[ Give a teenager a video function and a captive audience and it's only so long before they abuse the privilege. ]

You know, this kind of transdimensional grab bag usually sets off a few alarm bells. Integrity of the space time continuum, multiples of the same person in the same space affecting Reality As We Know It, blah blah blah. This is pretty low key. Like hi, welcome to your new home, here's a really ugly uniform, a job and a room assignment. Don't mind the teenagers necking in your room, that's just a thing.

[ Who's bitter, not her. ]

One thing I do like? Crew roster. Nice, simple way to check to see if there's anyone familiar; archenemies, familiar code names, family members from different dimensions who might not know who you are, ex-boyfriends who need to get their teeth punched in... [ She was making a point here. ]

Some of you need to work on your code names, though. Like I get being part of a legacy, but we have like five different Snakes. Five. [ More like three, but she's not gonna let a silly thing like facts stop her. ] That's way too many snakes for this ship. Venom I get, it sounds like someone who probably runs around Gotham and changes their alignment every day of the week, but whatever, I guess if Catwoman can, you can too. Live the dream. The other two need to flip a coin or something.

Or, wild idea, but go with me on this: pick another animal, be your own hero and/or villain, break free of the legacy cycle! You know who never looks stressed out? Heroes who aren't part of a legacy.

It's a detox, it's supposed to be boring and probably almost kill me, that's how we learn important lessons about life or something.

See, that's something I don't get. Why to punish yourself for something that someone else did.

I was maybe kind of a self absorbed asshole and one of my friends almost died because I got distracted by a hot muscly guy and my own stupid problems.

Still mostly Powerboy's fault, but I guess I'm not like completely blameless.

Well, it does take two to tango. [It's all she's going to say to that because w o w. that's bit too heavy.]

You do you but seriously.

Powerboy?

[ Literally the entirety of Kara's life, she doesn't even know what's oversharing at this point anymore.]

Ugh, okay! Yes! I probably should have clued in that he was gonna be a literal control freak earlier!

They say that love's blind, hon. But that name really makes it sound like he's trying to compensate for a small dick.

Debatable. We never got that far. Made out, got a little handsy, but never like all the way you know?

I mean, the people in our business wear these like tight, I mean tight uniforms, right? Skin tight, you can practically see every muscle and there is so much muscle. But you can't ever be sure if they're wearing like a jock strap or not.

[Unless you have X-ray vision. ]

...But I'm totally over it and boys and kissing. They're shitty and I'm detoxing.

Ok, just what kind of business is that? Figure skating? Whatever it is, it sounds quite entertaining.

More like crime fighting. It's all right.

[Oh, that makes her laugh out loud.]

Crime fighting in skin tight uniforms?! Man, your world's policemen are wild.

Something like that, yeah. It's totally wild, you should see some of the things people wear.

[Says the girl in the low rise mini skirt. ]
