Kara Danvers has posed:
Supergirl hasn't been to the Tower in the last few days. But now, her business has brought her back. She makes her way into the Lobby of the Tower, walking in with a confident stride, as she starts for the elevator. She pauses as she heads that way, as if listening for something.

Wally West has posed:
Wally was there when Monet warned the Titans about Kara acting strangely. Wally has a working theory about What might be up but doesn't have much behind it but a hunch based on one person's account. When security cameras pick up Kara's arrival Wally perks and in a fraction of a jiffy He's there to meet her in the lobby.

"Hey Kara, how goes it?"

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara's lips curl up a bit when she sees Wally more or less just appear in the lobby. "Wally. Good to see you. Things are...improving. Right now, I'm looking for Donna. Was hoping she'd be around, though I don't hear her. How are things with you?" She takes a couple steps closer.

Wally West has posed:
"yeah Donna's not in I'm solo at the moment or i was till you showed up. I have been a little worried about you. We got a pretty weird alert about you. I hope everything is fine. And that you know you can talk to us." Wally says aware of Kara moving closer but holding fast for the moment. "We're friends"

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara frowns, as she hears that. "A weird alert? Who said what?" she asks, curiously. "I don't know that I have anything that I need to talk about, beyond correcting a mistake that's been made. You can help me, if you like." she offers. She steps another step closer, almost to arm's reach.

Wally West has posed:
Wally is on high alert. he's trying not to give it away but his mind and senses are working at full speed. Ready to move the attosecond Kara would make a sudden move. "Someone named M came by told us you were acting more aggressive than normal for you and were searching for something called Murder rocks? Kara if someone did something to you you can tell me I'm on your side I only want to help"

Kara Danvers has posed:
"Really? She did. That bitch." Kara frowns a bit. "Kryptonite, Wally. When there's rocks around that can kill you by simple exposure, it seems like a really bad idea to leave them around. I just want to gather them up and destroy them. Or throw them into space. Just...get rid of them somehow. Nothing wrong with that." She smiles to Wally. "You could help me talk some sense into them.

Wally West has posed:
Wally's ears perk up when Kara calls M a bitch. Warning bells ringing in his head.

Wally shrugs. "I mean we do keep radioactive elements under strict lock and key for that same reason. I can see where you're coming from. Thats actually not a bad idea. So why don't we explain that to people? People have been worried on both teams. We all want to make sure our SuperGirl is safe. We can tell them and smooth this all over. Right?"

Kara Danvers has posed:
    Supergirl laughs at that. "Safe? Wally, I'm Kryptonian. I'm invulnerable. Except for those damn rocks, there's really nothing I have to worry about. So sure, tell them. The sooner we sort all this, the better, in my attention." She reaches up a hand towards his face. Not quickly, or aggressively. In fact, if he doesn't move away or stop her, she'll caress his cheek. "All I need is my friends to listen to me."

Wally West has posed:
Wally holds fast, he's on on alert but he wants to trust Kara. "No one is invincible Kara, Even Clark died for a little while. And besides that we care. So yeah let's get this straightened out"

A long time friend and teammate Wally wants to believe her and that she wont him. So he accept her hand on his face. "I'm here for you Kara don't worry" Wally says letting his guard down. Wally isn't ready to resist the this type of approach from someone like Kara.

Kara Danvers has posed:
"Good. I'm still trying to catch Donna to talk to her about it. But all I'm trying to do is get the stuff either destroyed, or thrown out into deep space. It being here, no matter HOW well people think it's protected, is just a knife pointed at my back, Superman's back...it's just not safe." Supergirl says.

She's standing next to Wally, with her hand on his cheek. "Thank you for being a friend, Wally."

Vivian Vision has posed:
While Vivian Vision hasn't been at the Tower a lot lately, school and GIRL commitments getting in the way, the recent Supergirl related incident at GIRL has encouraged her to stop by. To give anyone who needed it an in-person update. Face to face is generally the best way to discuss delicate issues.

Less risk of third parties snooping on eletronic signals. And by now who knows what alien tech Kara might have put together!

But after her first encounter she's a little reluctant to rush in immediately. Monitoring the situation through the building security system remotely at first. Before phasing her way into the Tower. Wally could well need back up after all.

Wally West has posed:
"I'll always be your friend Kara. and I'll always stand by my friends" Wally says reaching up to gently put his hand on hers. "I don't want anything to happen to you or clark or Karen so we can handle this together as team."

Kara Danvers has posed:
Supergirl smiles. "There. See? Nothing to worry about. Everyone being friends and getting along. Just one, big, happy family." The Girl of Steel nods. "Now, since Donna's not around for me to bother her about this right now, I may hop out. There's someone I'm going to have to have a few words with." There's a little bit of heat in those words.

