[What is visible of the room is obviously in Earth Sector, both from the décor and from the view out of the large, open window over Lois’ shoulder. As for Lois herself, she’s still somewhat damp and visibly grumpy about it. Her sigh is explosive as she runs a hand through her hair.]

Kidnapping, fine. Another day in my life. Alternate universes? They’re not so much my thing. I try to leave that to the heroes. Murder and mayhem are plenty for headlines.

[Lois rolls her eyes as she says the latter. Despite the few sentences, she manages to convey even more information, even subconsciously: her face and tone are expressive. Exasperation, impatience, and the voice of experience shine through. So too does her underlying concern, though. She is absently twisting some hair around a finger. Her engagement and wedding rings glint as she does.]

Lois Lane, Daily Planet, if anyone’s heard of it.

The last time I ran into an alternate world, at least it was someone’s… misguided attempt at a paradise. Nice enough place, but even that ended in a fight. One day I’d like to get a freaking vacation with one of these things.

[Pause.]

So… are there any competent newspapers around this place?

[So much for wanting a vacation.]

Special powers, alien tech, magic, that sort of thing.

My tech far surpasses anyone on the planet. [He'd already said as much! Sorta.] My de-hydration gun is the only one of it's kind, and I'll have you know there's nothing even remotely close out there on the market. Humans couldn't hope to replicate anything I have engineered.

[Though -- he's eyeing her a little now.]

You're getting a bit personal, Miss Lane.

[grump grump grump]

[And the eyebrow goes up again.]

Asking what kind of skills someone needs to have a hope of surviving a dehydration ray is getting personal?

[No, she is not above a little flattery to get information.]

You, Miss Lane, are flattering me.

[And he puffs up all the more for it, looking utterly damn pleased with himself.]

And I must say, it's working, for the most part. And you, my dear, would have no chance of escaping my dehydration gun. It's all about molecule makeup and how much water the body retains, you know.

Not unless I dodge.

[She waves a little. Not the point.]

How has Metro Man managed to evade you this long, then?

[He snorts.]

Touche.

[That makes him grumpy though.]

I've -- almost won on manny occasions, thank you!

Mmm. So how does he eke out his successes?

[C'mon, c'mon, superpowers or martial-arts-badass or magic, give a girl a break...]

[He HUFFS at her, folds his arms before wagging one finger at his camera.]

Now now...can't reveal everything in one sitting, now can we...?

[He smirks, smile brilliant, before he bows.]

I bid thee adieu, Miss Lane - we will meet again.

[Disconnect :3]
