I should be surprised. But after everything that's been thrown at me the past few weeks... Well, let's just say that this seems more ordinary than meeting your older-self-but-not-self-from-alternate-universe-relocated-to-your-universe. So I'm not. Maybe I'm even feeling...relieved? There are so many people, but it feels almost...calm.

And look at that! No one's pointing guns at me! I wonder how long that one will last. Probably not long. And-- [At this point it flashes to video. A pretty blonde girl smiles faintly- though it's a weary, tired smile. You can probably also recognize the big S symbol on her chest too.] There. The technology here's still a little behind, isn't it?

Nice costume.

[miracleinkneehighs]

Thank you!

[unmasking]

What do you call yourself?

[miracleinkneehighs]

I call myself Kara. Others have taken a liking to calling me Supergirl.

[unmasking]

Kara's good for me, though I was going for the Supergirl one, y'know—

Uh, do you know a Superman? Juuuuust curious.

[miracleinkneehighs]

He's my cousin.

[unmasking]

Oh, so it's a family business.

That's kind of awesome.

[miracleinkneehighs]

It is not a family business. He has chosen to go about his own ways on Earth, forgetting and ignoring any of the wisdom or culture that our home planet has given him. He turned our family symbol into his own image without knowing what it means.

[unmasking]

Oh.

[unmasking]

That was kind of insensitive of me, then.

[unmasking]

Sorry?

[miracleinkneehighs]

You're apologizing?

[unmasking]

I ... yes? I do that a lot. I apologize. Sorry for apologizing if I wasn't supposed to. Uh.

[unmasking]

See, kneejerk. Apologies.

[unmasking]

It sounded like a not-good thing.

[miracleinkneehighs]

No. Not really. But It's alright. I understand.

He's.... a hero to them.

[unmasking]

And what are you?

[miracleinkneehighs]

Me?

I'm just a girl who lost everything.

[unmasking]

I'm sorry, Kara.

[miracleinkneehighs]

Sorry, I didn't even ask what your name was.

[unmasking]

Oh. Right. Social media, man.

I'm Peter.

[miracleinkneehighs]

It's nice to meet you Peter.

[unmasking]

You, too.

And hey, I uh sort sent your cousin to talk to you but I don't think he's the you that you know, sorry if I overstepped a little there.

[miracleinkneehighs]

What's done is done. I guess if Kal's here I should talk to him.

But if he yells at me, I'm coming after you Peter.

[unmasking]

If it leads to yelling, I'll take it.

He doesn't really seem like the yelling type, though.
