DC: 2011-08-06 - Tamaranean Tussle - Take 2 - Cat Hoarding and Finger Knockouts

Kara Zor-El comes back from the Fortress of Solitude where she put the manacles for safekeeping. "Okay... very hunky guy." she says to herself. Never mind that the girl herself is outrageously model-sexy. She shakes her head as she approaches Titan Tower, trying to think up an apology for the way she was acting so rude by zooming out of there. Nope... she's got nothin. She lands on the roof and looks around, thinking of what to do with her spare time. On the way back from the Fortress she already stopped 3 bank robberies, saved a schoolbus from going over a cliff, rescued a nuclear submarine which had lost control of its ballast in the bering straits, and gotten a cat down from a tree. Maybe watch some TV.... maybe look in the newspaper for some sort of regular job to make some spending cash. She also considers calling Stephanie to see if she'd like to see another movie or something.

The sounds of mewling and cat calling can be heard coming in the ship as the ship door was shut. When she arrives the door opens and what comes out could only be described as a horde of cats which mewl and wander around, about twenty maybe even thirty ranging from grown up cats to kittens which Solarflare seems to be trying to feed them.

Kara Zor-El blinks as the horde of cats comes streaming out of the ship. "What ...the....." She just blinks again. Did... Solarflare just become Crazy Cat Lady?

Solarflare looked up and gestured to them. "They were alone...and no home." He says as he nods, as if using her reason. "So I helped, gave them a home." Solarflare says, as if proud of his achievement. "I dont think Ditto can take care of them all and I got room in my ship, so here I was." He says with another nod, looking to her. If she noticed, she may notice a ratty looking belt keeping his pants and sash up.

Kara Zor-El smiles a little, then a lot. "Okay... you're adorable." She watches the cats purr around, rubbing up against her legs. "Did you do that because you saw I like cats?" She thinks to herself, a bit grateful he didnt know she had spent a day in Africa last week playing with lions.

"Well, I like them now too, but I was inspired by you, yes." Solarflare says with a smile and nod. He would sit crosslegged in mid air and a few cats leap into his lap as he floats out to her, food bowls put down along him with one on his lap as they ate and purred. Some growled but he would mutter at them in Tamaranean.

Kara Zor-El picks up one of the kittens to skritch behind its ears before putting it down to let it eat with the others.

Solarflare smiles and nods. "I am glad." He says as he watches her. "You have a very nice smile and yeah I like seeing you smile." He says with nod and a smile of his own as pets the cats, scratching their ears gently. "It was the least I could do, since you helped me with so much already. Plus they make happy purring sounds when fed." He says as he pets them.

Kara Zor-El nods. "They really do, don't they?" She pauses. "Um... what are you feeding them?" she asks curiously, looking at the food in the bowls. How does a 7 1/2 foot Tamaranean who's never been to Earth before buy cat food?

Solarflare seems to be feeding them garbage from resturants. "The cats really liked the food in the outside bins but I didnt like how they had them so spread out, plus I saw all those metal mini ships trying to hit them. So I gathered up the food from the bins, and brought it here with them." He says with a nod.

Kara Zor-El grins a bit and floats over to you. "Thanks ... that really -does- make me smile." She gives Solarflare a kiss on the cheek.

Solarflare nods and when she kisses his cheek, his orange skin actually becomes somewhat darker along his face. "Thanks..." He says softly as he seems to look at her differently then normal as if noticing something about her but he just watches her with a smile.

Kara Zor-El fidgets. "So..... what were you planning on doing today? I'm sorry for running out on you at Ditto's place like that. I just uh.... had to get those manacles out of there before they hurt him or Streaky." Kara Zor-El nods to herself. Good one Kara!

Solarflare actually believes her, because to him, those manacles are evil. "I dont know. I tried fixing my ship but so far it doesnt seem to be working." As he looks inside. He picks up a empty bowl and hurls it at the computer which talks calmly in english. "We are sorry but to access main functions of this module, please say the Clanarian password." He then looks to her.

Kara says, "Well... I could try working on it if you want but... what are you trying to fix with it?"

