[ He's been listening in. Everything seems fine with Jon. ]

Are you okay?

[supersweet]

[ Jon blinks before replying. ]

Yeah, dad. I'm fine. I'm used to crazy stuff.

[signifies]

[ Much more than Clark is. ]

Just checking in. Nothing's happened to me.

We might be needed.

[supersweet]

I'm trying to keep an eye on the kids but they're everywhere and they're way worse than me.

[signifies]

[ He's not surprised at all. Jon is a gem. ]

They're not used to no supervision.

Don't worry about what you can't do. There's people we can ask to help us.

[supersweet]

There are?

[ Who??? ]

Is there someone I should talk to?

[signifies]

Not specifically. I was thinking about the locals.

[supersweet]

Oh. That makes sense.

Do you think Riverview would assign them case workers until it wears off?

[signifies]

They might.

The Guard will try to make sure no one heads for the forest, at least.

[supersweet]

If the kids have powers like me, that's not gonna work for very long.

[signifies]

[ Clark sighs. Jon's right, he didn't even think of that. ]

It won't.

Do what you can. I'm going to help Taako.

[supersweet]

Yes sir.

. . . Is everything really fine, dad? For you?

[signifies]

Yeah, I'm okay.

This takes some getting used to.

[supersweet]

Do you mean the changes?

[signifies]

Yes.

It's strange, isn't it? How often do things like this happen?

[supersweet]

The turning small thing is new to me. But it's not that strange. My dad's met all kinds of versions of himself.

I think there's one in China right now too.

[signifies]

[ The world has so much trouble with one Superman. Clark's having a hard time seeing another. ]

Really? Is he Kryptonian?

[supersweet]

No, I don't think so. I think that's still just us and cousin Kara.

[signifies]

[ There's the clone Tim told him about, but Clark will cross that bridge when it comes.

He can go for levity. ]

I'm starting to think we should have some robot dinosaurs. That's the only thing you've mentioned that hasn't happened to me yet.

[supersweet]

[ Wasn't there one in the Bat Cave? Still, Jon isn't going to burst his dad's bubble. ]

You do have some crazy adventures.

[ unsent ]

[signifies]

You are the best adventure I can imagine.

[signifies]

[ He deletes the previous text without sending it. ]

I'm sure I do. I hope you're along for some of them.

[supersweet]

I think I sort of end up on them accidentally. But I'm allowed to involve myself.

[signifies]

All right then :)

Shout if you need anything. I'm heading over to Taako's.

[supersweet]

Yes, sir.

Have fun!
