My Adventures with Superman

There's no sign of Superman in Park Ridge or Midtown.

Steve, Cat and Ronnie agreed to call

if their contacts see something.

-Anything on Flamebird? - Nothing.

It's like he disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Which is why we're here.

Nobody knows the streets of Metropolis

better than the Newskid Legion.

Big Words brought the walkie talkies.

Gaby made missing posters.

Even Patti is helping.

Flip, it's too dangerous.

-Go home, okay? -I can't.

We can't.

Superman saved me.

Look, I don't know why those people want to hurt him.

And it's weird and scary now.

But when I think of helping Superman,

like he helped me, I don't feel so small.

So, are we doing this or what?

Okay. Give us a walkie.

Yes. We'll find him and everything will be okay.

You'll see.

- -

Hello, Superman.

Where am I?

- -

You're not going to punch your way out of this one, Superman.

Now I need dates and numbers.

What... what dates? I--

When is the invasion?

How many of your kind will come through this time?

This time?

You've... you've met others like me?

When?

After everything you've done to us,

you dare still pretend

that you're the innocent one here?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I've lived on Earth my whole life.

Stop lying!

I was there on Zero Day, and so were you.

All right, listen up.

Seventy-two hours ago, an unidentified flying object

broke through the atmosphere...

-Sam, where are you? -...and touched down here.

This is a Division One classified site, and you're here to secure it.

I'll be home soon. I promise.

-I can't believe you. -Whoa!

Uh, hey Mandy.

Don't "Mandy" me!

You snuck into the command tent to make a call!

What part of "Top Secret mission" did you not get?

I guess, based on my actions, the top secret part?

I'm gonna kill you.

Come on, Waller,

it's been three days of staring at a hole in the ground.

You can't tell me this is what you imagined when we enlisted.

Serving my country without question?

Uh, yes, it is.

Besides, this is important.

So is this mission.

Get your head in the game.

You know, one day I'm not going to be around to pull you out of trouble.

- -

Huh?

Every moment...

I've spent every moment of the past 22 years

seeing this when I close my eyes.

Putting everything aside,

sacrificing everything, in order to prepare Earth for your return.

But I wasn't going to let us be taken by surprise again.

I created Task Force X.

I took the tech you left behind

and turned your weapons into ours.

I made the hard calls.

So that when your people came back to finish

what they started, we would be ready.

And then you showed up, passing yourself off as a hero.

When we both know what you are.

A weapon!

So you're going to tell me everything you know.

Who are you?

And why are you on Earth?

I, I don't know.

I always thought that...

Why... why would they do this?

This is Jimmy. He's not at the docks.

Have you found anything?

Nothing in Bakerline or around the bay.

But we'll keep looking.

Over and out.

- Hey. You okay? -No.

Jimmy, I said awful things to Clark.

I doubted him when he needed us most.

I was wrong and now he's gone and...

And we are going to find him.

Right?

Of course.

No! You can't do this to me!

You promised me Superman!

He took everything from me!

But I am not finished with him!

I don't want to cage him.

-I want him to suffer! - Shut up!

What?

Superman's power level remains suppressed throughout your interrogation.

The parasite collar and Cadmus omega field

are working in conjunction perfectly.

Seems Ivo lives up to his own hype.

Too bad he's going insane.

Still, we can get some more use out of him before he completely loses it.

We've spent so much time guessing

about why Nemesis Omega attacked.

And when it seems like we finally have the answers in our grasp...

What if we're wrong?

Tamp that talk down now.

Task Force X doesn't make mistakes.

If his people age like us,

he's too young to have been part of Zero Day.

-If he's innocent-- -Innocent?

And what were our friends who were slaughtered guilty of?

We, the only survivors haven't made a mistake.

Superman is an invader.

And if he's compromised your commitment...

then it's time to get rid of him.

We need information more than revenge.

The only information we need is how to take his kind down.

Get your head in the game.

If you can't do it, then we turn him over to Ivo.

No!

Are you having doubts because of something real,

or is it because Superman reminds you of her?

Think hard about what you say next.

I am. And if you can't make the right call,

then you're not the man I followed for the last 22 years.

We're keeping Superman alive for questioning.

It's my call, not yours.

Dismissed.

Hmm.

Camera's off.

Hey. You still want to take down Superman?

Rematch time, Superman!

No more constraints. No more collars.

Just you and me, and the beatdown of the century, buddy.

Let's see what the Man of Steel's got!

I don't wanna hurt you.

Hurt me?

The only reason you won last time is because you cheated!

You don't hurt me.

I hurt you!

What...

Wilson! Waller! Code orange!

- -

If you're trying to trick me like last time,

it's not going to work.

I don't need your power.

There's power everywhere!

What do you say now, cheater?

I won't fight you, Ivo.

I don't... I never wanted to fight anyone.

I only wanted to help.

Well, then I guess you're just gonna die.

Ivo!

Stand down. Now.

No! He's mine.

- -

- -

Ahhh!

Open fire on my command.

Yeah, I don't think so.
