Another take

It was all very confusing. Tony got back from his tour through the ages to find the rest of his Familia embroiled in something sinister with one of Superman's girlfriends..

Much time was spent rehashing What-Went-Before to try and bring some of us up to speed on the whole matter. We skirted the issues and came up with several perfectly plausible (and mutually exclusive explanations) scenerios. In the end we talked to Lana trying to clarify matters and bumbled our way into frustrating her by our lack of action into exposing herself and revealing her whole plot.

Along the way we did do some investigation: talked to the spirit of a statue in Central Park who (sorta) witnessed a couple's arrival (he'd like a nice wishing well built), examined Lana's life history to see that there was something weird there (she did used to work for Perry with Lois and Clark), and did a history scan at Ground Zero to see where the Kryptonite came from (Lana placed it there months after the fact, just about when Evolution started having weirdness).

The Darius Sousa never appeared at all, but the conclusion we came to was that the Excrucians won in Lana's Realm..and Darius brought her along to use as a tool/anchor here. He convinced her that our Realm's Comicbook Superhero's were the reason her Realm's real Superhero's were undermined and her realm destroyed.

At the convention, we told Willy Wanka? about the whole thing so he can pursue the matter more if he chooses.

What might be confusing Bill about the recap is that both recaps conflate three encounters with Lana into what appears to be a single conversation. First, Timothy involved her in a minor accident so Tony could, in helping her from her cab, use The Knowing on her. That was the first Lana encounter. After they talked to the statue in Central Park, she walked into a bar where they were conferring. (They spent a lot of time in bars to make it as easy as possible for Tom Bender to join them or at least find out what they were doing.) After they rechecked Ground Zero, she walked into the bar on them again, and that's where they drew her out.

The fact that, in the end, she gave up so much so relatively easily inclines me against thinking that she herself was an Excrucian.
