[Enter 'Professor Craig'. He's a middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed goatee, glasses, salt-and-pepper black hair and the accent of a British foreign national that's spent several decades in America. Of Bruce Wayne, there is absolutely nothing, not the voice or the poise or the bearing. Even his eyes are another colour, and the structure of his face is altogether different.

This post goes up several hours past the executions, and Bruce is basically waiting on the results of his blood samples and fabric analyses from the three dead kedan. So, the Network gets his attention for now, and his primary cover persona on Keeliai gets some exercise.]

Is everyone all right? God, I can't even imagine-- if anyone needs anything, please ask. We're all in this together.

The fishbowl thing was entirely your idea, pal.

[cowled]

An idea born of misinformation!

An idea born of jumping to conclusions.

--Well, yes. That too.

[littlecousin]

What else do you think I can do?

[CHINHANDS.

Also, golden opportunity. Nita is not particularly good at secrecy.]

[Musingly,]

I don't suppose you have laser vision?

[He'll start with one he's pretty sure she doesn't have.]

[littlecousin]

No, that's Gladiator. And maybe Sentry, I don't know.

[Supes expies all up in here.]

[well now he's just straight-up amused.]

All right. Well, I already know you can fly - that wasn't just Superboy carrying you, right? - and breathe underwater. How do you feel about lifting cars?

[littlecousin]

I dunno, are they in the way?

[Which is pretty clearly a "yes, I can lift cars."]

[He chokes a bit.]

Remind me not to make you angry, Princess.

I'm not going to beat up on a college professor!

[SO INDIGNANT!!!1

Pause.]

...Maybe an evil college professor.

Well, you really have no proof save my word that I'm not evil. You never know. I could spend all of my time gleefully marking well-meaning university hopefuls with failing grades.

[littlecousin]

I would have to take that personally on behalf of college students everywhere.

[cowled]

Henceforth I shall live in a well-founded fear for my life.

[a bit of an ironic bow.]

[littlecousin]

Only if you're secretly an evil college professor.

Are you?

[Wither before her scorching interrogation technique, Craig.]

[cowled]

If I tell you I'm not, would you believe me?

[He asks the hard-hitting questions.]

video;

[littlecousin]

Yeah, probably. If I went around being paranoid I'd never make any friends.

[Ahem, Bruce.]

[cowled]

[He doesn't quite choke on his coffee, okay.]

Touché. In that case, I am definitely not an evil professor of any denomination, thank you.

video;

[littlecousin]

Okay. But if you're lying I'm gonna drop-kick you into orbit.

[It's not as exaggeratedly humorous a threat when she says it.]
