Dean attacked Anya.
( cw: blood, talk of gore and torture likely in comments )
He's in Zero now. If the punishment isn't leaving him to rot there for the rest of his sorry existence, I don't want anything to do with it. [ Her voice is icy cold with the hatred she's feeling right now. Not just for Dean, either - for the Admiral too. ]
Anya is alive and being treated. I doubt she'll welcome casual visitors.
Ah, and maintenance - Pietro and I had to destroy one of the cells. I don't know if the Admiral will replace what was broken. He doesn't seem to care.

[ When she wakes up in her bed she feels the familiar ache of the death toll and sighs. She knows she has to build up her energy stores again, after spending everything she had in that awful tower. Best to get herself to the infirmary, then. They'll be busy, with everyone who must have been hurt in the last few days.
She starts to get up off the bed and has to stop - she's too dizzy. This is no good. She picks up the communicator from her nightstand and turns it on to ask someone to help her get to the infirmary.
What she finds there makes her forget she needed the infirmary at all. ]

Wha- what have I been doing the last two months?!
[ She must have died a second time, she figures. Something that wiped her memory of the last two months which have apparently passed since her death in the Tower of Karazhan. ]

[ Through the first two days of port Kara was fine. She could be found all over the tower, especially in those places where battles were likely to be had. She destroys guardsmen's swords, crushes giant spiders in the servant's quarters, even kills snakes in the menagerie.
There was a stretch of many hours when Kara was lost in the guest quarters, distracted by pretty boys and girls, drained of what energy she has left. For a long time she simply sat, staring happily at the pseudohumans who bustled so busily about.
It was the third day when she realized she was getting tired. The way that time moved here confused her, and she couldn't keep track of her power levels like she could have anywhere else. Still she sought out people who needed her help, and searched for the bearded man who must have had something terrible planned. The broken stair was a long chore, and she wasn't sure anymore how many times she'd crossed it. She kept finding herself back in the basement and lower levels of the tower, where monsters roam.
It was the imps in the library that finally forced her to find a quiet corner to rest. She was able to frighten them off, but it took more effort than she liked. She clutched at her side as she scanned the shelves for a clear route to the exit. She wasn't healing as quickly as she should have been. ]

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.

[ 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. ]

[ It isn't for a good while after Kylar's post that Kara is able to stop crying long enough to make a post of her own. There is going to be much more crying, and she's sure almost as much confusion. There's still some evidence in the redness of her cheeks and the puffiness around her eyes. She doesn't seem capable of not smiling. ]
Kyle has graduated, and we're both going home. I can't make any promises about what he's going to do, but I'll be back just as soon as things settle down between Krypton and Earth. [ Gods it feels so good to say that. Too bad it's physically impossible for her to smile any wider. Krypto in the background is much more predictable in his excitement, barreling around in circles both on carpet and in air. ]
Thank you, everyone, for being here, and helping, and- [ Crap abort she's gonna start crying again ]
I'm bringing back souvenirs, so if there's anything anyone wants from either planet, let me know now.

[ For all the time Kara spends in her room, she spends at least an equal amount of time in the Enclosure, soaking up the sun and enjoying the sights. She's very content these days, satisfied with the friends she's made on the barge and the progress Kyle has made toward graduation. Some day soon she will be able to return home, she can feel it.
Those who frequent the pub know where to find their bouncer and amateur drink mixer. She is merciless with troublemakers and any who aren't supposed to be drinking. She can still be found in the library as well, continuing her studies of Terran medicine as well as that of other species. She's always been passionate about learning: it's as natural to her as breathing.
If she's been having bad dreams, it doesn't seem to have dented her mood yet. ]

[ 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. ]

Hello, Dark Heart. I don't think we've met properly. I'm Kara Zor-El, and I'm going to be your warden for the next month. I know your old warden just left recently, I hope it isn't too much of a shock.

If you're receiving this message, our network's broadcast frequency has interrupted whatever it is you're seeing this on. Don't worry, it's temporary.
My name is Kara Zor-El, though some people call me Supergirl, and I'm a warden aboard an extra-temporal inter-universal prison ship which we call the Barge. I come from the planet Krypton, but our ship is able to translate most forms of communication. That's why you can understand me.
The last time our network malfunctioned I asked to speak with any other Kryptonians who might be receiving my broadcast. I would still like to talk with you, if you aren't busy, but really I only want to chat a while. I've been on this ship for a year now, and it's always nice to see new faces.

[ Kara is wearing her graduation outfit again, which to most people would be called her superhero outfit. She'll have you know it's the height of Kryptonian fashion and the proper attire for an ambassador on an alien planet. Also it's super comfy. She smiles and waves at the camera from a position high enough in the air to give a fantastic view of this port. ]
Hello, everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm going out this port, so if anybody needs help or anything at all, all you have to do is shout. I won't be using this phone much.
Have fun!

That goes especially for you two. Don't hesitate to call, alright?

If you haven't figured it out by now, Kylar Stern is gone. He didn't graduate, he just disappeared. I know he didn't have a ton of friends here, but he's still worth mentioning.
[ She really like Kyle, and was reasonably sure she could have helped him graduate, given time. But no, now he's just plain dead. And it's too late to linger on it, because she's already on the roster for a temp inmate. ]

Excuse me?
[ Kara is speaking (quite politely) in Kryptonian. It's up to you if your character can understand her, or if she can understand them. ]
I'm not sure what's going on here, but I need to get back home. Mother will be furious if I'm even one thrib late getting to the trials, and I'm not dressed for it or anything. I'm supposed to meet Tali at her house in Argo. How far are we from there?

[ Kara is standing in front of That Door. Well, leaning against it, actually. Her expression is utterly bored, and her tone vaguely condescending. ]
I think I was unconscious the last time these imposters or whatever you people are showed up. So stop me if I'm mistaken, but you come from a different barge, right? One that still works? I'm sure you're all positively terrified to speak up after Ben's little show, but honestly, grow a backbone.
[ She turns the camera so that it captures the whole of The Door. There can be no mistaking what she's talking about. ]
And you have something to do with this door, too. So, and again, tell me if I'm wrong about this, but some of you probably want to go through it again, don't you?
I just want to make this totally clear: Nobody is going anywhere without me.
Now do you want to speak up?

Um. What happens if I broke it?
[ Kara looks vaguely terrified, and she's holding what appears to be Dean's (or maybe Ben's, has anyone noticed how alike they look?) porcelain head gingerly by its hair. The rest of the doll is conspicuously absent. ]
I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, it just sort of... crumbled in my hand.

[ Kara looks quite pleased with herself today, and for good reason too. See, she's done some very basic calculations, and she's pretty happy with the answer. ]
Dean's questions got me wondering, so I looked up Earth's orbital frequencies and calendars. It turns out that the approximate equivalent of my birthday is September 22nd. That's about five months from now, if I have the order right.
As it also turns out, in Earth years I'll be turning 23. I guess Kryptonians live a lot longer than Terrans. Who knew?
[ Everyone probably knew, but Kara is just so smug. ]
