Kara.

[Her correction is that particular mix of fond and curt as she bounds after Damian. She's been...watching him. He's fighting as well as ever but he's clearly upset.

Of course he is.

Her concern immediately extends to Kara, once she gets a good look.]

He's - right, though.

[notdreaming]

I'm going as fast as I can.

[ But she's tired and scared, and she can't really deal with criticism right now on account of all the zombies.

Some part of her still registers that she should be worried about them too - zombies are serious business and they don't have any superpowers. ]

Are you two alright?

[demon_brat]

No names in costume, Batgirl.

[Oh, Damian is in fine shape, here.]

And I am fine.

[At least... he's unhurt. But he also gives Cassandra a frown. Something is not right.]

[wholenewstory]

[Her mouth tightens, just slightly - she's not using that name, even now, that's Stephanie's name - but she just shakes her head.]

Not trying to - um. Criticize.

[She saw the defensiveness flare at their words.]

Just...worried. [A slight, strained smile.] That's...what friends do.

[notdreaming]

Don't be. I'm- [ Her laser vision sputters, like a light with a faulty circuit. ] I'm fine.

Just... just tired. [ Which isn't normal, and in the middle of a fight is kind of terrifying. She didn't think she could get tired. She stumbles as she turns to blast a zombie that was getting just a little too close. She should - no, she has to talk to Kal. ]

[demon_brat]

[... and this is where Damian takes the cue. And starts working fast at shoving zombies and zombie pieces at the ones already burning. And... yes. Fast.]

[After the second one, he tosses over his shoulder at Cassandra.]

Her powers need sunlight.

[And there has been none of that for days, now.]

[wholenewstory]

[Cass takes a more defensive stance, shifting close to Kara and striking at any creature that gets in range.

Her eyes widen as Damian's words sink in, and she turns to Kara with a determined gaze.]

Shouldn't be out here.

[notdreaming]

Kal has... something...

[ She's just so tired. She can't think of the word, she can barely register what they're saying. Suddenly her laser vision stops and she blinks, looks down at her hands, but her x-ray vision isn't working either. Darkness creeps in the edges of her vision and her hands drop along with the rest of her. ]

[demon_brat]

[Damian looks over at Cassandra, but then Kara drops, and he moves automatically, taking as much of her weight as he can (either because of distance or because of, well, his sister probably doing the same). If nothing else, he makes sure the blond head doesn't crash into the tile.]

Do you think he'd come if we just called? Or get her to a place with a console?

[wholenewstory]

[Cass moves at the same moment, supporting Kara from the other side.] Might be busy. Could - distract him at a bad time.

Think we can - get her to safety. And contact him there.

[She nods towards the zombies lurching towards them from the distance.]

I...can carry her. You can clear the way.
