[ Waking up in the hospital is... well, it's disorienting. Strange in a way that he can't quite put his finger on. And there's a certain kind of horror, a special sort of terror that comes with looking at the wires and tubes coming off of him that makes it an act of will not to pull them all out. It's no wonder that the first memory to come back to him is Lois, her last few moments in his arms, and that kills both the fight and the flight instincts the whole thing had on him initially. He's up quickly, though, and while he's been told that he should wait for an attendant to get out of bed, well... he's fine. Really. He can make it just as well to the bathroom himself-
And break the handle off.
Which leads to a few very awkward days of discovery for him, really. Oh, the doorknob is not the last thing to get crushed in his hand though thankfully it's probably the most important. At least they all get a laugh when the apple becomes applesauce all over his face. But then there's the floating, his senses going just... haywire. The first time he sees through one of the nurses is a trip.
Thankfully, the heat vision doesn't come up until after he's out of the hospital, settling into his new house and well... apparently he's the exception to the rule when it comes to watched pots and boiling. A very surprised exception.
...also he has to go to the store to get more eggs now. Thankfully, no one has to know why he's there. And it'll give him a chance to enjoy a nice walk down main street. ]
option two: into the woods
[ He almost goes like a shot. But after seeing the fear in a few people's eyes, Kal's been making a point to be more careful at showing off the strange things that he can do. It's part of why he's not even sure if anyone heard anything, at least until he actually sees the guilt and shame in their eyes. It makes his lips press tight before he starts running, the question of what's going on behind him almost as curious as what he might find in front of him. Once he hits the treeline, he starts putting his senses to work, though it's rough going given the wildlife and the rest of the forest's natural sounds. He's been working on it, though, and now that he's out of sight, he feels better about flying around a little faster, not that he's finding anything so far... ]
option three: pta bakesale
[ There is NOTHING like the smell of fresh baked goods and there is especially nothing like the smell of good apple pie. Kal feels the itch to do some baking of his own sometime this week, but for the moment, he's going to take his time and browse around the little sale to pick out a few things to take home with him. After all, it's a great cause. And it's giving him a chance to get to meet and greet with some of the folks around town.
Besides, it's a beautiful day.]
option four: network
Nothing too complicated: I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a recipe exchange. I promise I've got a few great ones to make it worth your while.
