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?

[thisisontherecord]

Considering how many of his ex's he locked up in his own private pocket dimension prison, if he thought it would lead to him getting what he wanted, sure. But I doubt I'm going to be target number one. He's very heavily obsessed with Superman. Hard for him to see much beyond that.

[kryptonix]

I never really understood that part. But everything I heard is pretty second hand.

I think there's still a Luthor in the 31st century but I never met her.

[thisisontherecord]

I'm going to be generous and say reasons might differ between worlds. In our world, he's jealous. Nothing really more interesting than that, unfortunately.

Another lineage surviving out that long? I hope she's got a better head on her shoulders than the one here does. Wouldn't take much.

[kryptonix]

No clue. Just know she's rich and she exists.

I had bigger problems than billionaires with inferiority complexes. And it's not like they survived the apocalypse in my timeline.

[thisisontherecord]

That is never not going to sound profoundly sad. The apocalypse part, not the liberation from concerns about billionaires.

[kryptonix]

It's sad because it should never happen. No one should see the end of the world.

And I was born for it.
