*Luke puts his hands out, barely believing what he's hearing.* So you're okay with this?

:::She shakes her head, still not looking at Luke:::
No... this is what you call '******** up' I think. And it's all because... I'm supposed to have a place to go. I- I'm sorry.

*Luke relaxes a little. At least Cora got that much. He sits down at the table, exhausted by all the ******** drama.* Yeah, Kal and I were talking about that. *He motions for her to sit down and talk to him.* Cora, it might have been okay for you to stay in the Brink before, when you had nowhere else to go.
*shakes his head* But, with everything that's happened, you can't stay here. We have to think about where else you can go.

Kal wants me to go with him.
:::Cora hadn't been sure about the whole idea... leaving the Brink would be hard, it needed her there to help protect it, but mostly, she'd miss seeing the people she loved... though if it was causing them this much trouble:::
I think I should.

*Luke looks up when she says that.* You want to go with them? *points behind him, wondering if she just saw what he saw* Kal and Kara?

:::She nods:::
I don't know what it is... but I understand them. And I admire them for what they're trying to do. They never even lived in Omegatropolis, but I can see how much it must mean to them to keep their world from going back to that. They really are trying to make a place for us...
It's enough to just see that they're brother and sister. Those don't exist in Omegatropolis.

*Though he can't fathom it, he asks.*
You would be happy there?

I guess I can't tell until I try. I mean... I understand all their technology and history, there would be no police force, no training everyday, no schedule, no being afraid of making the wrong move or saying the wrong thing, I already know I'd believe in the same things they do...
and if what they say is true... the people will care about me there.
:::her insecurities about what she heard Kara say didn't just bounce off her the way most rebel bullets once did:::

*She had good points. All of them. It was what made the most sense. And she needed to get out of here - as soon as humanly possible.*
*Luke still didn't like it, but he was willing to relent at least a little where he hadn't been before.*
Well. I guess it has to be better than where you started out, right?

:::She nodded:::
And... where else would I go? :::Cora didn't realize it but she was hoping he'd keep his promise. He once told her he wouldn't leave her there:::

*Luke sighed hard again. It was the same question Kal asked.*
I don't know. I don't know, Slim.
But anywhere's better than here. At least in Kal and Kara's time you'll be safe.

:::her eyes hadn't come up to look at him once for fear that she'd cry if she looked at him again:::
It would be best. I- I'm sorry it caused you all that trouble. I never wanted for any of that-

You?? *Luke looks up at her, wondering what the hell she's talking about.* You think this is your fault?
Cora, Kara is a psychotic, raving b***h. If she really wanted people to know that you were here, that -I- was here, that she and Kal were here, she could have brought one of us there to show them.
*adds* She could have gotten her s**t together and told them herself! She's a ******** goddess right? Who wouldn't have believed her?
She could have sent out a ******** flyer or put up a billboard or got on a ******** loudspeaker. She could have done everything in the world, except pretended to be pregnant!
This is nobody's fault - do you hear me? - nobody's fault but hers.

:::Cora nods silently. Luke was right about those things. It seemed like a rather outrageous thing for someone to do... why couldn't she just tell them herself, or bring one of them to her time. Why did she go through all that? Cora didn't have the answer...
Maybe all Cora was really sorry for hearing that she wasn't worth all that troube to Luke...:::
Right . . . still. You must have been really upset. I'm sorry.

*shakes his head* It's alright. I'm not gonna let that b***h get to me. *Luke's done giving her what she wants.*
*After he says this, Luke fades out.*
