to tie up loose ends to make amends
WHO:
supertorso &
battothefuture
WHERE: Terry's apartment.
WHEN: Sometime around today-ish? Today being Thursday.
WARNINGS: ... Possibility of some violence.
SUMMARY: Kara and Terry were gonna try again after their failed notadate. But then he got exPorted and never called, so she stops by. SHIT HAPPENS.
FORMAT: Quick to start, can do whatever after.
[ It starts like this: Terry and Kara parted ways and agreed to try again for coffee. But there was never a 'Hey, how does tomorrow sound' from his end and Kara was just this side of shy and worried about this whole friendship with a civilian thing that she wasn't sure she could call him about coffee.
But when she'd seen neither hide nor hair of him on the Network for a while, she got a little worried. She wasn't sure picking up the phone and going 'You're not dead, right?' was the kind of thing one did, so she didn't act on it, instead keeping eyes and ears out should he show up anywhere.
On the other hand, though, if she was just patrolling and happened to be in the area, she could stop by and knock on his door, right? Just... checking in. She could say she lost his number, wanted to make sure he and the dog were okay. And wanted to see the dog again. Yeah, that would work.
Which is how she ends up standing in front of his door, wishing terribly her x-ray vision could penetrate lead. One hand raises and knocks gently, so as not to... accidentally break anything. Because that would be bad. And she'd have to buy him a new door. ]
Terry? You home?
[ Wait a little bit, then knock again, a little harder this time. Maybe it was too soft of a knock. Just because she had superhearing... ] Terry?
[ More knocking. She pauses again and then knocks just a little too hard, knocking the door off its... surprisingly sturdy hinges. ]
Oh, crap! Ohcrapohcrap! Terry! If you're home, I'm sorry I broke your door. ... if you're not, I'm sorry for breaking and entering to fix your door...
[ She moves the broken door aside so she can step into the apartment and... freezes. Because that— that stuff can't be what she thinks it is. It just can't be. ]

[ And they can just play on the floor. ]
no subject
[Well that seems like the best idea]
no subject
Lady? Really? Does this mean there's a Tramp in her life?
no subject
Isn't that supposed to come a few years down the road?

[ ... WHAT IS THIS ABSURD CONVERSATION. ]
no subject
[Dealing out money and stuff! Lady ventures over to investigate.]
no subject
[ Because this has totally gone weird. She's also grabbing Lady and plopping the dog in her lap so she can give her ear scritches. ]

[ She pauses. Subject change, subject change... ] So how long have you been Batman?
no subject
Something like three and a half years now.
no subject
So how old were you when you started?
no subject
You're going to teach her bad habits, you know.
no subject
Alright, alright. Might be a good idea to invest in some chew toys, though, especially since she's probably going to start losing her baby teeth soon.

I picked up the suit when my old man got murdered, and just... it's what I wanted to do. And it's what Gotham needed. Things are still bad in the future.
And yeah, I know.
no subject
I'm beginning to think family tragedies are the greatest common denominator when it comes to people in our business.
no subject
Yeah, maybe. Anyway, that's when I broke in and swiped the suit. I guess Wayne decided that not getting myself killed was good enough to let me keep it.
no subject
[ Kara pauses and gets a strange, almost wtf look on her face, then. ]
I just realized... Bruce now has super powers of some kind. That is so weird.
no subject
It's not the only prerequisite, but it's a helpful start. And somebody had to do it - I guess I had a few reasons to be the one.
no subject
... I'm totally giving you the third degree, aren't I? Sorry. You don't have to answer, or you could interrogate me back or something. I'm just really curious.
no subject
I used to be a pretty bad kid. Broke my folks' hearts, broke some laws. I guess I'm atoning.
What about you? I know the basic story, but....
no subject
But the first one goes like this: back on Krypton there were two brothers, Jor-El and Zor-El. Jor-El was Superman's father, Zor-El was mine. When Krypton blew up, Jor-El sent his infant son off in a ship towards Earth. One of Krypton's cities was saved when the planet went, but the forcefield that protected it attracted some... unwanted attention. Rather than have their daughter face all of that, my parents sent me in a ship a little while after Kal's went to Earth. Except I got caught in suspended animation for about thirty years.
I crashed into Gotham Harbor, Batman found me and then I ended up living in the Fortress for a few months before going to Paradise Island to train with Wonder Woman and the Amazons. After living there for a while and then having a run-in with Darkseid I decided I wanted to be a hero like my cousin and took on the name Supergirl.
The second story... well, it's a lot more complicated and happened more recently.
