[ 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.

[Huh... Well, here's a member of said audience, raising his eyebrow at what he just heard.]

You... Sound like you've put more thought into all this than... Everyone?

[ Wow, don't be judgey, that's Kara's job. ]

Hey, code names are a big deal where I'm from.

[Two can play the judgey game.]

Ah, I guess that'd explain it. You have experience with the whole legacy thing too?

[ Wow, don't make her snark about her issues a thing.]

Uh... Kinda? Sort of. I'm not really taking over someone else's name, but the family I've got on Earth are a pretty big deal.

Tough act to follow, huh?

Maybe...

[Yes.]

[A lot.]

[DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT HER ISSUES, MAN.]

[He chuckles before raising his hands.]

Alright, I get the hint. I'll stop asking, don't worry.

No, it's fine. Today's been really crappy, I guess I'm being a little bit of a jerk and taking it out on other people.

Guess how well that works for me.

[ She has the grace to look a little sheepish. ]

I'll still stop asking. Strangers poking at you isn't exactly ideal right after arriving.

Thanks.

Hey, what's your name?

Ah, it's Tyler. Yours is Kara, right? It's what the ID says.

Yeah, it is! Just making sure, still getting used to the tech here.

[ Also she's gonna ask J to score his butt, since she can't see it on the video. Girl needs deets. ]
