paradisa | (no subject)

[For someone who just showed up in a completely different universe, this young voice sounds excited. If someone were to see him, it would look like he’s talking to thin air, not realizing he’s being recorded. Surely Superman’s super hearing can hear him, no matter where he is. Mommy Lois did it before!]

Daddy Clark! Daddy Clark, I’m back, I got out! I don’t know how, but I’m not in the Phantom Zone anymore! I think it’s just me who got back... I don’t see any other rockets or people from there and I made sure to stay away from everybody else.

Uhm... [The slightest bit of worry and hesitation creeps into his tone.] I’m... not sure where I am. I don’t think this is Metropolis... There’s a really big castle and a little town nearby. Mommy Lois said if I ever got lost that I was supposed to stay in one place until you found me so I’m gonna wait here. And don’t worry, I haven’t used any of my powers! I’m keeping them secret ‘cause there are people walking around who can see me if I do.

Oh, I found this really cool book too! It writes down whatever you say! Maybe Mommy Lois can use it for writing her papers or taking notes when she interviews people.

[There are a few moments of silence as he waits for an answer. Then...] Daddy Clark...? You can hear me, right...? [The tone is growing increasingly worried.]

Oh, no, I'm just fine. The book is like a phone, it lets us talk to each other and send written messages.

Oh. That'd be weird if you were really stuck in a book.

So this is a phone book...? Can I use it to talk to Mommy Lois too...?

It would be.

I don't see why not!

Is she okay? And you too? What happened after I was gone?

She's fine, as am I... but things are fuzzy. This place seems to have done something to my memories - I can't remember what it was I was doing before I showed up here.

ooc: hittin' the hay! be back in like 12 hours :9

This place...? What do you mean? Where are we?

We're in another world called Paradisa.

How'd we get here...?

The castle itself brought us here. It has that kind of power.

Hey.

Hey is for horses Clark.

In this case, "hey" is for "cut it out, and don't impersonate me, especially not to little kids."

You? I'm not impersonating you,, Clark.

[Annoyed]

You know what I mean. Your name isn't Clark, nor are you his guardian, so don't answer to it.

Clark

[Okay, he's a little skeptical now.] Castles aren't like people. Castles are buildings. They don't have powers.

It's true! It can even grant wishes. Go ahead - ask for something.

I want to see Mommy Lois. [Waits... Waits...]

It doesn't work.

Try something... simpler.

[Pretty much reeling here, but wow, he needs to step in on this.]

... Chris?

[What are filters, haha.]

... Who's this?

[Wow. He's talking to his future kid.]

Clark. [pause.] Superman. Sit tight, I'll be there in a second.

[And so he is, blinking into sight as he comes out of superspeed.]

[He shouldn't be surprised by it but he jumps a little because... this guy looks similar but not exactly the same. Chris takes a small step back apprehensively, clutching his journal.]

... You're not him. You're different. And I was just talking to Daddy Clark.

[he keeps his distance, just so he doesn't scare the kid, and he kneels down to be closer to his level.]

I'm younger. The guy you were just talking to is Cyborg Superman pretending to be me. Do you know about him?

[He shakes his head, pausing for a moment before speaking deliberately in Kryptonian.] Can you understand me?

[He smiles, replying in Kryptonian in turn:]

Of course, kiddo.