Kara lowers her hand, and starts to turn. "Good to know I can count on you."

America Chavez has posed:
    America doesn't believe in not making an entrance. When she emerges from the Starling Highway the explosive crstaline shattering of the very fabric of reality in the shape of a five pointed star is announcement enough to all but announce her arrival. She steps out of the hole, the land beyond looking nothing more than empty space with nebulous clouds and a shining blue path going off into infinity, and blinks.

    "Am I... interupting something?" she asks, looking between Wally and Kara with an arched brow before looing around. "Okay good" she says with an exhale of relief. "I wanted the Lobby of the Tower. Usually I'm not off the mark, but stranger things have happened."

Vivian Vision has posed:
Very very /very/ carefully, to avoid raising suspicion in someone who can likely detect even a tiny build up in the computer systems load rate just by listening for the fans whirring, Vivian runs through the start up sequence for the lockdown and security protocols. Just in case they're needed.

She also taps into America's T-Comm and drops in a text alert. 'While reading this message please remain calm. Caution Super Girl is acting strangely. She could be dangerous. Please be extremely careful.'

Wally West has posed:
Wally could tell in the tone of Kara's voice she was using 'have words with' in the same way Thor 'would have words with' someone. Wally thinks fast to keep Kara around. "Wait, Why don't we go to the embassy Donna is probably there handling amazon" his sentence is cut off by the sudden arrival of America Chavez.

"oh shit." Wally mutters to himself. He felt reasonably sure he could keep kara being a danger to him but adding variables to the situation changes things up.

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara does seem to be using it in the same vein as how Thor would have words with someone. She stops as there's the sudden starburst in the air of America's portal, looking over at it. "Now THAT is an entrance." she says, apparently approving.

The approval gives way to a frown, though, as she looks to Wally. "Donna isn't here. I would have heard her." Her eyes narrow just a little. "Wally...are you trying to pull a fast one on me?" Maybe a pun on superspeed, maybe not. She looks over to America, then back to Wally. "Somehow I'm getting the sense of getting ganged up on."

America Chavez has posed:
    America arches a finely shaped brow at the displeasure in Kara's expression and tone. "What are you talking about, Kara?" she says moving in to stand close to the pair. She got Vivian's message loud and clear and is just as approachable as ever. "I can't randomly show up to say 'hi' to an old friend? Especially one I haven't seen in what's it been... couple years?" she asks.

    "Why are we hiding from Donna though?" she asks the Kyrptonian. Her expression turns conspiratorial. "Some surprise party thing to welcome her back from her dream sequence walkabout as a different version of herself?" She gives a quick glance to Wally and then back to Kara. "Come on," she taps her chest lightly. "One non-human to another... keep me in the loop."

Wally West has posed:
"I have nothing to do with this. I would have rather had this been you and me. Just talking no need to gang up on anyone. I was just about to say we can go to the embassy for themyscira and ask them. America just decide to America on her own." Wally says truthfully with no hint of deception. "Everyone calm down, nothing needs to get out of hand."

Vivian Vision has posed:
Given the conversation has turned to Donna and the Amazons it makes sense for Vivian to drop them warnings too. After all Kara was already considering heading out to pick a fight with someone! Perhaps it was an Amazon and if it wasn't before it could well be now...

Wally gets a text alert that just reads. 'I'm in the building if you need additional support'

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara looks over. "Just making sure it's actually random, America. Apparently someone's been spreading misinformation about me, so I'm not the happiest non-human around at the moment. Wally's going to chat with folks about my concerns. And well, I'm going to go express my unhappiness to the person responsible. Have a good one, though, America. Enjoy your pit stop." She turns, red cape swirling a moment, and starts to walk for the exit.

America Chavez has posed:
    America cocks her head and gives a meaningful glance to Wally and then says to Viv almost imperceptably. "Can you lockdown the Tower?" Without waiting for a response she starts after Kara. "Hey, wait up..." she calls to the young woman, taking long strides to catch up (which isn't hard for the 6' tall Fuertonan.) "What do you mean...?" she does her best to impose herself between the exit and Supergirl holding up a hand to stop the Kyrptonian.

    "Who is spreading misinformation? And I'm not deaf Kara; I can tell when someone is looking to tear into someone, I do it enough myself... I just want to make sure you're not going to go 'express your unhappiness' with -unnecessary- violence." That's America for you, all her violence is necessary. All of it. Yep.

Vivian Vision has posed:
Vivian Vision responds via T-comm. Still trying to keep at least some element of surprise. <Not without it getting very loud very quickly. But say the word and it's done.>

Every system she has access to slowly begins firing up. Starting with the least likely to be noticed.

