Zara continued, "I only say capture in deference to Clark's stated desire of avoiding killing anyone. Rest assured, Nor does not suffer from similar scruples. If he can, he will kill you and he would not hesitate to kill a woman, either, so, don't think that your sex provides you with any immunity. Nor is a vile, unscrupulous, treacherous ... well, you get the picture. If we lose, I could be forced into a life bond with him and I really don’t want that."
This is Zara's voice perfectly, a mixture of determination and anger. The very *last* thing this woman wants is to submit herself to such a man.
2013 Lois added, “What are we going to do about natural disasters, crime and accidents while all of this combat is going on?”
Local Lois added in a worried tone, “I hadn’t thought of that. I need to at least notify MPD that we will be unavailable.”
They are all pledged to save and protect the people of Earth, but wouldn't it be rather difficult to depart in the middle of this important battle to attend to an emergency - no matter what it may be? After all, if Nor and his ilk take over Planet Earth, a minor earthquake might be the
least of humanity's concern.
2091 Clark looked around at the rest of the superheroes gathered there and received nods from each. He turned to Ching and local Clark and said, “We weren’t forced to be here. When Herb picked us up, he told us that there was a Lois and Clark couple that needed our help. None of us even asked if it would be dangerous, I guess we all knew that it would be, without asking. The danger doesn’t enter into the calculation. We all face danger every day. None of us are about to leave, so we need to stop all of this defeatist talk and decide how best to handle the situation so that we win.”
Classy Clark, very classy.
