[ 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. ]

No clue. I guess they hate us? Or maybe we're in the way. Or maybe they want to be us. Maybe they're just nuts!

They took over another universe and made it some kind of anti-import paradise, but I didn't go along for that so I dunno what it was like.

[ Misfit is being too vague for her to understand that. Plan B: ]

How secure are these communicators?

Oracle invented these encryptions so they're almost unbreakable? There are some technopaths here who might be able to get through them, but I don't think any ever have?

They're as secure as anything can be, basically. So...secure.

Do you have files of this Vulcanus you can send over?

Now that I can do. Because these computers are just...amazing...hold on.

[Charlie sets her comm down and there's a sound of typing and clicking. Eventually a series of files appears on PG's comm, pretty much everything public knowledge about vulcanus, plus transcripts of most conversations that took place on the network about them, news reports, newspapers.]

Tadaa!

This Vulcanus has been bu-sy.

Thanks Misfit.

Sure! And, uh...welcome. Lemmie know if you need anything. Always cool to see somebody I actually know.

Uhm. I know it kinda sucks getting dropped here like this, but it's not actually so bad. Or that different from before, really.

You get used to it?

You've been here by yourself? What about the other Birds?

[ She pauses, frowning. ]

I don't know if that's a good thing, Misfit.

Well, not...really. I mean, sometimes yeah but there's usually somebody around. When I first got here Oracle and Batgirl...the tiny one...were both here. Oracle's been here and gone a whole buncha times since then, and the other batgirl, and some of the robins and Batman a few times and Batwoman...Oh she's still here! And a couple different versions of Huntress?

None of them were Huntress from the Birds but...[A shrug.]

I never leave. But everyone who leaves now ends up leaving me their stuff so it's not like I have to worry about it much, I guess. I'm living with Hel...Huntress, she moved in after everybody left last time.

[She frowns.]

I think, like...you know how on TV shows sometimes there's a totally revolving cast where like you never know if characters are gonna stick around or leave or die or get written out but there's always that one character that's never the main one but always sort of hanging around and keeping everything constant?

I kinda think that's me.

[She's thought about this a lot. Also, rambling.]

[ She's actually not too shocked to hear about all those versions of Huntress running around. Considering she's met one or two over the years. ]

I'm sorry. [ She empathizes. ] I know it's difficult to watch everyone around you disappear.

[ But there's something that stands out and as bad as she feels, she is curious. ]

You're living with Huntress, you said?

Yeah. Now that? Totally can't seem to get used to it.

[She nods, then grins faintly.]

Well, technically she's living with me! I was here first and all.

I don't think you do. You just... [ She sighs. ] You can't let it wear you down, kid. You have to keep going.

I guess I'll find out on my own, then. [ Re: Helena. ]

Oh dude, I am way too awesome to give up. [It's only about half bravado, but she fakes it well.]

Find what out?

Don't give up. We'll find a way out of here one way or another.

Don't worry about it. I'm going to talk to Huntress myself.

[ It's not fair to drag Misfit into that mess. She just wants to confirm for herself if she's the real deal or not. ]

Yeah. Maybe. [If she sounds uncertain, it's not so much because she doesn't believe it as she doesn't necessarily want to leave.]</small. Well...don't beat her up or anything, she's pretty cool but she's still human.

Not planning on it. [ Unless she's evil. Then no promises. ]

Good! Okay. Lemmie know if you need anything.

Thanks Misfit. I'll be in touch.
