Who: Kara & u
Broadcast: Yep!
Action: Tourist/Rew System/w/e
When: Today!

[ The broadcast from Kara is cheery. She waves. ]

Helloooo fellow passengers. Wait, no, that was really cheesy. Anyway. Hi! I'm back in the land of the waking, so to speak, and it looks like I missed my first Fleet Birthday, which would be more of a bummer if I wasn't, you know, being held here indefinitely. Anyway! Hi! I missed everyone, so fill me in on your lives! What's been going on? I heard there was some pretty tense moments there for a little while but we don't have to talk about that if you don't want to. Or we can! Just, whatever you feel like.

Oh, and Cisco I need to talk to you. Not in a scary way I promise! Just in a normal... friend way?

Just call me!

[ Kara can be found on the Tourist or taking in the nature sights system-side. Come say hi! ]

No, and that's not even a little bit what I'm saying. Anyway, he has powers.

[outstandingbalance]

So?

[Pointed. Very pointed.]

[takingkarabusiness]

So he could choose not to do anything with them, but I know that when he decides to use them for good, he'll make a big impact.

[outstandingbalance]

And if he doesn't decide to use them? If he decides to live a quiet life, maybe take up gardening?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, Mike the Intern didn't work out so great. But if that's what he'd really want, that's his prerogative.

[outstandingbalance]

You're right, it is.

[takingkarabusiness]

And maybe that's how it happens. But that doesn't change how much potential I think he has.

[outstandingbalance]

Fair enough.

[takingkarabusiness]

I didn't mean to make it sound like being friends was predicated on him being a hero, because it's not. But I'm just saying, it's kind of been a central part of the story so far.

[outstandingbalance]

I can see that. And I don't think you should throw it out entirely, but between Mike the Intern and having the potential to be a hero, I have to wonder how much room you've left to just be Mon-El.

[takingkarabusiness]

I know I was wrong to push him too hard to be like me. We're definitely very different.

[outstandingbalance]

You are. And that's a good thing.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, it can be.

[outstandingbalance]

Hm. [Okay, Kara, no more pushing this.] Well... mostly I'm just hoping things go a little easier for the two of you now that you're on the same page.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thank you. I think they will. I'm less suspicious of him, at the very least, and it's nice to remember more.

[outstandingbalance]

You remember other good things?

[takingkarabusiness]

I remembered more about my sister, so yeah. She's doing well—better than ever, in some ways.

[outstandingbalance]

Must have been nice for you. I know you've missed her.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah. A bit bittersweet, too, because it feels so real but then I'm still here.

[outstandingbalance]

It was real, even if you are still here.

[takingkarabusiness]

Point. It's just strange when it feels like two completely different things happened at the same time.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, believe me. I sympathize. I just mean... it is real.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah.

So did Mon-El tell you any of the stuff he remembers?

[outstandingbalance]

Not much of the details. He mentioned training with you.

[takingkarabusiness]

Whether or not he ends up being a hero, he needs to know how to control his strength.
