So... this is a place between life, death, and dreaming, huh? Well, I guess I've heard of weirder things happening.

[ there's some shifting and fiddling before kara continues. randomly introducing herself to a network like this is a little awkward. ]

At least I've got some experience with the being trapped away from home thing. Alternate realities can be a huge pain in the ass like that. [ p...ause... ] In any case, is there anyone on this network that knows of a city called Metropolis? I figure if I'm going to be stuck here, I might as well see if there's anyone at least a little familiar around.

If you haven't heard of it, do you mind if I ask where you come from?

Is it one of the familiar megalomaniacal villains or a new one?

[ she looks amused as she sits. oh, lois. you are a badass. ]

New one, Megamind. From some place called Metrocity, or more likely Metro City. Bald, inflated opinion of himself, I suspect a fixation on reporters, nemesis is apparently called Metro Man.

[Yes. She knows how this sounds.]

Though I think he--Megamind--is an alien. And he's blue. Oh, and his 'thug in tights' [sounds so much like Lex, doesn't he?] apparently also wears glitter. So that's new.

... It's like parts of your life were mixed up a bit and then put them in a film directed by Paris Hilton.

[She laughs.] You're telling me. I've already told Clark to let me take this one. I don't think it'll get that... [dangerous, serious, whatever]

[ a beat ]

So I hear there's some time discrepancies with the people here.

Apparently. Conner-- he's not even Conner yet, I think.

[Beat.]

...Has-- Is Jonathan-- [If the answer is yes, Kara will finish it. If not... no need to say it.]

[Lois exhales slowly.]

Yeah. It wasn't-- that long ago. Clark is up north right now.

[skort]

Oh. [ she's surprised, and it shows in her ton and body language. ] That was a while ago for me.

[wherethestoryis]

[Dubiously] Do I want to know?

[skort]

[ a weak smile. ] Probably not.
