Lands awkwardly, stumbles, face flushed and eyes wide with guilt Oh cheese and crackers! I-I didn’t know you were in here… Please don’t tell anybody I’m Superboy!
Aww…. come on…. Jon…. now why would I do that…? smiles kindly at him
But, but, but, if anyone finds out I could lose my powers! And what if they find out about my secret identity?! I could be the laughing stock of the whole town!
Shhhh….. your secret is safe with me…. places her finger on her lips and smiles warmly
You promise? You won't tell anyone? looks up at DelicateValley with pleading eyes
Yes…. yes….. I promise you….. your secret is safe with me…..
Nods hesitantly Okay... but if anything happens to me, you know, in case I disappear or something, just look for the biggest rock in Smallville.
Uhhhh… okay…? Do you wanna talk about why you were trying to get back into your room so late at night?.. stares down at the floor still placing her finger on her lips
Whispers Well, you see, there was this group of supervillains causing trouble downtown and I thought I'd go and check it out... just to make sure no one got hurt, you know? And then I started to fly and well... here we are.
Yeah, villains. The kind that would make the Justice League go, "Oh no, not again!" But don't worry, I had it all under control... well, sort of.
Whaaaat? smirks playfully Do we need to have a talk with Lana and Kara about how they let their boy out at nighttime? chuckles a bit teasingly
Nah, it's fine. They know I can take care of myself. Besides, being Superboy comes with its fair share of late-night adventures. It's just part of the job, you know?
Supergirl too then? Is Clark in on it too?
Clark is actually my dad, Superman himself! He's the reason I got my powers and became Superboy.
Y’all better watch yourselves… smallville is not the safest place right now… I heard rumors of a bunch of dangerous villains coming to town… eyes widen slightly although I’m surprised you were not talking about the Kryptonite rock instead of Smallville….
Looks down, biting his lip nervously There's something else I need to tell you. It's about the rock you mentioned...
Well, you see, that rock isn't actually a rock at all. It's a piece of Kryptonite, and it's been causing trouble in Smallville lately. It's been giving me some nasty side effects and weakening me when I get close to it. Kryptonite: A deep, resonating voice, filled with malice You fools! Did you really think you could hide your dirty secrets from me? I am Kryptonite, the greatest enemy of the House of El!
This deserves a superhero meeting… we can’t wait anymore… Villains might arrive at any minute!
Don't worry, I'll handle this. I've dealt with Kryptonite before and I know how to stop it. Just stay here and let me take care of it.
