( old hat versus her having two people going very new hat and unsure how to deal with it. )

Glad to hear it. You'll be keeping low key through all this vent nonsense?

[kryptonix]

Maybe lock myself in a room. Seems fine.

[thisisontherecord]

( feels like that may not be as smooth a hope as one might wish but hey, maybe it'll work out? that'd be great. she does not mention that star labs are apparently here with lockable rooms because that's still weird. )

Send a shout if you end up wanting a supply drop in the interim. Pretty sure I'll be running around to some degree, even just trying to help locate the vent.

[kryptonix]

On your own?

[thisisontherecord]

If needed, but likely with at least Clark or Jon in tow.

[kryptonix]

The child?

Should he be wandering about?

[thisisontherecord]

My sincere hope is he doesn't end up doing that. My realistic expectation of circumstances is there's going to be time where he will, and I'd better plan for it.

[kryptonix]

Seeing kids playing superhero . . . it doesn't feel right.

[thisisontherecord]

It doesn't sit easy with me either. What's worse is I can't even ask myself what's going on in another world that this was the solution. Because knowing me, even if it's another me entirely, I wouldn't agree to this if it wasn't the best solution out of a series of worse ones.

[kryptonix]

And I guess he won't listen to you. Not entirely.

[thisisontherecord]

He is, for better and worse, definitely my son. So no. Takes too much after me.

[kryptonix]

Kids. They always are a headache.

[thisisontherecord]

Prefer them as a headache to a heartache, but yeah. Definitely been learning that one personally. He's a good kid, just... he hasn't had to deal with being standard human/Red-Sun Kryptonian involuntarily before. Neither has his dad. Makes for a double hit on both their shock values when it's happening with a whole festival of hallucinations and the rest at the same time.

Glad to know I can be slightly less worried in your general direction.

[kryptonix]

Why would you be worried about me?

[thisisontherecord]

You're one of the people I know here. As a general rule, I don't want people I know to suffer. Excepting Luthor, and even he I don't care to see suffer unless he's learning from it. Doesn't seem likely he will so far.

[kryptonix]

[ so it's just based on that? fine then. ]

The bald guy is causing trouble already?

[thisisontherecord]

I think it's curl envy. Really should have used all that intelligence to find a better hair-growth remedy than what's out on the market right now.

( jokes aside... )

Luthor's more the ticking time bomb. I'm hoping his first meltdown isn't in the next few weeks.

[kryptonix]

You think he'll come for you?
