My Girl [Closed to Kara]

[fast-thrower.livejournal.com]

There really was no limit to how freaky this place could get. Owen had found his way to the city, and was just marveling at the sheer scale of it. He'd seen some impressive underground lairs and the like in his time with the Rogues and the Outsiders, but this was on a whole other level. He'd gotten to used to the steady circulation of faces. Some familiar from fiction, some from his 'verse, some from just ones similar to it.

But now... he was stopped dead in his tracks, head practically spinning as he thought he saw someone. "Kay?" He followed the blonde mass, making a wide circle around to catch the face.

"KARA!" There is an excited redhead running straight at Kara, with hugging intent.

He sighs and keeps looking at her.

"I know you're trying. I know you." It takes effort, but he manages to wrench his face back to 'neutral' at least.

Hug. Her. She's your girl. You're her hero.

His face wavers a bit, and he takes a step back. He doesn't have words yet though.

"You do. At least, you knew a girl who, up until a certain point, had the same experiences I had, until I landed up here. I might be a different girl in some ways, Owen. Just...be prepared for that, okay?"

"Sure." He replies quietly.

But it is her.

"Sorry to drop another salvo of awkward, but I think I need to just go away for a little bit now." He starts walking off, waving to her. "Hang out with you over a bowl of chunky monkey some time, if that's cool.

"Owen..." Kara starts saying, frowning. She doesn't want to end things on such a cold, sour, angsty note. She's done enough of that with Brainiac 5, thank you.

Impulsively, and powered by superspeed, Kara zips over to Owen and hugs him. "You know where to find me whenever you're ready to cut past the awkward," she says, breaking apart. "I'll be seeing you."

He tenses, but then relaxes, letting her hug him.

He puts his hands in his jacket pockets and turns to smile at her, shaking his head. "You are so evil." It's clear that he's still hurting, but he's not saying it with malice.

He starts to turn away again. "And you were right, I love it."

....shit, hearing again.

Kara just stands there, watching him go, a little confused by his words.

What exactly did she put him through back where he was from?
