<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/tZaEhhy.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Supergirl<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Kryptonian protective uniform (House of El)<br/><strong>DAY: Sunday August 23rd 2020</strong><br/><strong>TIME:  8 AM </strong><br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Justice League's Secret Sanctuary, Rhode Island - Kitchen/Lounge<br/><strong>CONTENT:</strong>Getting to know the nice Atlantean Prince and talking too much<br/><strong>TAGGING</strong>: Aqualad, Open<br/><strong>Theme</strong>: Two Steps From Hell - Unbreakable (https://youtu.be/MK-lwIGwp9Y)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Kara listened to the Atlantean as he said his piece and replied:<br/>"I know. I should cherish the memories I have of my home and family, and I do, but they also make me sad."<br/><br/>As he explained his opinion about Damian and the argument from the day before, she nodded in agreement. Even if he was the son of Batman, that didn't give him the right to assume leadership of the group, and certainly not in the manner that he did. Still, if she was willing to give Zod the benefit of the doubt, she certainly would give Damian the same courtesy.<br/><br/>She chuckled.<br/><br/>"I guess I can be antsy sometimes. At least he apologized. Maybe he just didn't know any better?"<br/><br/>She felt a rush of blood get to her face when he touched her hand and smiled as an answer to his wink. She assumed he was making a joke but she lacked the corresponding reference.<br/><br/>"Rachel who? And yes, I don't know what in the world he was eating but that looked awful. I mean, why do that to himself? He doesn't even NEED to eat. If you're going to eat something out of habit or pleasure, at least eat something good."<br/><br/>She took a few bites, not that she was waiting for his permission to do so, but it reminded her that she had a full bowl of southern goodness to go through.<br/><br/>"Jeremiah and Eliza are great. Well I was already sixteen when I accepted to join the DEO and they became my foster parents of sorts. Of course they'll never replace my real family and it's not like I really need them to survive, the idea is to help me adjust to life on Earth. They do go out to work a lot, with all the aliens and metahumans around. I probably could have gone away with quite a bit, buy the truth is I don't know enough people to get in trouble. The few high school friends I did have were the good students type."<br/><br/>She blushed a bit as she replied to his question about boyfriends.<br/>"Not very good in the boyfriends department. I had one a while ago, a Kryptonian but he turned out to be a huge mistake. The genocidal maniac kind of mistake."<br/><br/>She smiled as he questioned her about Kal-El.<br/><br/>"Of course I do. He's my little-no-so-little cousin. The whole thing is weird. When we left Krypton, he was a baby and I was fifteen. Then something went wrong in my journey and I arrived here nearly thirty Earth years after he did. But everybody loves Kal and I get why. For all intents and purposes, he's an Earthling. He was raised here, he knows what everyday Earth life is like. He's 'superhomie' to most people. It's harder for me to fit in like that, but I'm glad he's here. He makes adjusting much easier. But he also reminds me of home so it's difficult to be around him at times. I… never told him that part because knowing him, he'd disappeared from my life to avoid making me sad and I don't want that."<br/><br/>She stopped herself and took another bite. She didn't expect to say so much but there was something about him that made her trust him, whether it was that southern hospitality thing, his smile or the fact he, too, lived in two very different worlds.<br/><br/>She shook her head.<br/><br/>"Our powers come from sunlight. Yellow sunlight, specifically. It's an evolutionary thing. Rao - Krypton's sun - is a low-powered red supergiant that Kryptonians evolved to absorb a maximum amount of energy from. Under a more active, yellow star, this ability is boosted and allows us to store tremendous amounts of energy - we're literally solar batteries. As long as we have energy left or that the sun shines on us, we don't need to eat, drink, sleep or even breathe and we get all those powers as a bonus. Oddly, though, the radiation from a red sun instantly turns us into regular people. I don't know how that works. But it's true, we didn't. We just happened upon them. I didn't know Atlanteans had magic though. I thought you were just really strong and could talk to fish."<br/><br/>She then looks into her bowl and back at him.<br/><br/>"Isn't it weird to eat seafood for you? I mean, you could literally have a conversation with them one day and turn them into a dish the next."<br/><br/>She grinned at him when he suggested they go surfing.<br/>"I'd be willing to try it. I never tried surfing. And I can't drown, so there's that."<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=309791.msg15072526#msg15072526">Quote from: Gannameade on 13-09-2019, 15:45:01</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>“Don’t know? Not sure how I feel about flying. I can fly through the water, but that much air at one time? Not really sure.

As you would say birds and I would say schools of fish, killer whales thinking you are the prey and don’t forget octopi wanting to give you a random hug.”</strong> He looked at her then he frowned.<br/><br/><strong>“You win! I don’t think anything would make me give up chicken for a week. I think I am Forrest Gump when it comes to chicken.”</strong> He stuck out his tongue.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>She giggled at that then stopped and looked at him, looking puzzled for a while as she finishes chewing on her mouthful of grits.<br/><br/>"You're a forest of what?", she asked, again oblivious to the reference.<br/>
