Back in Rome, Dr. Fate and the rest were all on edge as they watched Clarks fight against Mars. But the most concerned for Clark's well-being was that of his own family, Lois and Jon, who find themselves practically glued to the mystic screen. At one point, when the screen showed Clark receiving a hard rising elbow strike to his chin by the attacking Mars, causing Jon and his mother to jump back a little. "No!" Jon exclaimed, then stepped forward to the screen. "Come on Dad, you can take him!"
Lois squeezed her son's shoulders. She knew Clark had faced more threats than she could count and always came out on top. "Come on Smallville, this should be child's play for you."
The Cyborg Vic Stone also watched the fight, looking just as worried as everyone else, and let out a sigh as a way to try and calm himself. "Well, at least Supes can keep up with that godly chump."
Bruce and Diana, two seasoned fighters in their own right, were also watching the fight, and upon hearing Vic's words, a concerned Bruce decided to make his opinion known. "That might be what Mars wants Kent to think, Stone."
Naturally, Diana rolled her eyes and groaned in aggravation to Bruce's observation, especially in front of Clark's family. "Ever the pessimist."
"Ever the realist," Bruce retorted, still keeping his eyes on the mystic screen and watching closely as Mars and Clark continued to trade punches. "Clark's good, no question about that, but this Mars has been alive allot longer than any of us, meaning that he must have centuries worth of experience. So, for all we know, Mars might be letting Kent 'think' that their evenly matched and is waiting for a chance for him to get cocky and take advantage!" As Bruce said that, he soon gained shocked expressions from everyone in the room. "I don't down know if Kent has a plan, but he does, he better act on it and damn quick!"
