Who: Kara & Friends (and future friends)
Broadcast: video / fleetwide
Action: The Tourist, kitchen or Kara's room
When: now!

[ In her broadcast, Kara is in her PJs, hair down and glasses off. She looks like she just woke up not too long ago and the overall vibe is very "confessional vlog". She doesn't seem distressed, just a little confused, and tired—though her eternal optimism is always there somewhere. ]

Hey, so, question: On a scale from "wow that's super weird we've never heard of something like that" to "it must be a Wednesday on the Fleet", how common is it to just like, get a bunch of "new" information from home? Which, now that I think about it, is kind of a dumb thing to ask because we have implants that give us job skills training. But I'm just wondering. Uh, in the abstract? Something like that.

Anyway, I'm going to go get some coffee and food because I'm starving. Who knew that sleeping was such hard work?

No, I'm not.

Are you ready for this?

I'm an alien.

[ she's having... so much fun with this... SO MUCH FUN. Cisco is so fun. ]

Alien super hero!

[ well if barry helped her she must be. he points and hops in place ]

with human appearance but superhuman abilities! and you work as an assistant? dude! that's so cool.

[ :D :D ]

ok we are taking a picture together somehow, I don't care. so wait - Kara - what do they call you?

You are really excited about the assistant thing.

In uniform, my name is Supergirl.

pouring coffee by day - saving the world at night! Supergirl!

[ he might be doing a tiny victory dance ]

I love it. I approve. it's catchy and it's, well. super.

[ ahhahaha ]

you have a suit! can I see it? what is made of? you're treating it right? always treat a suit right.

More like picking up lattes across the street, but close.

[ it's so impossible for her to feel bad about literally anything right now. his enthusiasm is contagious ]

My boss came up with the name, actually. And the uniform didn't make it here with me, unfortunately. Winn made it, though. And the cape is made out of my cousin's baby blanket, so it's pretty destruction-proof.

You have another alien cousin? oh my god, that's awesome! and Winn made your suit?

[ hand to heart ]

I knew he was too cool for this world. he's - team supergirl. actually he's the me of team Supergirl.

[ she's so happy Winn has a soul mate here. Truly, a wonderful thing to witness ]

I can't believe you're the Cisco. What are the odds?

hey, it's a small space after all.

[ :D ]

ok, I gotta ask. what can you do? I have to see this.

Well, for starters.

[ aaaand she's hovering off the ground ]

[ ok he's actually squealing ]

you fly. that's.

[ gesturing towards her, actually speechless ]

oh man. this is so cool. Can I -

[ oh whatever, he'll be manly and impressive some other time ]

if I hold your hand, can you - you know.

[ he wants to fly too ;; ]

It's nontransferable, but I can pick you up. I'm very strong, too.

[ and if he'll let her, she'll lift him with an arm around his chest ]

holy -

[ he'll definitely be looking down and ok this might not be the peak of his manliness but it's definitely the coolest thing that happened to him here. ]

...can we stay here for a moment so I can actually believe myself later on that this is actually happening?

Sure. Tell me when. I promise not to drop you, but it's not like we can get much height over here.

I also have super cold breath and heat... beams? That I shoot out of my eyes but something tells me that showing you that in a closed loop environment in the middle of space would be a bad idea.

I'm pretty indestructible, too. Bullet proof, for the most part. And I was able to keep up with your friend when I was flying.

that is seriously awesome. I can't believe you've met Barry! he's - my best friend. we've been through the whole suit-superhero-meta human-850 tacos-really weird villain stages.

[ firm nod ]

isn't he awesome?

He is! And probably the only person who could out-eat me in a taco context. Maybe. Next time I see him we'll have to put that to the test. Superheroing is really hard work.

I'm going to be biased and go with Barry if only because I've seen what he can do with those and burgers and milkshakes one after the other.

[ smiling and looking down ]

this will never not be amazing.

I think I may need to bring us down. I'm not really at full strength right now...

let's do this thing.

[ and as his feet touch the ground: ]

two things - we need to try and get you another suit and also - what happened? I mean to you strength and how do we get you back to being - you know. super.

Why do we need a new suit?

And I'm kind of... the best way to describe it is that I'm like solar panels. I need some good yellow sun to get my power, but we're pretty far away from this system's star.

You might need to go all super here and you'll need the right outfit. It may not be The Suit but it can be a suit.

[ and as for the other thing ]

do you think we can find another source of energy for you? I mean, there are many replacements for solar energies that might do the trick.

Winn and Kitty have a head start on you there. You'd better ask them about their progress, but I don't think a tanning bed will do.

However, it's possible to recreate the effect of my planet's red star to null my powers back home, so there's probably a solution.

Hi, between all three of us, we're going to get you there.

[ operation supersun. ]

I'm going to work on that as soon as I'm back at my lab. I mean, this is really Caitlin's field but I'm going to do everything that I can.

Loop them in, okay? The last time I tried to volunteer someone for the project it didn't go over so well, but I think it's a different situation with you.

Winn is calling it Project Plato.

..ok that beats operation SuperSun, I'll give him that and don't worry -

[ whispering ]

Supergirl. we're going to get you sorted in no time.

Thanks, Cisco.

So, is Barry one of a kind there? Anyone else have powers?
