[In contrast, Kara had accepted the Jump option with glee, giggling on the way down and actually clasping her hands in outright delight when everything clears and she sees the underwater vista. She was out the airlock almost immediately, swooping through the water to the nearby coral reefs, ducking and weaving around the structures, finding it just as easy to move through the water here as it was to move through the air. Much too distracted by the new experience to realize the system had projected her without her glasses, and with her hair down and windblown around her face, Supergirl's hair, although mercifully it had given her a sweater and jeans and the red cape was nowhere to be seen.
Of course none of this was real, but it felt real. She'd visited a dwarf planet once as a child, no land area at all, just one huge ocean with sprawling tunneled and domed cities weaving their way over the ocean floor. It had been the most amazing place she'd ever seen, and she'd been young enough to cry when it had been time for them to leave again. This was so much like that, it was great, how could anyone not love this??
But there was someone, as she swept past one of the wide windows, who looked like he wasn't loving this. Was that Mitch? Was he okay? He didn't look okay.
She glided up to the window and knocked lightly and waved, then zoomed off in a trail of bubbles to the airlock, and she laughed again as she landed inside, perfectly dry, and hurried off to find him.]
Mitch? Hi! This place is cool. What do you think it is, do you think it's a simulation of a real place or is it made up?
[And she sounded her usual cheerful self, but she'd never had a poker face before and she didn't have one now, she was a little worried and it showed on Supergirl's face.]
