Kara Danvers has posed:
    Supergirl drops out of high speed, well over the Arctic, where the spectacular crystalline structure that is the Fortress of Solitude is, below them.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
It's amazing. It's gorgeous. Monet St. Croix can only stare in complete awe and wonderment. Looking about in total astonishment. Whispering a few words in Arabic of complete amazement and majesty.
    "It's.. So beautiful."

Kara Danvers has posed:
    Supergirl smiles. "It's Kryptonian." she says, and then flies down, where there's a massive sparkling golden gateway. It opens, as Supergirl approaches, and she flies inside, before placing boot gently to the floor, as she looks over to Monet. "This is...well, it's the only real part of Krypton left. I mean, there are people, but this place...this is home, in a lot of ways."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would nod softly, "I see. It is.. Gorgeous. Amazing.. Unique." She goes to hum a few musical chords. And the soft hum echos through the air and transforms, and she looks about in awe. "Thank you for taking me into your home. You did not have to do this." Her tone gentle. "And I will do everything I can to remain worthy of this trust."

Kara Danvers has posed:
    "I wanted you to see it." Kara says, nodding about. "That's my uncle Jor-El and my aunt Lara." She says, as she indicates the statues, before she gestures, a little excitedly. "Come on. I'll show you more."

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would look over at hte two statues, giving a soft bow to each. "Thank you. This means so much to me. I do not think that I have been anywhere as beautiful in my life." Her offering her hand along to Kara to squeeze it.

Kara Danvers has posed:
One of the largest levels of the Fortress contains an array of habitat enclosures where Superman has preserved the remnants of a number of now-thought-extinct species from around the Earth and beyond. Each habitat has its own controllable climate, which is administered by the Fortress's central computer, and the animals and plants are tended by robotic servitors. Across from the habitats is a museum-like gallery of impossibilities, gathered during Kal-El and his family's adventures. These have not been collected as trophies so much as thrust into the Fortress's care by circumstance: some are relics of Krypton itself, some are weapons too dangerous for their existence to be known, and some are simply secrets entrusted to Superman and hidden away over the years. None are publicly known; only Superman, his immediate family, and those he fully entrusts with access to the Fortress are aware of their existence and their location.

Kara Danvers has posed:
    Kara smiles. "Oh, come on...you haven't seen anything yet!" She'll excitedly take Monet into the gallery itself, where robots zip about, tending to the relics, animals, and plants of the known galaxy.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would be tuggeda long like a girl at the zoo, her friend skipping ahead. The enthusiasm is infectious, and Monet goes to let out a very, very soft giggle of glee. Getting to see everything that she's never imagined she could ever touch.

Kara Danvers has posed:
    Kara smiles, walking along, and pointing out the various things in the gallery to Monet. She tells what she knows, about birds that flew over alien skies, flowers that no human has ever smelled...until now, and reveling in sharing the wonders of the Fortress with her.

Monet St. Croix has posed:
Monet St. Croix would let herself be lead along, enjoying the thrills. Committing everything to memory. After all, she might never be back here. So she wants to treasure each and every moment of it. Each experience. Each bit of knowledge. Each moment of euphoria and happiness. Her hand gently squeezing Kara's, letting herself be lead along.
