26 - And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?

[notdreaming]

I had just about forgotten about this. Hello, multiverse! I am Kara Zor-El, of Krypton. [ She smiles, every bit the teenaged diplomat who has only really figured out how to smile nicely for the camera and not insult anyone in public. ]

I know it's a long shot, but has anyone seen this man? [ A miniaturized hologram of the man she means appears in the air next to her. ] We've been looking for him for a long time.

That's some straight up sci-fi looking shit, babe. That your old man?

[notdreaming]

[ Times when Kara wishes she didn't understand Earth culture: now. ]

Yes, it's my father. I take it you haven't seen him?

[skullfuckthatbitch]

Cant say I have, but damn he should be in movies. That guy looks like he could take on army and win an science award or some shit at the same time.

[notdreaming]

He probably could, if he really wanted to. [ She sighs. ] It isn't likely he's anywhere near Earth, anyway.

[skullfuckthatbitch]

He get abducted too? Cause that shit sucks.

[notdreaming]

I don't know. The circumstances are complicated. He just wasn't where he should have been.

Wait, what do you mean, 'abducted'?

OPPS HAD TO REWATCH A SCENE.

[skullfuckthatbitch]

That blows, so your dad's missing. Good luck fining him, babe.

I mean bright light and my ass was nude in a tank of pink liquid. Bitches blew up earth too.

[notdreaming]

[ what ]

Oh. I'm... sorry?

[skullfuckthatbitch]

Eh, nothing but a thing. Were gonna take over the universe.

Anyway, good luck. I should go bother someone else now.

[notdreaming]

Right. Um, thanks. [ He's a little confusing, or she would be more on point. ] Good luck to you too, I think?

[andyougoleft]

Well hello, Kara Zor-El of Krypton. You have no idea how much I wish I could say I had seen him, but admitting it would cause me actual physical pain so you're just going to have to take my word for it.

[notdreaming]

Slevin! [ She is positively delighted to see him. ]

Don't worry, I can read between the lines. How are you? Are you making friends? Eating your vegetables?

[andyougoleft]

Oh good, I can go back to grunting and pointing and scowling then.

[But instead he's smirking.]

No and no. You lost your chance to make me promise to do any of that before I left, so now I'm stuck trying to figure out what retired assassins are even supposed to do. How are you?

[notdreaming]

I'm good! A lot better away from all the press conferences on Earth. It's almost as though they expect me to know what I'm doing.

[andyougoleft]

Press conferences? You become a celebrity and didn't tell me?

[notdreaming]

No. [ She huffs. ] I'm working as a liaison between Krypton and Earth. Kal helps, but he's too busy with other things to really do much.

[andyougoleft]

So he dumped it on you, and you just took it.

Why am I not surprised.

[notdreaming]

I'm not sure, since I don't think you've ever met my cousin.

[andyougoleft]

No, but I've met you, you ridiculous creature.

[notdreaming]

Flatterer.

[ She has definitely done some growing up since he left. Or at least, growing into Earth. ]

[andyougoleft]

Guilty as charged.

You look good.

[notdreaming]

Thanks. So do you, vegetables not withstanding.

[andyougoleft]

I have a confession.

Kara, I'm a liar. I've been eating my vegetables.

[notdreaming]

[ She lets out an exaggerated gasp. ]

Well, I suppose I should be glad.
