:::He wasn't sure how to continue... how much did Cora really know? Did Kara go as far as to tell Cora her future..? He hoped that wasnt the case, and that Kara had stopped answering Cora's questions before she messed anything up:::
Woah... Cora, listen... :::He took a few steps nearer, his shoulders slumping slightly with shame:::
I'm sorry I lied to you...I mean, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But Kara and I, we're from you're future. I didn't want to tell you anything that might... change things. I didn't know what kind of effect it might have if you knew.

:::Cora was familiar with the etiquette of speaking to people from different times, she just...never met anyone who would be putting HER at risk for the same reasons. But she couldn't help wanting to know.:::
Omegatropolis still stands...?

Yes... it still stands.
:::Kal has enough on his mind. The very last thing he wants to think about is the unresolved Omegatropolitan conflicts over his head:::

:::He sighed. Kara did tell her about the revolution then. Though it was probably obvious that He himself didn't come from Omegatropolis:::
Yes, to my dismay. I'm the prince of the rebel nation. :::He looked up at her...and her police uniform::: I'm the enemy.

:::She finally broke her stare:::
No, I'm no longer any kind of part of that place. I have no more enemies from your time... and particularly not you, I hope.
:::She walks up to him now:::
You could have told me. You don't have to tell me what happens to me, but you could have told me about what happens to the world. Especially since... I no longer have a part in any of it.

:::Oh good, Kara didn't go too far this time... I'm surprised. Kal felt relieved that Cora wasn't aware of the part she really did play:::
I'm sorry Cora... I just wanted to be safe. There are some strange things going on here, that... don't really make sense to me. They're not like what I've learned in the legends of my people. I just wanted to know what was going on before I explained it to everyone else...

Kara said... that you've been keeping things from your people as well. She has a point Kal, if it's really important to them, they have the right to know.

:::Kal suddenly went a little pale:::
Don't let her fool you into thinking she knows what's best for our people... I DID intend to tell them, eventually. Once I knew for sure what was going on. But now she's ruined it.
And she's ruined a few lives along the way....

What... do you mean? Has she hurt someone?

:::There was obviously restrained anger in his voice. It was a bitterness Cora hadn't ever heard Kal use before:::
Yeah, I'd say she has.
:::He didn't know how to explain it gently. What Kara had done was far beyond what any moral person could hear of and not be offended:::
...She couldn't tell them without me agreeing to join her, so she decided the best way to force me to do it was to bring undeniable proof back to our time with her...

:::Cora was hanging on to his words... from the way he was acting, it was bad...but what was it?:::
She... she brought someone from here to your time? Who is it? Did she hurt them..?

That's not... how it went.
:::He rubbed his forhead as though it was paining him:::
Kara couldn't just bring someone over, it would cause a mass reaction, who knows... it could have been worse than if...
:::than if we told them that a lot of their legends are lies:::
Well it could have been bad... if we didn't gauge their reaction first. She didn't want to show them that way. She wanted to force me to just tell them.
So she... she's bearing a child. ::Kal's frustration was to a point where his firsts where shaking, and his knuckles had gone white:::

:::It made sense to Cora very quickly. She only had to pause a moment to realize that... Kara was pregnant with a child belonging to someone there in the Brink:::
Who's!? Who's has she been w-
:::But Cora's face suddenly went white, whiter than Kal's. She knew of only two people it could be:::
