[Well, hello there. There’s a friendly face smiling at the network, nervously pushing his glasses up. He doesn’t seem to have any kind of trouble with the computers, but it’s obvious by the way he’s looking speaking to crowds (and he seems to consider whoever might be looking a ‘crowd’) isn’t really his thing.

Or that’s what he wants to make you believe, anyway. Clark Kent had always been the go to personality in case of kidnapping. He isn’t stupid enough to show where is he exactly living, but you get to see enough of his room to guess he’s in the water sector if you care enough to notice that kind of things. Seeing how calm and easy going the guy seems it shouldn’t come as a surprise.]

Um, hello. [A little friendly wave and a tilt of his head.] I’m not really sure if we’re supposed to-ah, introduce ourselves? I was told everything would be alright and everybody I’ve seen has been rather welcoming so far so I though… [He trails off, shrugging.] Call it farm-boy routine I guess.

Anyway, I’m Clark. Clark Kent. It’s a pleasure.

You 'do the hero thing'? So you're a hero in your world?

[Consider his interest picked.] What kind of hero?

Uh, the super kind?

[She can't actually think of another kind of hero, really.]

Appearances can be deceiving.

[Clark likes flying better... but it's not like he'd suggest flying, he wants to stay as Clark a little longer. He doesn't get the chance to look around places without drawing attention to himself as 'Superman' often.]

The Metal Sector. Is it safe?

The victims are alright.

The natives- the kedan people who kidnapped them... [He makes a face] not so much.

[NOT HELPING YOUR CAUSE.]

How about you just try not being a giant creeper? Like, I don't know, maybe you're an alien or something but where I'm from we definitely don't ask teenaged boys how old they are. Just. Period.

No.

[Welp time to alter his clothing such that no one would recognize it or compare it back to 'Batman'. He strips off the black overshirt. The pants are silk, and fairly common as far as style goes, and won't garner any specific attention. He leaves the overshirt neatly folded over the back of one of Clark's chairs, musses his hair, adjusts the cuffs of his cream-coloured undershirt -- chosen because the grain of the silk is in direct contrast to the heavier black overshirt, and has more potential of turning aside a blade than a single layer -- and c'est voila, Bruce Wayne.]

The Metal sector has the highest incidence of random crimes, though there's less of a Gang influence there than in, say, Fire or Earth.

[It's one of the reasons he's stationed himself in Metal, beyond the fact that its architecture is similar to Gotham. He can deal with organized crime, such as what the gangs provide, but he's always the most at home preventing muggings and shake-downs. The incidents that occur in back alleys or behind closed doors.

So yes, it's dangerous. But it's nothing he can't handle.]

Oh. Thank you. And don't mention it, really. I'm glad to.

Metropolis? I don't think any real cities with that name actually exist back home, so we've probably got a case of different worlds. But for the record, I mostly live in New York, on Long Island.

[Sam smiles back, pleased.]

Not as long as some, it seems, but longer than others.

It sounds as though you've just arrived.

Honestly? They have to know enough about us to choose who to bring and how. Doing something like that at random could be dangerous.

[He taps his chin] Then again, if the threat is as big as they are making us believe maybe they didn't have the time for investigation.

[That gets a laugh out of him] Well, I guess that answers the question on if you're metahuman or not.

What powers do you have?

["Metahuman" isn't a common term where she's from, but she gets the meaning.]

There was a question? Did you miss the ears, dude?

[She turns her head to give a clearer view.]

Oh, that I know.

[He frowns as he looks at the feed for a few seconds, considering.] I guess what's important is that if you're able to take care of yourself.

I figured it was a bit - you know, point and shoot at a superhero, or a cop, or what-have-you, and hope they're gonna help when they show up. [she even made a little finger gun to go with that comment]

Not that this sort of thing is really my speciality. I mostly just punch stuff.

[HE'S REALLY TRYING BRANDON he promises. The alien bit also gets a startled laugh out of him- but it's a joke he gets far too often to worry about it.]

I already said I'm sorry. You don't have to answer, alright? I'm a journalist, I ask questions, it's my thing.

I didn't lie about my cousin though.

Of course I can.

[Clark wasn't looking as Bruce changed- polite as always, even though Bruce was simply trying to look less... Batman-y. He always tries to let him have is sense of privacy. Mainly because he knows how important that is to Bruce.

At Bruce's words about the Metal sector, he turns with a frown.]

Figures.

[Because there was no way Bruce was going to end in a quiet, calm sector. Clark bets he would have moved if that had been the case. ]

I was told this one was one of the safest. At least Clark Kent won't have to worry about getting attacked.

I suspected as much. [Luckily for him people from his world have been people he recognizes so far.]

But we do have a New York in my world. Nice to know some things stay the same.

Indeed I did, with the last wave of arrivals. This is apparently a common occurrence?

I have a hard time believing anywhere we've been kidnapped to against our will could be 'safe', Clark. Keep that in mind.

[Farmboy naivety.]

Come on.

[And Bruce just leads the way to the door.]

Implying that you did lie about something else. So what was it?

[HE WILL JUST BE BELLIGERENT AT YOU FOREVER, CLARK. F O R E V E R.]

Well- not clearly enough to be sure, and I thought it would be rude to ask.

So you're an elf?

[That gets a laugh out of him. He likes her, he reminds him of Dick when he was Robin. He can see why Kara will become friends with her.]

I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually. We can even try to punch the truth out of some of the gangs in here even.

You seem so sure of yourself.

Why wouldn't I be? I have lived for many ages.
