"Yyyup," I say. "Popping out like gremlins." Weirdest experience ever, although not as weird and kind of horrifying as at the end of the weekend, when they all just collapsed back into me. I still get random flashes of whatever they were doing. I thought having someone else's memories was weird -- and it still is -- but remembering being in several places at once is... also weird.

"As someone whose only experience of superpowers is seeing them on the news, I have to say it... wasn't actually very super."



"It comes with its own sort of burden, doesn't it?" I nod somberly, lips pursed in thought. Not that someone in my position would have much of an idea— and that goes beyond speaking for Bruce Wayne. I don't like magic, I don't like the idea of having abilities beyond my control and understanding. I don't like that it automatically comes with a relaxing of one's own standards for training. It's a crutch.

Look at all of the times Clark's been bereft of his powers, then look me in the eye and tell me that it doesn't have its downfalls.

"People might judge you if you don't make the best use of it. Superman, for instance, if you've ever heard of him. He definitely wouldn't be so popular if he weren't doing half of what he does for Metropolis."

"Dentist? No," I say. "We've got lots of doctors," I start ticking them off on my fingers, "several bars, one bakery, one club of ill repute but not that ill, somehow, but no dentist. Which I also won't miss, although now I'm worrying about cavities."

There might be an off-color drilling joke to be made in there, but I am not the girl who will be making it.

"It's passing strange, yeah. Everything is, but that also is. There's less candy but no less desire to see people take their clothes off? Honestly I'd think that being all neighbours would make it a little extra weird, like, constantly running into people who've seen you in the buff. But I also wouldn't be caught dead there so, you know, obviously not of the required mindset."
