is it a dream that comes crashing down on me Occasionally, Emily knew that she really should stop all this. She was an amateur. She didn't know what she was doing. But that didn't always stop her when she stared into her mirror, pulled on her costume, took a deep breathe, and put on the wig. Make that change. Maybe she was a little messed up in the head. Maybe she really was crazy like her mom, but at least she wasn't to the same extent. It was just easier like this. Put on the wig and let herself slip into her own mental change. Was she always in control of it, though? Or was she really Karen whenever she put it on. She didn't really know. What she did know, though, was she was at least consciously aware of what was going on this time. And that was what mattered. "Alright! Let's do this!" There seemed to be a bit of excitement lighting up her eyes as Karen seemed to become the one fully in charge. She said see ya to her two pets, shifted into a cloud of gray smoke, and sifted through the crack underneath the window and, just like that, she was off into the night. Travelling like this made everything easy and, so long as the breeze was light, she could hitch a ride on it rather than it scatter her around. It felt so nice, too, riding on the wind like this. How she could see, how she could hear and smell and talk was still a mystery to her but she wasn't going to complain. She could see everything around her and, as she moved through the air, the sounds of an alarm filled her ears. Keeping herself together, she moved down towards the building. It wasn't anything big, just some idiot stealing from a corner store. They had broken the glass and, as she moved through it, she could see the man fumbling with getting the money from the cash register. Considering how dark it was, he never saw the smoke come in and, before he even knew it, the thick smoke pulled back together, twisting and forming her body again before it solidified. Karen concentrated a moment on making just her left arm semi-smokey, the wisps spreading out as she reached it across the space. Her hand was still solid and she tapped the man on the shoulder. "Gee, I'm real sorry, sir, but we're closed right now. Just like my fist!" With a bit of a smirk, she closed her hand up and bunched him hard in the face before she focussed on bringing her arm back. "Oh, i am so sorry. My hand, it just slipped! Now, why don't you put the money back and come quietly, yeah?" He didn't really see it her way. Oh well! He jumped over the counter and charged at her, though she say it coming. It was just so predictable. She faked a yawn as she sighed stepped it, her cape pulling around her. One foot went out to the side, tripping him as he went past. Coming up behind him, she gripped him by the back of his shirt and twisted his arms behind his back. "Now, I'm really sorry about this, but i just can't let you get away. These nice people paid good money to keep this place running. I can't have some small time crook messing it up for them!" She pulled him with her, keeping his arms twisted tight behind his back until she found some duct tape. She'd be back later to put the money on the counter but until then, she wrapped the hell out of his wrists to keep them from coming loose. With the alarms already going off, she knew the cops were already on their way. So she waited. And as the sirens got closer and closer, she smirked. "Well buddy, it looks like your ride is here!" She chuckled. As the cars pulled up, she pushed him through the broken door. He stumbled and the cops soon had him but before they would have the chance to catch her as well, she was a cloud of smoke again, moving through the air towards the roof opposite the corner store. With a big smile, she reformed on the ledge of the roof and stretched. "The night is still young! Where else should we go? Well, after the show, of course. Gotta make sure the cops get him out of there, right?" She mused to herself. xxx | @open | hopefully this is open enough for someone to steal! ^^ |
all that i hope, is it just smoke and mirrors? ✿

John could be seen with his kryptonian armor covering most of his body entering Earth's atmosphere after attending a mandatory meeting that all reserve Justice League members needed to attend to retain their membership. The meeting covered the activities the League has been doing since the last meeting, the latest super villain activities as well as new super villains that have entered the fray. As he entered the atmosphere, he appeared to be a red ball of fire in the sky as a result of the friction heating up his body. While this would normally incinerate a human in an incredibly painful manor, it had no effect on the kryptonian hybrid as a result of his invulnerability. As the young hero flew down towards the planet head first, he could hear a robbery taking place in Metroplosis, so he used his super vision to see what was happening and he saw a red haired hero fighting off the criminal. John knew that the hero was Myst, who has been fighting crime for about a year now and while they were both heroes in Metropolis, the two had yet to run into each other. In John's personal opinion, it was because he was able to detect and get to the crime scenes first as a result of his super speed and senses. And it was understandable for her not to show up when there were planetary threats that only someone of John's level of power could handle.
He saw the woman turn to smoke and make her way towards the rooftop where she reformed and mused to herself as to what to do next. Figuring that this would be the perfect opportunity for both heroes to meet each other, John made a graceful descent towards the roof with his cape fluttering in the wind. "Doesn't seem necessary for a low level criminal like him. Unless you know something about him that I don't" said John in the confident and commanding tone of voice he usually used in his Superman persona.
When the man of steel's feet touched the ground, he smiled and extended his hand towards her gesturing her to shake it. "It's nice to finally meet you Myst, I'm Van-El, but you probably know me better as Superman"

