"Fuck." Power Girl said. "Well...we can toss that one on the pile of fix it. We gotta...we just gotta." She looked aside, thinking.
"What?" Miss Martian asked.
"Wonder if there is anything to Dr. Banner's research that could help..." Karen pondered.
--------
They could hear her on the other side of the door.
"...to requote myself: J. Jonah Jameson is too over eager to chase unfounded leads. I didn't say he was spreading fake news, I said he didn't commit to the research, and if he even thinks for one second of denying Mary Jane Watson the option of a rehire, I will GLADLY snatch her up. But if he is wise, he will prove to be the bigger man and do so. Because he is in the business of reporting fact, and fact is, Miss Watson was fired over a clone framing her for murdering her best friend. So the girl better also get the offer of a raise, therapy and the biggest damn apology he can muster. Is that good enough of a case for you? Good. Now if you excuse me, I got a lunch to reorder as my old one is cold." The phone slammed down. "Goddamn you Fox news. In any reality, you are a hack job organi...." She paused. "Did someone knock?"

"Perhaps they will... too bad the papers and everyone in the world say that he's dead. However, with Regime Superman around, the possibility of more than one Banner existing is quite likely." said Hal. --- "It's Clark Kent, I brought Professor Halberstam with me." said Clark. "Feisty lady... I like it." remarked Halberstam as he kept looking for his book of matches.

"You say to the second Kara Zor-El in your presence Hal." Karen said, reminding him of her true name. "Just saying. And dead...who here hasn't been?"
Chris raised his hand.
"Cute." Karen shook her head.
-----------
"CLARK? ONE SECOND!!!" It took a full two minutes of assumed preening and touch ups before they were let in. "Sorry, I...wanted to look presentable for you Clark." She smiled as she let them in.

She smiled as she let them in. "I know... I was just trying hard." remarked Hal. "I have never experienced death either." said Luana. --- "Oh, that wasn't needed, Cat. You always look good." said Clark smoothly. "Here is the man you were interested in. Professor Halberstam, this is Cat Grant." Halberstam stopped searching for matches and raised his hand for a handshake. "Miss Grant, a pleasure to meet you... Mr. Kent has told me a lot about you, but you look much fairer and beautiful in person." said Halberstam.

"Way to go Second Cousin." Chris held up his hand for a high five.
"You are Clark's kid. You have his dork timing." Karen said. "Help Tomar keep the peace Kid, we won't belong." Karne took flight.
"Keep an eye on my daughter for me." Megan said.
"Will do." Chris smiled.
----------
"It's always needed Clark. I have to look my best. I have a rep." Cat said as she looked at his hand. "Thank you, but Clark should have warned you. Bit of a Germophobe. A few bad runs at the bugle got me sicker than a dog, so I became wary. Still..." He took his hand. "...I assume you're not so bad if he brought you."

She smiled sweetly as she hugged him, feeling safe with him. --- "Oh, no need to worry... I made sure to wash my hands well." said Halberstam. "Ummm... do you have a match, Miss Grant? I seem to have misplaced my book of matches."

"I never died. The times I went to Hell was a Zatanna spell and Nebiros summoning me." Dan spoke up.
Chris hugged Carla. "Go save your Dad." He said to Luana.
Non looked around.
"Looking for Younger Kara?" Chris asked him.
Non looked and nodded.
"She did kinda poof, didn't she?" Chris commented.
"Did anyone see where a blonde girl in Superman colors went?" Chameleon asked the Joes.
------------
"You know...I hate it but...I can't be mad at Guy." Karen said as they began to leave. "It does suck that he left us. I mean he was close to being clobbered for the swearing but...Robbie was holding back those troops." She made a face. "I love him enough to call him out I guess. not blinded by love."
-------------
"No smoking on this floor. I do offer gum to hold one over. My secretary is asthmatic. Plus my Grandma passed from Lung Cancer years ago. Kinda left a mark on me." Cat said. "I always used to tell Perry to dial back out of concern, didn't I Clark?"

Luana nodded and took off, following Hal, Megan and Power Girl. "Supergirl was heading for Cybertron to help Sapphire and the others." said Carla. "Our guys are there too." said Hawk. --- "Yes, you did... however, he still has his pipe with him." said Clark. "Well, I understand that." said Halberstam as he put his pipe back on his pocket. "Gum sounds like it could be nice at this time."

