Dinner Date?

[x-superkara-x.livejournal.com]

Kara, Grant and Mar'i have returned to the condo after being debriefed following the war with the replicants, and Kara finally got that shower she was after since seemingly being shot forward in time. You can build a hell of a sweat on when you jump through time...

She leaves the bathroom, towelling her hair, to see the dinner table being laid out. "You guys are quick movers..." She grins at her two hosts, and notices there's a fourth place set at the table. Her look wavers a little... She's not sure how keen she is on meeting lots of other heroes at once, but one more tonight shouldn't hurt too badly. For a second she worries that Mar'i is trying to set her up with someone... She had mentioned something that effect. "Umm... Who's the dinner guest?" She smiles, nervously.

"Well Lex was the only guy who I met after arriving that gave me the slightest clue of what was going on here... I even buddied up with his team, Infinity Inc, for a little while. I was helping to clean up Metropolis." She says this proudly, with a little grin on her face. "Not bad for my first day, but I got covered in Chemo gunk."

"Hey!" She brings her fist down onto the table in faux-offendedness. "The press dubbed me Supergirl... I think. I wasn't that egotistical, was I?" She drifts off again, but comes back around to have a sip of wine. "Ukk." She shakes her head, like a cat that just had something irritate its whiskers.

She leans over the table again, this time for a conspiratorial whisper. "Mar'i is very... open. I think. She... suggested I sleep with her and Grant. But I think that's natural for her." Blushing again. And clearly looking for some kind of confirmation that it wasn't just that she was being chatted up.

"..."

Kara's mouth was set in a grim line. She knew that Clark would be on the up-and-up in regards to Luthor, but...In a weird, round about way, it's like I have a vested interest too. Or not. I mean, now with...her...here...No. Not your problem. You aren't his cousin. Not this one's.

"It might have had less to do with ego and more to do with just being a kid who wanted to, you know, be just like the only family she had left." She tucks a lock of her blonde bob behind her ear, and cracks a smile at the whisper. "She's...a Tamaranean. They..." Kara searched for the right words. "She means well, and she didn't mean for it to be dirty. She's from a far more sexually open culture. Don't...take it the wrong way." A beat. "What was your answer to that?"

"No!" Kara is really red now. "No! I mean... No!"

"I mean, I left Krypton before I had much in the way of... education. But I know that as a civilisation we're pretty conservative when it comes to things like that." She sighs, a little resentful of never having had the opportunity to... "Look. I mean, no. No way. Uh-uh. I've got to wait for the one man in my life, just like Kal waited for Lois. That's the right thing to do."

"Wow..." Kara smiles. "That's, ah, definitely way to go, I think." Though I'm still debating as to whether or not The One actually exists, or if maybe he got hit over by a truck someplace. "And good. Because she was in all likelihood just being nice, and I don't think that Grant is quite wired that way."
