“	It's a regular day in Central City. Nothing out of the ordinary. People wake up. Roll out of bed. Suit up for the day. Get to work as fast as they can. Make sure they get a caffeine fix along the way so they can make it through the mountain of work that awaits them. Yup, it's just a regular day. And I'm just a regular guy.	”
