Trying out a new muse.

[an_abomination]

Yeah, I'm sure there are going to be plenty of people who'd rather not see me around. Welcome to the story of my life. No one wants to tell me the truth and just about every girl I've met wants to kill me.

Maybe I should go back to setting Christmas trees on fire. People might have freaked out them but at least they didn't zoom away from me like I was the plague.

Who drops that kind of bomb on a guy and then leaves without answering a single question?

My name isn't Kon-El, it's Superboy. I want to know more about the clones and what "fate awaits me".

[She almost corrects him about the whole Kon-El thing and exactly what it means, but in the end she does not. She almost feels sorry for the clone after all, so she might as well humor it in this small thing.]

Fine, Superboy. What more do you need to know?

[As far as Kara is concerned, it's pretty cut and dry.]

[an_abomination]

[Kara, the real abomination here

is that thing

on your jaw.]

I want to know all that you about the other clones.

[kneewindows]

[Shut up.

Just... shut up.]

We've already talked about this. I've told you all you need to know.

[Might even be all she knows, not that she'd admit to such a thing.]

[an_abomination]

Thanks, that was real helpful.

[Frowns at her. He could try grabbing her again for more information but he's also sensed how powerful she is. She could easily break his hands and fingers.

Plus, they have some sort of connection. He doesn't want to make another enemy, he has enough of those.]

What can you tell me about you?

[kneewindows]

[She shoots him a dirty look, letting him know that his sarcasm certainly wasn't lost on her. However, she chooses to be the bigger person and ignore it... for now. Largely because she's not sure what will happen if they touch too often. Bad enough that he learned Kryptonian from her and Rao knows what else.]

About...me?

[Now that actually catches her for a loop. She's not sure what to make of that at all. It instantly puts her on her guard.]

Why do you want to know about me?

[All the suspicious looks.]

[an_abomination]

[Raises his brows at her, wondering what kind of response she expected when she's being so blunt and brash with him.

Nods his head at her question.]

Because you know all about me and the two of us have some sort of connection. Learning about you...will help me learn about myself. At least part of myself, anyway.

[kneewindows]

[She still doesn't trust him, but a little information couldn't hurt. Right?]

My name is Kara Zor-El of the house of El. I come from... [Kara stumbles here, a flicker of pain showing in her eyes before she shoves the emotion aside and continues on.] Came from the city of Argos on what was the planet Krypton.

[Her family, friends, people, and planet... they're all gone now after all.]

And you are a partial clone of the man who claims to be my cousin, Kal-El.

[an_abomination]

What was Krypton like? [But more importantly...] And Kal-El? It sounds like you don't believe him.

[kneewindows]

It was... home.

[Oh wait, that's not very helpful is it.]

It was beautiful, no place quite like it in the world.

[And now it's gone. It and all the people on it. She's now on the endangered species list. Hurray.]

Three days ago Kal-El was just a baby I was watching for my aunt and uncle. Now he's older than me? It just doesn't make sense.

[Seriously, can he blame her for not trusting Kal given the situation?]
