1. Superman says, "Thanks, Jimmy!" and puts one large hand on Jimmy's shoulder. "You're a real pal!"
2. Well, okay, so what *if* the alien ghost Inca genie thing turns out pretty bad in the end. For a little while Jimmy has a six foot tall babe in a bikini fetching him coffee whenever he wants, and he is The *Man*. (The very jittery Man, maybe, but still totally The Man.)
3. Clark is late, again, and finally Lois uncrosses her arms and grabs Jimmy by the collar and takes him to the senior reporters' fancy dinner instead. There are a few jokes made at his expense, sure, but Perry treats him like a son, he manages not to spill anything on his jacket, and he learns the original context behind Dik Soak's story with Green Lantern and the giant jar of marmalade.
4. Superman is falling from the sky in tatters of blue and red and bright promises and it's not like Jimmy can *do* anything except keep his finger on the shutter release and wait for the perfect shot.
After, Perry White looks at him with eyes that are red and shiny. But he says, "Good work, Olsen," in an almost steady voice and runs the photos on page one and no one ever forgets them, ever.
5. One day, Superman comes back, and Jimmy gets pictures of that, too.