"To make it respond. At the moment all it tells me is I need to say the password in clanarian to activate it. I dont even know the password." Solarflare says as he watches her. "I dont know if you can get around it or not, Clanarians love interweaving various races tech to their own." He says as he watches her.

Kara may make actual progress in it. Solarflare's way of 'working' on it was to beat on it.

Kara Zor-El examines the ship. "I mean... to what end? You want to make it respond so you can do what with it?"

Wonder Girl has arrived.

"I dont know if the tracking beacon in it is still active or if it got damaged in the crash. Not to mention it would be useful to use in the event of emergencies." Solarflare says. They were on the roof and if anyone were to come up there, they would be greeted by twenty to thirty cats, ranging from kittens to adult cats, mewling and wandering about.

 Wonder Girl looks around for Selina.  Solarflare nodnods, saw supergirl save a cat, and so he tried it, found multiple cats throughout the city  Kara Zor-El adopted Streaky :) and Solar took it to the next level

Kara Zor-El is busy examining Solarflare's ship. She uses some heat vision to open a panel carefully.

Nightwing has arrived.

It's post movie-and-dinner-outing for Wonder Girl who has already dropped Slobo off at the base of the tower, allowing him to do his thing while she floats up to the roof after hearing voices from above. And mewing. Lots of mewing. "Oh... hi." She looks at Supergirl and then to the stranger, the latter geting a brow arched at. "Hmmm. Another new face," she says, that mostly to herself.

With a bing, Nightwing frowningly steps off the Titans Elevator (tm) and onto the roof. He peers at the strange spaceship sitting next to the satellite dish and then looks down at the cats. He looks surprised at the appearance of the friendly cats as they brush against Nightwing's legs, "Okay, what's going on?" he asks confusedly.

Solarflare watches her, setting the cats from his lap as he floats closer to her. He leans over Kara as if trying to learn what she was doing before the voice brings him back. Seeing others causes him to stand now, bare feet touching the roof as his hands form into fists almost instantly as he watches them, green eyes looking between the other blonde but the man in the bodysuit gets his gaze. What smile he had was gone, expression completely calm with his muscles tense.

Kara Zor-El concentrates a microscopic beam of heat vision at a relay in the open panel. "Okay um... I can't figure out how to make the computer respond to that password, so I just disabled that entire protocol. I think it may have disabled any beacons as well." She turns. "Oh... Hi Nightwing." She pauses. "Cassie?" she asks, recognizing her from when she was training on Themascyria. "Hi there!"

Kara Zor-El pauses. "We met on Themascyria remember? Superman's cousin... Diana and Artemis were training me?"

Nightwing walks to the side of Supergirl and puts his hands on his hips observantly. He looks over the strange spaceship parked on his roof and doesn't say anything about her work on it. He merely crosses his arms stoically and looks at Solarflare now, "This is your spaceship?" he asks.

"Yeah, I remember you," she says although there's a slight tilt of Cassie's head, that being when she watches the... guy. "Who is he. And why all the cats?" As Nightwing approaches and starts asking questions she simply falls quiet, letting him ask the questions.

"Stole it when I made my escape from my former masters. I wouldnt suggest returning it, unless you do enjoy being a slave." Solarflare says calmly. Whatever ease he had felt before seemed to vanish at the presence of the other two. He wasnt being aggressive but he was very tense and wary. "I found them...I didnt want them hurt, so I brought them to my ship." Solarflare answers about the cats as he watches them both, beginning to walk closer to them now, slowly.

Kara Zor-El pauses. "Um... long story. I rescued a cat back and he's staying at a friend's apartment in Metropolis. Solarflare here's a Tamaranean. He's some sort of Tamaranean who was captured by this other alien race, and I guess escaped in this ship of theirs and crashed in Metropolis... and... I guess he saw how much I like cats and how calming they were with the purring and...." she just motions at the cats and shrugs. "It's not my fault." She adds, "Starfire confirmed that a Tamaranean ship was comandeered some time ago and some Tamaraneans had been enslaved so I.... sorta brought him here since Starfire's the only Tamaranean I know of. Anywhere."

Kara's in civvies right now, not her supergirl outfit. Solarflare is in baggy torn pants and a torn kilt-like sash and no shirt.

