[ 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.

[ Playing it off is something that Snake is all too familiar with. Not just because he's known for it, but because he's seen countless other soldiers do the same thing. Sometimes an event is so tragic that there's no way to talk directly (or seriously) about it. ]

A pod? Like an escape pod? So was there warning for what happened?

[ She survived, and maybe that's what mattered most, but Snake doubts that she sees it that way. ]

How long have you been on Earth?

[notyoursupergirl]

Some, yeah. No one really paid attention though. Until, you know... [ Until it was too late. ]

Two years.

[ Two years. Not nearly long enough for her to consider it home, then. Snake's brow furrows for a moment. He really isn't good with this kind of thing, but he has to say something. ]

I'm sorry. [ He never really had a home, but losing your whole planet like that would be hell to go through. ]

Yeah, well. [ It doesn't help to actually hear, but she doesn't hold it against him. Like what do you even say when a total stranger drops something like that? Way to spaz out, Kara. ] It's. You know. It sucks, but it's whatever.

Anyway, I don't think we're even in the same galaxy as either Krypton or Earth anymore.

[ Snake seriously doubts that it's "whatever," but he isn't going to push the issue. He already forced Kara to talk about a tough subject, he doesn't need to press salt into the wound on top of it.

At her next comment, he shrugs one shoulder. ] You'd know better than me, but yeah, doesn't seem like it. It'd be nice if the captains gave us some kind of map so we knew how long the trip would be to... wherever we're going.
