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.

"Oh, hey, that's right," Grant replies. He finishes one of the dolma, then takes a sip of wine, glancing at the plate Mar'i has set down for them. Not too bad for an impromptu dinner date.

"Who's the chairperson of the JSA now, anyway? I've been meaning to go by the Brownstone at some point, and it should be easier now that we're in Philadelphia."

He pauses, then looks around the table, brows lifting. "Hey... wait, why don't we all go together? Karen, you're on the team, right? You could totally show us around - maybe introduce us to some of the Founders?"

Kara sets down her water glass and grabs a stuffed grape leaf. "More than that, Grant," she says warmly. "I was practically raised by the Founders." She nods. "I would love to. Just let me know when."

"Awesome. We should do that. Mar'i and I have a break coming up after finals are over. Maybe we can do that then," he says quickly, casting a quick, hopeful glance toward the raven-haired Tamaranean

"Sure, after the holidays start," Mar'i agrees. "Kara?"

"Hmm? Oh, I already said ye...Oh." Kara looked at Supergirl as realization hit her. "Right." She smiled sheepishly. "They, ah, meant you."

[x-superkara-x.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well..." Kara was ignoring a lot of the conversation, finally getting into the eating, and with a mouth full of food, she tries to get the words out. "Whenever really. I'm not at school, so I can go see anyone at any time." She gives a thumbs up, a smile that reveals a little too much of the contents of her mouth, and continues to eat.

"Great!" Grant replies with obvious enthusiasm.

"Like I said, I've been meaning to get up to Manhattan to talk to Flash and the others, but, well... things tend to get in the way in the heroing business."

Grant reaches forward and spoons some of the moussaka onto his plate, then settles back in his seat, taking a sip of wine and showing Mar'i a smile.

"Thanks for picking this all up, sweetheart," he says, gesturing with his fork.

"Oh, it was no trouble!" Mar'i assures him. "That Greek place does great suppers, and Christos was so nice about suggesting what we could have." She beams at their guests. "I don't cook very well myself," she confesses, "but I'm hoping to learn."

"Mmmwom-mwom-mwomm..." This is the first proper meal that Kara has had since jumping forward in time, and she has no complaints about the quality of the cooking.

[kara-zor-l.livejournal.com]

"Cooking's a bi...a pain." Kara smiles. Watching Kara eat, she raises an eyebrow. "Well, hey. We have our ginormous appetites in common too. How about that."

Making a big swallow, and subsequent burb, Kara then remembers where she is. "Oh, sorry... I've not really eaten in a decade..." She's about to go for more, but stops herself. "And normally I don't eat this much. You can probably tell that by my skinny waist." She smiles with a sense of pride, and drinks some more wine. It seems to be going to her head.

"You might want some water with that," Mar'i cautions her. "Unless Kryptonians don't get dehydrated like humans do?"

[x-superkara-x.livejournal.com]

"Hee hee... No! That's okay, I've only had two glasses..." She finishes the one she's drinking. "Three then." This is possibly the first time she's had alcohol. "Wow. It's a bit like being next to a small bit of red kryptonite, isn't it?" She starts floating out of her chair.

Mar'i floats to join her. "I think water from now on," she says, gesturing at Damage to clear away the wine bottle and glasses. "Or Soder Cola. Unless caffeine does angular things to your nerves."

[x-superkara-x.livejournal.com]

Kara can't take the smile from her face. "Nuke-cola is good, but sooo difficult to find. I've been to a planet where you use the bottle caps as currency!" She floats a bit higher, and puts her hands on Mar'i's hips. And then spins around. "Wheeee!!"

"Oh...sweet...Rao..." Kara stares at Kara. "Mar'i? See if you can move away from Supergirl for a minute. Please?"

[mari-grayson.livejournal.com]

"Uh--trying!" She tries to pull away, but that doesn't work, so instead she tries flying out of Supergirl's grasp.

Grant really isn't certain whether he should be alarmed or amused.

Then he remembers whose cousin this is and hopes against hope that Kal will never, ever hear about the time that Grant Emerson got Superman's underage cousin drunk.

"I'll... ah... go get some water... " he says, getting up from the table and heading toward the kitchen. And maybe some Tylenol...

"Ooh, I'm feeling tired..." Kara lets go of Mar'i and slumps back down into her chair. "Does wine usually work this fast?" She rests her eyes for a while. "Your boyfriend's really handsome, Mar'i..."

[kara-zor-l.livejournal.com]

Oh, look, what's this?

It's a small gust of arctic breath.

Coming from Kara's mouth.

"Snap out of it, sister," she said. "Kal finds out about this, and you'll more than likely be sentenced to Solitude in the Fortress for awhile." Not that she would know, considering her awkward relationship with this Earth's Kal-El, but still...

Oh, this better not come back and bite me in the ass.

Mar'i rubs her temple. "No more wine for her. Ever." She's glad she and Grant rarely buy it.
