[Kal-El seems to be posting from a cafe in the water sector, judging by his surroundings. A cafe that has seen better days. Kal's face makes it obvious he wasn't expecting the cafe to be in such a state when he got there, seeing all this go on without being able to help is really hitting him hard.]
Superman here. I'm aware the rationing is the hot topic nowadays but there isn't... much I can do about that. I will do my best to help out Roger's food bank and if anyone needs me to do so don't hesitate to contact me but for now you will have to forgive me for deviating from the topic.
This last month I have noticed a lot of foreigners that happened to have powers with them that were... not sure what to do with them at best, outright scared of them at worse. I want to help with that.
I am a super-powered being myself, we are called 'metahumans' in my world. I was thinking maybe there should be some kind of... way for us to meet, to talk about our problems. To train each other if our powers are similar, to help us out when it's needed. I'm not sure where I was going with this but that... well, that was my suggestion.
[A little shrug and a smile] I would like to hear people's opinion in it?
[Private to Evandau]
I was told you were in charge of the rationing?

I should probably warn you of something though, if you're like serious about coming to get me.
audio
Yes? What is it?
audio
audio
I'm listening.
audio
I...I'm a mutant turtle.
audio
What?
audio
[He repeats, but as a question this time because...well...that's what you do when someone asks you to repeat something so true that it usually isn't questioned in the first place.]
audio
Is that all? I'll come pick you up in a second if that's all.
audio
Well...not for cat, obviously, but since neither of them are cats...
Mike allows himself to hope.]
No...that's pretty much it. Just the turtle thing.
audio
[Seconds, actually but he thinks it's pretty rude to just appear without giving the guy time to get ready.]
audio -> action
[There's maybe three beats before Mike realizes that when Superman says minute or two, he quite literally means a minute or two.
His eyes go wide as Mike makes a mad dash for one of the few windows in the house that isn't boobytrapped to the teeth, and begins to scale the side of his building. His arm, while still wounded, is a hell of a lot better than it was when he first got here.
It's a wonder what turning the heat in his apartment up to high all the while keeping the wound itself clean and dry will do.
So suffice it to say that when he's finally up on the roof he's just catching what little breath he lost in the movement.]
action
Yup, turtle. He really wasn't lying.]
You didn't have to run. [He says, grinning as he lands by him.] I would have waited.
Re: action
Mike doesn't say much at first, really he just gapes. Because...SUPERMAN.
When he does speak, however...]
.....supermanwouldhavewaitedforme...I mean, hi...er...hello...what's up?
Re: action
Hello, Mike. Nice to meet you in the flesh.
action
.....woah.
[Mike swallows hard, and very slowly reaches out to take Superman's hand. His own feels like slightly warmer than room temperature suede.]
The pleasure is all mine.
Re: action
[Kal gives him a firm handshake because he knows that's what he's expecting. He can't help the way his lips tug into a grin though.]
You know, if I'm going to take you flying you're going to have to calm that heartbeat down a little.
action
You can hear that?
[The moment the words are out of his mouth he regrets them. Of course he can hear that, dummy! HE'S SUPERMAN!]
I'll, um...yeah, I'll see to that. Just...just gimme a second.
[Because a meditative state is something that one can just turn on and off like a light switch.]
action
[He crouches to be at his eye-level (tall man, turtle size... bad combination), the grin never leaving his lips.]
You can explain how come you knew about me while you calm down?
action
...you're famous. Everyone knows who Superman is.
action
Specially worlds with other heroes as yourself.
action
Oh I'm...I'm not a hero. I'm just...a regular guy.
...
Who is also a mutant turtle.
action

[He's waving away the compliment.]
I'm from New York. West side.