A blue sedan went speeding down a major Metropolis street. The sedan weaved in and out of traffic before running two red lights. The blue and red lights of the police cruisers followed. Jor had been visiting some of his friends in Centennial Park during this and moved to intervene. He landed in front of the car and fired two quick bolts of heat vision into the radiator, followed by another two to the front tires, causing them both to melt and become gummy.
The Boy of Steel held out his hands and caught the speeding car, slowing it almost completely, but still being pushed back a ways by it. After a few moments and about 30 feet, the car stopped. Jor was slightly winded by the sensation. That bothered him, but he filed it in the back of his mind for later. The driver reached out the window with a 9 mm. handgun and Jor took it from him, crushing it. "Please remain in the car until the police arrive. You should not have robbed the bank. It is not very nice to take what does not belong to you. Please disarm yourselves."
The two thugs on the passenger side, rolled their windows down and dropped their weapons out the window. The man directly behind the passenger seat went to roll his window down and instead just discharged his sub-machine gun directly at Jor. The bullets hit Jor in the chest and staggered him back. Pain flared through his system as the bullets impacted. It wasn't enough to break the skin, but he could feel the bruises forming. His powers were waning again. That would not do. Superboy reached into the car and took the gun from the man.
"Please do not do that. Someone could get hurt." He crushed the magazine and trigger, setting the gun down as the squad cars pulled up. Jor heard something that piqued his attention from a few blocks down. The mention of Van-El and Superman. The datalink from his Fortress to Kal-El's fortress in the Arctic said something about a son. "Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice night." Jor took a running leap and landed on a nearby roof. He took another one and was airborne again. His powers were back again. He could already feel the worst of the bruises starting to heal. Telescopic vision showed him a slightly older man in Kryptonian armor and a girl in a costume talking.
Superboy landed with a bit of a thud. He'd been intending to be a bit more graceful, but his powers were being stranger than normal today. He looked nervously at the two new people. "Greetings. I am Superboy. It is nice to meet you... Both of you."

is it a dream that comes crashing down on me Karen's blue eyes stayed trained on the cops, her legs swinging lightly as she watched. Her cape was caught in the wind, waving gently behind her as the officers managed to properly cuff the perp and get him into the back of their car. She almost wish she had been paying more attention to her surroundings. Maybe then she would have heard the Kryptonian coming. Shame, she would have loved to actually see that entrance. It wasn't until he was speaking that she even realized. The faux redhead leaned back, her head tilting backwards as she looked up at the man. The second her eyes landed on him, though, she gasped. She felt herself lose balance and fell back completely, her head hitting the roof lightly. "Hi there! Oh, gosh, this is an honor, really!" she chirped, letting herself remain in that lying down position so she could just stare up at him. Her father used to tell her stories about Superman. She never would have believed she would ever get the chance to meet him herself. "Oh right, you said something, didn't you? Yeah... i don't think there's anyhing really wacky about him.but i never know so i like to make sure the cops get the perps into their vehicles safe and sound!" She grinned up at him. As he landed and extended his hand out to her, she found it in herself to pull herself into a standing position. She felt herself want to run a hand over her head first to make sure her hair was alright but she didn't, instead going right to taking his hand and giving it a shake. "Oh my gosh, you actually know who i am? I can't believe it! It is so nice to meet you! I never would have dreamed it would ever actually happen!"She was getting ready to gush more when a much less graceful landing behind her made her jerk around. For a moment, she felt the molecules in her body prickle, wanting to dissipate into smoke from all the excitement but she kept herself together, which was a miracle in and of itself. Superboy he said? Superman and Superboy in the same night? How cool was that! Karen almost wanted to take a picture, an urge that came more so from the inner Emily underneath this other persona. "Well aren't i just a Super magnet tonight!" she chuckled before offering her hand to the younger hero. "You can call me Myst! It's very nice to meet you!"all that i hope, is it just smoke and mirrors? ✿

