"I feel like it was hardly necessary, with you handling things" Superman said. He always liked the way Captain Marvel called him "sir". Not that Clark felt he somehow deserved it, but because the title said much more about Marvel than it did about Superman. Of all his abilities, its the Humility of Billy Batson that truly sets him apart Clark thought. "I wanted to thank you for stepping up like you did, while I was gone" Superman said.
Prior to his 3 month pilgrimage to the ruins of Krypton, Superman had spoken to a select few who he trusted to look after various responsibilities. He had spoken to Billy last- and his had been the most important role. "In the event of some Crisis, I have absolute faith that Diana and Batman, and the rest of the community will mobilize without me. But occasionally there are threat of a type that make teams and strategies irrelevant. Like Doomsday, for instance. At a time like that, its going to fall on one man to face down that kind of threat. While I'm gone, that responsibility will fall to you alone. Clark had never doubted for a second that Marvel would be able to rise to any threat, in the same way Superman had risen to so many.
"Its nice to see someone remembering their priorities" he said, his mind returning to his recent troubles with Batman and the League.