"Yeah, I see that he's a Tamaranean," Nightwing comments with unanswered questions. He glances at Wonder Girl to see if she has any insight into this strange appearance. He looks at Kara again, "I don't really know much about space traveling or being captured by aliens. Well, not real ones anyway," he comments, then looks at Solarflare, "But any friend of Starfire deserves our help," he says with some comforting ease, "I'm Nightwing," he tells him, motioning to himself.

"Not to be a downer or anything, but do you think it's a good idea to bring strangers here?" Cassie looks at Solarflare and manages a faint smile. "No offense but we do have to be careful, after all. Can never be too safe." Catching Nightwing's look, she merely shakes her head. She hasn't a foggiest idea, really.

Kara Zor-El offers, "That's why I brought him here actually. To confirm that his story checked out with Starfire. What should I have done, he was causing a panic in Metropolis until I stopped him. She places the panel back on the ship and uses heat vision to solder it back in place, then flies over to the others on the roof, landing lightly on her feet, putting her hands in her pockets a bit.

"If my being here is a hinderance, I will leave. I came to this world because it was the only closest habitable the computer could find." He says calmly to them as he watches the two now. Solarflare then looks to Kara, his expression lightening up when his gaze returns to her. "With your fixing it, I should be able to access it's systems." He says as he floats into the ship, the inside could be seen as he moves to the end, pushing on the panel for the clear window to light up with symbols and alien language.

Nightwing leans forward and looks into the ship like a curious boy, "He needs help, Wonder Girl. I don't care who he is. We can't just turn him away," he tells her, "But...I'm not sure about a spaceship on our roof. This whole ship makes me uneasy. Say pal, this ship isn't dangerous, is it?" he asks.

"Weapon systems are offline at the moment, havent turned it on. According to Tak'yeon, Clanarians, my former masters, are creatures of fads. When this ship was design, mental link technology was recently the fad." He says as he places a hand on the console and then the ship shuts down, atleast the screen loses power and the symbols. "It

She pauses a moment, changing the subject as she asks, "Have you seen Diana lately? I havent heard from her since Kal .... er... Superman went into space on that mission. I was thinking I could use some advice from her."

Nightwing hrms and comments, "This thing will take up most of the garage. But I guess that's the best place for it. Hopefully, no one else has spotted it," he states, thinking of the big picture more than the others. "Don't you go taking people around in space, Supergirl," he advises, wondering if she can even do that.

"Weapon systems are offline at the moment, havent turned it on. According to Tak'yeon, Clanarians, my former masters, are creatures of fads. When this ship was design, mental link technology was recently the fad." He says as he places a hand on the console and then the ship shuts down, atleast the screen loses power and the symbols.

"It is an escape pod, but it was designed to work as a independant ship should the main ship become destroyed or non-functional. I was taught basic use in the off chance my masters were injured and I had to pilot. However, the ship demanded a clanarian to say keywords to allow me functions, a safety measure which Kara has removed." He says calmly. "You said you were Nightwing? I was called Solarflare by my former masters, it is the closest thing to a name I have.

"We don't have room but it's the only place... I'll head down and start reorganizing what we have in there now." She grins and then Wonder Girl's flying off, letting Kara and the others do whatever with the ship while she carefully starts moving the vehicles that are already in there.

Kara Zor-El flies up after Cassie, getting in her way for a moment. "Um.... would you be able to talk a little later?" She shrugs. "Hang out" she says, testing out some more slang. Nightwing gives a nod to Solarflare, "Nice to meet ya," he comment, "I'm going to check the monitor and see if anyone has spotted the spaceship. Supergirl will hook you up with a keycard and a place to stay. Do you know how to do that, Supergirl?" he asks.

Solarflare nods. "Nice to meet you." He says as he would look to Nightwing then look to the two blondes. "I guess I could get rid of the ship if there is no room. As I said, I dont want to be a hinderance." He says calmly as he watches them.

That surprises Cassie some but she nods and actually smiles. "Sure. No problem. We could hang out here or go out sometime." The mention of keycard has her looking back to Nightwing but she doesn't comment, once more allowing him to do his thing. That includes being the one to decide if the ship stays or not. She's back to heading towards the garage, trying to figure out the room thing.

