I appreciate what you're saying, Kitty, I really do. But there are different standards for me. I'm okay with it.

[passingthrough]

Why are there different standards for you?

[takingkarabusiness]

Because the hopes and dreams of Krypton—the language, history, and culture—lies with me. Kal-El was an infant. He doesn't know any of it. I wasn't. I was old enough to know these things, and with my aunt dead, it really is my responsibility.

[passingthrough]

[Just have a worried look, Kara. It's also a thoughtful one because at this point she and Kurt are the only escapees from their dying world too. But there's plenty of earth culture to go around. Not to mention earths that turned out a lot better than theirs. Was there anything from it she really needed to pass along?]

I can't talk you out of that kind of pressure can I?

[takingkarabusiness]

Sorry, Kitty. The last thing I told my mother is that I wouldn't fail her. It goes pretty deep.

But I'll try to keep an eye on it so I don't go totally overboard.

[passingthrough]

Promise to dead parent? Yeah, that would be up there. [She'd move the heavens and the earth for it. Except she was just doing some homework at her desk. She doesn't remember their last words. It feels like she should. Maybe something about what they should have for dinner? It was just normal. A normal day. Until it wasn't. Until it was the worst day.

She nods.] Not going overboard is always a good thing. [She'd think Kara's mom would agree, but it's not like she actually knows anything about the woman. And if she doesn't agree then she's wrong, okay?]

[takingkarabusiness]

I really appreciate that you care, though. It's nice.

[passingthrough]

Well, I had to be hiding niceness in here somewhere or I don't think Winn and I would have worked.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ don't joke about siobhan don't joke about siobhan don't joke about siobhan ]

At the very least, I would have Disapproved.

[passingthrough]

[They didn't work!]

Seems like that would have been enough. [Except for the time it wasn't...] In the long run.

[takingkarabusiness]

Probably.

[passingthrough]

You're extremely important to him. [And yes, it's weird she only gets jealous of Cisco and not Kara. Maybe because she knew what she was signing up for where Kara was concerned.]

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm very lucky to be his friend.

[passingthrough]

You are. He's great. Kind of beyond great.

[takingkarabusiness]

Except for his fatal flaw: inter-world twin.

[passingthrough]

Maybe it's a good thing I'm having trouble with Cisco. Everyone says they are so alike it could be a different kind of problem. [Where she likes him too much. This is not a problem she's worried about.]

[takingkarabusiness]

A nerd love triangle I don't think anyone wants to see.

[passingthrough]

You don't know. We could be very compelling. [Lowering her voice] I still think it's more likely we'd be fighting over Winn than me though.

[takingkarabusiness]

You know, I don't disagree with you.

[passingthrough]

[Kitty just laughs softly.]

He's really great though. Winn, I mean. Do you know what he did? [She reaches up to adjust her necklace which had fallen beneath her shirt. It's a locket.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Oh? What is that? Did he make it?

[passingthrough]

You know I'm pretty sure he bought it, but I thought that about the slinky too. He did insert the pictures though. [She opens it up and so she can see the image of Winn on one side and Kurt on the other.]

[takingkarabusiness]

Wow, that's incredibly sweet. Buying's just as good as making, but to have the thought... that's awesome.

[passingthrough]

Right. I hope he just bought it. I'd hate to think of him losing any more sleep over this.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's a maniac.

[ she says that with love ]