And a selection of pre-prepared warnings go out to emergency services. Partly warning them of a potential disaster zone and partly advising them to stay back until requested. No way the Titans would want the local police blundering into an angry Kryptonian!

Wally West has posed:
"America what are you doing?!" Wally shouts "Kara is just a little stressed and annoyed with the situation it's fine. Kara wouldn't harm anyone she doesn't absolutely nessecary." Wally's tone is now stern and firm. The Flash is talking now. "Isn't that Right Kara. You. won't. hurt. anyone." Wally's body would start to vibrate and speedforce energy would begin to crackle around him.

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara does stop, and looks...well, pissed off is really the only expression to phrase it. "You're gonna try and stop /me/, Bottle Rocket? I don't need your permission for what I do, and I don't need your permission for where to go." Her eyes pick up the glow of her heat vision. "Now. Move."

She hears Wally's voice, but doesn't turn. "No one has to get hurt, Wally. Get the junior varsity Poptart out of my way, and they won't." Her voice has gone decidedly icy.

America Chavez has posed:
    America's face goes stony for a moment as she looks down at the shorter Kryptonian. "You get one," she says holding up a hand with her index finger raised. Her tone is ice. "That was your one. I don't know what's got you going all -la perra- here, but that was the one chance you get with me. If it happens again... well... let's just say I'm not afraid to test Fuertonan against Kryptonian phsyiology."

    Against her better judgement, she steps aside. "Let her go, Flash, Viv." America says, moving into a position she's comfortable with. "If she makes a mistake. we'll be there to put it right and ensure that she doesn't make any others." She keeps her gaze level wth the young woman. "I'm sure she understand that perfectly, don't you, Supergirl." Was that a hint of a question at the monicker labelling her? It might've been.

Vivian Vision has posed:
All in all the situation doesn't dramatically change for Viv. If Kara leaves then she will change the threat level back down to 'Moderate risk' and maintain a high degree of alert looking for the return of any threats. And if a fight starts.. Well then she'll be cranking things up to a level that could be called 'Oh bleep bad things happening now'.

(But isn't because it was probably named by someone a lot more sensible)

And she doesn't reveal herself because... well last time she saw Kara she was really mean. And she'd rather not be compared with an alien laptop again.

Wally West has posed:
"America stand down" Wally commands.

The Flash gets between America and Kara. "Kara if this is the way it's going to go then it's me and you. Just me and you. No one else gets involved. But I believe in you and I don't want to do this so don't make me."

Wally wants to keep this 'in house' to him this is a Titans issue so the titans should handle it. But in the back of his mind Wally starts to wonder if this will rise to the level of needing League intervention.

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara looks amused. "Oh, any time, America. It'll be /fun/." She looks at Wally as he zips in the middle. "Wally, I am just trying to leave the damn Tower. If people let me, there's no problem. If you guys try to keep me against my will...well, then we're going to have a problem. Now. I'm going to take three steps to the right, and then walk out of this place. If everyone's being all superheroey and smart, then I walk out and there's no violence. That's entirely up to YOU folks. But I'm leaving now, and I'm not going to let people stop me."

As promised, she takes her three steps to the right, and starts for the door, apparently planning to walk past Wally and America without incident.

America Chavez has posed:
    America looks at the ginger between her and Kara and snorts. She rolls her eyes. "-Amigo- I only know you by reputation" she says. "You probably don't know me any better. But there are a short list of people I take orders from... you're not on it." She's dimissed Kara from her mind it would seem.

    She turns, and after a few steps, punches another star shaped hole in reality before stepping through onto the Starling Highway to parts beyond. There's a lot she needs to catch up on and one figure in particular she needs to speak with... on a number of matters.

Vivian Vision has posed:
Vivian Vision keeps herself out of the way. Still no need to reveal where she is. Kara might be able to see through her holographic systems but even a Kryptonian can't see something which is totally out of phase with reality. And occupying the same space as a large steel blast door for extra good measure.

The only sign she's even aware of the situation is that the security systems are now more than ready to act but not actually trying to blast anything.

Wally West has posed:
"Fine I'm taking this as your word you won't be hurting anyone. I trust /my friend./" Wally steps aside.

To america now "IF you know me by reputation then you know Who I am." Wally says still heated from the tense moment. Wally gets on comms "I had the situation under control. she was reasonable. yes something is off but She was reasonable." Wally zips back into the tower and sulks at the missed opportunity.

Kara Danvers has posed:
Kara walks outside, and then takes off. She normally holds herself back from full speed. Not today. From dead heat to max speed almost instantly, creating a sonic boom at ground zero for the Tower to express her displeasure. She streaks skywards, a blue and red blur disappearing over the city.
