one ✩ voice

[boobwindow]

[ 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. ]

And if there's no choice?

[not_really_charlie]

Compared to now?

[boobwindow]

[ An audible groan. ]

Are you even listening to me?

[not_really_charlie]

Are you?

Do you really want to wait years to fall in love, have her throw you home and forget everything?

[boobwindow]

I'm surprised that anyone would be glad they've been kidnapped by a machine and want to stay, but hey, if that's your choice and you're happier here then it's fine. There are just other people to consider in this situation.

[ She pauses. ]

Is that what this is about?

[not_really_charlie]

...Look. Wherever I go? I'm probably going to have to move. Hacker girls aren't exactly your most popular form of being. Plus, I sort of pissed off an entire species off evil that wants to destroy the earth.

I just want it to be my choice when I leave. I'm pretty sure that's what everyone else wants, too.

[boobwindow]

[ She pauses again to collect her thoughts, though she sighs again and this time she speaks a little more softly. She's not heartless after all. ]

Don't get me wrong, if you're happy with the life you've been able to make here then I'm not going to force you to give up on this. Like you said, it's your choice.

I'm just saying it may not be as simple as we'd like it to be when the time comes to make a decision.

[not_really_charlie]

Which is wh we need to find a way to hack her. Safely.

Or make a copy, I guess, but if we knew how to open that many portals we wouldn't be i this mess.

[boobwindow]

Like I said, slow down for now. I like the way you think, but we don't want to start ripping open the doors to the multiverse. Trust me, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

[not_really_charlie]

You should see what happened on my world.

[boobwindow]

What happened?

[not_really_charlie]

You ever hear of leviathan?

[boobwindow]

A monster from the Old Testament?

[not_really_charlie]

Shapeshifting monsters that copy people and eat them.

Apparently my boss was on of them.

[boobwindow]

Ergh. That's just gross.

How did you wind up working for that?

[not_really_charlie]

Did I mention they made themselves look human?

He copied a corporation head; Dick Roman.

[boobwindow]

Dick... Roman. [ OKAY, she's just not going to bother with that but really. ]

I take it the company was their front for their own personal restaurant.

[not_really_charlie]

Yeah. Should have been a tip off, right? It' not like he popped out of no where, though... Someone actually named their kid that.

More like they were turning the entire world into their personal restaurant. The company just gave them lots of money.

I was supposed to hack into a drive.

[boobwindow]

That's where it went wrong?

[not_really_charlie]

If by "went wrong" you mean a couple of... hunters, I guess? They convinced me to hack into Dick's stuff, send them all the information, and delay a package so they could get their hands on it and save the wrold.

Yeah. They messed up.

But apparently I'm some sort of uncopyable genius, so....

[boobwindow]

[ She's actually keeping this name in mind in case she needs to hack something. ]

Hunters?

[not_really_charlie]

They hunted... things. I didn't really want to know. One species trying to kill me was enough.

[It's a good idea - keeping her name handy. That thing about being an un-copy-able genius comes straight from the Leviathan. It's the only reason they didn't eat her like everyone else.]

[boobwindow]

What kind of "things"? These leviathans?

[not_really_charlie]

And stuff.

Girl doesn't ask that many questions when she's already being asked to piss off one species.

[boobwindow]

I'm really sorry to hear about all that.