Kara Zor-El smiles when Cassie says that. "Great..." She then flies back down to the roof. "Um... before I move the ship.... are the cats going in it too?" She look at Solar and Nightwing. "It's probably not safe for them to all be up here on the roof and stuff. Long way down."

Nightwing gives a nod to Kara, "I'll get you a keycard to a room you can stay in, Solarflare," he explains.

Wonder Girl has left.

Kara Zor-El ushers the cats back in the ship and closes the door afterwards. She lands on the roof again. "Okay um... I guess I'll just move it down to the garage. Saying that, she kneels down, putting her hands under the ship to grip it firmly and lifts it overhead. The ship weights maybe around 90 tons.... possibly a little more, but it doesn't really seem to be a problem for the Kryptonian girl (obviously, since she did carry it here from Metropolis). "Okay I'll.. catch up with you guys inside when I put this in the garage?"

Nightwing looks at Kara amazingly as she hefts the ship, "Got that...?" he asks.

Kara Zor-El looks back at Nightwing, a bit confused. "Got what?"

Solarflare watches the woman as she hefts it and it was that look of amazement again as he smiles at her. "She has it." He says with a smile at the girl before his attention turns back to Nightwing, tilting his head as his calm expression returns. "Are you one with incredibly powerful abilities too?" He asks curiously, watching the masked man.

Nightwing waves Supergirl off amusedly, "Nothing, nothing," he comments. He glances at Solarflare, "Incredible powers? Afraid not. But I think Supergirl's strength puts everyone to shame."

Kara Zor-El looks up at the ship she's holding overhead, then uses one of her hands to point to it, meaning she's holding the ship overhead with one hand, "Ohh... you mean this. Yeah I'm fine - thanks for asking" She flies up with it then heads down towards the garage area, being particularly careful to keep the ship steady because of all the cats and kittens inside." As she does so she says a bit loudly, "I can hear you guys, don't make me blush k?" before she heads down all the way.

"She definatly possesses qualities rivaling gods...Beauty, strength and intelligence. She is what I believe perfection is." He says calmly as he looks over the edge a moment before looking back to the man. "I sparred with her and learned about how weak I was. I have many mistakes to correct before I can become of much use." He says calmly.

Nightwing listens to the Supergirl glorifying and the tales of the weak, then gives a simple nod like a knowing professor, "Don't be so hard on yourself, pal. There isn't many that can go toe to toe with Supergirl. /That/ wouldn't be a good strategy. A hero's got to have other things at their disposal besides strength," he explains to Solarflare, "But you're right about one thing, she is beautiful."

Kara Zor-El sets the ship down in the garage. It takes up a huge amount of space but still it's manageable. Kara moves aside some of the cars and other vehicles, even though Cassie had already done a pretty good job of that already. Job done, she pats her hands then flies up to meet the boys in the common area.

Solarflare nods as he would watch him. "I see. Forgive me if I am out of place..." He says as he gestures to the doorway. "May we go inside?" He asks the man wearing the mask, watching his reaction.

You enter Common Room - Titans Tower - San Francisco. Nightwing enters Common Room - Titans Tower - San Francisco from Residential Hall - Titans Solarflare enters Common Room - Titans Tower - San Francisco from Residential Hall - Titans

Kara Zor-El knocks politely on the window from outside.

Nightwing opens the window and motions Kara inside.

Kara Zor-El flies in. "Really need some sort of way to open that from outside." She lands lightly on the floor. "So... ship's in the garage.... either of you feel like doing anything?"

Solarflare follows and when Kara asks what to do, he shrugs. "I dont know anything to do other then fight and train." He says with a shrug. He would then look to Nightwing to see what the man would suggest.

Nightwing hmms, "Well, how about read? Or use the computer? Or maybe Kara needs to go shopping," he suggests with a chuckle, "Starfire likes swimming in the pool," he suggests with some absent thoughts of her.

