He had everything laid out before him: a perfectly grilled steak, a baked potato, and a glass of red wine. He took a bite of the steak and savored the flavor, but something was missing. He looked around the empty room, feeling the loneliness set in.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash outside his door. He quickly got up and opened it, only to find a group of his closest superhero friends standing outside, dressed in party hats and holding balloons.
"Surprise!" they shouted in unison.
Superman was taken aback. "What are you all doing here?"
"We heard you were having dinner alone and decided to throw you a party!" Batman exclaimed.
Superman couldn't help but smile at his friends' thoughtfulness. They all gathered around the table and began to eat, drink, and laugh together.
"Hey, Supes, did you hear the one about the Justice League walking into a bar?" The Flash asked, grinning mischievously.
Superman rolled his eyes. "Oh, not this joke again."
But before he could protest any further, they were all roaring with laughter.
The rest of the night was a blur of jokes, stories, and good food. Superman felt more alive than he had in weeks. As the night wound down and his friends began to say their goodbyes, Superman couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected company.
"Thanks, guys," he said, as he walked them to the door. "This was exactly what I needed."
"Anytime, Supes," Wonder Woman said, giving him a hug. "Just remember, you're never alone with friends like us."
Superman smiled as he watched his friends fly off into the night sky. He went back inside, finished his dinner, and went to bed feeling happy and loved. From that night on, he knew that even when Lois was away, he would never be truly alone.
