009 - I can't go back to yesterday

[notdreaming]

[ Since learning what's going on with the network, Kara has changed into her ceremonial armor. If she's broadcasting to the multiverse, past present and future, she wants to be wearing her family crest when she does it. Her expression is hesitantly hopeful. ]

If there are any Kryptonians out there, please, I'd like to speak with you. I am Kara Zor-El, daughter of Alura and Zor-El, and I am very, very far from home.

[ Yeah that's all she's got for today. ]

But I... [He frowns, reaching to pinch the bridge of his nose.]

He's dead here, Kara. I don't know if things are different in that ship of yours, and I'm glad he found someone he loves enough to marry with, but that won't bring him back here.

[notdreaming]

You don't know that.

[ Wow Kara why are you even trying to argue this. Kon only ever made things more complicated. ]

He's fine. He has to be. He and Stephanie are starting a family somewhere, and they're happy.

[hetrustsme]

Stephanie. [He repeats the name slowly, as if he had trouble processing it. It's not the name that bothers him, it's the whole idea of Kon living happily ever after with someone.

Is this a dream? Is this his subconcious dealing with the fact that the kid he treated like dirt when they met and basically ignored when he wanted nothing more than to live up to his reputation is dead? Either way he's tired of using logic to justify how this can't be.]

So he found... happiness. Are you happy in that place as well, Kara?

[notdreaming]

[ Is she happy? It's a strangely difficult question to answer. ]

I have friends here, and a chance to go home.

[ Happy is maybe pushing it a little. [

[hetrustsme]

[After the talk about Kon, that makes him smile.]

Sounds like you're on your way to happy to me. I wish I could come, see the place you're talking about. I can't, can I?

The Admiral has to offer you a job. Nobody can get on or off the boat without going through him. Because, you know, it's a prison.

There was a version of you here before, though. From an alternate universe. The one Kon went to, actually.
