Lobo is playing with Fire here, of course. He had better not harm or or she'll incinerate his dolphins. And no, that is not a euphemism.

FIRE & ICE WELCOME TO SMALLVILLE #4 (OF 6) CVR A TERRY DODSON
(W) Joanne Starer (A) Natacha Bustos (CA) Terry Dodson
Ice's worst fears about Fire's antics are confirmed when a horrifying revelation comes to light, and whatever trust they'd tentatively rebuilt crumbles to dust. And despite Martha Kent's best attempts to mediate over Smallville's finest drag brunch, there might be no coming back for what was once the Justice League's most dynamic duo. (Booster and Beetle who?) Oh, and Lobo shows up hot and bothered to throw down in Fire's defunct fight club. What could possibly go wrong? Retail: $3.99 In-Store Date: 12/05/2023
