Zod hasn't had a good last couple of days. His misunderstanding with Tess was only the beginning of a long downward spiral that finally hit bottom--with a great deal of force--early this morning. To say he's tired and out of sorts would be a gross understatement ( Read more... )

Zod has the unique advantage of being able to treat the phrase 'be right over' quite literally when he wishes to, so there's only a small amount of delay between his use of it and his arrival through the doors of Tess' study. The planning of her upcoming celebration, it seems, is just that urgent of a task ( Read more... )

As much as it was needed, the escape of the previous night is over in no time at all, and Zod and Tess have little choice but to wake up to the real world and the task at hand. Thus no time is wasted in getting back down to the lab to pay other Tess a visit ( Read more... )
