WHO: Terry and whoever. That means YOU!
WHERE: Around the docks probably
WHEN: O'dark o'clock, aka between the hours of halfway-reasonable so-late-it's-early some time Feb 1
WARNINGS: Probable... violence...?
SUMMARY: Terry's back in the saddle. So to speak.
FORMAT: I'm starting with para but people come in with whatever you want.

Filling your dreams to the brim with fright )
Even flying gets old after a while, though, which lead to Kara hanging out on a skyscraper and thinking. And thinking. And then thinking some more. All this thinking lead, in turn, to a reminder that she still hadn't seen Terry's suit and had said she would find him on patrol some time.
Now was as good a time as any.
It didn't take long for her to find him and to hover a good ten feet above and behind where he was. The real question was how long she could tail him without him realizing he had a tail.

She fell silent again, only one thing flying through her head. She wasn't sure if she should ask it, if she could ask it. But... she had to know. "So where was I in all of this? Do I even exist in your universe?"

And... the question. "I don't know," he finally says, after a long pause. "There's a Supergirl -- or there was one -- so probably it's you, but I guess I can't say for sure that she is. Was. Slag, I don't know. Stuff can change, and all I know is 'Supergirl.'
"I don't know what happened to her -- she just kind of... dropped off the radar back in- 04? 05, maybe. Pretty sure she didn't die, because I think I would have seen something like that. She was big enough that there was a convention in Japan just for her, so you'd think you'd see some kind of monument or something. But there isn't one, and she isn't around any more. Bruce might be able to tell you more, but I wasn't born yet and I never went looking specifically for your- her?- files. There could be more."

"Pretty sure there was someone using the name before me, though, so... maybe I just never made it to Earth in your universe." And wasn't that a disturbing thing to think about. She could still be stuck in a hunk of Kryptonite, slowly dying while in suspended animation. Or maybe she never made it outside of Argo when Brainiac attacked. Maybe Argo was never saved. So many possibilities, and none of them seemed good.

Terry doesn't know quite what to say (stop worrying, stop thinking what you're thinking, you're you and she's her and you're different even if you're the same) and that leaves him not quite sure how to act. But he can think of another way to distract her. She'd said she liked him, after all, and he didn't want her sad. That meant doing something to make her think of something else, so he leaned over and kissed her, very lightly.
It felt so odd through the mask.
"Stop it," he said softly. "I still have my patrol to finish, you could fly it with me if you want. But stop it."

"Yeah. Okay." Her voice was still quiet, but she was slowly coming out of her funk. Words filled her head and she almost voiced them but couldn't, that reminder of home would have felt more than a little out of place there. So she gave him a small smile instead. "You gonna walk me home when we're done, too?"

"Anyways," she says, "Technically, I don't need sleep for extended periods of time. Don't need to eat, either, though if I do both for a long while I eventually pass out. So I spend a lot of nights just flying around, even if there isn't work to be done."
