Who: Kara & You
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: the Tourist
When: now!

[ broadcast ]

[ Kara is wearing her new sunglasses (blue) and eating Red Vines (red, obviously). The video is kind of vlog style with her just hanging out in her room and talking into the camera ]

People should tell me about the food they got from home! Was it something you love? Something you hate? Share!

Also if anyone wants to hang out, let me know. I feel like there's still this like, cloud over the Fleet from the shenanigans last month—reasonably so but I'm boooooooored. Let's make plans!

[ she waves and the video ends ]

[ action ]

[ Kara is either in her room or in the kitchen, hanging out and trying to figure out what to do around here ]

Oh, I don't know about that. You seem pretty heroic to me.

[outstandingbalance]

[A raised eyebrow, her face turning slightly away in question. Really?]

I have to wonder what you're basing that on.

[takingkarabusiness]

A hero doesn't mean just one thing, you know.

[outstandingbalance]

But there are some things it doesn't mean.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, that's true. Like, enjoying chaos, hurting people just to hurt them... Somehow you don't strike me as the type.

[outstandingbalance]

And that's it. As long as I'm not an anarchist or a sadist, I'm okay?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, it's a good start, anyway.

[outstandingbalance]

It's also a lot more complicated. I'm all right being something between a hero and a sadist.

[takingkarabusiness]

If you say so. But I'm pretty sure there's a little girl out there who doesn't know your history and just sees an amazing woman getting things done.

[outstandingbalance]

And that makes it true?

[takingkarabusiness]

For her it does.

[outstandingbalance]

And for me? Or for her when she finds out here hero isn't all she wanted her to be?

[takingkarabusiness]

You don't seem like the type to go around correcting people individually.

But I guess if you're not comfortable with the idea, that's fair. I just think it isn't one thing.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, I won't be. But sometimes things have a way of coming out.

[As Kara and Natasha both know.]

We agree a hero's not just one thing. I'm just saying, all the things it can be... I'm not one of them.

[takingkarabusiness]

I just don't like to see you sell yourself short. That's all.

[outstandingbalance]

You don't have to worry. I know myself, Kara.

[takingkarabusiness]

I know you do.

Anyway, I don't think I have an action figure, so it's still a pretty big deal.

[outstandingbalance]

Well. You can have mine, if you want.

[takingkarabusiness]

That might raise some questions.

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe. Maybe not. Does it matter?

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay so we'll move on from the action figure.

[outstandingbalance]

Maybe for the best. I got some caramels? How's that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Caramels are great! One of my favorite kinds of candy, even.

[outstandingbalance]

I could trade you for a few of your red ropes. That's how that works, right?

[takingkarabusiness]

I would like that.

So, how's the drifting time been treating you?
