Testing 1..2..3..
Jo was dashing about Metropolis just keeping an eye out for trouble and not really expecting much of it when something caught her eye in an alley behind a restaurant. A familiar boy about her age was standing around with some older men, but Jo couldn't in that moment place where she had seen him before.

She stopped at the mouth of the alley keeping her eyes on them the whole time trying to figure out what she was looking at.

"Everything alright, here, gentlemen?"

She held back her wince and promised herself she'd come up with better approach lines than that later.

The things a guy had to do these days to make sure better funding got to the Suicide Slum Medical Center without arousing the interferencing of mysterious enemies.

He looked up from the discussion with his associates of how to get the money 'properly' donated.

Supergirl. The new one, not the one from when he was a kid.

...Could she be the one complicating all his charity work, making him do it this roundabout way? Just to get at poor Uncle Lex?

"Everything's fine, Superlady. Just a friendly discussion."

Once she sees her face it takes only a moment for her brain to kick in. Valentin Colby, Lex Luthor's nephew.

Immediately, she starts wondering what nefarious things he could be up to in an alley for his uncle, or himself, but then's she's chiding herself for leaping to conclusions. Besides, alleyways weren't exactly the usual places Luthor made deals. She needed to know more.

"Would you mind if I hung around and made sure of that, Mr. Colby?"

	Val's eyes narrowed. "There's no need to trouble yourself. We were just finishing our discussion, in fact. Wonderful talking to you, gentlemen." There will be general nodding and departing, walking awkwardly past the little Kryptonian. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It's not the first time Jo's wished almost painfully hard that she could hover. No matter how fast or invulnerable she knows she is she always feels ridiculous when the bad guys walk by her and she's half a head or more shorter than them planted on the ground. She pushes that down though and smiles brightly, and resolving to find out what was going on here.

"I hope all of you gentlemen have a nice day."

Val's finally the last one standing there. "Is there anything else you needed?" he asks drily.

...his associates, on the other hand, let their guard down faster. They're only a block or so away when one of them says. "So we just make sure the money gets to the nurses anonymously? Easy job."

Val, of course, doesn't know that any of them are in need of a slap upside the head for their carelessness. He doesn't have superhearing.

Jo's about to tell him 'no, thank you' and send him on his way when she catches the bit of conversation from down the street.

"I've just a question or two if you don't mind answering. The first one being: Why do you need those men to give money anonymously to nurses?"

Surely, as a fledgling business man there were ways for him to do it that consisted of paperwork and tax breaks. The fact that he was doing it in an alley suggested there was something dirty about the money.

	Val raises an eyebrow, as inside thinks about strangling his associates. "I'm afraid I really couldn't guess what you're talking about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo had been afraid of that. She could at least say she'd tried the direct route now before sneaking about. "Oh, of course, Mr. Colby, my mistake. I'll just go satisfy my curiosity elsewhere." She bets she can catch the man that had been talking. (Reply to this)(Parent)
