[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?

I don't want them messing with my powers. Is this a sun thing? If it's the- the suns in the port that might affect my abilities I could stay inside. Having a few of them it's better than not having any or having them go overboard.

[She'd gone training to planet with red sun with Kal once. It was really not an experience she'd like to repeat.]

And I don't think I like how crashing into another reality sounds either. Or turning into animals... how am I supposed to 'redeem myself' if things like those keep happening?

It depends. We've been to Earths - or planets, anyway - that have a yellow sun, but inmates' powers were still dampened. Sometimes they do it for wardens, too, and there's no way to know in advance, usually. I wouldn't swear off ports entirely, though, you can get pretty stir crazy just hanging around here without a break.

And you'd be surprised. The system does work, and sometimes the stuff we go through is pretty good at bringing up issues people otherwise might not talk about. [Also he's not 100% positive why you'd be an inmate in the first place, so. There's that.]

[And after being inside of a pod in space for more than 30 years spending too much time in the same place makes her restless, so her resolution to stay inside will not last long.

Still.]

If I don't want to talk about them I won't. Are they going to try to act like Clark on me? Yes, I have issues. I can handle them just fine.

[Sigh sigh what do.]

No offense, Kara, but I think your version of handling them could be part of the reason you're here. And whether or not they'll "act like Clark on you" depends on who you end up getting assigned with, but yes, generally your warden will try to get you to talk to them about the stuff you're going through. And they might get on your nerves sometimes, but at the end of the day, they're someone who has your back and will stick up for you if you need it.

[If it was anyone else they'd get yelled at and/or hung up on. But since this is Nightwing and it's so easy for Kara to slip into 'I'll be good' mode whenever he's around, he just gets a big pout.]

You make it sound like I need someone to have my back.
