Consequences with [livejournal.com profile] kneel_majorzod & <lj site="livejournal.com" use

It's not unusual for Tess to be entertaining a guest. It's really not unusual for that guest to be Zod. What isn't the norm is that he's not the only person she's expecting.

It's time, they've decided, to put their plan into action, to attempt to rid themselves of one of the nuisances in their lives. Darkseid has been summoned to the mansion on the pretext of potentially another adventure or evening of games. Security has been told to notify Tess when he arrives and everything else is in place for what's really going to take place. Or so she - and Zod - hope.

So until he does make his presence known, they'll just have to wait. One way or another, it's going to be an interesting evening.

"A serum." He looks away briefly and takes a sip of his water as he digests that piece of information.

"Are you hurt?" he asks after a moment, giving her a quick glance over.

He's not entirely sure how to describe how he feels, actually, other than alive. But there is something else there. A certain feeling of...invincibility.

For now, though, he'll just leave it at, "As if it never happened."

Zod lifts an eyebrow and regards her curiously. "What sort of serum has the power to bring back the dead?"

He studies her for a moment before nodding. "Yes. I'll let you know. But you must understand why specifics would be important to me. You just brought me back to life, Tess. I want to know how."

His expression darkens slightly at that, and he stares down at nothing in particular. "If not on our own, then with whom? Our allies are few."

He regards her grimly and, after a moment, lets out a soft sigh. "Even after all of this, we still don't know what we're up against, either. We discovered another ability, yes, but there very well could be more. He overpowered us with ease, and we still don't know his limitations."

"'Apocalypse'?" he asks seriously, raising his eyebrows and standing with her. "What makes you say the word is tied to him?"

He frowns a bit at that. "I'll look into it," he tells her distractedly after a short pause, stepping forward to set what remains of his glass of water aside.

Then he turns and studies her for a long moment before speaking again softly. "Thank you."

Zod nods as well, though still a bit distractedly. He feels...different. It's a feeling he remembers quite well, actually, though he's only felt it once before. But he decides it's best not to mention it. At least, not until he's had a chance to see for himself. Which he is in a bit of a hurry to go and do.

"Of course," he replies quickly, clearing his throat and giving her another glance over. "Be safe, Tess. Call if you need us. And we can finish that talk whenever you'd like."
