He chuckled. She was sure of herself which, admittedly, he respected. Reminded him of all the women he'd surrounded himself with over the years. "I'm sure," he replied, though not patronizingly, and he studied her as she came at him. So, clearly she could fly. The source of her powers were energy-based somehow. Probably no different than his own, to be honest. Bodies storing energy from some sort of cosmic force -- or external force -- and expelling it in different ways. Stil, he wasn't entirely sure the full extent of her powers.
Though, to be fair, neither was she aware of all of his. So, he let her come, made as if to ready for a direct hit and--with super speed--dodged out of her way letting zip past him, missing her shot. He wore a bit of a grin. "I thought you said you were going to try a little harder?" Normally, he wouldn't tease. But considering Carol was a bit of a shit talker, he figured he'd play her game and make it fun for her. Clark was a lot of things, and he was certainly a people pleasure if he could be.
