"Be reasonable, Brand." The tall darkhaired good looking man smiled at her charmingly and Brand scowled.
"I don't like charm, Mr. Kent. Your cousin may be Kryptonian and she may have been in a suspension chamber and technically be older than any of us, but she is, for all practical purposes a teenager. And I am NOT giving a teenager SWORD clearance."
"I heard you took a teenage X-men with you to the Breakworld."
"Circumstances beyond my control." Brand shrugged.
"We need her." Clark insisted, abandoning his attempts to appeal to the green-haired woman's nonexistent softer side.
Brand smiled. "No, we don't. Trust us, Mr. Kent. Now, if you still want to be a part of this mission, you'll need to report here tomorrow by 0800 solar time. For most operatives, I would offer to arrange transportation. But in this case, I trust that you can see yourself to The Peak."
"You don't know my cousin, Agent Brand. " Clark stood up and shook his head. "She'll just follow us."
Brand's lips twitched. "That, Mr. Kent, is a circumstance beyond my control. Don't be late."
