I may be a little jealous.

[ A lot. Maybe. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Of what?

[ she's not trying to be insensitive, she just honestly doesn't know. she's always been jealous of him ]

[anewhope]

I don't think there's going to be a lot of Superman supporters, looking out for me.

[ The army helped. A little. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

You're beloved?

[ at least, in her world ]

[anewhope]

I don't see how. Or why.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, saving the world is usually really well-received. Maybe you just haven't built up the time yet? Kittens need rescuing out of trees, you know.

[anewhope]

[ He can't suppress the smile. ]

Maybe. In a few years or so.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe this is our second chance.

Which would be more like the blind-leading-the-blind with a weak sun, but who knows! Phantom Zone part 2, electric boogaloo!

[anewhope]

I'm not complaining.

[ Especially considering how green he is at this. ]

When do I start?

[takingkarabusiness]

Being my mentee? I think you already did, cuz.

[ light elbow rib ]

[anewhope]

And here I thought I needed to pass a test or fly through some hoops.

[takingkarabusiness]

I can set up an obstacle course if you want?

[anewhope]

How would that even work?

[ He's never had a problem with sports. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Really, really high hula hoops? suspended from... somewhere?

Okay, I didn't think this through.

[anewhope]

I guess it's new territory for both of us.

[takingkarabusiness]

It definitely is. And we're definitely in space, which is weirder than it should feel, right?

[anewhope]

It's certainly not what I expected. Have you been to many other planets?

[ He certainly didn't think there was other life out there. That's what made his time on Earth so momentous. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Before now? Just Krypton and Earth. With the Fleet, I've been to more stations than planets. But I've met a variety of people?

[anewhope]

Apparently there are other superheroes as well.

[ Blows the mind. Clark is so used to be the singular. That it was only him. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

There are.

I spent so much time trying to hide who I am—I'm sure you relate—it's kind of strange. I don't really know whether to keep up the dual identities thing or not.

[anewhope]

Neither do I.

[ He pauses. ] I mean, it can't hurt. Here.

[takingkarabusiness]

To keep it going?

[anewhope]

Or to let it go.

[ Though hiding is second nature at this point. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

It's hard to let go. It took a lot of work to adapt, for me.

[anewhope]

[ Hesitantly. ]

I'm not even sure I can.

[ He's hidden so much of himself. Never being a fixture in anyone's life, never staying long enough to be anyone's friend. ]
