[ Kara's been sick. Which is very strange for two reasons, the first of which being Kryptonians don't get sick, it's been essentially bred out of them. The second is that she's gotten plenty of sunlight and really ought to be invulnerable, with no need for food, drink or sleep.
Neither of these things seems to stop her from slumping over suddenly all over the barge for apparently no reason, fast asleep. Most of the time she doesn't even fall, just sort of floats unconscious in the hallway. It's especially annoying because once she wakes up she can't remember what she was doing before she fell asleep. ]

[ It's especially dangerous because, sick and suffering from night terrors as she is, she really should be sleeping in a contained area. Bad things happen when Kara loses control of her powers. Explosively bad things, like the flash of sunlight radiating from her body up on deck warns against.
The video turns on a moment before the communicator hits the ground. She tried to keep a hold of it, but the buttons started to melt. She's terrified, and though the feeling of burning up from the inside is a component she really doesn't know why.
There's a burst of light and heat like a solar flare and she screams in pain. When it stops the glow has dimmed a bit, but she hugs herself tight like she's still in pain. ]
I need help, please, Rao, help me!
[ She needs to be someplace where she can't hurt anyone by accidentally exploding. Luckily right now she's high enough above deck to avoid incinerating any bystanders. Anybody got Kryptonite? ]

My nerves are on constant sensory fire, does anyone really think that feels pleasant? I'm always warm, and it's hard to sleep when you're a walking lamp.
And I've been trying to get myself to just accept it. At least you know that one day, maybe, you'll have an out.

Date: 2014-09-28 07:21 pm (UTC)[ But she does have ways to turn it off, when she really wants to. ]
Don't you have an out? With all of the technology available I'd think you'd have plenty of options, both here and out there.

Date: 2014-09-28 08:26 pm (UTC)[But there are a lot of things that would have to happen first.]
...I'm honestly not sure whether I'm better off letting the hope die. At times it only seems to make the desperation worse. Clutching to a solution that I'm never going to really find.

Date: 2014-09-28 09:28 pm (UTC)I'm sorry. I don't know what else to tell you. It's been a year since I lost my family and it's still... confusing.

Date: 2014-09-29 01:59 am (UTC)I suppose that clears up a few things. For...both of us, perhaps. I'll leave you, then. To your rest.
