@THAVMASTOS    ☆    i  suppose  you’re  right,   diana.   but  i  do  apologise  for  my  outburst...   i  tend  to  deal  with  these  kinds  of  issues  alone.

            you deserve every happiness ,  kara zor-el ,  but destruction is a facet of human life .  they seem to crave it .  they are good people ,  as you say -  but we must accept that some do not wish to be saved && others do not see our acts as true good deeds .  we cannot please everyone ,  no matter how we try .

@THAVMASTOS     ☆    it   is  what  i  want...   i   want   you.     nobody   understands  this  like  you  do..   not  even  kal.   but  i  won’t  allow  destruction  to  continue  in  this  world.    i  truly  believe  the  humans  are  a  good  people,   some  simply  misguided.

it was a shock ,  so say the least .  one minute she was fighting a giant mantichore terrorizing gateway city && the next was / her / ,  emerging from the heavens with a halo of light around her && illuminating blond locks ⸺ like hyperion when he blessed helios to move forth his warm glow .  
          
          it was enough to get distracted ,  with the amazon barely having enough reaction time to catch the manticore's paw && avoid it's poisoned barb tail .  even so ,  she put the urge down to snarl a defensive 'i shall handle it' to the other before accepting that the woman of tomorrow has entered the fray .  the duo of a kryptonian && an amazonian was always formidable && the manticore was handled before being send to tartarus where it belonged ,  exploding in a shower of golden dust with naught but a whisper as it died .
          
          diana barely had a moment to catch her breath && wipe the blood from her nose before a crowd had already formed around the two .  she'd been forced to smile for pictures at the kryptonian's side with her arm curled around the blonde's waist like it belonged there .  instead ,  she hadn't seen the other in years && when the accolades were finished && press placated ,  diana pulled kara into her apartment with marble face twisted into something painful && not just due to her injuries .
          
          ❝  EXPLAIN YOURSELF ,  KARA ZOR-EL .  ❞  diana demanded ,  voice like steel && form barely moving from the force of keeping herself composed .  there were a lot of breakable objects in her apartment ,  this one that's just for show && almost clinical .

@THAVMASTOS    ☆    「 the  beings  within  the  phantom  zone  aren’t  so  forgiving,    they  hear  zor-el’s  daughter  is  close  and  decide  to  seek   revenge.     but  nobody  should  have  to  suffer  due  to  some  familial   conflict. 」     she  responds,    rubbing  her  temples,   as  if  she  were  still  stressed  out  from  the  situation.
            
            she’d  missed  this.    the  gentle  touches,   being  comfortable  around  someone  so  as  to  exist  within   their  space,    and  vice  versa.    to  have  someone  to  talk  to,   someone  who  to  a  certain  point  actually  could  understand  and  fathom   what   she  had  been  going  through.   there  was  a  certain  something  between  the  two  of  them  that  was  unique  to  just  them.
            
            「 this..   this  is  nice. 」

            diana stiffened ,  with the unexpected motion leaving her body protesting until she willed herself to relax .  the bit of touch && affection was nice .  she hadn't had anyone grant such niceties for some time ,  especially in the comforts of her own space with no cameras or prying eyes .  diana would shift her arm slightly ,  if only to pull the kryptonian closer so their forms were flush with her 'good' arm against kara's own .
            
            ❝  I AM GLAD TO KNOW YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED .  THERE HAVE BEEN MANY THREATS IN YOUR ABSENCE && MANY CHANGES .  I HOPE IT IS NOT AS JARRING AS YOUR FIRST ARRIVAL ON EARTH ,  KARA .  ❞  diana remarked ,  stance a bit awkward but her tone genuine .  despite the time && distance ,  she did like to hear of kara's stories && of places beyond earth not mystical in nature .  she also cared for kara as an individual ,  wishing her the best mentally after what she has seen .  ❝  WHAT . . .  SORT OF DETOURS ?  ❞

@THAVMASTOS  ☆  「  we  have  nothing  but  time  now,  」  kara  begins,  subtly  shifting  closer  to  the  other,  resting  her  cheek  on  diana's  upper  arm  --  she'd  aimed  for  her  shoulder,  but  it  seems  that  even  laying  down,  they're  height  difference  was  impactful.  「 i've  missed  you  terribly.  」
            
            Kara  does  her  best  to  ease  the  awkward  tension,  knowing  that  if  clark  were  here,  he'd  tease  them  endlessly  about  whatever  weird  energy  seemed  to  be  controlling  the  two  of  them.  things  wouldn't  perfect  themselves  right  away,  that  much  was  obvious.  but  kara  wanted  to  ease  the  distance  between  them,  return  to  the  exchanges  that  were  once  considered  normal.
            
            「  something  escaped  the  phantom  zone  ...  a  creature  imprisoned  there  by  my  parents'  will.  it  was  my  duty  to  send  him  back  before  he  reached  havoc,  as  my  father  wished,  not  kal-el's.  and  afterwards,  i  fell  into  several  ....  detours  before  returning.  」

@STEELMADE   ✭   normal  dogs  can’t  fly!   [  as  she  crouches  down  to  pick  up  the  shattered  pieces  of  the  IKEA  lamp  she’s  owned  since  rooming  at  metropolis  university,  lois  yells  after  her.  then,  she  carefully  throws  them  into  the  trash  can  in  the  corner  of  her  small—she  herself  prefers  to  call  it  homely—kitchen  ]   i  like  krypto.  really,  i  / do /.  despite  the  fact  that  he  almost  breaks  one  of  my  ribs  every  time  clark  inevitably  brings  him.   [  grabbing  a  broom  from  the  pantry,  she  swipes  up  the  small  fragments  that  wouldn’t  be  noticeable  to  the  human  eye  but  somehow  would  end  up  lodged  in  her  foot  when  she  walked  around  her  apartment  barefoot  some  days  later  ]   he’s  a  cute  dog,  but  he  could  seriously  hurt  himself  or,  well,  someone  else.   [  she  sighs  deeply  through  her  nose  as  she  discards  the  final  pieces  of  what  was  formerly  her  living  room  lamp  ]   i  just  think  that  maybe,  just  maybe,  he  could  use  some  training.

@acereporters  ⋆˚꩜。  if  a  dog  can  fly  your  lamp  can  be  in  the  wrong.  〘  kara  responds,  helping  herself  to  the  juice  in  lois'  fridge.  she  pours  herself  a  generous  helping  before  heading  to  sink  into  the  plush  couch  in  the  next  room.   〙  and  i  didn't  even  question  why  your  lamp  is  fluffy...

@STEELMADE   ✭   my—?!   [  she  exclaims  in  outrage  before  pinching  the  bridge  of  her  nose  between  her  thumb  and  pointer  finger  ]   how  on  earth  could  the  lamp  on  my  side  table  possibly  be  in  the  wrong  for  just  / sitting /  there?  i  don’t  care  what  he  does  in  that  godforsaken  ice  palace  in  the  artic  but  i  don’t  have  extra  lamp  money!  or  any,  at  all.   [  note:  lois  bought  two  new  pairs  of  designer  heels  just  last  week.  ]
