[ If anyone would notice when all the birds stop singing, it's Kal. Not just because he's used to catching little details like this, has far too many years of noticing the unnatural to miss it, but because he can tell that it's all of the birds instead of a patch here or there. And that's what has him heading for his locker, pulling out the black and white costume that he'd been handed back on his first day back in town.
It has him listening further, catching the additional heartbeats with something very much like a chill before he walks out of the firehouse dressed in what some people might think of as ridiculous pajamas. But then the scream sounds-
And when the first blood hits the air, he smells it. Smells it with a heart cluched and his fists clenched as he makes a decision and pushes himself up into the sky. He's not sure this is a job for Superman, but it sure as hell isn't something he's about to sit back and watch.]
around town
[ Where is Kal?
Wherever he's needed.
At first, he'd used his heat-vision extensively, since it seemed like the creatures were very averse to the heat and the burning, more so than the physical beat-down he might dish out. He still packed enough of a wallup to send them fleeing with their tails between their legs, but the fire in his eyes was something else.
...then he'd taken a look at the DNA of one of the fallen and almost been sick.
Now, though, he's responding to any call for help, any scream of pain or anguish or fear he can catch in the cacophony. The creatures noises are an interference that he's a little too rusty to work around easily but it's not too hard to find people who need the assistance when he heads to the air. Less with the heatvision, now that he's seen that they were at least once human, that there's a kind of semi-sentience to them. But he doesn't pull his punches much; these things are vicious and if it's between the peaceful people of this town and the monsters trying to feed on them, there's just no competition.
So if you see a perhaps-familiar gentleman with a potentially familiar symbol on his chest flying through the air and punching creatures hard enough to literally put them through buildings, well... he'll deal with the consequences of that later. For now, he's working on saving everyone he can. ]
