[ In her video transmission, Kara has her blonde hair up in a messy topknot, wearing standard-issue clothes. She pushes her glasses up the bridge of her nose and looks a little sheepish ]

Um. Hi! Sorry to send this to everyone... Well, I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone but then another thing came up and...

Does anyone know how to reattach a door to a washing machine? I had a little mishap... and I still have a lot of laundry to get done. Anyway, it'd be awful if I didn't at least ask how to put it back the way it was.

The second thing is completely unrelated. Does anyone else feel really weird about wanting friends or family to show up? I don't think I'd wish this experience on anyone against their will, but as long as we're going to be here... it'd be nice to have familiar faces, don't you think? How do you deal with the conflict?

And is there any way to request they bring crullers with them?

_{[ A pity, but come on, you can't be all powerful Kara. Greedy. He nods
his thanks and sets to work, biting the tip of his tongue and sets the door
to rights. ]}

I'm a pretty good assistant, all things considered. So if you're working on something else in the future, let me know.

Heh, I'll keep that in mind.

_{[ He paused and glanced back at her briefly. ]}

What is it you wanted to do back home, Kara? You know - career wise, life wise.

Hitting the heavy questions, huh?

[ she shrugs ]

Help people, mostly.

All right, but how? I mean - did you want to be a teacher, a fire fighter, the one person who keeps your boss from going insane?

_{[ You won't get away with being vague this time Kara. ]}

The one person who keeps my boss from going insane. And maybe influence her so she'll make positive decisions in her publications.

[ well, the dam's already broken ]

I also put on a special outfit and cape and fly around the city looking for people to help.

_{[ He recalls one of their first conversations. ]}

Let me guess - you're one of those super heroes who looks after one of those cities you mentioned.

You got it.

Supergirl.

And yet your day job is working for some woman who probably spends more on shoes than her taxes.

The Supergirl thing is a newer than the assistant thing. But she does a lot of good, and she has a lot of impact. I'm proud to work with her.

Well, so long as you're happy. It's impressive that you're being a super hero too.
