002 Second Flight - Video (+Avengers filter)

[Here he is at last, on video, Clark Kent holds it at a slightly jaunty angle, and after a little adjustment this way and that manages to get his face and shoulders into view. He's in dull, khaki brown, an oversized duster slung over the top of a smarter looking dark suit and white shirt. A red tie is the only homage to his true colours. The

[ ... Sixteen years younger and it's still the same idiotic smile- well, it works pretty well. Need to hunch his shoulders a litttle more, though posture's hard to see through video. ]

[ Okay fine. It's not horrible, he's not entirely incompetent. It's obvious he has practice - has he met Lois yet? - and- fine, fine, Bruce can admit that he's good. ]

[ But seriously? Fruit picking? You can take a farm boy out of Kansas, but you cannot take the Kansas out of the farm boy. Even in an alternate universe. Why does he get the same urge to roll his eyes as he did back home- well, might as well give in.

He has his own show to start. ]

There's actually fruit around here to pick? [ He so doesn't get out much. ]

I was surprised too. A city island like this doesn't usually try and support itself.

Especially not with fruit.

And, if you're looking for a role call-- I'm Peter.

I can't imagine New York giving it a try, can you?

[The expression breaks just for a moment, from serious to concerned, and then Clark smiles.]

Clark Kent. Nice to meet you, Peter.

I don't think Darwin gives out awards. He just works on the monster guide.

Oh-if you go fruit picking, don't try doing it after siren. Grayson's is really dangerous then.

I was thinking more traditional fruit than experimental ones. [Besides, SERO has him on their wanted list.] Something where you can sneak one or two while you're working and you're not going to grow horns or scales or something. [He's laughing about it now.]

There's nothing weird about Grayson's fruit in the daytime-it's just really good. Makes good ice cream, too.

So what does it do at night that's so special that people would put themselves in danger for it?

[azarathmetrion]

...that's some act you've got going.

[video, Avengers filter]

[isitablurred]

Thanks. I think. Anything I ought to work on? Except for my filters, apparently.

[azarathmetrion]

Fruit picking season was a nice touch.

Then again, I imagine you weren't acting. And that you'll do better the less you act. Keeping an identity seems like a lot of work.

Definitely a farm boy at heart. I can't really help myself with that.

[His smile is warm, friendly.]

It's worth it, though. I don't think people would look at me quite the same way otherwise. This is really who I am, in a way, and I think if I lost sight of that, I'd lose sight of myself, too.

voice; batcryptions!

[girlyboywonder]

...Not bad. Guess that makes us even for the sewing job, then.

voice; batcryptions!

[isitablurred]

Good to hear it. Nothing to add, then, Robin? More eyebrow? Less? [He waggles them teasingly.]

[girlyboywonder]

[ pffft. ] None of that, and I figure you'll be fine.

Real test is in person, though.

[isitablurred]

Now that I know. You could tell Lois anything over the phone and she'd believe it; one look at my face, and except for the important stuff she could always see right through.

At least people here weren't seniors with me, right? They don't know what to expect.
