[When the communicator switches on you get a zoom in on a lot of blonde hair. It takes a couple of seconds for Kara to move so you get to see her face instead of only her hair.]

Right, sorry. I don't usually use phones I like face-to-face better- but anyway. I have a couple of questions. And most of them sound pretty much like 'what is this and why am I here'.

[She frowns, one hand on her hip.]

So can we start with getting those two out of the way? Okay, thanks to whoever answers. I mean I know I’m probably being kidnapped for ransom but who’s actually stupid enough to kidnap Supergirl of all people and expects to get away with it. Luthor, I swear if it it’s you…

Speaking of Supers, I’d also like to know what on Argon happened-

[And she pauses, wrinkling her nose. She’s not stupid enough to let it show she is almost powerless out of the blue to people she doesn’t even know, so she switched mid-sentence.]

…to my parents and my cousin. You see, I was in the middle of a family reunion, and I don’t know if bad guys get many of those but ‘sorry I was busy getting kidnapped’ will prooobably not work with my mom.

So, to summarize: Where am I, why am I here, and whose butts do I have to kick to get back to my family?

[Her eyes widen, just slightly. Is that what she calls herself, in their world?]

I'm afraid not.

[Kara]

But I am Barbara Gordon.

Batgirl.

[knowsaboutanger]

Oh- uh, sorry.

[She was told she was here and that she would be different, but she didn't know how much. This is going to be... weird.]

I'm Supergirl. ...But I already said that.

[Smooth.]

[Her lips quirk, just slightly.]

You did.

How well do you know Oracle?

Video

[knowsaboutanger]

I know how she works, what she does... but I haven't seen her much personally. That's the way the batfamily rolls.

Video

[ladyofgotham]

Batfamily. [Her tone is bemused.]

You're - what, eighteen?

Video

[knowsaboutanger]

Yeah- it's. You know, Batman and his associates- it's a silly nickname. [And she feels silly herself now.]

Seventeen actually. Why?

Video WHOOPS

[ladyofgotham]

...It seems fitting enough, from what I've seen. Just strange, from my perspective.

[She stares for a moment, before shaking her head.] The Kara I know isn't much younger than I am.

[And she still doesn't entirely approve of children being on this ship.]

Video I SAW NOTHING

[knowsaboutanger]

[Her face changes instantly because she knows where that is leading.]

And more experienced?

Video

[ladyofgotham]

Yes.

[Her voice - doesn't exactly soften, but there's an odd sort of gentleness to it.] But she may have started out in a similar place.

Video

[knowsaboutanger]

Oh.

[That gets Kara to smile a bit] Then I bet I will get to be like her one day. You're a warden as well, right?

Video | Kara (pretend I've been doing this the whole time)

[ladyofgotham]

[She considers lying - but it wouldn't hold up indefinitely, and the truth might help her more.]

No, actually. Inmate, same as you.

[knowsaboutanger]

Weird. The Barbara I know would have been a warden I think... but then again I'm also confused about why I am an inmate, so I guess we're on the same boat.

Video | Kara

[ladyofgotham]

So I've gathered.

[Her lips curve into a bitter smirk as she shakes her head.]

Don't expect any answers any time soon.

[knowsaboutanger]

I thought if I got a warden to look at my file... maybe...
