Mostly I just want to forget it happened.

[ is that so wrong ]

[passingthrough]

[Nah. Except he might just kiss her again? But maybe he won't! It's Schrödinger's kiss!]

Here's to that? [Lifting her drink in a toast before looking thoughtful.]

Someone from my home showed up too. My actual home. Not just someone who looks like someone from home and has the same name and powers.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ toasting ]

Oh! Good someone?

[passingthrough]

Good someone. [Affirming.] His name is Kurt. He'll be the blue one with the tail and the red mark over his eye. There are two Kurts so the red mark is kind of key. He's a teammate.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh! I think I met the other one. That's great though, I'm glad to hear it. Have you had time to catch up?

[passingthrough]

The other one is sweet. [Sweet is not a word she'd use to describe hers, but he can be under the right circumstances.] Some. He's also from years into the future so there's a lot.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh. Any good news?

[passingthrough]

You are just made of optimism, aren't you?

It's good news that we get to see each other again. I don't need more.

[takingkarabusiness]

I have some sugar and spice, too.

And that sounds like more than enough. I'm really glad for you.

[passingthrough]

[That gets a smile.]

Thanks I'm glad for you too assuming the awkward bits work out.

[takingkarabusiness]

I really think they will. Thanks.

So where do you think we're headed next?

[passingthrough]

[She hopes so.] I've only been one place with the fleet so far. Makes it kind of hard to see a pattern and guess. I heard sometimes we go to different planets though. Or maybe it will be Disney World.

[takingkarabusiness]

I've always been more of a Disneyland girl myself, living in California. I'm just hoping for someplace with a yellow star.

[passingthrough]

I was more into Six Flags really. [Wow, those are some old memories.] Or museums or the ballet. I was kind of a nerd.

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, like Disneyland isn't a nerdy place. It's kind of the main beacon for us.

[ you're like the worst marvel character omg. eschewing the overlord for the competition ]

[passingthrough]

Does that make you queen nerd? [They should have put one by Chicago if they wanted her loyalty.]

[takingkarabusiness]

At least 'supernerd".

[passingthrough]

I guess that would go better with your brand.

[takingkarabusiness]

At least there's that.

What else did you like back home?

[passingthrough]

Computers. Any tech really. I used to take things apart and put them back together, sometimes in new and exciting ways.

What about you? On your planet?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I kind of work two jobs and freelance on the side. But one of the jobs is working with my sister, and we like to spend time together. Mostly eating ice cream and delivery pizza while yelling at the TV.

[passingthrough]

I very much approve of the ice cream and pizza. [Not that they are hard sells for anyone.] But I mean, back when you were Kara Zor-El. That planet.

[takingkarabusiness]

Krypton.

And—I don't know. It was a long time ago.

[passingthrough]

You can't remember? [Or don't want to?]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ mostly the latter, but the show does a shit job of helping me out here ]

I remember parks. Before... everything got so bad.
