[ The ID on the Network appears as Power Girl.

As the audio begins, anyone with a good ear or paying close attention will notice there isn’t complete radio silence between the time the feed turns on and when a woman begins speaking. There’s a passing wind that lightly filters in through the speaker – and are those wings flapping in the distance? ]

Okay, I get it; Lachesis does not appreciate a hands on approach. Does she really call herself that? I guess she doesn’t get memos, but I thought I washed my hands of this alternate universe mess a while ago and I’m seriously not interested in being apart of it.

The City... that’s original. [ A light scoff. ] Should have stuck with New York.

If anyone from the JSA or the League is—oh. One second. [ The audio cuts for about five minutes before it’s switched back on and Peej sighs. ] That was a close call.

Sorry, as I was saying: All-stars or JSA, Leaguers, Titans, heck even Legionnaires ... this is Power Girl. I think I’ve gotten the gist of the situation, but if there’s anything else I need to be briefed on get in contact with me ASAP.

[ Not that her voice will betray how she really feels, but she really hopes she’s not stuck in another alternate universe by herself again. ]

[ A beat. ]

You do realize you shouldn't be telling me that, right? On a public network?

[withamask]

That's the gist of it.

[enigmaestro]

I must impress how deeply I'm not kidding. She's had about three sincere suitors.

For some reason.

[not_really_charlie]

Why not? Nobody here's evn from my world. Not like they can dig around for my past on another planet.

[boobwindow]

Does Lachesis always have crappy timing? I was in the middle of something.

[withamask]

Unfortunately. What were you doing at home?

[boobwindow]

Enjoying some good things that actually came my way and the temporary peace and quiet. [ She can't really get into details about the firm going public. ]

[boobwindow]

Has online dating failed in this universe?

[boobwindow]

You're really an open book, aren't you?

[enigmaestro]

Why? Do you have personal experience in the success of online dating?

[not_really_charlie]

Guess I can't keep my mouth shut with a pretty girl.

That, or ten months of being stuck here here... Not everything's so important to keep stuck. [But no, there's still a lot of things she keeps hidden.]

[boobwindow]

Not really interested in that.

[ Sexual interest in others has fallen to zero no thanks to Vartox. ]

[boobwindow]

[ Another pause. It's not the first time this has happened to her, but it's usually men. Not that women haven't been caught staring at her boob window before. ]

One: woman. Two: Flattered, but not interested.

Well, no one's panicking which is a good thing. Kidnapped folk tend to have very nasty reactions so I'm glad people are relatively calm so far.

[not_really_charlie]

One - woman, then. Two - figured. Still true, though.

It's not like we all got kidnapped yesterday. We're getting used to it.

[enigmaestro]

Always good to make known your preference. Lots of opportunists in this world.

[viced]

Well, I wouldn't say overrun, but we do have a minority of supervillains, yeah.

[withamask]

Being taken from a time like that is even worse, then.

[boobwindow]

I'm worried about Stockholm syndrome, honestly. [ So hopefully this aura of calm isn't due to that. ] How have you been keeping busy, Charlie?

[boobwindow]

Anyway, we got off topic.

I take it you're all too familiar with this Vulcanus group I keep hearing about.

[boobwindow]

Got any names?

[boobwindow]

Annoying, but I'll live.

How long ago did you arrive?

[withamask]

A little over a month.

[not_really_charlie]

If you mean loving the porter? I wouldn't worry that much...


IT girl. Remember? Plus, I'm sort of mounting the hacking defense against Vulcanis... [Or trying, anyway. She's only found one other halfway decent hacker so far.]

Plus, there's... Cyd. My roommate. Who looks just like me. [Yeah. Best to get that out of the way.]

[boobwindow]

A month is still considered a newbie?

[boobwindow]

Again: should you really be talking about that in public? [ She's surprised by how open this lady is about the fact. That's sensitive information. ] Wait, let me answer that for you: no. You don't talk about hacking the terrorist organization on a public network.

... Come again?
