This was my favourite chapter so far! Especially the conversation between Kara and Lee at the end, the word play you use because of course this is about her. It's always about her (only they don't mean it like that). I think they're all very much in character, which one did you feel wasn't right? Lee and Kara together come off very true to canon to me, just saying.

also, this sentence:
"Herald of the Apocalypse, Harbinger of Death, what else could it all mean?" How many times have you asked yourself that, hehe? as have I. That's a good way to show she's intelligent, though, to have her think about other interpretations but the obvious one.

Oh, just mostly the first little part seems really off to me. And Lee's characterization in the series is all over the place, so pretty much anything he said, too, haha.

So glad you liked it so much! Wow!

Oh, I've asked myself that constantly, all the time, of course! I think Kendra's the type of person who would try to over-analyze things and then pick the most logical conclusion. She's not as out-of-the box like Kara is, but I'm willing to bet she thinks in those terms when she thinks it's necessary.

Meh, the first part was fine with me. I'm not all that picky, though, but I do react if something is way off canonwise. This was not. Lee I am very picky with, though, I hate him a lot in fanfic (and often on the show, I just.. GUH. I think a lot of people let things slide with him because they think he's so hot/pretty. That is how I chose to see it, anyway, beause surely they can see that he's bloody annoying at times?! Sorry that was ranty, your Lee is good. Very nice.)

Yes, exactly. That's how I see Kendra too.

another great chapter!
First of all I really like your characterization of the sort of vibes flying between kara and kendra, and how oblivious lee is to all of it and how he doesn't necessarily notice if someone is having a problem that isn't professional in nature. Feels really spot on.
And on a much smaller note, I thought the callsigns kara had picked out for the nuggets were really funny.
I'm looking forward to the next time kara and kendra actually meet face to face . .

Thanksya!

Oh, good! And Lee just seems like he would be oblivious, like I don't really know why, but he just does.

I think I stole the callsigns from another fic. I know I stole the idea of putting the callsigns in there from another fic.

That'll be next chapter!