Non let out an upset growl.
"What is up with Chatty Kathy?" Guy looked over.
Non looked at Guy and then Tomar and did some kind of gesture the more familiar Lantern would get. "Her Aunt, his estranged wife Astra has been around. That was a gesture used in the marriage ritual, so I understood his intention." Tomar said. "Astra and her were very close and he worries for his niece. She was sent with them to the Phantom Zone for trying to help Zod overthrow the government and force a solution on them. Sadly it could have saved lives but how they went about it was rough. She long sought to bring the daughter of Alura under her wing as they were close."
"Oh..well...fuck." Guy looked at Non. "As is she hard on him for his...issues?"
Non hung his head.
"That's a load of crap. You made fucking strides Non. You're a good man again." Guy said.
"Seriously, is this Earth-3 super nice Guy Gardner?" Fire asked.
"That literal Guy is fake nice and a disturbed, disloyal killer. Like a serial killer Mr. Rogers." Guy looked at Fire. "Apparently he is also dead for pissing off their Silver Cyclone."
"Oh...shit." Fire said.
---------
"Well its understandable. And thank you." Cat opened a drawer. "She got me several flavor, got specific mint choice or something Sir?"

"She got me several flavor, got specific mint choice or something Sir?" "Damn... so she was interested in making Linda part of Zod's guys?" said Batgirl. "That's pretty messed up, man..." --- "Just regular mint, thank you." said Halberstam. "Mr. Kent told me that you were interested on my archaeologic work."

"No, just her ally. Astra isn't quite the fan of Zod. She just hates that humans are making similar mistakes Kryptonians did." Chris Kent said about his relative. "So it's is more enemy of my enemy. But...Astra can be turned. It almost happened in my time. We just...didn't have Dad to back Kara up."
Non looked over at him.
"We can try Uncle." Chris said.
----------
"Yes. Suffice it to say, we're more than just latest trends here. Got to look at the past as well as the present and future. Besides...if you don't educate, why are you wasting ink and film? That's Morgan Edge's job." Cat said to him. "And I did have some interest in the subject in college. My roommate was all about it, and while not my career choice...I lived vigorously through her and learned a few things." She glanced at him.

"Well, I hope we can fix that too." --- "Ah, excellent. It might make for a very nice chat." said Halberstam. "And it's fortunate Mr. Kent got a hold of me now, because tomorrow I'm heading back to Egypt, they want me to translate hieroglyphs and make sense of some of the reliefs around the Temple of Tush." "I was thinking we could do a joint CatCo/Daily Planet exclusive about the archaeologic dig." said Clark. "Not only will you get a story about the Temple of Tush, but you'll get to cover an expedition as well. You could send one of your people with us, unless you want to go and cover the story with me."

(Continued from "The Start of a New Rule")
Kilowog looked up and saw a mist coming towards them.
"EVERYONE GET BEHIND ME!!!" yelled Kilowog as he made a protective dome.
Carla, Kevin, Batgirl and Dr. Fate got behind him. Fate aided Kilowog by increasing the power of his ring. General Hawk and Sgt. Slaughter also got into the barrier.
"What is that stuff?" uttered the Sarge.
---
Clark then noticed Halberstam was looking out the window.
"Professor?" asked Clark.
"Look at that!!!" said Halberstam before the mist engulfed him and Clark.
Clark and Halberstam were... normal.
"What?" uttered Halberstam before thinking. "The powers of my Golden Pharaoh staff must be protecting the people near me. I have it in my briefcase."

"Some sort of bioweapon." Tomar Re said. "And it is planetwide."
----------
Cat looked around. "What is going on out there?"

"Some sort of bioweapon." Tomar Re said. "And it is planetwide." ---------- Cat looked around. "What is going on out there?" "Yeah... and I think I know who's responsible for it." said Kid Flash as he zipped into the barrier. --- Halberstam looked through the window. "Two-Face has contaminated the city!!!" said Halberstam. "WHAT?" uttered Clark before taking a look and seeing the civilians turned into Two-Faces.
