[And Kara squeezed his shoulder, nodding her encouragement.]

That's a good thing. Trust me.

[beyondme]

I guess it couldn't hurt.

[girl_power]

It never hurts to have a little hope.

[House of El: hope elementals. At least if you can look past the anger in one and the doubt in the other.]

[beyondme]

No. At least I never found it to.

[girl_power]

[Another of those bright smiles and she shrugged.] So. About that wild hare of an idea I had about bringing the probes back. Think it's possible?

[beyondme]

I think it is. We'll have to figure out what kind of frequencies they were using back then but . . . yeah, it's doable.

[girl_power]

We'll also need to do some in-depth stellar cartography to find out what passing celestial bodies would've formed gravity wells that could throw any of them off their path, or even have destroyed them.

[Nope, this blonde was not stupid. It had just been a long time since she'd been between planets. So... rusty, sure. Stupid, no.]

[beyondme]

Thankfully, I have one of the best navigators on the Fleet.

[girl_power]

Think they'll mind an extra alien on board?

[beyondme]

[ It takes a second to parse that, his brow creasing. ]

Why would they mind?

[girl_power]

Some people... aren't too fond of Kryptonians. We're a little more powerful than they're used to.

[Quite the knack for understatement, there, Kara.]

[beyondme]

On my ship, that doesn't matter.

[girl_power]

I hope you're right.

[He'd seen her fly. He hadn't seen the rest of what she could do.]

[beyondme]

[ He's firm. ]

I know I'm right.

[girl_power]

Because it's your ship and you say so, right? [A small smile was lurking around the corners of her mouth.]

[beyondme]

No. Because I know my crew. And none of them would behave in that way.

[girl_power]

[She'd expected a joke. What she got? Not a joke. But it was oddly heartening.]

Okay.

[And she said it like a quiet revelation, truly accepting what he'd said.]

[beyondme]

You'll see for yourself.
