[ Olivia's looking down when the camera comes on, trying to find the right way to phrase this. When she finally looks up, it's with a thoughtful, worried expression, and she takes a deep breath before she speaks. ]

It's pretty obvious to me by now that having... abilities isn't exactly uncommon here. It is, where I'm from. I met a few people who did have... I guess you could say special powers, back home, and... Maybe it's just the circumstances those abilities came from, but to say the results were disastrous would be an understatement.

[ She glances away, pressing her lips together. Coming to the point isn't easy. If she were asking one person, that would be one thing, but she doesn't know who to go to, and letting everyone know just how clueless and confused she is right now... It's not her favorite thing in the world. ]

I was hoping someone with some experience with this sort of thing could tell me how you handle those abilities. How you control them. Something happened to me when the city was attacked, and... I don't want it to happen again. I don't want to risk hurting anyone.

I can do that. Is there somewhere you'd like to meet, or...? I'd offer my apartment, but it's not exactly fireproof if... whatever we're going to do might trigger another incident.

[His apartment is Clark Kent's apartment, so that one is forbidden too.]

Maybe somewhere in the water sector would be the safest bet.

There's a sort of... plaza by the canal not far from my suite. As long as it's early, that should be enough open space if anything happens.

[A little smile] With luck nothing will really happen, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Would you like to meet me there tomorrow morning?

That would be great. Thank you so much... ah... I'm sorry, I completely forgot to ask your name.

I'm Superman. Kal-El, if you would rather. [A little sheepish grin] I went by the former in my world, but most people in here seem to find it hilarious.

[ Yeah, she has to hold back a smile. ] We'll go with Kal-El. My name's Olivia.

[A little nod as he smiles. He knew, but not under this guise.] Nice to meet you, Olivia. Looking forward to helping you out if I can.
