I was stuck in the Phantom Zone for twenty-four years. Maybe I'm still out there, or my pod landed somewhere else.

If I am, you'll find me. And either way, I'm here now.

( Back on her Earth, he'd never really needed her. She doesn't know if that's different here and now, and a big part of her wants to find out. )

Eliza used to worry the meat would be radioactive. ( She laughs a little. ) It always worked out. And for you, too, sounds like.

( And there's a lot of it. Which means she feels less guilty about heaping her plate full, just before grabbing herself a fork and spoon. )

I will! Thanks. Come sit with me.
