Howdy, Cousin
After a lunch with J'anna and a promise that she would keep her updated on what was going on with her, Alura had set off for Metropolis. It was... smaller than it ~~had been~~ would be in her time, but it was still in some way recognizable as the same City of Tomorrow it had always been. It was also home to a portion of her family, such as it was, on Earth.

She hoped dearly to avoid her mother. Though Kara Zor-El had spent enough time in the future to have had a hand in raising her daughter, a battle with the Time Trapper had returned her to the past, physically and mentally the same as when she had first been trapped in the 31st century. She would have no memory or even any sign that she had ever left this time period. Alura could no bear to face her.

She hovered above the city, briefly scanning it with her various forms of super-vision, while she tried to decide how best to get along of Kal-El or another family member.

	She's not there long when someone else with super vision takes note of her. He's wearing jeans and lacks a cape right now, but he has the skintight blue top, distinctive family symbol, and, well, he's flying - some indication who it might be. He does pull up short when he gets close, noting her choice of costuming. "And you would be...?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The symbol that would be recognizable for more than a thousand years. Alura's knowledge of her own family tree and knowledge of Superman in general, at least, gives her some grounding of knowledge in this time period. It's not hard to figure out who this is. "My name," she says, "is Alura Dox." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's got some grounding in family dynamics as well. And that name means either very potentially impressive things, or something really bad. "Querl or Vril?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-25 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Querl," she told him. "My mother is Kara Zor-El. It is... complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-25 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	Ok, that makes things a lot easier. Anything Vril Dox touched tended to get complicated. Querl, from what he knows, at least tends to have his heart in the right place when his brain doesn't get too far ahead of it. "I can imagine it would be. What brings you to this century?"

	"Unfortunately, I do not not have an answer for this," Alura replied. "I rather unexpectedly found myself in Star City, after having crashed back to Earth. J'anna J'onzz suggested it was a wormhole, but my short term memory of anything before I arrived is rather shot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-26 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"You wouldn't be the first to have arrived this year via wormhole, so its entirely possible. I trust that J'Anna has been able to give you a basic introduction to the time, and verified your identity?" Easy enough to follow up. Martians are handy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-26 01:09 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Unfortunately, I find myself at something of a loss as to how to return to my own time period." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-26 01:11 am UTC (link)
	"The Flashes might be able to help you. Unfortunately though, we don't have any consistent time travel here. Its possible your father may eventually come looking for you though. In the meanwhile, we can at least try and make you comfortable here, though I'm sure a lot of it will be a culture shock." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-26 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"I am sure," she said. "I would appreciate whatever aid you can offer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-26 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"Well, for starters, do you have a place to stay yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-26 01:46 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "I hadn't made any arrangement." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-26 02:02 am UTC (link)
	"Then we'll make arrangements, either staying with us for a bit, or finding you some space on the satellite if you'd prefer. I'll give you the grand tour of Metropolis too. Long as you're here, you may as well know your way around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-26 02:12 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "I would like that. It is very different, much smaller, than in my era." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-26 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"So I've heard. There's been a lot of travel, relatively speaking, between our times compared to most eras. But until we find a way to send you back we'll try and help you get comfortable here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-26 03:34 am UTC (link)
	"I would like that, thank-you," she told him. "I only ask... that you do not speak of me to my mother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-08-26 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, figured that might be complicated. As long as the martian can confirm you are who you say you are, I'll just report you in as a member of the Legion and leave it at that for now, and get you space on the satellite and with the YJLA for now. That ought to handle most questions for the time being." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	brainiac_6 2010-08-26 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank-you," she said. "It is most appreciated. Hopefully, I will not have to make use of your hospitality for long." (Reply to this)(Parent)