Kara Zor-El pauses. "Yes, lets all read together" she says in a dry, monotone voice. "That will be fun." She crosses her arms. "I could definitely shop, but i just spent the last of the money Kal gave me on cat food and kitty litter for Streaky." She pauses. "That cat I was talking about earlier. He has this streak on his side so I named him Streaky. Nice huh?"

Nightwing gives a furrow of concern to Supergirl, "Keep the cats in one area..." he suggests with thoughts of cat smell. "I may be nice, but I'm not giving you money for shopping, Supergirl. You'll have to figure out what to do with mister new over here. I got to finish some work."

"Kal?" Solarflare asks as he shrugs before chuckling nervously. "I dont know how to read...or swim...My Education was highly centered around killing and maiming..." He says with a bit of a chuckle. "I saw people throwing metal circles in a small pool of water..." He offers.

Kara Zor-El looks over at Solarflare. "Kal. Kal-El, he's my cousin - he's on this planet too." She pauses. "He's sort of the only other Kryptonian left, actually." She fidgets a bit, looking at Nightwing. "Kal told you about my shopping.... habit huh. I can build an air filtration system for the smell, by the way." She then looks over at Solarflare. "Well I could show you how to do any of those things if you want, I mean.... I guess we could spar again if you want also." She doesnt really respond to the thing about metal discs being thrown in the water though - not like she knows the metal discs are coins.

Nightwing walks toward the monitor room and looks sidelong at Kara as he goes, "He's not learning anything by getting beat up, Supergirl," he advises. He walks off.

Kara Zor-El watches Nightwing walk off, then sticks her tongue out at him a bit while his back is turned.

"Can learn quite a bit." Solarflare says as he would then look to her. "If you wish to spar, we can." He says as he would then look to her sticking her tongue out at Nightwing and then just watches Nightwing. "She helped removed my manacles so I am willing to let her beat me up, though she ran off quite quickly when she removed the belt..."

Kara Zor-El pipes up, "Okay then! Sparring or swimming? Which do you prefer?"

"I dont know how to swim. so sparring." Solarflare says as he stands and watches her, smiling at her as he seemed more comfortable with her then anyone else.

Kara Zor-El nods. "all right then.... but same rules as before, none of that fighting until you're unconscious stuff okay?"

Kara Zor-El smiles and pats you on the arm. "And I promise I won't be such a downer this time."

"I rather you dont hold back but considering I couldnt do anything while you were pulling your punches, I will go with your judgement." Solarflare says as he feels her pat his arm and offers to help her up should she wish. "I can understand if you dont like to spar, we can do more...what is the proper term for the beings of this word...hooman things."

Kara Zor-El looks at you as the two of you head to the elevator. "Um... I wasnt holding back" she lies, trying to spare his feelings. "Okay I was holding back a little bit" She's.... not a particularly good liar. It's rather obvious.

"There is no need to lie to me, Kara." Solarflare says as he moves a hand to rub her shoulder should she let him. "I like doing alot of things I am willing to wager you will not enjoy in the slightest." He says to her as he tries to make her feel better.

Kara Zor-El smiles a bit. "Okay... I was holding back a lot. But trust me, you don't want me using my full strength."

"Not even once?" Solarflare asks as he moves behind her to rub both shoulders now, even though she really can resist anything he does to her so this was really a lost cause but he was trying to make her keep smiling. "I will try to figure out a way to make money for you to spend." He says to her calmly.

Kara Zor-El looks at you. "If I do once, promise not to ask me again right? I'd be fine with sparring with you whenever you want though." She smiles as Solar rubs her shoulders. Feels really nice. Sure she's invulnerable but that doesn't mean it's not relaxing. "Fine. Okay. I won't hold back... just this once."

Solarflare enters Gym - Titans Tower - San Francisco

Kara Zor-El talks over to the arena. "Okay um.... I'm going to turn up the force fields and dampening fields around the arena if you're wanting me to use full strength. I don't want um....." she murmurs something in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Solarflare says as he notices her talking into a low voice. He would then actually kneel to be face level to her, looking into her eyes. "How about you hold back, no need to go all out alright?" He says in a soft comforting tone, moving his hands to rub her shoulders, maintaining eye contact as he spoke. "It makes you uncomfortable, and makes your smile fade..." He says softly.

