[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?

[...Dad. He just got you back, alive, and you're a million miles away again...] Yeah...

[Then a thought, and a grin spreads across his face.] You ever grow a mustache?

He lets out a surprised 'huh?'

Can't say I have. Why?

Most of the v...my dad's race that I've met have mustaches.

Well, the guys.

I grew a beard once. And a mullet.

I don't think the mustache would fit me though.

You probably shouldn't broadcast that. In fact, you should lock that up in the back of your mind and never tell anyone again.

[Puts his finger above his upper lip.] Me neither.

[Kal laughs under his breath] It looked fashionable at the time? I eventually cut my hair though.

If your father's race tends to grow a mustache you might grow one with time though, won't you?

I think the only people who thought the mullet was fashionable... were the people with mullets.

[Makes a face because that is SO not happening.] It's called a razor, dude.

I liked it! And I liked my ponytail too- Wait. You can shave?

Do you have laser vision?

No, all of my powers are physical. But my dad and I have never had issues with razors. My skin's invulnerable, not my hair.

Why, do you?

I do, and I have to use it to shave. I tried razors when I was around your age but they kept on breaking.

I'm actually a little jealous right now.

But that makes no sense. Is your hair deadly or something?

And you must be really good at manipulating mirror's if you can...uh...laser vision yourself...

It's invulnerable, just like I am. I'm not that good, it's easier than it sounds and it takes a lot of practice. I did burn my face off a couple of times when I first grew a stubble though...

Why would your hair need to be invulnerable?

Your alien race seems weirder than mine. [And mine is pretty wierd and evil.]

And that must have been fun to explain in school.

Well, all of me is. It's not like it was made to be invulnerable, I just- well, I come from a world with a red sun so my body is able to store the yellow sunlight's energy.

It's... yeah, 'complicated' is the way I'd put it for now and leave it at that.

So your species isn't all crazy powerful to begin with?

Complicated's always a good word.

No, we're mostly like humans. Mostly, except our cells are ready to live under a red sun habitat. So yellow sunlight powers us up.

Oh. Vi...whatever are powerful everywhere, so I just thought that was an alien thing.

Not all alien are the same, that's actually kind of speciesist.

[Joking, obviously.]

Well humans are pretty weak on the alien scale. The only physical weaker species I've seen are the Thraxans...

It's... actually true in my world as well. I wonder why.

[See?! He's totally not racist.] My best guess is that it's due to the fact we don't interact with other planets, but at this point it's only a guess.
