[ 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.

At least something about this is to someone. [ Kara will take what she can get at this point. ]

Oh Rao, don't even mention Bizarro, I don't even want to think about that. [ Or Lex, although she's checked and double checked and cross checked the crew roster and none of the names there are anything close to any alias he could be going by. Hopefully. ]

I do have one tidbit about our bleak space life: the bar totally doesn't card.

Hey, it's not like there's a lot to work with. [Which basically puts Zatanna in the same boat.]

Me neither. [Or Klarion, Vandal Savage, or the variety of other villains Zatanna or Kara could probably list off. If they're lucky, none of the major bad guys will show up from any of their universes--but given how things are going so far? Zatanna's not going to count on it.

Granted, she's also not going to drown her sorrows...probably. The tidbit does get a laugh though.] Yeah, but I'm still only fourteen. I mean, there's not carding, and then there's not caring.

Not to mention the fact that I haven't actually tried alcohol before. [Sneaking out, going to parties, hanging out with the Team, sure. But her dad would have actually killed her if he ever caught a bottle of booze in her hand, and somehow she doubts Batman would be any more approving.]

Okay, no drinking contests for you then. [That's basically what Kara's getting from this. ] I'm not saying let's go get black out drunk. I'm saying we go, grab a drink, flirt with some guys. Maybe dancing, though I'm not sure it's that kind of a bar.

After I finish my boy detox.

[noitatnacni]

That sounds pretty cool, actually. [Definitely better than the non-existent plans Zatanna's already made for coping with life in outer space.] And hey, maybe we can find the stuff to turn it into that kind of bar. There's got to be some useful things on a spaceship, right?

But boy detox definitely doesn't sound good. Bad break-up?

[notyoursupergirl]

That's not a bad idea, actually. Way better than just having a place for people to drink and get all broody.

Ugh, like you wouldn't believe. But I'm totally putting it behind me and growing as a person or something.
