Who: Kate Bishop + YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Yesterday evening.

Want to play a game? [ kate's surroundings are, quite evidently, a lush little corner of málum. the neon-y blue tinge of the bar's decor casts its colour over her features. there's a tall, impressively concocted cocktail at her elbow. ] I mean, I know I do. So here's how it goes: you tell me anywhere you'd rather be but here, with the caveat that it can't just be a home. I think it's safe to say that home is a very understandable answer, but it's also a little too achingly realistic for my purposes. So pick somewhere else. Pick Ibiza. Pick Iceland, if you want.

Well, unless Iceland is your home. Then please refer to rule numero uno. It also happens to be the game's only rule. [ short and sweet, that's our katerade.

and maybe about an hour (and maybe another drink) later: ] ...Does anyone wanna come dance with me?

[ swipe right, dear flooters. swipe right. ]

[ dot dot dot... ]

You, uh, went evil? [ because that's what's most important to take from this. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ yeah, well, that makes her uncomfortable ]

Complicated few days, like I said.

And evil might be overstating it.

Extreme PMS?

[ladybro]

No, no -- there's no need to sugar it. [ kate nods. ] It happens to all the big names, eventually.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, it's mortifying. And I don't want to scare anyone, because I don't think it'll happen here.

[ she hopes ]

[ladybro]

I guess that's up to the Atroma, really. [ -- this smacks of dramatic irony. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

So let's work on not giving them any ideas. It's not a pretty situation.

[ladybro]

...Was it brainwashing?

[takingkarabusiness]

No, a science project gone bad. Again, a complicated topic, and it kind of involves going into my weaknesses and how to take me down and that's not really fun cocktail material.

If something were to happen, though, Winn would probably know what needs to be done.

[ladybro]

Please tell me that's not a euphemism for, like...[ taking you out. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I'm not at full power right now so it probably wouldn't have as much impact. But mostly I mean containing me until it wears off.

[ladybro]

Oh. Phew. Thank God.

[ she was a little wigged, there, for a moment. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

This conversation got really heavy really fast. Sorry.

Like I said, it's not really likely in a traditional way. There's a specific space rock that has to be involved and... [ handwave ]

But yeah, the Siobhan stuff was weird.

[ladybro]

The personal and professional got all mixed up. I understand. That tends to lead to...weirdness.

[takingkarabusiness]

Except she doesn't know that I, Kara, am also Supergirl.

[ladybro]

You know, it's kind of impressive that you managed to find your civilian self a nemesis.

[takingkarabusiness]

What's that supposed to mean?

[ladybro]

I mean...most heroes end up with their enemies, right? Their particular big bads who have it out for them. But Siobhan isn't Supergirl's nemesis. She's Kara's.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, yeah, but why is it impressive? You have to have people like that.

[ladybro]

Sure, but -- none that tried to shove Kate Bishop out a window.

[takingkarabusiness]

Like I said, it happened right in the middle of a bad time, and she's awful to begin with. I normally don't end up with nemeses on my civilian identity.

[ladybro]

What happened to her? In the end?

[takingkarabusiness]

She's being held at a place that can handle her powers. She'll be treated well there but won't be a threat to the public.

[ladybro]

...Like, a prison?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, at the organization I work with sometimes.

[ladybro]

...Your sister's organization. [ see! she pays attention. ]
