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.

[passingthrough]

[Bad show!]

Parks are nice. Very different than Earth's?

[takingkarabusiness]

Different plants, different colors—things look different with a red sky.

[passingthrough]

Must really change the fashion around. [She smiles softly.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, maybe. Our style was much more streamlined then a lot of Earth fashions.

[passingthrough]

[Seems like you remember things, Kara.] More naked time? [Teasing, but also not judging if that's really it.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh. No. No, more jumpsuits, actually.

[passingthrough]

Like here?

[takingkarabusiness]

Way cuter. More form-fitting.

[passingthrough]

Maybe Winn can improve those too.

[takingkarabusiness]

It'd give him something to work on. That's not a bad idea.

He really needs to find a project.

[passingthrough]

Is he still pretty nervous? He got flustered pretty easily when we talked, but he had his moments.

[takingkarabusiness]

Some of that's just him, but dialed up to 11. I guess we get along so well because we're both tremendously awkward.

[passingthrough]

It's a solid bonding point. [Kitty's awkward is different, but there's still some awkward at times.]
