And in the end it's only round and round and round

Who: Iron Man and Power Girl
What: A confrontation
Where: Patpong, Bangkok's red light district

The distant music pressed harshly against her senses, a Korean dance number too muffled for human ears to pick up in this dirty street. Because of this, Power Girl did not bother remarking on it to her companion. She and Iron Man were too tired for that sort of thing, anyway- Kara mentally, Tony presumably physically. Now wasn't the time to ask.

After Helena ditched, Tony had graciously joined Kara's pet detective mission, her project to uncover the real purpose of the Asia Project. Her hunt brought her to a list of names in a Chinese research laboratory, human lab rats in the new science of stripping metahuman powers. It seemed straightforward enough, but these particular people were being used for something, and Kara wanted to know what. She followed tips and leads around Asia until she was sure of one of them, and then she had called Tony.

Here, in Bangkok, she was sure they had finally found someone- some answer, a clue to what was really happening. They remained crouched on a roof opposite "Boys Over Bangkok", following Jarvis' measure of spiking radiation in the immediate area.

Her eyes idly resting on a sweaty middle-aged man emerging from the sleazy club, she once again asked, "Are you sure she's here?"
