Talk with Kara 2

[Arnold POV]

'Well, I've been such a burden on them already… I cant-" she began.

"Alright, let's stop that thought there." I interrupted.

"I don't know how you feel about this, but let me make one thing clear. Your cousin is happy to have you here. Take this from a brother, I'm the happiest when I'm with my siblings. There is no doubt about that. I'm sure it's like that for him too, maybe even more so because you're the only other of his kind left." I said.

"Thanks for that. But Kal aside, the other two must dislike me." she stated.

"I don't think so. I mean, I can't really pinpoint the exact emotions they have towards you, I know for a fact they aren't negative. They're the types to want the best for others' even though Batman can get… a bit overzealous. So give them another shot. I'll talk to them, see if I can relax your schedule." I answered.

"Thanks, although I'll probably still end up hating it." she replied.

"Who knows, you might enjoy it this time. Plus I'm sure it'll come in handy if you ever become a superhero." I replied.

"I don't know about that." she told me.

"Why is that?" I questioned.

"I don't think I have a place here, a life here. I don't want to be around the people of this planet, much less someone whom they look up to. Especially after what they did to me." she answered.

'Ah. the entire thing with the auction' i remembered.

"I don't want to be a hero. Honestly, I dont think I'm even capable of it, especially with my powers being so… underwhelming. I can't even do half the things Kal can." she said.

"No, you definitely are capable of it. You just need to have the drive to save people." I answered

"How do you know?" she questions.

"I just do okay. And for the record I can't do a tenth of what one of my brothers can do, so its not really about having the same powers." I explained.

"Really? Your brother must be amazing, too" she said

"Yeah he is something." I replied.

Looking over at her, I said "Say what, I'll do the training with you"

Hearing this, she got stunned and said "Why would you do that??"]

"I've heard having a workout partner helps in keeping you motivated. So while you train here I'm your workout new partner." I replied.

Hearing this, she just stood there for a moment, blankly looking at me, before she said in a voice full of gratitude " Thank you. But why go through all of this for me?"

"Hey, I helped save you… so now I gotta take responsibility by making sure you turn out alright. Also, you remind me of my little brother." I answered, remembering the past.

'Still wish I could have supported you the same way back then.' I thought. But that's besides the point.

"So yeah, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." I told her, before warping away. 

'OK, now that we've dealt with that, time to introduce sunbathing into her schedule.' I thought, as I began to move towards the justice trio.

"Hey there, guys." Arnold said, entering the room.

"Hey" Superman responded.

"So I just talked with Kara, and I wanted to suggest a couple of changes." Arnold said.

"You did?!" wonder woman said, surprised.

"Yeah. I heard it." Superman replied.

"Ok good, then you know what I want." Arnold said.

"Yes, I was just waiting for you so that we could discuss it with these two." he responded.

"Great. So I'll just say it. First, I want you to decrease her training time. She doesn't step foot on a training ground until noon. Even when she trains, it's gotta be outside." Arnold began.

"Explain." Batman said.

"She isn't getting enough sun." Superman started. 

"I didn't notice until now, but her symptoms are similar to what happened to me when I got too far away from our sun for an extended period of time." he explained.

"All right. What else?" Wonder Woman asked.

"I'm gonna join her for the training sessions" I stated.

"Very well. That shouldn't be too much of a problem." Batman answered.

"Good. That settles it." said Arnold, ending the conversation.

'Looks like I'll be spending a couple of months here. Let's hope things stay quiet for now.' Arnold wished.

Little did he know, this thought had jinxed his future for a long time to come.

[A random satellite, Space]

"NOW BRING ME THE BOOZE!!!" a man said, sitting on top of a pile of bloodied corpses. He has pale white skin, long unkempt hair, and is wearing an all black punk-rock outfit. 

"Y-yes… Here t-take it. J-ust don't kill me!" the terrified bartender replied, offering him a massive pint. The man takes it, b

"AHH! KGNARKIAN BOOZE HITS THE SPOT! JUST HOW THE MAIN MAN LIKES IT!" he yells.

"NOW, YOU GOT ANY MORE BOUNTIES FOR ME!" he asked.

"A-as a matter of fact, yes. A new bounty was placed recently that has shook the cosmos by storm. A Mr. Nostradamus from a small planet from sector 2814. The bounty on his head exceeds a billion units." he replied.

"GOOD. NOW THE MAIN MAN IS GONNA GO MASSACRE ALL THE BOUNTY HUNTERS HEADED THERE! AND THEN NO ONE CAN DISTURB THE MAIN MAN LOBO WHEN HE RIPS THIS NOSTAWHATEVER A NEW ONE!!!" he shouted before rushing out of the bar.

'I-is he gone? I thought I was gonna die." the bartender thought.

'But still, I pity whoever the poor soul that bounty hunter is chasing. Whatever, I have bigger things to worry about. Whoever he is, may his corpse find rest.' thinking this, the bartender prayed for the poor soul.

Incidentally, this prayer was the last act he performed before the entire satellite blew up with him on it.
