man of steel claims another victim

[boyscout]

If I were you, I'd concentrate less on getting everything 100% right, and more on relaxing and having fun. Learning new things always takes a little time. Yes, even for me.

It'll be fine.

Mun having doubts about taking you up, Clark?

[boyscout]

Not doubts so much as worrying about getting me right. Although, I guess if you squint that could be a doubt.

She made a high pitched noise when you tagged but won't tell me why.

[superman_two]

I've been told we're a bit daunting to write, though I've never quite seen why.

[A chuckle.]

Can't say as I've had that reaction before.

[boyscout]

Mun says because I -- we -- have more than one side.

Really?

[superman_two]

This is true.

I've had some people surprised to see me, or happy to, but never any high-pitched sounds.

[boyscout]

Apparently, she likes you because the writers let you evolve and grow more than is generally expected from a comic run.

[superman_two]

Hmm. That is true. I can understand it then.

[boyscout]

I'm glad one of us does.

So, what's your life like?

[superman_two]

Pretty good on, the whole. I'm married to the most wonderful woman in the world, semi-retired for heroics, and getting to watch a new generation of heroes come into their own.

[boyscout]

That sounds close to perfect, actually. Are you allowed to retire from heroics, though? And I feel like I should be asking about dental plans.

[superman_two]

No dental plan for heroes, though the Daily Star has a fairly comprehensive package. Not that I've ever needed it.

It's mostly simply that I don't go out on patrol much anymore. If Metropolis is in danger or the JSA needs me, I step right up to the plate. But these days, I'm content to let Power Girl be the Kryptonian of record.

[boyscout]

I wonder if the Daily Planet has one. Not that I'll be eligible until they promote me from stringer to employee.

Oh. Seems like you know some good people. Who is Power Girl?

[superman_two]

[Well, in for a penny...]

Power Girl is my cousin, Kara Zor-L.
