[The ‘berry feed sparks to life and facility is graced with a fantastic view of Power Girl’s ‘assets.’ Not to mention the tight power suit. Anyone in visual distance? Enjoy those legs. The ‘berry comes up to her face, and that expression... yeah, she knows. She knowsRegardless she gives the device a smirk and flips her other hand. She’s on the move

I doubt the people in charge would be very open to talking to you. Unless it's to be sarcastic and otherwise unhelpful. That's kind of what they do, especially their computer leader.

Yeah I've heard a little about the 'bitch.' Name's Val?
Well, I'm Power Girl, I'll see what I can do.
Until then, what can I call you?

Yup, that's her. She's got the whole "sarcastic and emotionless machine" down perfectly. I'm sure you'll meet her eventually.
Power Girl, huh? With a name like that, we're probably from similar places. My name's Kate.

I'd say nice to meet you but-- hey, it's never too shit for pleasantries, nice to meet you Kate.
Now I'm going to admit, I'm finishing up the 'write up,' now. I need someone to back this up before I put the stamp of hesitant belief, 'similar places?' What do you-- they-- mean by that?
Reply
Yeah, it's kind of a lot to take in, I know. But it's sadly all true.
And by similar places, I mean that we're all from different worlds. Different versions of Earth, usually, but there are some from different planets entirely. For example, I come from a version of Earth where aliens, mutants and super humans are incredibly common.

Hope you don't have any stigmas, you ever hear of a planet called Krypton?
But alright, alright. Still wrapping my head around this. Not the different versions of earth, that idea and I are pretty intimate-- but, how they're able to contain us.

That's the thing. None of us are very sure. The best we can figure is that they're just...crazy powerful and have way too much tech in their hands. Also, you know that collar around your neck? It nerfs your powers. So that helps.

I've noticed the nerf. I can still fly, and feel some of my vision. Gave me a headache when I x-rayed too long.

Ouch. I know a couple of my mutant friends have problems with their powers because of the collars. I wouldn't know though. No powers. [And her collar's gold. FUN]
Reply
Mutants?
No powers, huh? Do you still use a cape? [Couldn't be sure....]
And tell me, how do I get myself one of those gaudy pretty-pretty-princess collars? A friend of mine has one too, and, he looks like shit.

Basically, mutants are people born with a mutated gene that gives them powers. Some use those powers for good, some don't.
Nah, capes aren't really my style. One of my teammates is pretty big on them though.
You get one of these lovely things [Taps her collar] by being murdered horribly by our lovely hosts. Or sometimes by other people in here. For people like you with powers, it takes all of them away. For me it's just a shiny, annoying reminder.

Capes are tricky, no use to them if you couldn't rip um if you needed to get away. Or, if you don't need bullet protection.
What's your style then Kate? And-- I'll keep that in mind. 'Gold collar: bad.' Almost as good as the advice I got from 'Speed', 'Dying: hurts.'
Reply
As far as I can see, they're not much use. We like to joke that my friend's has a mind of it's own though and doesn't like his boyfriend.
Archery. And martial arts. Wait. "Speed"? So you've met him then? Ugh, please don't tell me that dope actually said "dying hurts" like it was an actual explanation.

Any chance these teammates are hanging around? And capes are part of the flair, all part of the image, unless it actually aids in shadow work. [She shrugs her half cape a bit.] Cousin of mine helped set the precedent.
You know him? He's not so bad, for a 16 year old boy.
But he did.
Reply
A couple of them, yes. And I'll take your word on the capes. Like I said, not my thing. I guess they do kind of scream "superhero" though.
Yeah, he's...one of the teammates I mentioned. Speedster. PhD in obnoxiousness. And probably spent a good amount of time staring at your chest, if I know him as well as I think I do. [He's also sort of her boyfriend] I can't believe he actually said that. Obviously dying hurts.
Reply
That's the idea. You want the whole city looking at you. Monster too. Gotta keep it flashy.
Ah-! Well I know a few speedsters myself. [She rolls her eyes, maybe winks again.] He may have pointed out the obvious but-- he seemed a little bit tongue tied to be honest.
...Kid needs to pick up a book though. And by 'book' I mean the write up.
