DAY 372 ▼ ACTION
A little thing like rain isn't going to stop Kara — or rather, Supergirl, clad in a makeshift costume — from soaring up into the sky and doing a few laps around the island to both in attempt to better understand this place and stretch her freshly (re)superpowered legs. And while she's getting something of a feel for her limitations, exploring the dome more thoroughly than she was able to yesterday is providing her with far more questions than it is answers.

She can be found throughout the day flying around various sectors — from stopping by the Athletic Complex to pick up a few barbells (effortlessly, and perhaps all at once), to roasting some of the Shooting Range's marshmallows with her heat vision, to stopping by the Sizzle & Sear to grab something to eat, and even taking the time to walk through the museum's pig exhibit.

	"Even then, doing that by yourself seems..." A purse of her lips, a shake of her head. Really lonely. It seems incredibly lonely, and she's not sure she'd ever be satisfied with a life like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have a crew." Small crew. "We just spend more time out in the black than planetside." Why is he trying to justify himself to her? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A crew," she echoes, smiling. "That's good. I'm glad you have them. I have— Well, I had a team. I was part of team. They weren't really mine. I guess I was more theirs. But we worked really well together, and I was grateful to have them." The DEO and the Super Friends. (That name was still stupid, but it stuck.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right then. And we stay in the black where we don't have to meet anyone else. And it ain't lonely." And fine. He is grateful that he has them. Perhaps that's why he didn't drop Simon and River off at the nearest planet. But he's not going to tell this girl that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm Supergirl, by the way," she says holding out a hand.

Probably sounds lame. Kara wasn't a big fan of it when Cat picked it for it, but it's stuck and it means something to the people of her city. Out here, though, saying it makes her feel more out of place than she did trying to navigate her first year of high school while still learning how to speak English.

	Mal stares at her and then at her hand. "Supergirl? That the name yer parent's gave you? Sounds like quite a name to live up to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, no handshaking then. "No. It's the name the media gave me, a name to go along with the one they gave my cousin. But it works. It's something for them to call me, an emblem. Something they need. And for me? It's a way to let me live a normal life when I'm not flying around saving people." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mal looks to the exhibit. The pigs make more sense than what she's saying. Emblems and normal lives. Media given names. "What sort of world d'you come from you need all that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"A world where they're not quite ready to have aliens living among them. A world where I need to be able to be me and not constantly be everyone's savior."

More or less. As stressful as maintaining a secret identity could be, it paid off at the end of the day and was much better than the alternative. It was bad enough when Cat thought she had figured it out. Kara can't imagine living like that day after day with the whole world knowing that sweet Kara Danvers was really Supergirl.

	"Boy does that sound exhausting. Space is so much easier. Fl under the radar, stick it to the man when you can, and survive." don't gotta be nobody. Except of course, he has River and Simon on his crew. He's somebody. (Reply to this) (Parent)
