[The post comes from Clark and Lois' suite, and the voice is unmistakably Clark Kent's. Superman is probably going to stay low for a while after Leslie's arrival.]

Clark Kent here.

I... know there's people handling a list of people who find themselves here to keep track of those who disappear, but now that we know that these incidents aren't going to be isolated maybe we should think of a quick way to check if people have been found after a disaster, or who's hurt or who hasn't been seen around for days?

The number of foreigners and arrivals is growing week by week so it's getting harder to keep track on everyone at once.

[He laughs softly] Then you'd better hope Lois is the one that finds out and not me, she's the cool aunt.

[everylittlegirl]

Isn't that a little hypocritical?

[andaway]

Never claimed to be fair. I've always been on the overprotective side.

[everylittlegirl]

Oh-kay. Note to self, don't tell Clark about anything.

[It's clearly a joking remark, but there's just that tiniest hint of sincerity that might make it true.]

[andaway]

Is that a challenge? It is me job to find out the truth regardless kiddo.

[Also said in a joking way, he can't help hearing everything but he does try to act like he doesn't know a lot of things he shouldn't know.]

Honestly, you're smart enough to know what you should and shouldn't you and I am not your father.

[everylittlegirl]

No, you're not.

[She replies with that feigned nonchalance of before, but now with a firm undercurrent. It's almost a warning: You're not my father. Don't act like one.]

Lucky for me, I don't really think I'll be getting into too much trouble.

[andaway]

[If he notes the warning he doesn't give any signs of it.]

Honestly, I think we're all a bit too busy to get ourselves in trouble. And I did get arrested once in this place so again, 'hypocritical'.

[everylittlegirl]

So I can get arrested once without you giving me too much trouble?

[andaway]

...Maybe I should mention how it almost got me killed? Definitely don't get arrested on purpose, it might be the last thing you do in this place.

[everylittlegirl]

Good to know. Thanks.
