[ oh he can feel it. my hero? that's his line. ]

Yeah, yeah I'm good. [ tired and overworked and actually starting to take self defense lessons extremely seriously is too long, okay. he lets her eat quietly for a moment. ]

The Atroma are dicks. [ yup, he purposely uses a swear he wouldn't normally use to loosen up that stiff atmosphere. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she sighs, chewing ]

We can't just keep keeping-on like we are. They have so much power, and it isn't right. Even if they were using it 100% for good all the time, it wouldn't be right. No one should have this much control over other people.

[winn]

With you there. I'm getting pretty sick of just keep moving. [ sorry jim. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe we can do something about it. With Mon-El here, we might have a better chance. If he ever gets his act together.

[ chew chew ]

Oh, yeah. I remember him now.

[winn]

[ .................................

hold on a sec there. ]

You do? How much more do you remember? So, he's on our side? [ that's good cuz he kinda powered him up already... ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I remember what happened last time I woke up from one of these. You got mad at me for telling you stuff I remembered.

But yeah, he is, I guess. He doesn't have a lot of interest in being a hero.

[winn]

Uh...no, I was mad you told Kitty about my love life. [ ... ] I'm assuming it's as none-existent as ever. [ since mon-el told him in his time he's single. he's not sure if she's ahead of him or behind him. ]

So...walk me through this, how's he supposed to be our game changer?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, he's strong? And can jump really high...

I just woke up. I haven't really thought this through, but I'm just saying that there could be something here to work with.

[winn]

We're still confined by these stupid things. [ he taps his augment. ] As long as they can control us, punching hard may work against us.

[takingkarabusiness]

There has to be some way around it.

Anyway, I don't know. The important part is I remember Mon-El. He's not that different from what I expected, by the way. Self-interested and flippant.

Oh, but I also met Cisco! At home I mean, I went to Barry's world to help them out with a thing.

[winn]

[ okay, he's going to table the mon-el talk for the moment because HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE THERE. ]

You went to Cisco's Earth? How? Why? When? How long? Why is that not a 'we'? Come on, you don't ditch your best friend when you dimension hop!

[takingkarabusiness]

There was an alien invasion! It was just a few days, and I'll bring you next time, I swear. This was kind of spur-of-the-moment-alien-invasion, Winn.

[winn]

You get one, Danvers. [ pointing to his eyes, pointing to her. ] They're good, over there? On aliens and evil speedsters?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, we resolved the alien thing. And I met the crew. Almost all of them are like, ridiculously cool.

[winn]

Yeah, who'd you meet? [ story time look over here! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, obviously Barry and Cisco. Caitlin, Felicity, Iris, Oliver, Diggle, Sara, Ray, Mick—don't get me started on Mick—Joe, Wally, Jax, Dr. Stein...Oh, Thea, too! She's Oliver's sister.

[ ticking them off on her fingers ]

[winn]

...I think I'm gonna have to get you started.

[ cuz it sounds interesting. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

He just thought it was hilarious to say inappropriate things just to see my reaction.

[winn]

...oh. [ well, that's anti climatic. ]

Sounds like their team has one hell of a grow spurt. How about ours? Anyone else besides Mon-El join up?

[takingkarabusiness]

It was actually three teams. It was kind of a big task.

[ she pauses ]

Do you want me to tell you about your life? I mean, it's weird to hear that sort of thing.

[winn]

[ he actually thinks it over for a moment. does he want to know how sad and empty his life still probably is back home, outside of being supergirl's tech guy? he hasn't thought of catco in months, he can't imagine going back there anymore. ]

Just tell me if I should recognize any new teammates. You know, in case they show up. [ in case she's out again when it happens. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I think you know all of the major players now. There's a cop that's kind of working with us named Maggie. Oh, and Lex Luthor's sister Lena is in town, trying to undo the damage her brother did to their name. Oh! And J'onn found another Green Martian. Her name is M'gann.

[winn]

[ they're working with the police now? do they trust lena? where do you find another green martian? he doesn't actually know much about j'onn, or martians, or...so many questions!!!

he has to force himself to swallow them down and just nod. ]

Maggie the cop, M'gann the Martian, Mon-El the maybe helpful, and Lena the has to ruin the nice thing. [ couldn't her name also start with an m? it's a bad joke to make, especially for someone who's been judged because of his murderous family like him, but it's all he's got to distract himself from the FIVE BILLION QUESTIONS going through his head right now, and he does just mean her initials. until proven otherwise. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Clearly Lena is just starting her own alliteration club. It's a Luthor family trait, I guess.

And... okay, I can tell you're really exercising some self-restraint, but you can ask me things if you want.

[winn]

[ get ready for a very quick avalanche of words. ] Is the cop some kind of DEO liaison, a Supergirl informant, an independent addition to the Superfriends, or are we just working with the police now? Is M'gann also undercover, or is there an epic alien partnership in my future? Get her a name before Ms. Grant gets to her - and oh yeah - when we last left our heroes Alex and J'onn were on the run, and there was a dual threat of billionaire tech genius and psycho relatives - where do we stand on those?
