Who: Mon-El
Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva if you're new too!
When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

It's a group who really doesn't like having aliens on Earth and they work pretty hard to do something about it.

[ okay that...sounds like a proper traumatizing kidnapping. yeah, he definitely gets a softer and more sympathetic look and tone at that. ]

Sucks for them, it'll amount to nothing. [ he believes in kara, he believes in alex, he believes in hank (he's pretty scared of him and they're on the same side) and he believes that if things get dire - kara will be okay with calling superman, and he's always believed in him.

oh, and he's pretty handy too. ]

[He smiles at that. Good show of confidence, Winn.] So far you're right. [His expression dims thinking of those bodies on the floor in the bar though.] Mostly right. [A very important correction.]

How does this work? Am I supposed to be keeping the future secret?

Jury's still out on that one - but I'll take the risk.

[ how can he not? he's already dying of curiosity. and if they do manage to bust out...hey, he'll already be changing the timeline by adding people who weren't there. ]

[Does that mean there would eventually be two Mon-El's? Is there enough ale in National City for that?]

That's easy for you to say. What if I'm the one who doesn't exist because of it? [Then he'd probably deserve it anyway.]

Pretty sure you were already born in February, and if you weren't - no bar for you.

Well, I did crash land on Earth and was out for awhile. All vulnerable and alone. I could have fallen in with the wrong crowd.

I'd help Kara rescue you.

[ how's that shoe feeling? ]

You always do. [What shoe? Everything feels fine here.]

[ are you buttering him up? he's feeling very buttered. he could get used to it. ]

So you're covered. Okay, we don't have to dive right into the heavy stuff, let me just ask you one thing. Am I dating anyone? [ he sincerely doubts it, but he's pretty sure that'll be the first thing on kitty's mind when he tells her about the guy from his future. ]

[He was being genuine. He doesn't need anything yet. Except maybe friends so maybe he was. Also, that was not the "one thing" he expected to be asked. Not that he had a list or anything.]

Not that you've mentioned, but we can work on that. What was it called? Being a tail man?

[ it takes him a second to work it out. ]

Chasing tail, wing man. And thanks, but I got it covered.

Chasing tail, wing man. Got it. [He doesn't got it.]

You're mated with someone here?

[ congratulations mon-el, you found a creepier word than lover. you get a face. ]

-- never say that, it sounds super creepy. I have a girlfriend.

If you say so. [He's sure it's no stranger than the terms they use.]

That's great, man. Congratulations. Who is she?

Thanks. [ on the one hand, it's weird to be congratulated for a relationship that's been going on for months. on the other, it's nice that there's someone who's excited for him instead of covering his ears and telling him not to cuddle her in front of him. ] Her name's Kitty Pryde. Hang on -- [ yeah he's gonna open the locket she gave him to show him her picture. it's not often that he gets to show off, and he's kind of excited to. ]

That's her.

[ even if this guy is up to something, which he doesn't think he is and he really doesn't want to keep suspecting - jim's right he can't live like that, he doesn't think he's giving anything up here - anyone could tell him they're together and he'll see her around, she's so social...besides, he believes in her ability to whoop his ass if he tries anything.

and kara's ability to do the same. ]

[He peers into the screen.] She's... When is it appropriate to say babe? [Kara made it seem like never, but it was Winn's word.]

[ that makes him laugh ]

Around guys. [ though he might try that one on kitty. ]

That's what you should have told me the first time.

Hey, if you're not telling me about the future you can't blame me for it, either.

[ fair's fair, bro. ]

Okay, your turn, I'm sure you've got a million questions.

Hey, I told you things. You didn't see Kara's face after I called the holoprojection of her Mom a babe.

[He looks thoughtful about these million questions he must have.] What do you do here for fun? [He already knows about bars.] I assume they don't have Garata here either. Dancing? Do you have your [He has to think about it for a moment.] playstation?

[ he's torn between thinking that must be totally hilarious and totally terrifying. the result is him looking like he's about to laugh his ass off with deer-in-headlight eyes. ]

Okay - no matter what company you're in - people's moms are never babes.

[ he's not sensitive about his but then again, people (him included) have called his parents much worse, because they are. other people, though... ]

One at a time - we hang out, karaoke, dance, mess around with cool space tech, explore the planets that don't totally suck - so far there's...been one. [ clearing his throat ] We throw parties, you missed a kickass Halloween shindig. Um, there's a movie theater, and I got some games on my phone and I've made a couple but tragically - no playstation. [ a moment of silence in memory of his beloved lost friend. ok, moving on! ] And we might? Depending on what that is -

That sounds like lots of silver linings. [Kate taught him that one.]

Kara described Garata as soccer with dragons. [And since he's not sure how to explain it better or what soccer is he'll accept that.] What's karaoke?

..that's cool. But no. Though we did have a Running of the T-Rex.

[ it sucked. ]

It's when you sing along to a recorded track. It's fun, though I'm guessing you're gonna have to learn some songs first -

[He doesn't know what a T-Rex is, but he'll let that one slide on context. A guy can only ask people to define so many terms.]

I did hear some music at the gala I went to, but there weren't any words. I don't think I know any Earth songs yet.
