Sometimes talking about it helps. But wow, I'm sorry. That's awful.

Did you ask for her life back, or for her not to have died in the first place? ( kara had thought about asking for her parents' lives, or for all of krypton, but -- it had seemed like too much. )

[truth_and_justice]

For her not to have died.

Her death triggered a nuclear explosion in Metropolis that destroyed the city.

My Lois is fine. That wasn't my world. The Clark there

The decisions he made after that tragedy brought about some truly horrible things. I thought this might be the best solution.

[immigration]

A nuclear explosion? ( well, hell. )

Not your Lois, but still Lois, right. So that can't have been easy.

[truth_and_justice]

No. Especially given that she was apparently with child.

The Justice League from our world was asked to assist those in the other world and eventually, I was pulled over. We handled it, but once I looked into everything that'd happened?

I couldn't let it stand.

[immigration]

Two lives lost.

Of course you couldn't. ( every life matters, but some people you care about even more than others -- kara doesn't even know lois personally, and her chest hurts a little thinking about this.

and not to change the topic, but -- ) Justice League?

[truth_and_justice]

The Justice League. Myself, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and many others.

[immigration]

I don't know any of them except you. Guess that means we are from different worlds, huh?

[truth_and_justice]

Would it surprise you if I told you that my world actually has two Karas, one of which was originally from a different world?

I choose to see it as just more family I get to meet.

[immigration]

Well, yeah? Kinda. I mean, it's not really strange if I think about it but. I never really thought about it before.

[truth_and_justice]

All the same... it's nice to have a Kara here.

[immigration]

And a Clark. Or two, maybe, but the other one hasn't gotten back to me yet so I don't know if he knows me.

Have you talked to him yet?

[truth_and_justice]

I'm aware of him.

After the recent experience, I'm content to see when we stumble into one another. If it happens it happens.

[immigration]

Too fresh still? ( that makes sense; she should have thought of that. )

[truth_and_justice]

Just a little nervous, if I'm honest.

[immigration]

How weird is it to meet yourself?

[truth_and_justice]

Sometimes, it's nice. This wasn't the first time.

But it's always a little weird. I know Kara and 'Karen' tend to avoid one another for the same reason.

[immigration]

I wonder if there's another me here.

( give her a moment to check the network. ) Doesn't look like it.

[truth_and_justice]

Well, you get to save that experience for another day.

Met anyone interesting yet?

[immigration]

Do you know a guy called Bruce?

[truth_and_justice]

There's a couple of minutes before there's an answer there.

Yes.

Another minute or so before--

He's a very good man. With the disposition of a week old sandwich about 90% of the time.

It's not personal.

[immigration]

I was going to go with a four day old sandwich. Guess I got lucky?

[truth_and_justice]

Oh, that's nice. He must have been in a better mood.

[immigration]

This was him in a good mood? Wow.

[truth_and_justice]

Him actually communicating is a pretty good mood to start. But yes.

[immigration]

I'll keep that in mind!!
