Sure sounds like it.

_{[ He gives you the raised brows, Kara. He smells something fishy, but
he's not sure what as of yet, so he lets it go. ]}

They both sound very... super.

Hey, I didn't name them.

[ probably? probably. Superman already chose his name by the time she showed up ]

All right, so you have two very super people that are possibly related, but in different cities. Anyone else?

There's a speedster in Central City, I think? And someone else in Star City... That's not really our purview at CatCo though. We mostly focus on National City.

_{[ There's a pause as he sips his coffee and turns over those city
names... ]}

Metropolis, Central, Star, National... Your heroes really know how to pick their locations.

_{[ What, was Milwaukee to much of a mouthful? ]}

[ shrugs ]

I didn't name the cities.

Hah, no I didn't mean... I just thought they were very... patriotic names is all.

But does that mean the heroes just stick to one city then?

One city is usually plenty.

[ somehow knowingly ]

They get attacked that often, huh?

It certainly seems like it. Enough to keep the headlines going.

You would think that the bad guys would, you know, pick another city maybe?

Not that I think the heroes do anything to instigate it, but their visibility might be a motivating factor for some of the criminals.

Ah, the whole 'I'm going to be the one to take the guy in the cape down' mentality?

Or woman, but yes. That may be some of it. Maybe.

Maybe? What do you think is the other part of that 'maybe' then?

How should I know? I'm not a supervillain.

Just wondering if you had a theory. I'd certainly ponder it if I lived in a city that was being constantly attacked and needed a super hero, I think.

But at least it keeps city life exciting?

Some like it more than others. We make it work, though.

Humans are like that, aren't they? We make it work.

So...

Anything else on your mind?

Nothing I haven't already talked out a million times already. I'll probably go running in a bit and try and sleep again.

Yeah. Fair enough.

I'll start working up that Mallard Major story.

I expect to have a first draft to share over coffee by Monday morning.

_{[ He gave her a mock serious look, pulling on some of the captain in
him. ]}

Ugh. You're channeling my boss right now.

Just keeping that skill set sharp. Don't want you going back home and feeling like the new fish all over again, do we?
