| "Look, we do not need more insanity right now," Queen Astra put in
as the man from Krypton looked down at Susannah Dean. "We can all agree
that this is a rather chaotic situation that is very stressful, and frankly
Mulder and Scully were actually adding to it. With them asleep,
we hopefully should be able to sort things out just a little easier."
While she had the upmost respect for the Mulder and Scully that had
joined up with Probe's outfit back on Terra Prime (UNIT), these
two before her had struck her as something very much the fool. Trusting
her gut instinct which had served her so well first as an Amazonian warrior
princess and then as an Amazonian queen, she'd seen them more of an obstacle
to be overcome and had Ama'lis put them out of the way for the time being.
Though the other guy who'd gotten caught had seemed reasonable enough,
at least he wasn't causing any problems asleep as well.
Now for this Superman before them. She'd heard and seen some
things about him, and Gods help them if it was true!
"Besides which, if we were out for blood, we'd have put you out
as well," Eddie put in, "Even if you are the real Superman–something
which my gut is telling me is true– then you'd go out like a light. Superman
may be ultra-powerful, but I did happen to read during my....more lucid
times...about how he had no immunity to magic what so ever."
"Ah, right," Astra put in, making a note about that last factiod, "What
we need to do is let Betty get healed. Surely you don't have an objection
to that, Kal-el?"
"Why do you keep calling me Superman or Kal-el?" Clark Kent asks
in exasperation, trying to dodge. "I'm not....."
Eddie, acting on impulse and moving swiftly (and surprising the
Man of Steel), leaps forward and tears open Clark's shirt....revealing
the red and yellow "S" symbol that all are familiar with who've seen Superman
in action.

 "Well, that
answers that, doesn't it," Jake mutters as Kent looks at Eddie in outrage,
"Not that the glasses and mild manners makes a good disguise, but that
outfit
kind of cuts it, does it not?"
