This is M. I'm most likely out punching someone. Don't worry, they deserve it.

Probably.

I'll call you back later.

[heliophilic]

Sounds fun. Where should I meet you, man of steel?

[Sure, if it's close enough to civilization he could just Door there, but where's the fun in that?]

[andaway]

[Kal can't help the chuckle.]

I think it's customary for the one asking on a date to pick the other up, so we can meet anywhere you want. Wherever it's easier for you.

[heliophilic]

Oh my, you remembered. And here I thought you were going to forget this was our first date.

I'm currently in... [Yes, he actually has to think about what town his apartment's wedged into right now.] De Chima.

[andaway]

You asked so nicely, how could I forget? [Yeah, he's not gonna be out-asshole'd so easily.]

Alright, I'll find you there. Is now a good time?

[heliophilic]

I was worried that you were just so important you'd forget about little old me. [Not making this easy.]

I can always make time for you.

[andaway]

Uh huh, something tells me you aren't talking about my importance as a compliment. Give me 5 minutes to find you, try to wait outside so I can hear you.

voice; > action;

[heliophilic]

Well if I was inside you certainly wouldn't hear me.

I'll be waiting.

[M Doors to a nearby rooftop, where he waits for his ride like one would a cab.]

action;

[andaway]

[And here's said ride, happily landing next to him with very obviously fake sheepish look.]

Hope I didn't make you wait for long? Pretty sure that's considered rude.

[heliophilic]

[M pushes the sunglasses he's wearing down to the tip of his nose.]

It was a whole three minutes. I think you're losing your touch, boy scout.

[andaway]

Uh huh, because we've worked together so much in the past that you can judge.

How are we doing this? Can you get there following me or should I take you?

[heliophilic]

I thought you wanted to pick me up.

[Not. Making. This. Easy.]

[andaway]

[And so Kal picks him up, bridal style, and starts flying towards the hill without missing a beat. Not gonna make it easy for M to tease him, either.]

Hope you haven't eaten much because I'm aiming for match 4.

[heliophilic]

[Oh, if you think that's going to throw him off you are wrong sir. He even brings his arms up around Supes' neck.]

Well thank you. You just won me a bet. My ex is faster than you.

[Mach 4, pah.]

[andaway]

[Did M expect for that to bother him? Because all Clark does is raise both eyebrows and look down at M with a suddenly very interested look.]

Your ex flies, too?

[heliophilic]

[He'd be disappointed if that's all it took to rattle him.]

Among other things. In fact, some might consider him a god.

[andaway]

[Kal hums as he lands (and yes, he's landing with his trademark ballet position).]

Interesting. Does he have a name?

[heliophilic]

He does.

["Andrew Pulaski."

M expertly slides from Supes' grip.]

Lately he's been going by Apollo.

[andaway]

[That makes Clark chuckle.]

I guess you meant the god-comparison literally then, with that name. So you're not... [He motions up and down at himself.] None of my powers will surprise you, then?

[heliophilic]

If you saw him you'd understand.

[My how bold.]

Please, I used to keep an eye on my version of you before I got here. Finally getting confirmation of what we all believed/read about just by taking a look at you's refreshing but you're just fooling yourself if anything about you took me by surprise.

[andaway]

[Is that a challenge, because it sure as heck sounded like one to him.]

Before we do this, indulge me on a curiosity: how long has your Superman been active in public?

[heliophilic]

[Sure, he came to fight the great and mighty Superman, but hey he can be interviewed instead.]

A little over 5 years ago, why?

[andaway]

[Kal adopts a fighting stance. He's still going to wait for M to make the first move, though.]

Just so I know how much more experience I have with my powers.

feel free to drop with how old this is x.x

[heliophilic]

[M's smirk widens.]

Oh you think I know you from watching the other you from a distance. How quaint.

[Though he doesn't want to make the first move, the fight computer knows that Superman won't, so he lunges straight on at the Kryptonian. He's not actually expecting anything other than to not be taken seriously. Getting the alien's guard down was priority one.]
