Gotta start somewhere, right?

[ he's been learning it from kara. hey, so, can he just bring the whole fleet over to national city? everyone's worlds suck. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Right.

So... A quote or something, right? Right now I'm only thinking of Beyoncé songs.

[winn]

Lyrics make some great points sometimes, and she is 16 -

[ even if it's a really old 16 ]

Watchu got?

[ worst case scenario he could go for shakespeare and hope he doesn't come off patronizing. he could give it to kara to give to her, then it sounds fine, right? ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh, I don't know... I feel like so much of it takes more context than a sampler. "I woke up like this, flawless"? If her world is that backwards, I bet she doesn't know that much about feminism. Maybe something more neutral, like "she believed she could, so she did?"

I'm trying to think about all the things I wanted to buy on Etsy.

[winn]

I'll just write these down as we go through --

[ typing them out on his communicator, in case they want to revisit any ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't know how good I am at this, really.

[winn]

Oh come on, inspiring people is like -- your Kara superpower. I should know.

[takingkarabusiness]

I am pretty good at it. [ she concedes ]

Okay, maybe "This Princess Saves Herself" or "She Believed She Could So She Did"?

[winn]

[ don't argue with winn about your awesomeness, you will always lose. ]

Well she's from a land of actual titles and is about to be queen, so maybe not 'princess' -

[takingkarabusiness]

This Queen Saves Herself?

[winn]

I'm putting it down as a possibility -

[ typing! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

This is really sweet of you, Winn.

[winn]

Well, you know, if I can't eat sugar I may as well be sugar.

[ he shrugs, not really sure what to do with the compliment other than joke about it. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I'm sure she'll appreciate it. I want to get to know her better, too.

[winn]

I think you should, you guys'll be great for each other -- even if not for me.

[ shaking his head, he's shooting himself in the leg here, bringing all you gossiping ladies of his life together -- but that's what a hero does, right! ]

She needs someone like you to look up to, and to look out for her. Her situation with people from home is...complicated. One's already made a creepy threat against her. [ yes, he was always going to bring this up. because kara is so much better equipped to protect her, even half powered. but it was nice, for a couple minutes, to just have a simple fun easy exchange. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

You should run a Big Brothers, Big Sisters program here. I feel like we could all help each other out.

[winn]

I think that counts as a project - besides, it sounds more up your alley anyway.

[takingkarabusiness]

Sure, only invoking my rule when it's to use it against me.

[winn]

That's what rules are for!

[takingkarabusiness]

I think the dictionary would argue with your assessment, Winn.

[winn]

They update too slowly.

[takingkarabusiness]

Wikipedia, then.

[winn]

That's an easy fix.

[ he'll just edit it. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

You know what I mean.

[winn]

I won, and you'll do it?
