With a cheerful grin, Dinah says, "I guess my life isn't exactly normal."

[presspasskey]

"No kidding. So, Mars, space police, ninja monkeys, and guys in tights."

She tilts her head. "Okay, so you said there was another alien. Is he one of the green kind?"

[raptorcanaria]

"No," Dinah says firmly. "He's the tall, dark and looks breathtakingly good in spandex type."

Dinah's cheerful in admitting Clark has a body and look to die for. Because he's not an asshole and therefore she has absolutely no sexual tension with him.

[presspasskey]

Lois blinks.

And then blinks again.

"He's an alien?" She sounds utterly confused. "He looks human?" Or so she assumes, from the gushing.

[raptorcanaria]

"He's an alien who looks human," Dinah confirms. "Without the need for shapeshifting. It's convenient."

[presspasskey]

"I'll say. Must be easier to get people to not care so much about the whole alien thing when you're the drop-dead-gorgeous type."

Pause.

"It's bad that I'm still finding the spandex the most unbelievable thing here."

[raptorcanaria]

"Maybe?" Dinah says. "I don't know, I grew up with it, so my perspective is all skewed."

[presspasskey]

"Sure," Lois allows, "but if you haven't seen a guy who can pull of tights..."

She shrugs. "My cousin keeps writing to me about this freaky town she lives in, and people turning up with crazy powers. Creepy space rock, random bars where bedrooms should be... eh. Aliens in tights is only ten times stranger. I'll believe it if I see it, I guess."

[raptorcanaria]

"Yeah?" Dinah asks, interested now. "What town?"

[presspasskey]

"Smallville." Lois rolls her eyes. "I swear to god, only Kansas would think of a name like that. I cannot believe Chlo ha-- di-- ...hasn't gone nuts there."

[raptorcanaria]

Dinah has enough self control in these things not to look anything but mildly interested.

As she tries not to laugh.

"And this creepy space rock showed up there?"

[presspasskey]

"Yeah. Apparently. I haven't seen any yet--though there's been enough corn to last me a few centuries."

Lois sounds so incredibly grumpy.

[raptorcanaria]

"Well, that's Kansas?" Dinah offers. "I'm based in Gotham myself so I don't know."

[presspasskey]

Lois stares.

"Wait. Last I heard there were different universes here. You are not telling me there are aliens in my universe."

No. Really. She hadn't been taking any of this seriously.

[raptorcanaria]

"...no?" Dinah hazards. "Unless corn means aliens? Which I don't think it does?"

[presspasskey]

"Well, unless there's a Gotham everywhere, but I hadn't heard about one yet."

Assuming Lois has asked a few people.

[raptorcanaria]

"It's not in every universe," Dinah admits. "But I know it's not a single universe only deal."

That would be ridiculous.

[presspasskey]

"It'd better not be," Lois mutters. "Corn and crazy people is about my limit, I think."

[raptorcanaria]

Dinah grins. "Hey, don't knock aliens. Those are some of my best friends, remember?"

[presspasskey]

"So long as you're the one dealing with them, I'm not knocking them." She scowls. "Just like I said, corn and crazy people."

[raptorcanaria]

"Now, by crazy people," Dinah starts, "I take it we're not talking Arkham crazy?"

[presspasskey]

Shuddering, "Thank god, no. I've heard stories."

Then she grins, just a little. "No, actually. Mostly it's been megalomaniacal tycoons and amnesiac naked boys. Well, and his cool mom, but she's not crazy."

[raptorcanaria]

"Megalomaniacal tycoons are a fact of life in all universes," Dinah offers. "As inevitable as billionaire playboys."

[presspasskey]

"Those are a little out of my experience, and probably will be," Lois says with unknowing cosmic irony. "Though I've heard the younger Luthor's had a past with women, but that's probably tabloid crap."

[raptorcanaria]

"Lex Luthor?"

Just to establish that they're talking about the same one.
