olsen from a piece of falling rubble. Then helping Lois into the barricaded off Superman fight zone because Dan can tell she’ll get through them no matter what for her story, he might as well go with her and at least be sure she’s safe. Then he helps evacuate an out of control plane that Superman had safely slowed down and gently landed.
It felt like a blink of an eye but suddenly Dan was a part of the small circle of civilians that Superman interacts with daily.
