Chapter 16 by Mr Nice Guy Mr Nice Guy

What's next?

Fine

"Honestly, Clark," Kara was saying, staring at the control panel in front of her, "it was nothing."

"When that villain Black Adam attacked," Diana said from behind her, "he caught me off-guard. The next time he won't be so lucky."

"Well, I'm glad you're doing alright," Clark said, distracted by multiple alert signals on the readouts on the Watchtower displays. With the use of his x-ray vision, he had done a quick inspection of Diana when he first arrived. She, as usual, was in perfect health. He didn't blame her for having her bell rung, though, Black Adam could pack a punch.

"It looks like something is happening in Rio," his cousin Kara said, pointing at one of the screens, "a disturbance involving magnetism. Doctor Polaris?"

"I'll check it out and let you know," Clark said, already moving toward the transport pad. He had only returned to the satellite to find out if Diana, one of his oldest friends, was alright. He couldn't see anything wrong with her, and Kara was quite adamant that whatever oddness she had seen had passed. Still, though, Kara's heartbeat had been elevated while they talked. It couldn't be that his cousin would lie, could it?

"Ray Palmer is there," Diana piped in, tapping a small screen multiple times, "giving a talk at one of the local universities. I'll signal him to be ready to meet you."

"Kara," Clark said as he stepped onto the pad, "Maybe you and I should sit down and talk. We haven't really connected in a..."

"Can't we do this later?" Kara sounded frustrated, "Seriously, Clark, lives are at stake. This is a job for Superman."

The familiar buzzing of the transporter engaged and suddenly Clark found himself in Brazil. With his super-hearing, he could hear screaming on the other side of town. There was something else, too, a strange scent in the air, something unfamiliar. Whatever it was, he wasted no time heading into danger. Kara was right. Whatever the ladies were up to was none of his business. Being Superman meant that you had to trust your family to take care of themselves, because the whole world needs you. Kara and Diana were fine. There was nothing to worry about.

Right?
