Well all the other DC series are running on the CW...
"Fortress of Solitude" was such a dumb name. It might as well be called "Lord of the Ringforest" or "I'll never get to touch a girl before I die." But even so, there was some appeal to the idea of having a place to go where nothing could reach. And after a day like today, Kara figured she deserved to see what all the fuss was about.
It was stupid school drama, that she knew shouldn't have been bothersome. And yet... When Mr. Tall, Tanned, and Country decided that he'd rather go out with some willowy brunette who couldn't defend himself, things twisted and ground together in a spectacularly unpleasant arrangement. Kara wasn't even sure why she'd bothered caring in the first place.
But still, it was an incredibly isolating experience. She was too strong to be attractive. Too different to fit in. Too... alien. So maybe she belonged where aliens went when they were stressed out. It was still midday, barely after lunch. Clark would still be at work. He wouldn't notice a trespasser, probably.
Kara just needed to curl up a little bit, to cry while surrounded by the ghosts of things that reminded her of home.
