Yeah...

[he tears his eyes away from the staring contest he and the fish have got going, and then they widen.]

Kara?!

[ I hope you're ready for a SuperCousin hug, Kal. She speeds toward him probably hugs him a little harder than she normally would ]

Have you been here long? Oh my god, this is great! I mean, not so great that we're both here but I'm so happy to see you!

[lickity_split]

[ eh he can take it. he's probably hugging her just as tightly ]

Just a few days ago. Long enough to realize we're not in Kansas anymore.

[ jokes, he has them ]

I'm happy to see you too. How long have you been here? It feels like it's been forever since we hung out so this may explain why.

[takingkarabusiness]

Dorothy, I think you're right.

I've been here for... gosh, over a year? Which, I hope it didn't seem like that long on your end. There's a weird pocket dimension aspect to this whole thing. Think Phantom Zone but we're all awake.

[lickity_split]

Well, it hasn't been a year. We've definitely texted in the last year. Last time I saw you was that whole problem with the kryptonium and your sister's boss.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she makes kind of a pained face ]

That's what I remember, too, which is a good start.

[ she thinks about correcting him to say that J'onn is her boss, too, and a friend, but she doesn't want to rehash the whole thing, particularly when she's not comfortable defending J'onn's position either ]

We really need to hang out more.

[lickity_split]

I think that has become very obvious. If we're stuck in this game show for now, we should make the best of it and get that time.

[takingkarabusiness]

Yes! You can regale me with stories of your adventures and give me tips on how to be a good reporter!

[lickity_split]

[laughs]

I think you already know most of that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Your faith in me is encouraging, but I'm a lot newer at this than you are.

[lickity_split]

Yeah, but that's how you learn, cuz. But I do have faith in you. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to. You do it all the time.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ugh, hug ]

It's so good to see you.

Anything I can answer for you?

[lickity_split]

[all the hugs]

Well, for starters... is there a policy on flying fish pets on the ships?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't think so! Oh, but my captain is extremely serious about not using heat vision on the ships.

[lickity_split]

Well, that I can understand. Not everyone can breathe in space.

[takingkarabusiness]

And I had a friend make a kind of sunning booth for me for when we're between yellow suns.

[lickity_split]

... you're going to be sharing that with your favorite cousin, right?

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, I thought I'd just tell you about it and then bar access.

Of course I'll share it with you!

[lickity_split]

You're so generous. I think I'll name my flying fish after you.

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't even rate as a puppy?

[lickity_split]

Of course you do, but I don't see any puppies here.

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess I can accept fish.

[lickity_split]

I'll even let you choose the color.

[he motions to the red and blue fish who are still staring at them both with cute fishy adopt me faces]

[takingkarabusiness]

One of each?

[lickity_split]

[gives Kara a tilt of his head]

I was only planning on getting one.
