"What?" There is the look of shocked denial, and even a little slight.
Familiar lack of comparison. "No."

"They said it was because of--" The word me almost slips out. Almost. "--Supergirl." It's always a little strange to talk about herself in the third person, but after three years of having to for Cat, Snapper, Lena, and a small endless parade of passing people the pick up is easier. "That her heroism and idealism was what they'd founded their mission to keep peace on Earth and in the stars from."

It wasn't easy back home, but it didn't mean she wasn't listening.

He's more inclined to believe Kara over Bart. "Your cousin can't go five minutes without getting brainwashed because his 'mind is too human'. I'm sure that it is made in your image."

[kid_flash_found]

Only a slight narrowing of his eyes shows Bart caught the slip, and Savitar's lack of concern over secrets.

"It's a different world. I don't really know Kara Kent back home, other than she's not quite as unflappable as her cousin. I'd blame the time spent among the Amazons, since Cassie has some of the same anger issues."

[iamsupergirl]

Kara's still in the middle of making a face at Savitar that's baffled disbelief edging into a flash bright moment's almost anger for saying exactly what she didn't, who she was, that she was Supergirl, while he just dropped it out there with the annoyed aplomb of most of the rest of his words, when one of those random assorted details from Bart stops her, wrinkling her face more --

"Kent?" Like Clark?

Not that she had a single bad opinion of Matha or Jonathan,
But like she's been raised with the Kents, instead of the Danvers?

The idea was so foreign, and a life without Eliza, without Alex.
"That's not my last name. It's Danvers. Kara Danvers."

It had taken a long time to get used to, and
she was very attached to it now.

He would simply point out that if Bart really is from the future, it's unlikely that he doesn't know she's Supergirl. If he said anything at all and didn't just simply take the anger directed at him as yet another sign of Not Belonging Anywhere.

Yeah, he doesn't have issues at all. What gave anyone that idea?

"I'm increasingly sure you're making up things about your world, Bart Allen."

[kid_flash_found]

"I've never needed to lie, my life is already unbelievable," Bart deadpanned.

He didn't know what else to say. "Still, growing up without regular helpings of Ma Kent's famous apple pie? That seems almost tragic. Up there with missing out on Joan Garrick's butter tarts."

[iamsupergirl]

"It is good--" No one poo-poo's at that. Ma Kent's apple pie, and all that came with Apple Pie and the Kents and Clark Kent and Superman. "--but still not as good as Chocolate Pecan Pie."

Kara says it with unmitigated certainty, and the round of a smile, even shaking her head.
"Best dessert in the universe, and I've been to twelve planets, so I know dessert."

With a passed single Beat. Looking up. "Fourteen, if we're counting parallel ones now, too. Fifteen, if we count this. But it doesn't much seem like it could fully be called a world given the storm edges, does it?"

[vivifier]

"Well, don't ask me. I've never met any of these people." Could he possibly sound more bitter about something that can't possibly be changed other than through either time travel or some sort of magic? No, he could not.

"I do know, however, that chess pie is disgusting."

[kid_flash_found]

"Aunt Martha adopts strays. And not just the kind that land spacecraft in the back 40," Bart said, with a fond smile. "And you never know when you'll get the chance to meet some of these folks. Especially here."

He wants to do something to cheer up Grumpa. Because this is depressing.

"So, dishes, you guys find your hot-dog pizza and I make faces and eat the ordinary kind, and then...you know, there's a whole lot of history crammed in here, there's got to be something that will make you smile, Grumpa."

[iamsupergirl]

Kara's not entirely sure what Bart's talking about at the end, but she can go with the middle part. "I don't actually know where you can get either here yet, like I said at the beginning, but if you do you might as well lead the way?"

It's a little hopeful, and a touch uncertain.

[vivifier]

"You sure know a lot of people I've never heard of." He sighs.. "But yeah, lead the way." Or they can just go back to the Goodwill Savitar visited.
