It might be becoming a little frustrating to be completely ignored, except that this really does seem like their thing. Even if she's getting the fact, easily, at this point, that it's not fair to either of them and both of them are being unfair to each other at the same time about it. Which, maybe, is obvious because she's not being involved in it and hasn't known any of it until right at this moment?

"Have either of you thought about, maybe--" She looks between them, as she finally heads toward the door and Bart there, to head out into the city. Because that whole plan hasn't changed in the slightest for her. "--trying to come to a compromise on this whole name calling thing?"

[vivifier]

He moves to follow Kara because apparently this 'shopping' thing is something that's happening, no matter what. Resistance is futile. "I already told Felicity and Ray that people can call me Sam. But I guess that's not good enough either."

[kid_flash_found]

"Grumpa Sam, sure," Bart agrees, going back to the previous topic as if nothing had gotten all emotional. He glances at Kara. "Tell me he's not totally a 'Grumpa?'"

He starts out, because, really, shopping can be fun. He remembered more than a few shopping trips with the Titans, the ones that didn't get interrupted by bad guys.

"And you want me to stop calling me that, pick something that reflects at least one major visible wavelength of light instead of absorbing it all."

[iamsupergirl]

Kara's not sure she has an opinion on that, which might show while she's following Bart out down the hallway and away from the barren apparent. He is more caustic than she quite knows what to do, and maybe that lends to grumpy-ish as a term, but she's, also, not there to joke about it or saddle someone she doesn't know with something as though she does. Especially not when it's incredibly clear he doesn't like it.

Instead, what she actually does is ask him. "Do you want me to call you that?"

Neither name has more or less value or placement in her world yet, and it is his name.

[vivifier]

If they think he's grumpy now, just wait. Just. Wait.

He doesn't say anything to Bart, but he does look to Kara. "Just don't call me Barry." Apparently, he'll give her more leeway than he'll give Bart or Barry or Joe West.

But she is Kara Danvers, after all. Not even he wants to upset her.

[kid_flash_found]

"We could go with Shirley. Or Late-for-Dinner," Bart suggests, teasing still.

[iamsupergirl]

He's going to take a little bit to adjust to, isn't he?
There's a sideways look toward Savitar-or-Sam at that.
Or. Well. Maybe they both are. This whole thing all around is.



She settles instead for something otherwise still important but not respect avoiding, from the one side near her in the hallways, or deeply unspecific, on the other side of her. "I think we should start at the Bath & Beyond over by the Windsor Castle."

[vivifier]

And he'll do a double take on that. "Sure. I mean, why wouldn't there be a home store by Windsor Castle?"

This world is definitely going to need adjustment.

[kid_flash_found]

"Have you seen my place? It's supposed to be in San Francisco Bay," Bart points out. "And I'm the only one there."

He shrugs a little. "I saw hot dog vendors on the Great Wall the other day."

[iamsupergirl]

"Oooh, hot dogs." Could she sound more interested?
Maybe not. "We should get something to eat, too."


It's been at least half an hour. It's totally time.

[vivifier]

"Pizza would be better." Than hot dogs, he means.

[kid_flash_found]

"Are you against hot dogs? What's wrong with you?" Bart had to ask. "They're a nice, portable snack. Pizza tends to be a little slippy sometimes. Especially New York pizza."

But yes, he's totally seconding the food. "I'm always hungry, just so you know."

[iamsupergirl]

"Or we could have both. And, me, too," Kara adds easily enough.
"I haven't really had time to look through all the restaurants yet."

She's usually pretty busy with the whole task of helping report on anything that looks like it's gone or come in from as high as anyone around here can get.

[vivifier]

Savitar pauses. "Hot dog stuffed crust pizza?" If that doesn't exist, he'll honestly be angry.

[kid_flash_found]

"That sounds disgusting," Bart said, making a face. "I never got the idea behind messing with pizza."

[iamsupergirl]

"It exists," Kara says, throwing the words over Bart toward Savitar. Or Sam. Or Savitar. That's going to have to be a thing she figures out. It gets a flicker of uncertainty wobbled in her smile, but the smile tries not to flag. Looking between the two of them. "On my Earth, at least. I don't know about here."

"I love pizza. It's one of my favorite foods." Reason to enough to have found the oddest and most interesting things people could do to pizza in a city sometimes. "They're bound to have something around here, right?"

[vivifier]

"We could get the kind with hamburger patties on it as a topping." Sorry Bart, but he kind of hopes you hate that too. He's...not entirely nice. SORRY.

[kid_flash_found]

"Meatballs are more likely to cook evenly, though," Bart points out, frowning. "It's, um, just not really worth it to me to mess with one of the best foods ever invented. Well, maybe when you do the white pizza or like a barbecue pizza. But trying to mix two perfectly good foods together just because you can? Ugh."

[iamsupergirl]

"They don't do that where you come from?"
Kara looks a little surprised, if more curious than that.

People on Earth seemed to find new combinations for everything that already worked all the time. There were always new variants and mixtures on things. New takes she'd never thought of. It was sometimes just as delightfully inspiring as it was exciting to never truly run out of new things to try on top of old favorites.

[vivifier]

"If your future doesn't look for new food combinations, I don't even know what to tell you." He gives Bart a strange look. "How do you find new things to eat."

[kid_flash_found]

"I didn't say they don't look for them. I just find most of them almost as unappetizing as my mom's cooking. The woman can make stuff come out of a replicator burnt," Bart said.

"The Legion especially is huge on trying to reinvent lost things from the 21st century."

[iamsupergirl]

That is a name she does recognize and if it sobers Kara's smile a little, it's not entirely.

"Were you part of The Legion?"

[vivifier]

Savitar has no idea who either of you are talking about. "I thought they were called Legends?"

[kid_flash_found]

"I'm not a member, but Jenni is, my cousin. And I have other friends on that team. I haven't seen them in a while, though. Not since Brainy screwed up and had to get me and Kon to the future to...never mind." On second thought, mentioning Superboy-Prime and his death and Conner Kent would probably be really a bad thing.

"It's more that they're from my birth-time, for all that I've spent more in this century."

[iamsupergirl]

He does have a tendency to just skip things, or choose convenient half answeres, doesn't he? Kara can easily field the question though as they are walking, but she starts wondering if it's just a continuation on everything he's already shown as his choices in all of this, slights and overabundant reactions with no fair sympathy, or if it's just his age.

"The Legends are from here and now, and your Earth, and The Legions are from the future. We've been working with them back home recently." Sort of. Not exactly working. Working was the wrong term. Finding them in stasis. Finding Mon-El. Finding Mon-El's wife.

Working on figuring out how to even start to go forward working with that.
