[still baffled that this guy is trusted to protect the universe.]

Oh, what? You gonna tell me you go home to roast chestnuts over the fire with maw and paw? Gimme a break, cub scout.

... what's wrong with that? And my name is Clark.

[Guy]

So... what do you know about Superboy-Prime?

It's kinda bumpkin. And not everybody can do that, you know? You cotton candy, let's go to the circus, I love my mommy type people just piss me off, Clark.

[Clark]

Total a-hole, hates everybody, blows shit up, kills folks, lived in the sun for awhile, killed some folks, destroyed my plan, killed sme more folks, killed some supermen, killed some more, blew up some universes, aaand hopefully died. Why?

That's not exactly how I'd describe myself.

[Guy]

We've got to do something about him here. John and Jamie have a plan, but it's probably not foolproof. It would just be nice to know what we're really going up against, and what we can do if the plan fails.

Take a look in the mirror, pal.

[Clark]

What'd they come up with?

[ignoring that.]

[Guy]

Jamie said Prime was immune to green kryptonite... I don't know if you're familiar, but it's supposed to stop any Kryptonian in their tracks. Obviously regular kryptonite wouldn't work, but we don't know about other kinds of kryptonite.

Blue kryptonite turns Kryptonians human, so the idea is we could turn him human, so he wouldn't be a threat anymore. But if he's immune... I'm worried he'd lose his temper and go on a rampage just because we tried.

Maybe we could get our hands on some pink krytponite, and he could put up some new drapes.

What makes you think any kryptonite will work?

I've never run into pink kryptonite. What does it do?

We can't kill him, and we probably can't out-muscle him, but we have to try something.

Oh, man, you should... you should try that out for yourself.

Maybe we could rally the castle to fight evil? Provided we take out the rest of the evil guys first, I guess.

I've never run into a kryptonite that did me any good. I think I'll pass.

The castle can barely rally to keep the lesser bad guys from committing crimes; I don't know how they'd do it to stop Prime. Prime's the worst of them, as far as I know, and so far, no one's been able to touch him. People are too afraid to even talk to him after he murders people, in case they're next. People who can stand up against Prime have to do something.

Heeeeell yeah! I was beginning to wonder if everyone else'd turned into a big pussy. I asked John why Crybaby Prime was walkin around free as a bird, and he got all "Nuuur, well he's not so bad now nurrrr".

It's not like he's beating up people every day, but he's got a long history of it, and if last week was any indication, he's not planning on stopping. I just don't want him to kill someone else while we're sitting around deciding what to do.

We can do what we always do and fling ourselves at him.

Somehow I don't think flinging ourselves at him will work.

... is that really what you always do?

Well... no. I mean, we did have him in a red sun for awhile. But when he escaped, my big plan was to make a really, really big GL wall. A bunch of Corps members died.

[not sure what either of those things are, but he figures he'll ask John or Shayera later. Not in the mood to get ruthlessly mocked.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

Agreed. Though probably with a little more eloquence.
