‘yes !! all my colleagues would be so jealous if i showed up to work with superman ! they’d be all like “woah, it’s superman !” and that doofus mauga would be like “oh no it’s superman, i gotta get outta here.” it would be great.’
🦸🏻
( He's... thinking for a moment with a low hum )
Perhaps I should stop by? Usually knowing superman could be there stops...some criminals from repeat offenses... emphasis on some
‘ohhhhhhh… that’s simple ! they’re just evil people. i’m pretty sure our job is so dangerous we get danger pay now. it’s almost guaranteed we’ll see them every time !’
‘hmmm… maybe… they’re using them for evil cult rituals !’
🦸🏻oh! No no no I didn't mean it like that! I meant so important they're willing to injure people for...
I mean it must have something other than monetary value
‘all relics are important ! it doesn’t matter if they’re 100 or 2000 years old ! all they care about is the price they sell for. a lot of my time is spent fighting them off now that i think about it.’
{ they let out a small huff at the revelation. }
🦸🏻 ( He's biting his tongue....they don't need to lecture them.... they've already heard him basically lecturing them. )
I...what kind of Relics would be so important to others? The only time people have been interested in ruins and relics in Metropolis is if they're Kryptonian
‘i’ve only been hit in like. the shoulder. and then some guy stabbed me one time but i kinda just went back to work !’
‘it is ! it’s most likely due to the relics and artifacts we find ! talon always want to get their hands on them.’
‘psh ! bullet wounds can’t stop me ! i have a few cool scars, but it’s mainly from people trying to attack our dig sites. i work for the wayfinders, and these doofuses keep attacking us !’
🦸🏻( Give him a second with all the hate campaign against him lately he's...kinda forgotten how nice it feels to hear that he's an inspiration. )
That is...very very sweet thank you... though do try to keep safe. Fighting crime is... Dangerous if you're not bulletproof
‘i mean ! of course. you’re you ! you’re like an inspiration to me and stuff ! you’re a small part of why i do what i do ! small because, admittedly, fighting bad guys isn’t my main job, but still !’
🦸🏻
Let me see if I can find you an image
( Couple minutes of scrolling on his phone aaand viola a press picture of Lex! Jimmy is...also there but he's not the conversation right now )
🦸🏻
He has an understandable fear... though he...he goes about it in a...very wrong way
( He's trying SO hard to be positive... because he tries to believe there's good in everyone.. somewhere )
