What language would you prefer? Tiếng Việt? Français? Deutsche?

[ ... Now she's showing off. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ it sounds like /kryptahniuo/ but is clearly alien. she smiles and switches back ]

Still working on my other Earth languages, though.

[athru]

[ Raven blinks - but she doesn't try and attempt the language. Not yet, at least. ]

I'll learn that one day.

[takingkarabusiness]

I can work on it with you. It might be nice, actually.

But I'll make sure my "definitely Kara and not Raven" test is something harder.

[ she kids she kids. she doesn't at all think raven would impersonate her ]

[athru]

I'd like that.

[ It also means if anyone from Kara's... World, or planet... Joins then Raven can deal with them and be covert about it. She has to keep her head in the game somehow, right? ]

I'm good with languages.

[takingkarabusiness]

Clearly. That's amazing. But I imagine it helps when you're trying to blend in.

[athru]

I think it's part of my mutation. There's no point of learning to be someone if I can't pick up their language.

[takingkarabusiness]

It makes sense to me, honestly. And it seems extremely useful. Have you kept track of how many you know?

[athru]

More than a handful. [ She shakes her head. ] I learn them when I need them.

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you have a favorite?

[athru]

Language? No. English is obviously the best because it's my first, but... They're just ways of speaking.

[takingkarabusiness]

True. I just like all the ways people can communicate. It's fascinating. We had a united language on Krypton, but I knew a few others.

[athru]

I never had time to think of it like that. [ Which is almost a shame, she thinks. ] Maybe in the future.

[takingkarabusiness]

Why not here?

[athru]

I don't know. [ She does.

She doesn't trust this place to last. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I definitely don't plan on being here forever. Actually, the sooner I can get back home, the better. But I've basically resolved to enjoy myself if I'm given the chance, here.

[athru]

How do you think you're going to get home, Kara?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, either Winn, Cisco, and Hank are going to figure out how to engineer something to open portals or something, or we'll be released at the whims of our captors.

[athru]

What if the world isn't better at home?

[takingkarabusiness]

What do you mean?

[athru]

What if this place is better than the world we're from?

[takingkarabusiness]

I wouldn't make anyone's decision for them. I'm sure that's the case for some people, absolutely, and so I wouldn't judge if people wanted to stay here. I can't, though, no matter how bad my Earth could get, I have an obligation to uphold. I can help make it better.

[athru]

At least someone can.

[ Raven is trying to be hopeful, for Charles' sake if no one else's, but it's not quite that easy.

Kara's Earth is lucky someone gives a damn about it. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

It'd be kind of lousy to be a survivor of two dead planets. Plus, my cousin is still there, and my sister and her mom.

[athru]

Then you need to go back to them. They're important. I understand that.