Kara Zor-El rolls her eyes and says a bit louder. "I don't want the building coming down if I punch too hard." She smiles a bit. "I'll try to not hold back that much, just this once. Just so you understand why I do hold back normally, okay?"

"Your..." Solarflare says as the reliazation hits him if she wasnt kidding and stands. He looked amazed at her. "Is there anything you cannot do, Kara Zor-El?" He says with genuine amazement in his voice as he watches her.

Kara Zor-El nods. "There's plenty I can't do. Like I said, I'm not some sort of goddess." she says as she enters the arena after setting the controls at maximum.

Not a goddess - Could have fooled him.

"So far you havent proven me wrong about being a goddess, Kara." Solarflare says with a bit of a chuckle. He begins to push his solar reserves to his endurance, watching her with a smile. "Kara, I dont hinder you do I?" He asks with a sincere tone.

Kara Zor-El turns around and looks at the Tamaranean curiously. "I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Hinder me?"

"Your capable of taking on any threat. Your incredibly intelligent and beautiful. If I tried to help you in a fight, I worry of being in your way then actually helping." He says calmly. "How do you turn the things on you said need to be on?"

Kara Zor-El shakes her head. "Look, I'm not all powerful. I also can't be everywhere at once. Even me and my cousin together can't. And there are plenty of things that -can- hurt me. Just because I'm on the team doesn't mean I'm going to be doing it all on my own."

Solarflare nods as he watches her. "Then I will keep those things that can hurt you away." He says with a nod. "If you will let me." He says as he smiles at the woman, watching her.

Kara Zor-El grins. "I'd appreciate that." She stands there. "Okay now... one last time, you're -sure- you don't want me to hold back... just this once

"I am curious but seeing your concern makes me want to stop to keep you from regreting what happens when you do." Solarflare says with a nod as he watches her, moving into a stance like before, readying himself as he watches her. "I am ready."

Kara Zor-El nods a little. "Would you like to me to go first, or do you want a chance?"

"Whichever your comfortable with." He says as he watches her, looking into her blue eyes with his own green eyes. Solarflare then nods to her as he watches and waits.

Kara Zor-El nods a little. "You can have a chance." She crosses her arms. She's not even trying to have an attack posture at this point. "It'll be more effective in explaining why I hold back."

Solarflare nods as he watches her. "Ready?" He asks as he watches her, waiting for her answer as he begins to mentally sort out his abilities as he waits

Kara Zor-El nods a bit. "Yep... ready." She taps her foot a bit and smiles. "Um... your people heal fast right?"

"I always seemed to." Solarflare says as he would run at her, using only his races norm strength and speed to try and punch her in the face, and for the first time there was an actual single half second of hesitation as he sends the blow to her.

Kara Zor-El quickly brings up her hand to catch his fist, again stopping it mind-jarringly fast from moving with laughable ease. She then brings up her other hand, holding her third finger (the ring finger - choosing not to use the pinky instead) and thumb together..... then flicks her ring-finger at his face, letting go of the Tamaranean's fist as she does so.

Think of the hardest thing that's ever hit Solarflare. Then magnify it by 100. That would be a low approximation of how hard the impact feels. Oddly enough, despite it being such a small area that she hits, the force is not concentrated on that one area (fortunately) - rather it seems to be spread throughout his entire body somehow. Nevertheless, the impact is enough to have Solarflare go flying backwards at incredible speed until he hits the force field... which does still cause the room to shake despite it all. Fortunately the 7 and a half foot musclebound alien warrior ex-slave is already unconscious after being struck by the young blonde girl's single finger.

5 hours later ...

Solarflare groans as he opens his eyes, slowly, barely as it felt like his entire body ached down to the very atoms, even felt pain in places he didnt think he could feel pain. He would look around to see where she had gone, eyes opening wider as he looks around. "Kara?" He calls softly.

Kara Zor-El frowns. "I am so not doing that ever again!"

Solarflare groans as he tries to turn over to face her, groaning loudly as he moves an arm to touch where he could reach, rubbing her leg as he smiles at her. "Kara...I have made a discovery...Your so not doing that again." He says with a chuckle.

