[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.

[Electricity...well, Kal had been there. It seems like it was forever ago when his powers changed to that though, it's been long since he was reminded of it.]

Which explains the name. Impressive.

Trust me, you aren't the only guy who thinks so.

[His arrogance is really just a front for his blistering insecurities. You know how it is.]

[He really, really does. A certain archer and green lantern come to mind right away- all mouth and attitude to hide every little mistake they had made behind the mask.]

Mind if I ask for your age?

[He fights down the urge to just LEAN AWAY from the screen, or do something like slam it to audio. Instead, he scowls.]

And you wanna know that... because?

[Warning bells, for serious.]

I have a... cousin your age.

[That's what he tells people Conner is anyway, even if the Kon here hasn't gotten the Conner identity yet.] It's not important, you're just- you remind me of him.

I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable.

[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.

[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.

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.]

I never lie. Ask whatever you want if you want proof, I'll answer.

[He's tamed Bruce HE CAN TAME YOU]

Oh, yeah. Because the word of some dude I've never met before who promises that he's telling the truth is totally someone I'm going to believe.

I wasn't born last week, dude.

Glad to know. But honestly, what do you think I could do to you? You have those lighting powers and I'm simply a mild-mannered reporter on the other side of the computer.

See! That, right there! Who even calls themselves 'mild-mannered'! That's some kind of douchebag codeword or something!

[HE IS SO CONVINCED YOU HAVE A CANDY VAN STASHED SOMEWHERE.]

...Wait, what?

[>You have truly confused him there Brandon.] You think I'm a, uh, douche because I called myself mild-mannered?

Which by the way isn't a thing I came up with myself, I've been told that plenty of times.

It's the fact that you're totally conscious of it. Like, teehee, look how completely harmless I am! Aren't I adorable? No. I call bullshit.

[He is so onto you, man.

He's not even remotely close to the truth. But he's so onto you.]

I am a grown man on his late thirties, I don't think 'adorable' is an adjective I would use.

So your problem with me is that you think is is all an act?
