I thought we agreed you trying to play me anywhere right now would be a bad idea. Well, okay, maybe right now was a month or so ago, but it's still a bad idea. You know it is, so just... stop with the application writing? Even if you don't intend to turn it in, just writing it is going to make you even more tempted.

Personally, I think getting some fresh air looks good on you.

If it means I get to say hi to you again, it might not be that bad.

I missed you too. Don't try and tell me you were actually enjoying retirement.

Well, no. But it beats going somewhere only to get yanked back into retirement before I'm ready to go.

Sounds like you need to start showing her who's the real boss around here.

It's not exactly that simple, Lois. If she doesn't have the time, she doesn't have the time.

So find somewhere with a slower pace of living. That doesn't seem like so much to ask, does it?

Slow paced sounds an awful lot like retirement to me.

[ she's mostly teasing ]

Oh, I don't know. On Tuesday nights, they might have Bingo.

But I'm really more of a checkers person...

Guess you're out of luck, then.

Is getting out there really so bad?

Not really. I'd love to get back out there. But I don't think it's fair to me to get a taste of what I've been missing and then just... lose it all because she went into things without thinking them through.

Yeah. And who rushes into things without thinking them through?

[NOT BUCKY THAT IS FOR SURE]

Um... Lots of people?

[ she doesn't look shifty at all, nope ]

I don't know anyone like that.

Really?

You don't believe me?

Not at all.

Too bad. It'd be nice if someone did. [But he doesn't seem that upset.]

You don't want your mun to send you somewhere?

No, I do. I just want her to be smart about it.

That makes sense.

[Looks her over.] You seem different, I don't think you're the Supergirl I've met. [Not to mention she hasn't tried to punch him in the face, that is a plus.]

I'm not. Which means you're not my cousin, are you?

[Blinks, looking confused.] You'd consider a clone to be your cousin?

Well... yeah. It doesn't matter how it happened, Conner's family.

Right. [Out of all of the universes he's heard of, the Superboy from that world seems to have it the best.] I don't know if the you in my universe will ever feel that way.
