Aw, OL. You seem embarrassed to be participating in heroic traditions. Or is it more that you're concerned about what paranoid traps he might have set up, especially after his Anti-Life exposure? I know I would be.
Still not a signifier of safe passage. Shaman, after all.
I swear, Vic Sage, if that's you talking, after all this hassle...
To be fair, her injuries weren't super-severe. Just a little eye damage and burns that a Silver-Age kryptonian could heal in hours...
Understandable, especially if she's under red sun lamps to make it easier to work on her, and she's feeling the pain of the missing bits...
Admit it, you chuckled too, folks. Accidental dark humour...
True, OL thinks nothing of losing a body part here or there. Kind of disturbing when compared to the average person, mind.
Sadly, OL, there's little stopping a kryptonian that powerful once she starts moving...
Given her vulnerability to magic, I wouldn't be surprised if she could have flown right through an entire magically-concealed temple and not noticed...
...Are the contents of the rooms still there? Given the breeze super-speed would produce...
<Tommy Lee Jones frowning.meme> Sure it was.
An open and shut case, I expect.
This is why the Silver Age Superman kept her hidden in the early years, isn't it? Not as a secret weapon, but because she's so dang much trouble.
Probably some paranoid thing about fluorescent light bulbs, I wouldn't wonder.
Again, shaman. Magical concealment is not a difficult trick, as the Ring-scan warding circles show.
Well, she's got the 'huffy teenage girl' act down pat, if she's not on the up-and-up.
...OL, you did think to recover them, right? Or would that risk exposing something to Lex?
There are probably unwritten rules about that sort of thing. Same reason you don't go after a hero in his civilian identity. Admittedly someone like Clark Kent, being in his pyjamas doesn't make him less invulnerable.
Also little things like evidence being a requirement... Even with the new legal stuff, people just can't lock someone up on the League's say-so.
Or that one alien race that's had several Lanterns in recent years.
Also, he may have any number of plans on dead-man's switches. Plans that might make Scorched Earth doctrines look tame.
That's like just handing him the cookie jar and telling him to eat as much as he likes.
Good grief. One-track mind coupled with the attention span of a sugar-rushing toddler.
...Okay, forget about the squirrels! Not important right now. Focus on the rest of it.
Probably better to let the League politely request them back. More formal and open, where he can't fiddle around.
Joy of too many variables to calculate.
And I suspect he'd rather accomplish his goals with human technology, rather than piggy-backing off a vulnerability like that.
And big picture windows like those are expensive just on size. Never mind materials involved, especially if he went the transparent armour route.
Heck, he could find and expose some unnoticed vulnerability they hadn't picked up on.
Certainly, when you hold a man's 'legacy' in your hand, you hold his full attention.
He should be absolutely ashamed of himself for not pointing out the obvious here.
It's like Dee Dee from Dexter's Lab got Kara's powers.
No, I'm pretty sure 'criminal law' is written rules.
For some reason I really didn't think Kara would lie like that, so for a moment I actually believed that an enemy Supergirl was involved.
I don't think she's the same one, but 'time traveler with some extras' is certainly one of the options.
Definitely not since when she arrived, OL used her to capture him.
IIRC in the comics Silver Age Supergirl had some kind of Super FTL telescope that let her spy on everything that went on on Earth that told her everything that went on in all the previous issues before she showed up.
He can't, this is Silver Age Supergirl, she's immune to all Kryptonite except that from her own universe and can punch her way out of the Phantom Zone.
A good idea. A deep scan like that will mark anything concealed by its sheer absence of presence. Blank spots in an otherwise detailed map. Which can act as a starting point for further examination...
So, in a way, the whole city is his ritual space, with a faint connection to it at any time. At least before the Anti-life.
Propriety and all that. Also, Kara, your name isn't exactly secret.
Even if everyone involved knows you as Kara? And there's no-one else present?
Well, that depends on what order you're counting. I rather suspect local Kara has best claim, having been born in this universe, ohhh..
A couple of decades back, suspended animation notwithstanding?Only if your world is still stuck in something like the 1950s...
Peril of multiple people sharing a superhero name between them. Like the Flashes.
It's hardly a definitive article in this universe, you know.
Eh, bit video-gamey. Especially if she has a male counterpart running around.
Well, you would have to change your outfit.
And on the whole, the name doesn't have the best history otherwise.
Over 52 of them, under various names, depending on the state of the multiverse.
Emancipated minors are a thing. But I suspect this is more 'I don't feel that grown-up'.
Ah, trapped by her own logic.
Careful, your teeth may be indestructible, but it's not good to grind them like that.
Something concerning?
Huh. Either Vic did something drastic, or someone else did.
Sympathetic telepathic call , eh?
In other words, please keep it down, dear. One solid super-shout and the whole deck of magical cards might unravel.
Wonder if that's literal, with the Orange energies forming an outline of him? I'll picture it that way anyway.
Ah, the peril of taking such a nondescript term as a name.
At least they're finally getting to speak.
Yes, compared to that, the only way is up.
Not a priority, oddly. OL can work around that for now.
Though it'll have to be dealt with eventually...
And don't claim you have defences against that sort of thing, as they didn't help with the last time you got close to New God tech.
Not entertaining the possibility that it was 'Bobo's choice? Or is that what the 'might' is for?
...As if that isn't the strangest thing you've ever heard?
Good on you, OL, for not trying to dodge the allegations.
Can we at least get an idea of where..?
Ah, no time wasted, I see.
So he got teleported in the split second between Vic saying they needed to move, and him responding...
Not quite sure what this means. Is it a 'The Question is my real name' situation?
'head'
'Oh,'
'change'
No. He's scrubbed his records. Or at least, something has.
Thank you, corrected.
I can believe Question cooked up and enacted half a plan while hooked up to those machines. Psychic broadcast, or cleaning up pollen his brain sprayed across billions of minds (and spirits). I can believe he was supercharged a bit more than the average person, perhaps receiving a vision of the white entity like the solider in China, and let his plan simmer in the background while he investigated.
Right, makes sense. My first thought is the record-removing spell used by Anarky, but Oh El probably wouldn't be saying he's never seen anything like it if that was the case. Maybe The Question independently figured out something similar.
