Do you need a hand? You look a bit under the weather... [ She's been watching BBC shows on the TV. ]

Wait, why are we having dinner together again? Not that I don’t like it, I just don't understand why.

What are you talking about?

❝ Oh... Probably should bathe him with a hose outside the house. ❞

❝ Quick question: Should we worry about the rotting redhead? ❞

Auch. That seems... Uncomfortable to deal with. On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you catalogue your pain?

Conner!

Ma wants to give him nice food. Would you and Damian like to come too? I can take you!

Are all humans so weirdly fragile in that area? [She asked as if that was a normal question before picking Dick by the waist to carry him like a sack.]

That could make transport easier, thank you very much!

Hi, Richard! Ma sent me to pick you up.

[Just flew off to go pick Richard up.]

Rotting food is unfit for human consumption!

Great! Who am I flying?

Do you want me to fly him here, ma?

[Already forgot about the yaoi thing.]

Wow, so many Kal-El! This is so cool!

What's yaoi?

I'll call you however you would like to be called. [She's learned that's apparently really important. Conner gets... A bit mad when called Kon-El. But Kon alone seems to be fine?]

Oh! Other universe Kal-El! It’s so nice meeting you!

What's MAWS? But yes! I'm Kara! Are you a relation of ours?

Still doesn’t understand the costume thing. Does her uniform count? Should she ask ma about it?

She is still trying to understand this costume party thing.

❝ Hey... It matters, ok? It matters that you cared about the big lizard. I am sorry nothing can be done for it. ❞ Even if only because Conner cared.

Kara nodded, her smile turning just slightly self-conscious. Did she even deserve all this affection? Why were they so nice to her? ❝ I'll be here for as long as you'll have me! ❞ She replied instead. Metropolis was fun, she liked going there and hanging out with her friends. But after a lifetime+

Kara's eyes seemed to shine a little bit brighter. She could get used to the words of affection, to the care and love she was getting to be part of now. ❝ Thank you for letting me stay. I do like it a lot, it's... I think I understand why Kal loves it so much. ❞

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

❝ I know where it comes from and it's intentions! They take over entire planets, destroying all "useful" native populations. When they are done ravaging resorces, they move on. ❞ But if that is what her cousin wants... ❝ I'll put him in containment and get it a communication device. But we have +

❝ Kon, would you like to give the lizard host a decent funeral once I get the Eye out? ❞

🦋/: Kara has the grace of a bull in a china shop

She is just looking for a containment cell to put the eye in. Maybe they should just drop it back to it's planet.

❝ Exactly! It is really fast and strong, we should destroy it with lasers. ❞

Nods. She doesn’t understand why the difference seems to matter to her nephew, but she nods anyway. ❝ The puppy was long dead, Kon. It's just a puppet for the parasitic eye. ❞

❝ The puppy was long dead, Kon-El. ❞

❝ Don't, that would make you an easier target. ❞

❝ Kal! There is a dangerous... ❞ String of completely unintelligible and fast-paced kryptonian. ❝ Your friends might become meat puppets. ❞

❝ They are very fast and strong, and a huge problem in several sectors of the galaxy. ❞

That won't do. I would recommend bulletproof glass.

❝ Wait! I've seen those before on F- Brainiac's records! It is sentient and can think. It also kills the host the second it enters the eye socket and moves it like a puppet! ❞ And she seems way too happy to be saying this.

Alright! Surely we can study that thing!

The Fortress? What do they want to drop at the Fortress?

If anyone is looking for her, she is having fun playing with the horses.

🦋/: Me here taking linguistics notes about Kara I am rewatching season 2 and looking at Kryptonian naming within the show because I had never seen a toponimic added to the Kryptonian naming system before, but I guess it makes sense within the context of an Empire.

Pondering flying around just to get ice cream.

❝ Good evening, Mrs. Kent! ❞ She said, bringing in the groceries. She was starting to get a hang of Smallville's speech patterns. It was proper etiquette to call older folks by last name. It was proper etiquette to refer to people as "sir" or "ma'am" at the end of phrases. @mrs-kent.bsky.social