Kara Zor-El wipes her eyes a bit with her hand. She tries to smile but really can't bring herself to. "I have a confession...."

Solarflare smiles as he moves closer, actually raising up slowly to try and sit upright. "I know your not a goddess. Your real, That is the only difference." He says with a chuckle as he tries to sit upright.

Kara Zor-El takes a damp cloth that she's apparently been using to tend to your face during the several hours you've been out cold. "Also held back just a little bit with that too." She puts a little more bactine on the cloth then dabs your face again.

"I dont need to know your true strength." He mutters as if the idea of it did bring pain. "I think I will never ask for you to use your full strength against me." He mutters as he just sorta lays over her now, using her for a support to lean against, face on her shoulder. "Despite you being stronger then I possibly can be, I wont let anything hurt you." He says to her shoulder.

Kara Zor-El pauses. "okay so I'm guessing now you understand why it's very important for me to hold back, and why I don't let Ditto touch me, right? It's very, very easy to let loose and cause a whole lot of damage without even really trying." She bites her lip. "It's nice to have people watching out for me, thanks."

Solarflare nods as he groans a bit. "Something bothers you?" He asks as he notices her bite her lip, geen eyes looking up at her as he tries to move off, sitting upright.

Kara Zor-El crosses her arms. "Seriously why to friends ask me if something is bothering me after I've wound up beating them unconscious. Of course it bothers me."

Solarflare nods as he moves both hands to her shoulders. "Stop the room spinning so I can try and cheer you up." he says as he tries to make a joke and makes eye contact. "Kara, I asked for it. The only one here to blame was me." He says as he leans his forehead against hers should she let him bringing his face close to hers. "I dont blame you, so you shouldnt either." He whispers.

Kara Zor-El pauses. "I don't blame myself. I'd just like to, for a change, if I'm sparring do so where I hold back enough without challenging someone's manhood to the point that they want me to hit harder than is safe for them." She makes a weak smile. "Seriously... next time we spar, I am totally holding back. No offense okay? I promise I'll make sure it's still a good workout."

"None taken. Considering the pain I put you through, I intend to spend a week doing things you greatly enjoy." He says as he keeps eye contact and smiles at her weak smile. "Smile bigger." He says as he playfully raises his hands. "Or I will do what Tak'yeon would do to make me smile and tickle you." He says with a nod. "Always did tickle me as a kid to make me laugh, especially when I would get depressed at my losses.

Kara Zor-El looks at him, then murmurs, "Really need to not tempt me." then shakes her head.

"What do you mean not tempt you? I want you to be happy, happiest ever. If I can do that, then it would make me feel greater then winning any spar with you." He says with a nod. "You are close to me." He says as he begins to move away from her to sit upright, hands resting in his lap.

Kara Zor-El pauses. "You like me don't you. This fighting stuff, it's because you like me and some sort of conan red sonja thing?" The girl watches way too many movies

Kara Zor-El sits back against the wall next to you and leans by you. "Just trying to be honest here about something."

"Do you like me?" Solarflare asks "This is the only way I know to get to know someone, to spend time with someone, and know how they are. By fighting them, I know how to aid them best when they need me most, when their lives are threatened." He says calmly

Kara Zor-El nods. "I like you. I do.... you're like... noble and polite... when you're not trashing police cars and helicopters.... and lets face it you're not bad to look at. But... there's this guy.."

"I am not going to stand between you and others." Solarflare says without hearing more but he doesnt move, letting her lean against him. "You deserve the best. Better then me." He says calmly with a nod as he gives a smile. "Maybe something not so flimsy as me, eh?"

Kara Zor-El pauses. "Actually he's flimsier... er.... okay I shouldnt say that. he's a human being though."

Kara Zor-El fidgets a bit. "But i'm not sure if he's willing to be with me like that... he has a girlfriend you see."

Kara Zor-El leans against you. "And she's even a nice person. I like her. I'd like to be her friend and everything. And she sorta seems resigned to the idea that he's going to break up with her and pursue me, but I'm pretty sure he doesnt want to break up with her, but he also says he's really attracted to me and wants to be with me, but doesnt know what to do...yknow what I mean?"

