I do, yes. Now you too.

( it's complicated stuff, and comes down to a lot more than biological differences. how much Jon takes after Clark is something she doesn't inherently know, but she can see more of herself than she expected to in how he acts too. which is weird. everything is weird. weird, but not bad, even a little. )

[solarson]

I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with Lex Luthor here.

( because he knows that name has always been one heavily entwined in his both his father and his mother's lives. )

[thisisontherecord]

Surprisingly, no.

( She laughs a little, because she knows that sounds like a blatant contradiction when she and Clark had both been insistent that Jon not go after Luthor alone. It's still true. )

Am I worried about what would happen if Lex Luthor got his hands on kryptonite and came after both of you this time, not just your dad? Sure. But we can know that's coming, or at least possible. It's scary because I don't want to see either of you hurt, but it's not the biggest or only reason I worry. Jon, if Luthor left tomorrow, I'd still worry about you.

[solarson]

( geez, mom. )

Well, I'll be ok. So don't get so worried you can't sleep or anything, ok?

[thisisontherecord]

Hah. I'll see that I manage that much.

[solarson]

So you want me to check this farm out?

[thisisontherecord]

If it sounds like something you'd have fun helping out with, yeah. It doesn't sound like something Accelerator knows as much about beyond it being a place that puts kids first.

[solarson]

Well I do know a thing or two about farm life.

( heh. of course he does. look who his dad is. )

[thisisontherecord]

Might make you the most qualified kid in all Etraya to lend a helping hand.

( sounding a little amused. she doubts clark's parents weren't involved in their collective lives, which means kansas and the farm and... whatever living setup they all have. like she even knows. )

[solarson]

Heh. I guess I would be. Robin sure doesn't know much about how to care for farm animals.

[thisisontherecord]

We all have different skills. He can take on... well, what would you recommend he take on instead of animal husbandry?

[solarson]

( he chuckles a little at that. )

You mean at the farm or in general?

[thisisontherecord]

( an unseen shrug, though he might guess at it existing. )

Either or. The farm's on topic, but if he's not much of a farm hand...

[solarson]

I mean, I could always teach him.

( heh. that'd be fun. )

[thisisontherecord]

Hah. Please, do. Invite me when you're trying, I can... theoretically do something adult useful per Accelerator's parameters.

( She's been on his grandparent's farm exactly once, and it was to bring his heavily sickened father there, so who. Knows. What one does on farms in reality versus general conception? )

[solarson]

You know, we actually have a farm back home. Well... we moved to the city recently, but. I liked the farm.

[thisisontherecord]

Huh. Out in Kansas?

[solarson]

Yeah, in Smallville. I liked it there.

[thisisontherecord]

Yeah, it sure seemed like a nice little community.

( Based 100% on everything she saw on Clark's walls. School age stuff, but that's... what would be relevant to a kid his age. )

[solarson]

It is. It'll always be home to me.

[thisisontherecord]

Probably the same for your dad too. Let me know how the farm thing goes, all right?

[solarson]

Yeah. I'll at least check it out and see what's up with it.

( gives him something to do if anything. )

[thisisontherecord]

Jonathan Kent to the rescue.

( That time she definitely sounds amused. )

[solarson]

No, mom. It's Superboy.

( gosh! )

[thisisontherecord]

Fine, fine, Superboy to the rescue. Just try to find a reason to be in civvies when you get down to the real cleaning? Unless we're asking for a second super-suit for you.
