“Oh, likewise.” Superman responded in kind to the tall angel. “Whiskey, right? I heard you from a sh—” Superman turned to Gogeta mentioning Clark Kent, preventing him from finishing his sentence. Someone has the same name as him and is also an reporter? Raising a eyebrow in confusion, he rubbed his chin. “Huh? But that’s… my name? Is someone out here impersonating me?" He questioned. "How long has it been since I got ambushed?"
 
"Ah... um... just miss is fine." Bernkastel didn't seem to want to utter her own name aloud just yet. For the moment she wanted to observe this person that knew Vegetto from the trials, who caught them by surprise. "Y-yes, the Coin Hunter won't be of a bother to anyone anytime soon..." She trailed off having realized Whis's disguise shared the same name as this man whose alias was Superman. The hair was similar, but this man speaks quite strangely and is running around in colored undergarments.

"The Clark we met earlier today wore glasses and a nice suit, sir. We don't really read newspapers." In fact, Bern seemed to become more confused that he bore similar resemblance to Ultraman than a guy who wore glasses. "But then again, there are multiple versions of the same Saiyan running around, so maybe... oh? Your eyes... they're very... different, to the ones we're used to seeing." Superman's eye color was not shared by Whis's disguise or Ultraman, she noted.
 
Cross says "They are not needed either but thanks to that walking war Crime (Detective Goku) you have a point Lucifer." 

Cross says as a matter of fact "there are exceptions to every rule."
 
Whis bowed his head slightly.

“Whis, actually. It’s quite alright; some people forget to take off the last few letters when speaking my name.”

Gogeta kept a small frown, and despite Bernkastel’s discretion in avoiding Whis’ alternate identity, the fusion blurted out his opinion without tact and strategy.

“That’s your name too? But I thought that was Whis’ name when he helped us fight Ultraman?”

Yet despite the revelation, Whis stared back at Gogeta and Bernkastel in genuine confusion, frowning slightly.

“Me? I don’t recall ever using that name before, or helping you with this Ultraman.”
 
Superman looked at Whis after Gogeta stated, or at least he thought, that he was the one who held the name of Clark Kent. However, Whis denied bearing such name, nor have anything to do with Ultraman. “Oh brother…” Superman said—he didn’t know any context regarding Ultraman or what he have done, but apparently something happened since they kept mentioning him. “Well, my eyes are a bit unique in a sense. I’m a composite of all my incarnations, well, except for Ultraman that is, as you encountered. So I doubt you encounter another me out here aside from him…”

“Are you absolutely sure you heard that name?” Superman asked the small Cat. He looked around, checking all the remaining people that are still in the room, including Lucifer, Cross and Bara. Yet, he doesn’t recognize any of them, except for Cross. “….Breakers?” He looks at Gogeta, staring his facial features and all, but nothing quite click in his head—he cannot seem to get any glimpse of the identity of these people in front of him.

Lucifer raised a brow. “What, did a stranger help you against Ultraman? I thought you were well hated by that point. Who wanted to help you out?”

Superman shook his head. “Apparently someone is taking my name. I bet one of those RNN guys thought it’ll be a funny joke or something. But I guess I can’t get upset since they did help you out against my buddy. Though I’m surprise he’s back to his old ways… would’ve thought he changed by that point, get  a nice lady and be a hero he aspire to be.”
 
Cross says "Lucifer its to the uninform mass that we are hated by. Its true the inform are rare especial because of the tendency to go to subspace and its to early for most them to show up if at all. "
 
It was at that moment that Brachi came back into the room, and blinked as she noticed Superman. Upon spotting the torn pocket of Majin Bara's pants, she deducted it must have been a coin she had with her.

"Well then..." She said.
 
"So there's only one of you?" Bernkastel placed a paw under her muzzle, finding the idea he presented to her very strange, yet not entirely unlike the existence of Alter Beings. Could it be there are more people out there like Superman and Hart? "But Ultraman remains separate from you who is a composite... this is quite confusing indeed."

Hearing Whis express confusion at Gogeta's statement, Bern herself became momentarily confused... no, she was sure it was Whis. The person they saw on the street had very similar mannerisms to Whis in both posture and pattern of speech. But if it wasn't Whis, who else could it have been?! No outsider knows intimate details like 'Kent' did. At least, she was sure nobody would consider them to be surface-level details. If this his way of keeping it secret, he's very convincing at making even me question what I saw! Aah, I don't even have any real proof to definitively know it was Whis! It's the devil's proof! She thought with mild distress, her nose twitching the more she reviewed her memories. Who else did she know that knew the Breakers this well before this new world was created? Who else was capable of performing such a disguise?

"I have quite good hearing... could it be I misheard? Hmm... strange. As for Ultraman," Bernkastel used her brief discomfort to shift the subject. "I can say he's certainly changed into an impressively strong person. Whether he chooses to call himself a hero in the future or not is his own choice... but I believe he won't be held back by things like prestige and image anymore." Even though she technically lost to Ultraman in battle, she was satisfied at having been able to see the fruits of pushing him that far with Gogeta, though it could be construed as a rather extreme method; the both of them walked away changed people. "Yes... I think he is free now. I do wish he had better taste in women though. As for you, what shall you do now that you're free from your slumber, Mr. Superman?"
 
Gogeta frowned at Whis' denial, but in the ensuing conversation, he turned his attention back to Ultraman. He furrowed his brow a bit, looking Superman up and down in an attempt to analyze him better, but the fusion rubbed his chin with a small frown.

"Huh, even if you go do something else, is it gonna be as good as Ultraman? Your name makes you sound like you're a weaker version of him...but you guys don't look anything alike. Are you guys rivals or something? Cause I was his rival first!"

Whis' head whipped back slightly, his own disgruntled look of confusion clearly shaking the taller angel in a way that was normally uncharacteristic of him. He paused, his eyes darting back and forth between Gogeta and Superman for a brief moment, his tone clearly aggitated.

"What are you talking about? He and Ultraman look exactly alike; just like you and Vegetto."

Gogeta shrugged his shoulders slightly, glancing down at Bernkastel with a plain stare.

"I don't see it. Do you Burn?"
 
Superman lowered his head after hearing that Ultraman actually did changed his ways. Should shoulders bounce once as he smiled upon the news. Uplifting his spirits hearing that he managed to change his way—although he did shown concern of his taste of women, he’d hope that it wasn’t anything worse than Superwoman. “Well… my situation was deliberate case from Doctor Doom. The others might be a different case since Ultraman was a deliberate choice to be excluded. But never mind that, all that matters that Ultraman is free. That’s soothe my soul like Uncle’s soul foods at a BBQ.”

“Rivals? Nothing of the sort, I guess you can say that. He’s always been chasing my tail for a long time… but after I retired from hero work for a while, Ultraman lost his way and meaning. But it seems he finally found himself.” Superman said. “If you are his first real rival, do make sure you give him some experience! He’s never attempt to actually “practice” his strength since he usually kills this enemies before they get strong to challenge him that pushed him.” 
 
Though when Whis brought up that Gogeta and Vegetto look alike, the Kryptonian paused for a second at Gogeta. Superman stared at him intensely, curiosity trying to see the resemblance. “I don’t see it.” Superman said. “Maybe it’s the bangs? Nah... not even close. Nothing alike at all.”

He’d placed his finger on his chin, thinking about the question Bernkastel asked him about what he will do next. “I have an idea where to go. There are a few things I need to take care of first in Reflection City, then I'll find my friend.” Superman said. “I do thank you for defeating that Rainbow Warrior, and other people. I’ll be in your debt, and one day, I’ll repay that favor in the future, so hopefully, we cross paths in the future."
