Big, blue, extremely hairy? I have. He didn't have the serum for a bit when he first showed up.

Good.

[ And then, without hesitation, she just... Lets herself go and stands before Kara blue. ]

[ Kara is surprised. Not by the change in appearance, not by the color. She works with a huge green martian. But Raven looks so much like Indigo... So much like a Coluan, that it does take Kara a moment to process it. She tries to keep her expression friendly. She's already made so much of this conversation awkward... she doesn't want to make Raven feel more exposed or vulnerable than she already does, and Kara knows she's not a cybernetic being. Just like Kara looks like a human but isn't one. Her reaction is quickly redirected and her smile becomes more genuine ]

I hope it's not too awkward to say that you're very striking. This is your natural form, isn't it?
athru: (it's in my dna)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-27 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a moment where Raven is prepared to turn back to the other form and say something biting, probably crueller than Kara deserves, but then she stops. She doesn't do it because the other girl speaks and smiles and she's not actually sure how to handle it, at least not straight away. Instead, she blinks, before she nods her head. ]

This is how I was born.

For a moment, you looked like someone I knew from home. You're much nicer and prettier than she is, though. Also, probably less of a cybernetic alien being. And also not so much into taking over the whole Earth. I hope, anyway!

[ she's cheery, but she sobers up just a bit ]

Thank you for showing me. I know how vulnerable it can make people like us feel. But you really are beautiful as you.

athru: (i know these scars will bleed)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really care about most of the planet.

[ Not that she thinks that'll make Kara feel better. Raven's focus - usually her only focus - is being around enough to see mutants survive. She's not ashamed of the lengths she'd go to in order to make sure that happened.

Turning her head away, she transforms back. ]


... Thank you.

[ yes let's not go there ]

The whole thing with Indigo is too complicated, anyway. My adoptive sister killed my aunt and now my uncle is off with Indigo as the universe's worst power couple. Not looking forward to dealing with any of that when I get back.
athru: (today i've cried a many tear)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Raven just shrugs a shoulder. ]

My best friend paralysed my only family and then I abandoned said family on a beach to run off with my best friend. Then, ten years later, that friend tried to murder me.

[ Aha. ]

Everything gets complicated. That's how it works.

No. I'm not.

It's a silly word, anyway.

You know, some worlds have like, organized groups? Well, of course you do. You guys kind of have a team, right? All of it's so new to me where I'm from. Kal-El has his city and I have mine, and if there are other superpowered good guys, we don't really know them yet.
athru: (to shoot me down)

We were a team. The X-Men. [ But now they're not, because they're all dead. ] There are more of us out there, we just don't know where.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-06-28 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
On the one hand, that's not a very egalitarian name, on the other the "X-People" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Are you wanting to do anything with the school?

It works. Xavier, X-Men - there's a point to it.

Fair enough. I make an okay personal assistant but I don't think I'd do well like, influencing the children or anything like that. I babysat my boss's son for the day and he ended up on a train that was about to explode so I'm just saying maybe I don't have the best track record right now.
athru: (if you take her to bed)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm terrible with children.

[ Raven shakes her head, glancing away. ]

I'm terrible with most people, really, but kids... No. It feels like only yesterday that I was one myself.

"Dermatologists hate her", am I right?

[ wait you're probably not from an era with shitty internet ads ]

What year are you from?
athru: (it's just another night)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what that means.

[ Another strange aspect of the future she can't possibly understand. ]

1973.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-06-28 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. I'm from 2016.

And it was a dumb reference. Ads, like in magazines? Have gotten really awful. They try to get people to read them by making false claims like "dermatologists hate this woman because she figured out that bananas hold the secret of youth".

Anyway. It's not as funny if you have to explain it.
athru: (everything's different)

[personal profile] athru 2016-06-28 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Raven wants to laugh at how ridiculous it is, because isn't that why Trask wanted her? Because of her DNA, her abilities, her youthfulness and her transformations? In forty years time it would be commonplace joking and it makes her snort. ]

No, you're right, it loses it's humour.

[personal profile] takingkarabusiness 2016-06-28 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry.