After the red head took notice of the red caped hero, she immediately lost her balance and fell onto her back with the back of her head hitting the roof. The kryptonian hybrid looked down at her with concern as he used his x-ray vision to see if she sustained any serious head injury from the fall just in case the injury was more than meets the eye. "Are you okay?" asked John in a concerned tone of voice before the heroine began to speak in a way that could best be described as geeking out telling him that it was such an honor meeting him. The kytponian hybrid blushed a little as he still wasn't used to such praise, especially when he was still new to the whole superhero life and listened to her explain that while there didn't seem to be anything wacky going on, she liked to see if the cop put the criminal into the car safe and sound. This sounded reasonable, but that didn't explain why she was following the cop car. "Still, I wouldn't worry about it once they get into the car. The criminals can't open the door from the inside and it is very difficult to do something while cuffed" explained John.
After introducing herself, Myst took hold of Myst's hand and pulled herself up before telling him that she was very surprised that he actually knew who she was and that she never dreamed that the two heroes would actually meet. This made the 20 year old raise his eye brows in surprise since he always thought that he would have run into her eventually. "Really? I always figured that we'd run into each other considering how we are in the same line of work and operate in the same city" explained John before hearing a thud. He would turn towards the direction of the source and saw a teenage boy wearing black and red with the house of El logo. Using his super vision, John took a quick look at Jor's DNA and realized that he was 100% kryptonian which took John back since he did not expect to see a pure kryptonian. Especially when they were nearly extinct.
"It's nice to meet you too Superboy. My name is Van-El, are you a survivor from the planet Krypton or somewhere else?" asked John hoping that it was the former. After all, the only survivors outside of the super family were criminals from the Phantom Zone and survivors from New Krypton who would probably hold a grudge against Earth and the super family.

Jor was confused by the whole situation. The girl shook his hand and introduced herself as Myst. Jor gave her a smile and cursory scan. Her genetic code seemed rather interesting. He would make a note to ask her to study it at some point. Then his mind went back to processing the man in Kryptonian clothing. He tried not to be nervous as Van-El introduced himself. A cursory scan of the Superman's DNA confirmed that he was in fact, a genuine member of House EL, even if his DNA had intermingled with human DNA. Several of Jor's subroutines woke up at that moment. He had not expected to find the Scion of House El alive. The Boy of Steel dropped to one knee before Superman.
"I am Kryptonian Astrometric Probe 25. I am the 25th model created by Jor-El. I am the last surviving device of my kind to my knowledge. My mission was to map out star systems for the eventual resettlement of Krypton or baring permission from the Science Council, a location for Kal-El to be safely sent. I detected the presence of Kryptonian technology at several sites on this world, so I came to investigate and created a Kryptonian form for myself. I was not aware any Kryptonians still existed." He took a pause and looked up to John. "My primary protocol is to serve the Scion of the House of El. With the confirmation of your existence, it has been reactivated. I am at your command."
There was a quiet pause as Jor contemplated all of this. He had heard there might have been a few Kryptonians left, but he didn't actively seek them out, for fear that they would order him to shut down. Now that he had encountered one, his programming took over. "I know that my primary programming is complete, and I should be shut down, but I have come to enjoy this planet and am seeking a new purpose. I would request that you do not shut me down. Though that is your prerogative and I will follow your orders if that is the case."

is it a dream that comes crashing down on me Karen nodded her head vehemently when he asked if she was okay, pretty happy for a moment that she knew how to put her wig on to make sure it wouldn't even look like she was wearing one. It's natural look was always her biggest advantage, or that's what she liked to believe. Still, there was utter shock that he was here coursing through her. "Oh yes! I'm super okay! Never been better! Don't worry about me, Superman!" she chirped. Shaking her head the way she had been, though, actually left her with a bit of pain. Not too bad, though, and not enough to distract her from Superman! She supposed he had a point. Two heroes in Metropolis? They were bound to meet, right? But she had just never thought it would happen. It wasn't like she was that great of a hero, or even a famous one. She didn't have the name of some predecessor that she had taken up. No, Karen had to start from scratch (although she had recently learned she might have unknowingly taken the name from a villain. Who would have guessed?) If that were the case, it meant she needed to work even harder! And, well, it wasn't like she was worth the effort to find or interact with. She took on petty criminals that probably didn't actually need her intervention. It wasn't like cops couldn't handle those guys. But she had to start small, she knew that. Start small and work her way up! She didn't make a comment on any of that, though, not with this Jor guy now turning focus to Van-el. She watched, confused for a moment. She wasn't sure just what was going on now. It seemed the... did he call himself a probe? There was no way he was a robot, was there? He looked so human! No, that couldn't be right. She glanced from side to side before turning away and taking herself back over to the edge of the roof, leaning down against it to look out over the street below. It occurred to her that what was going on was definitely a private matter so she decided to give them a little space. "Don't mind me. You two do your thing," she muttered before happily beginning to hum quietly to herself, watching the city and trying to keep an ear out for any trouble she could swoop in to stop. xxx | @jon Jor | I'm sorry it's kind of short |
