Show of hands, show of hands! Who around here knows who Superman is?

...I don't mean like- knows who he is, who he is, I mean knows of the superhero dude. Six foot eight, weighs a freaking ton ♫ I'm kidding, he's not six eight. He's taller.

What about Batman? Wonder Woman? Everybody knows the big three, they're like the holy trinity of punchin' dudes who deserve it. Plus I mean, Wonder Woman, am I right? I'm right. Ultimate justice in a one piece.

Not everyone. There are still a few of us kicking around. [ But that sounds like -- ] You were in the City too?

I don't remember having one. One minute we're on a floating city wondering if this is how it's gonna be for the rest of our lives, next the Porter's yelling at us to come and find her.

And then we ended up here.

[ Something like that, anyway. ]

[runningstart]

Hang on- what's that mean, she was yelling for you to come and find her? Like, you went to go find her and then you woke up here?

Yeah, she made a post to the Network -- we had one too, back then. She'd talk to imPorts on it, but only after she'd just done something to mess with us.

[ He snorts quietly at the memory. ]

Anyway, things were falling apart for a while back there. I don't know why she couldn't just 'Port us all out, but we had to climb up a set of stairs and then ...

And go into the light?

[KF folds his arms, humming.]

She doesn't talk to anybody on the networks anymore, huh. Unless she's doing it anonymous. Or to people privately.

Pretty much. No choir of angels or anything like that, though.

[ He pauses. ]

There was that post by 'L. Chases' a while back now, but ... I don't know if that was really her, or just a coincidence. [ Is anything around here really a coincidence, though? ] I haven't seen or heard anyone who sounds like her, so maybe I'm just imagining things.

[runningstart]

I dunno. Maybe. [KF makes a note to go back and look for the post to read through more carefully.] People who think they're imagining things usually aren't, though.
