25 - You can't be a Queen, you know, till you've passed the proper examination
[ Video ]
[ Kara is as chipper as the day she left, though the sigh of relief that escapes her suggests that this is a recent change. Kryptonians do get headaches, it turns out. Especially when they argue with their own Council. ]
Hello again, barge! I can see I've only been gone a few days in this timeline. It's been more like a year and a half, in mine. Superman says hello, and so does Mother. They practically insisted I take Krypto with me.
[ Hearing his name, the big white dog barks cheerfully from his place at his mistress' side. She smiles and reaches down to scratch his ears, which quiets him down. ]
I brought some... interesting souvenirs. [ She snickers, glancing off-screen to look at the small pile. ] See, everyone on Earth is really excited about Krypton, and everyone on Krypton is really excited about Earth. And I get free merchandise, because everyone wants an endorsement. A lot of it has pictures of places the artist has only seen from other pictures, and the result is... well, like I said, interesting.
Who wants a volcano snow globe, or a cat light chime?
[ She holds up one of each: A snow globe depicting a very shiny gilded gold mountain with red "lava" snow, and what looks like a Hello Kitty wind chime in orange, but instead of metal bars something that looks like tiny lines of light. These are in fact very small metal bars. They reflect rainbows all over the place, it's great. ]

That's so cool. I can't get tattoos because of my powers.
[ She tried, though. ]

[action]
It means that my body eats it up, like food, or medicine.
[action]
... But on the other hand, then you could have different tattoos every week.
[action]
[ She frowns, considering the idea. ]
I don't think power fluctuations like that would be good for me.

[action]
You look... normal.
[action]
[action]
You ain't gonna attack me for saying that, are you?
[action]
Of course not. I was only making a point.
[action]
[Sorry Kara, you powered people intimidate the hell out of her.]
What I meant was, you look normal when you're not doing that.
[action]
[action]
Okay, okay. No offense meant.
... You're a warden, right?
[She has that warden aura about her. She's just been assuming.]
[action]
[ She smiles in a way she hopes is reassuring. ]
Yeah, I'm a warden. I'm Kara Zor-El, of the planet Krypton.
[action]
[action]
[action]
... Do we colonize, in the future?
[action]
When you translate our languages, the word for what I am is the same as the word for what you are.
[action]
[action]
Neither do I.
