[ Practicing his Kryptonian, ]

Kara, when are you planning to evacuate?

[mayarah]

[ it's such a bittersweet thing, seeing something in her own language. ]

I want to help where I can first. What about you?

[beknight]

I might go ahead.

[ Diana will probably want to stay to help with the evacuation. Bruce isn't of use here, he's better placed as a scout. ]

See what it's like there and send word what the conditions on the road are, as well as the destination.

[mayarah]

Promise you'll be careful?

[ he's human. kara knows just what humanity is capable of, how strong humans can be, but — she still worries. ]

[beknight]

[ The word has an unusual weight, doesn't it. He knows what promises are worth. What they mean said to someone wearing the S. ]

[ He wishes Clark wasn't asleep. She probably does too. ]

I'm always careful.

[mayarah]

[ she does. she wishes he were here, that she could talk to him. ask him what to do, too, because she's a little (a lot) lost. she wishes they could figure it out together.

there's only one person she wishes was awake even more, and that's her sister. ]

Good. [ it's not quite a promise. she'll take it. ] And you'll call if you need help?

[ maybe she worries too much. ]

[beknight]

[ not quite a promise either, but, ]

I know you'll be listening.

[ That she might know his heartbeat too occurs to him after the fact. Another day and his reaction might be modify the suit. Obscure his heat signature, muffle the rest of his body's biometrics. The world lives afraid of a Kryptonian's power. ]

[ Which is why he shouldn't be. Fear is his to use, not entertain. ]

[mayarah]

[ kara only wants to use her powers to help, for good. if he asked her not to listen, she would — or at least she'd try to honour that request.

she doesn't want anyone to be afraid of her. ]

What do you think of all this?

[beknight]

[ He thinks it's awfully convenient they all have to leave the city, but this doesn't feel like an act, not one of war. Factions, then, someone disgruntled striking out at both. ]

I think we need to focus on getting everyone out safely.

[mayarah]

We can do that.

[beknight]

Let me know the moment you've left.

[mayarah]

I will.