"You deserve the best." Solarflare says as he nods, grunting a bit. "Your beautiful, and smart. Your strong and special. You deserve the best and he sounds better then me." He says with a nod.

Kara Zor-El brings her knees up to her chest and holds them with her arms. "It's not a competition. He's not better or worse than you. I'm just saying I'm not... really sure where I am with him and don't want to do anything to mess it up until I know for sure. Because believe me.... you are.... really.... reallyreallyrealy...really good." She takes a deep breath. "REALLY good. I'm just trying to do something that makes me feel more normal though. I don't know..."

Solarflare smile as he moves his hands to her shoulders to rub her shoulders. "If it isnt no competition, then, why be so worried? Nothing you do can ruin anything with me. If you become his new woman, then we still remain close." He says as he rubs her shoulders. "So there is nothing to worry about. Take time, think about it, wait." He says calmly.

Kara Zor-El pauses. I'm sorry for beating you unsconscious with my finger by the way."

"And I am sorry I made you cry." Solarflare says as he hugs her, smiling as he held her. "You will always be close to me, however you wish to be." He says calmly to her.

Kara Zor-El lets Solar hug her. "I wonder if all Tamaraneans are so prone to becoming quickly affectionate with others. I mean... just a day or two ago you were running through Metropolis and I had to hold you and threaten to break your arms with that hold... now we're all nice like this." She smiles a bit, riping the last of the tears away. "It's actually nice to see someone able to quickly change their opinions of another person."

"I dont know. But thus far you have been nothing but kind to me. So I am trying to be kind back." Solarflare says with a nod as he would go to stand, or try to once he released her from the hug, groaning a bit. "Besides, could be your pretty." He says jokingly as if trying to make her smile.

Kara Zor-El giggles a bit, despite being upset at hurting yet another new friend of hers physically. "Yeah. That would explain why every other guy I meet seems to start trying to get me to be with them, actually. And why I can hear their heartbeats start racing when they're looking at me." She shrugs a bit. "It didnt really occur to me at first, to be honest. I mean most of the first few months I was on Earth, I either spent at my cousin's Fortress of Solitude, with Batman, who's.... er... not exactly the sort of person who gets attracted to anyone, I guess...., on an island full of pretty female warriors, or brainwashed into being evil on Apokolips. Doesn't exactly let me be that observant about guys being attracted to me as more than a weapon or something."

Perhaps something she may notice is his lack of increased heartbeat whenever he is looking to her, but there is amazement in his eyes. "Kara, in my eyes there is absolutely no one else better then you. No one more pretty, no one more stronger, no one more smarter, and no one more deserving of the best person to make you happy. Now I may be a bad person to ask, being a slave for all my life doesnt make me the best judge of character. But that is my opinion." He says calmly.

Kara Zor-El nods. "I'm not all that great a person actually, but it's nice of you to say that. Do you think this guy I'm talking about would choose me over someone his own species?"

"If he doesnt, then he cursed with a lack of common sense." Solarflare says as he smiles at her. "Now, no more tears?" He asks as he smiles at her, looking down to the girl, watching her.

"It shows you care. It is better to be true to yourself and emotions, then hiding and storing them away." Solarflame as he smiles. "Now, what would you like to do?" He asks as he leans to gently take her hands and help bring her to her feet. "Come on, up up."

Kara Zor-El pauses, finding it funny that the guy who she just beat senseless with her finger is the one helping HER up. She smiles a bit and does get up, then helps him up instead. "I'd like to actually just relax upstairs and watch TV in a totall un-superheroish way if that's okay?"

Solarflare nods. "I am going to go to my ship, focus myself and get some rest. I wish you a good day." He says as he smiles. "Unless you want me to join you in this watching of TV, whatever that is?"

Kara Zor-El smiles. "Nah it's okay.. you take care of those cats. One thing... see about getting them some regular cat food, okay? From a store?"

"I want to watch this TV with you. Lets me learn things." Solarflare says as he walks with her to spend time to watch TV with her.

The two of them watch infomercials for the rest of the night on the couch. Neither one of them having any clue why they'd need a machine to master their thighs, or why it's so vital to be able to scramble an egg within the shell.
