1. Reed sits in the office of his psychiatrist. His body language shows he's not quite impressed. He just does not know what to do.
Reed: How do you expect me to be honest in this situation?
2. Carly, Reed's young psychiatrist, sits opposite Reed. She looks back with a straight face. She's not giving anything away.
Carly: Easily.

Caption-Reed: I fell in love with her on Saturday. After a long lunch.
6. Reed is walking back to the lunch table in a restaurant, we see the empty and dirty dishes on the table. This panel takes up the size of one in the grid, the next panel takes up the size of two.

7. We see what Reed sees, Asia has turned her back on the table and is facing the balcony rails. Her feet are out of her shoes, the shoes under her seat, and her feet on the rails. She is holding a cocktail in her hands and over the rolling hills beyond her the sun sets gorgeously. This is a perfect moment for Asia and she doesn't even know it.

1. Reed is back in the office. He smiles as he looks to the side, his left, he's remembering.
Reed: It wasn't until the summer I found out who she really was.
2. Reed is in the middle of the city square. He looks up at Supreme battling an orb with massive chain-like tentacles flowing from it. She looks powerful.
Caption-Reed: I'm not an idiot. I saw her in there instantly.
Caption-Reed: I'm sure plenty of guys would've been pissed about being lied to.
3. Reed and Asia are under the covers, half her costume is on the floor, her booted leg sticks out of the covers.
Caption-Reed: I didn't care at all.
4. Reed sits in bed, afterwards, and Asia/Supreme walks sexily off to the kitchen.
Caption-Reed: I'll admit openly that I liked it.
Caption-Reed: A lot.
Caption-Asia: You are such a creep. You really need to give all those details?

1. Supreme blasts some serious firepower into a flock of very weird looking winged beasts coming out of a school.

Reed: …
Reed: Wow, you're gonna go for the kill every time, aren't you?

1. Reed kicks back in his chair.
Reed: Does anyone ever ask Jimmy Olsen if he feels like half a man because he's Superman's pal? I bet not. And what's there for me to complain about?
Reed: In this scenario, Jimmy's getting to fuck Superman.
2. Carly is scribbling furiously while trying to make it look casual.
Reed: Wait…
Carly: No, I heard you.
Caption-Asia: Me too, ha.
3. Carly has crossed her legs, is looking back up at Reed.
Carly: Was it a power thing, being with her?
4. Reed has stood up from his chair, he's looking away from Carly.
Reed: It was a love thing, being with her. Then.
3. Reed has walked away from the table, he's looking at the bookshelves.
Reed: Fuck the back story, maybe we should just talk about the day Asia died.
