'Hi,' he said. Wow, she was pretty. And she could fly - not by any means he could see, which meant there was more than met the eye and he was wary about that. 'What's your name?'

[notdreaming]

"I'm Kara." She smiled, clasping her hands behind her back. He seemed suspicious, but she was getting used to that. She was still just glad she could understand what everyone around her was saying.

"I haven't met many people who can fly too."

[imaginate]

'Nice to meet you, Kara.' He nearly added I can't fly it's the ring but you didn't just blurt that out at everybody you met. 'I'm Green Lantern. Well.. a Green Lantern.' with the implied the coolest one, really.

[notdreaming]

He said it like it was his name, and then like it wasn't his name. Was this another secret identity? Damian had explained to her how some names were inherited. Maybe 'Green Lantern' was one of them.

Well, why shouldn't she just ask?

"Are you a superhero?"

[imaginate]

'Yeah.' He pointed to the mask. 'Sorry, secret identity and all. You can call me GL, if you want.'

[notdreaming]

"Okay, GL," she tried. It didn't sound any stranger than 'Green Lantern'. Just shorter.

"It's nice to meet you. And welcome to Keeliai." She knew he was new - his voice was entirely unfamiliar.

[imaginate]

'Thanks - it's good to be here? Where're you from, anyway?'

[notdreaming]

"The city of Argo," she answered automatically. "On Krypton." If he even knew what that was. Well, it was worth a try, anyway.

[imaginate]

Krypton, like Superman. Which made her- 'Supergirl?'

[notdreaming]

Her smile faltered slightly. Another person who knew her. But surely not from her own universe. At least he didn't seem to know her well.

"Just Kara," she corrected, a touch sternly. She was no superhero.

[imaginate]

He'd said something wrong. The other one would have been fine with that name, and instinctively he tries to lighten the mood. 'Okay, Just Kara.'

[notdreaming]

Well now she felt awkward. They weren't exactly off to the best start, and so far all they had in common was flying.

"You must be from Earth." Clever deduction, Kara.

[imaginate]

'Yeah, I am - kinda.' She didn't seem to recognise the symbol or his codename, which was weird. Krypton was part of Guardian controlled space. He points to the logo of the Corps on his uniform. 'Do you recognise this?'

[notdreaming]

She frowned at it, then shook her head.

"No, I don't. What is it?"

[imaginate]

'It's - the Green Lantern Corps?' He looked at her quizzically. 'Krypton's in our part of the galaxy.' And then he felt guilty knowing how Tomar-Re must have felt not being able to prevent its fate, and bringing that up.

[notdreaming]

"So?" That didn't mean much of anything to her, and she didn't particularly like the look he was giving her.

[imaginate]

'Oh.. never mind then.' Rocky start, Rayner, take it easy. He waved at the rest of the sector around them. 'Do you live nearby here?'

[notdreaming]

"Everything is nearby here," she pointed out, only somewhat irritated at him. Mostly she was distrustful. He didn't know her personally, and he wasn't even from the same universe, but he knew of her. And he expected her to know of him.

"But no, I don't live in the Metal Sector."

[imaginate]

'Yeah, when we can leap tall buildings in a single bound, huh.' He cracked the joke before he even realised it and then tried not to feel embarrassed. She probably didn't even know what he meant. 'Where do you live?'

[notdreaming]

"Why..." she started, why would she have to leap? She was flying, wasn't she? But then her frown deepened.

"Why do you want to know?"

[imaginate]

He holds up both hands. 'Hey, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. I'm sorry about mixing you up with the Kara I know, that can't have been easy for you.'

[notdreaming]

"I'll accept your apology," she granted begrudgingly. "But I still have no reason to trust you, Green Lantern."

[imaginate]

His ring glowed and voila, he was holding a bouquet of roses with FOR KARA written on the note in English. 'Friends?' he added, with a smile.

[notdreaming]

She blinked at the bouquet. Flowers from Earth, she'd seen them before. And she'd often seem people exchanging them, so she assumed they were the flower of choice for gifts. But what did the note say?

"What does it say?"

'How did you do that' and 'what else can you make' were the next questions.

[imaginate]

'Oh.. uh--' He quickly changed the words to Kryptonian. Since they were a construct, that wasn't hard.
