Hail the Conquering Heroes

Things can happen without Stacy knowing, that much is apparent now. The damage to her sensors is significant. But the fighting clued her in.

After it's all over, after those captured have been rescued, after the injured have been tended to, only the nest is left, and Stacy takes care of it.

||Infestation of Cluster 42, Level 4, Sector 7, Sublevel 12, Zone 37 has been detected. Triggering internal defenses. Decontamination commencing.||

There is a pause.

||Decontamination complete.||

Simple as that, once she knows the problem was there. Her internal sensors are damaged, especially in the city, and so are some of the systems monitoring them. You have to know what's broken to know to fix it.

Such a simple thing and it only took one man dying to make it happen. (His body is gone, by the way, ripped to shreds and eaten. There's not even a spot of blood on the floor. That's the bugs' doing. The bugs' bodies are gone too--that's Stacy's doing).

||Any injured personnel that still have not received medical attention, report to the nearest lift, and you will be transported to the MedBay. Any uninjured personnel, report to the Living Area, to the restroom facilities to undergo decontamination of xenobiological material. Then report to the Obs Deck to meet your new crew-mates.||

Said crew-mates--and the Doctor, who'd skipped out and miraculously ducked and weaved his way to the lift when he'd realized the Master was there--are there and waiting, and just a tad confused.

Kara sighs. "Really? From Ti...Robin to cabbage butt? Kon, that's like twenty steps down. Even if Ti...Robin is, y'know, human."

Tim raised an eyebrow. He'd been on his way back to Kon, when he'd caught Supergirl's remark, and that was just... Rude. "You're not bad yourself. For an alien," he added, smirking slightly.

Hey--no good Robin took an insult lying down.

"Oh yeah, by the way, Rob's here and right behind you," Kon said to his sort-of cousin helpfully.

Kara's eyes widened at the sound of the familiar voice. She glared at Kon and snarked in a hushed tone, "No. Really?" And then Kara turned around, a sheepish smile forming on her face. "Robin! Fancy, uh, seeing you. Here. On this ship. Far away from home. With your, ah, best friend."

Tim's grin was a little sharp as he regarded Supergirl. "Mmhm. Trust me--I'm just as surprised to see--and hear--you here." He tapped his own ears. "Not super or anything, but they do the trick when I'm... oh, about three feet away."

"Ah, at last! Someone of at least moderate intelligence," Brainy says, of Robin. "Our situation isn't looking as hopeless after all."

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Kara looks between Robin and Brainiac and frowns. "Excuse me? Kryptonian super-mind here?"

"What are you talking about? You read teenage girl books and stuff. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Trousers ain't exactly high literature."

He was required to tease. Familial obligation.

"Hey! Gossip Girl is good reading!"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
"If you're in junior high school," Kon said, floating around her, just out of arm's reach.

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I...hey!" Kara rises up in the air as she reattaches her cape. "It's better than Penthouse!"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
"It has good articles!"

A pause.

"Or so I've heard."

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
"I think you have Penthouse confused with Playboy, sweetie," Kara says. "Playboy has the quote-unquote articles."

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
"See? My lack of knowing that proves I'm completely unfamiliar with both of them."

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I...hey! No!" Kara's mouth dropped open. And then she grinned. "It's really good knowing you're here." A beat. "So you're reading Hustler then?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
"No way. Hustler's kinda gross and demeaning and stuff. I have some class, y'know. Juggs has chicks that kinda look like normal chicks, just with big boobs. And there's also Erotic Amazons, which aren't really Amazons, but they're all muscular--"

He stops, as he realized what he just admitted and to who.

"Tell Cassie any of that and you DIE!"

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Like hell I'm not!" Kara exclaimed. "Ohhh this is good!" she squeed. "This is so good!"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
"No fair! I'm tired from fighting the space bugs--I blurted!" he protested as he flew over and tugged on her cape. "Most guys look at that kinda stuff, right, gu--"

He had been about to ask Brainy and Robin, but...

"Wrong people to ask. Okay, well most guys who aren't kinda prudish nerds look at that kinda stuff. Don't tell her. Provided we even survive the whole Superboy Prime thing, I'd like to get laid more than--I mean, I'd like to get laid someday."

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Kara tilted her head. "Superboy-Prime?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
By now, they'd nearly floated to the ceiling away from Robin and Brainiac 5. That kinda happened when you were horsing around and tended to do it in mid-air.

"...Said too much. You're all blasty from the pasty like Rob, aren't you."

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
"That doesn't matter." Kara floated up to Kon. "Who in Rao's name is this Superboy-Prime, Kon? And does he come in small, medium, or female?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-15 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
"He's--he's bad news, Kara. An alternate Superboy. Completely psycho. Hits harder than Kal. He fought the Titans, the Doom Patrol, the Flashes, the Justice Society--all of us, we only got a reprieve by the Flashes dragging him into the Speed Force. And he killed--"

Kon stopped.

"He nearly killed me." A pause. "Actually, he did kill me. They had to do CPR on me and everything, and I was dying but Rob got ahold of something from one of Luthor's old labs to stabilize me. Prime said I didn't deserve to be Superboy, that he was going to replace me."

Another deep breath. "When I come from? The world's coming apart at the seams. It's big. Other worlds crashing in the sky, Revelations kinda stuff. Bludhaven got all--and there's a war in space, the thing with the satellite, the supervillains--everything is happening at once, people are dying--it's big. And Prime's part of it. I got yanked here right when me, Nightwing, and Cass were going off to stop him. Once we get out of here, we'd better be able to go back to the time we left or...well..."

Another pause, as he looked down at Robin surreptitiously. He'd been talking very quietly. Kara would've been able to hear it clear as day, with her super-hearing, but he didn't want Robin to hear.

"Don't tell Rob, okay? He's from before I am, and you know he'd freak, but you know how it is with time stuff. I almost wanna tell him everything to warn him but who knows how that'd mess with it. What if it made it worse?"

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Kara's brow was furrowed. Her skin was a little paler than should've been normal. "...I've never heard of this guy, Kon. The name...it's entirely unfamiliar to me. Kind of, anyway. The Superboy part, well..." she points to him. "That I know." A beat. "Where am I when you guys are facing him off? How come I'm not with you?"

[identity profile] so-pregnable.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"You're in space with Kory and Donna and a whole bunch of other people--that's just as important."

[identity profile] girl-of-steel.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh." She furrows her brow. "You'll beat him back though. I mean...it's what you do, you know?" She touches her chest where the crest of the House of El should be. "It's what our family does."
