"[expletive]!" cried Mint, rubbing her ankle. "Some jaw you got, Mr., uh, S."
"It's Superman," responded Superman. "You're new to this world, aren't you? I showed up here just a minute ago."
Mint shrugged. "New to this city, maybe. World, can't say for sure."
"I've been having a look around," said Superman. "We don't seem to be in any of the fifty-two main Earths, so I'd say we're occupying some sort of extradimensional... you know. A realm. Will you excuse me for a bit?"
Mint rolled her eyes. "Take all the time you need."
"Thank you." Superman took off into the sky for three seconds before returning. "Sorry. Wherever we are, it's busy. These people have got enough on their plate without newcomers like you making trouble."
"[Expletive], I beat up one mugger and make a few completely innocent cracks about world conquest and now I'm the villain."
"If you want my advice--"
"I don't."
"If you end up wanting my advice later: I'm going to try and get to the bottom of why we're here. Taking over the world from scratch takes years. I'm willing to bet that by the time you so much as take control of one of the local gangs, this whole thing will be sorted out and we'll be headed back home, so you should spend your time here doing something that'll last. Help some people, make some friends, take some photos. Could be fun. Anyway, I've got work to do. Need me to drop you off anywhere?"
"I'll walk," spat Mint.
"Suit yourself. It's a beautiful day in, uh, in Steelport." Superman winked and was gone in half the time it takes a cape to satisfactorily rustle.
"It's Superman," responded Superman. "You're new to this world, aren't you? I showed up here just a minute ago."
