   Summary

   Clark Kent meets Matches Malone while working on a story, and the pair hit it off almost immediately. Meanwhile, Superman is getting established as a hero, and slowly becoming friends with Batman. Bruce just wants to figure out if he can maintain three separate identities, raise a kid, and keep his reporter boyfriend somewhat in the dark. It's a three-way double-blind secret identity scramble.
