You can't change the way they get along, and I don't think you'd want to. But Kitty, I've known Winn for years, and I've never seen him look at anyone else the way he looks at you. Not me, not Cisco, not his brand new kitted out gaming laptop. Sure, he and Cisco speak some exclusive nerd language (not that that's a bad thing) but you're 100% irreplaceable in his eyes.

I know.

[Softer.] I know. [She has seen the look. Felt the look.]

Just being greedy I guess. I'd never want him to have less.

I know that about you. But sometimes feelings are just irrational. It's okay.

[passingthrough]

They really are. But things are getting better. It's out in the open and I'm trying with Cisco.

[takingkarabusiness]

I admire how open you try to be.

[passingthrough]

Hard to tell what people really think of you if you aren't really yourself around them. {Sometimes she's too open though.]

[takingkarabusiness]

It's true. I just always end up in a mess of half-truths and lies.

[passingthrough]

Well, try telling me something full truthed and lie-less.

[takingkarabusiness]

Um.

Where should I start?

[passingthrough]

I don't know. Is there anything half truthy you've told me?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't know. Which is a cop-out. I wasn't really talking about here, anyway. More like the fact that my mother kept so much from me, and the problem of having a secret identity at home.

[passingthrough]

Yeah, that would do it. I mean, I think. I never had the secret identity thing happening. We'll still need to get an answer out of you though. Hmm...

How about, are you ever jealous of me?

[takingkarabusiness]

No, I'm honestly not. I love Winn dearly, but absolutely as a friend.

Actually, if you want to know something a little funny, sometimes I feel like I'm going to be the odd man out.

[passingthrough]

I'm pretty sure you can be jealous of people who steal your friend's time and attention too, but okay.

Is it funny though? [Because it sounds more sad.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Ironic?

Because if you asked any of us, I'm sure that'd be a main concern.

[passingthrough]

Being odd man out?

[takingkarabusiness]

Sure. Both Winn and I are really hung up on being useful.

[passingthrough]

Yeah, you should both work on being lazier. I'll try to teach you my ways.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm pretty sure my mom didn't keep me alive so I could be lazy.

[passingthrough]

Wow. Is that what you're thinking about all the time? [Because that's so heavy it would crush anyone.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well... yeah. I have a mission. It just sucks to be here because I can't do much with it.

[passingthrough]

Kara... [What does she even say to that?]

[takingkarabusiness]

What?

[passingthrough]

Don't you think you're putting a lot on yourself here? I mean, she probably wanted you to be happy and safe.

[takingkarabusiness]

Of course it's a lot. But she was pretty clear about me protecting Kal-El, and by extension, the home he knows.
