Time For A Clean-Up [Open]

[itsaboutaction.livejournal.com]

The past few days had been mind-wracking for the Man of Steel. There were chunks of his memories missing - a lot of them he knew felt wrong. Something was wrong and he couldn't put his finger on it. At the same time, those missing memories were screwing around with something else - things he wanted to do.

Upon seeing the ravaged City after... something tore through it, well, someone had to clean it up.

The artificial sun's bright and warm... yet, it's not enough to actually put me back at full power. At the same time, though... Superman mused. ...this place isn't going to clean itself up. Better get to work...

With that, the hero began a long and tiring task of attempting to repair the City.

The smallest hint of a frown tugged at Terry's mouth at the mention of the Robins. "Yeah, I get that a lot," he said. Something about being a teen just made people doubt him. He didn't really understand why - didn't Static, one of the greatest superheroes in the world, get his start as a teen? And his time period's Green Lantern was only about ten or eleven years old.

Terry was also getting tired of having to explain why he was Batman. I should just start carrying around a vid-screen explaining what happened so people stop asking. "I took up being Batman after the old man - I mean Mr. Wayne - retired," he said, the annoyance evident in his voice just oh-so-slightly.

He hit a nerve. Nice going, Supes.

"Easy, son. I didn't mean anything by it." he said, trying to defuse the situation. "I'm just surprised someone like you would take up such a legacy." He probably didn't have to ask why he took it up - probably something more than just Bruce retiring. "I'm sure, though, you've done Bruce good... even if he is a bit strict."

Of course, he probably had more trust in him than the one who had taken over years ago in his world.

Terry wasn't really mad - just a bit annoyed at having to answer the same questions over and over. And really, who could be mad at Superman? ...Well, actually, he plenty of good reasons to mad at the guy, seeing as he had tried to kill him once, but that was in the past. Or future. Whatever.

The young man snorted. "A bit strict?" He said with a grin, "Kinda an understatement." He did wonder what 'someone like you' was supposed to mean, but he let it go.
