First Light | [Action/Voice]

[After a few hours trekking into the village from the forest, a tall, shirtless man dressed only ins simply white pants will be heading to a store in the village. It won't be the clothing store though, but instead the Smithy itself. If you happen to be in the weapon shop today, you'll find him looking around for his Power Ring

[A few moments after John sends out his message, this response is heard.]

John, this is Clark. Can you tell me where you are?

The marketplace. I think it's better we meet somewhere a little more discreet. Have a place in mind?

I'm currently at the Welcome Center. It's where people expect the new arrivals to go, so nobody's going to raise an eyebrow about you heading down there. As for privacy, I've got my own room for the moment.

[Voice- 99% Filtered -> Action]

[greenlongjohns]

That should do just fine.

[And in just a minute, John will be entering the Welcome Center, glancing around momentarily to locate Clark.]

[Action]

[Clark moved out to the entryway when John said he was coming, so it doesn't take too long for them to bump into each other.]

John! Good to see you. [He heads over with a good old Supes smile.]

[Action]

[greenlongjohns]

[John gives him a smart nod.] Clark. [It's still a bit unusual speaking to 'Superman' in his alterego, especially given that John was only made aware of it a few months ago. But there's more pressing business.] It seems you've settled in.

[Action]

[lookslikeajob]

Well I've had the advantage of about a month on you.

[He waves John after him as he leads the way to his room.] Did you get a chance to look over the guide?

[Action]

[greenlongjohns]

That I have. Talked to a few people as well. [He gives the slightest indication of a smirk as he follows Clark.] Including Molly Hayes. I didn't know you were in the business of telling your secret identity to little kids.

[Action]

[lookslikeajob]

[That gets a frown, but of a puzzled rather than displeased sort.] I'm not. She already knew. She knows who Batman is too... don't know about the rest of you. I gather she didn't recognize you?

[Action]

[greenlongjohns]

No, she didn't. What is she, Teen Titans? [She didn't mention anything of the sort, but it was a possibility given her apparent powers.]

[Action]

[lookslikeajob]

No, she's... This is going to sound pretty darn strange, but from what she's told me, it sounds like she's from an alternate Earth, one where Superheroes... or at least, the ones we know, are stars in comic books.

[Action]

[greenlongjohns]

[He gives that a moments thought before answering.] Not that strange, given that alternate world with the Justice Guilde we ran into over a year ago. [Superman wasn't on that mission, but he knows that he definitely heard about it.]

[Action]

[lookslikeajob]

[There's a long pause as Superman racks his brain.] Don't think I remember that one, John.

[Action]

[greenlongjohns]

You weren't there. [Maybe Clark forgot? He's a busy guy.] It was a month after Aresia managed to poison us and the male population of Metropolis.

[Action]

[lookslikeajob]

Aresia... Name's not ringing any bells. And I know I'd remember something like that. [He folds his arms.]

This is going to sound odd, John, but... are you sure I'm the Clark Kent you know?

[Action]

[greenlongjohns]

It wouldn't be the first time I've run into the wrong one. [Still, he's a little skeptical. He's only ran into three alternate worlds before.] We started the Justice League three years ago. You, me, Bruce, Diana, J'onn, Wally, and Shayera.
