"I'm a trained commercial telepath— you know, sit in on business negotiations, make sure both parties are honest and accountable to one another." It was the bullshit job to end all bullshit jobs, but it was the only one available to her for a while, and as ways of making a living in the Corps went, it was one of the less annoying ones. "I can also do forensic work, though I switched over to commercial after a real bad time on a job, so I'm not as experienced in that area. Will it be an issue that I don't have a current license?"
❛ If you mean to harm me, I must warn you whatever you’re hiding, it won’t be enough. ❜
@constable
Wow, that quick? Lyta snorts, backing up a little. Is he a telepath? He must be, if he's that wary of her already. How could he tell, otherwise? "I'm not gonna harm you," she says, raising her hands in mock surrender, before carefully reaching out to see just who, and what, he is.

When you explained ruin's design you showed a small short comic, the shopkeeper alien knew ruin because of a poster that was behind him. Was there now many posts about ruin?
was ruin known by many dimensions people after ruin killed many dimensions, or something else?
Ruin was a threat to planets at first while he was in war and looking for the Wither Shard. It wasn’t until his escape from V-42 (his dimension) that he became a multiversal threat. Even then, his story reached very far.
Some of the writings and posters that have made it across the universe - and eventually, dimensions:
minor tw: fictional t3rrorism mention and war topics such as propoganda.
#1 - The Broadcasts
Não (Ruin’s Creator) films Ruin with a pre-written script of warnings, commands, and information about the war that is going on, and how it will end. These repeated constantly, 24/7, across any and every screen that wasn’t visibly corrupted for fear mongering effect.
Civilians did not run from these broadcasts. They stayed. Because every once in a while, the televisions would change with announcements from the same cloaked figure to command them to safety.
This video is often used to show the severity of Ruin’s existence. It’s physical evidence against him and is treated somewhat like “lost footage” or “analogue horror” by worlds that don’t take it seriously…that is, until Ruin pays their planet a visit.
#2 - Propoganda
One of the main posters that are thrown across the post-apocolyptic world. A call for remaining humans to surrender themselves for some greater plan, though many didn’t agree. Though, Não did his best to suffocate the survivors with constant propoganda.
#3 - Wanted Poster
This poster is released after Ruin’s departure for the Wither Shard. The earth, with Não and Ruin is monitored by refugees and other extraterrestrials for a while. The situation severely escalates when the most dangerous solider gets pushed onto a mission to hunt for a shard to extend The Creator’s reach. It becomes a hunting mission very quickly. Civilians are told to hide, fighters are told to always be at arms. If they can stop Ruin from completing his mission, they can stop Não from reaching to other planets, then other dimensions. What they didn’t know was that Ruin was sabatoging his own mission half the time while keeping himself alive.
Ruin eventually completes his mission - to everyone’s dismay - and returns back. This poster gets pushed into other dimensions, as a warning to watch out for him. It didn’t get out fast enough because Ruin had gotten to his plan to erase a string of dimensions. Since then, the multiverse has heard complete radio silence from the Sole Survivor of V-42.

plots please!
“The Soul That Refused to Burn”
Theme: Redemption, cosmic entanglement, chosen bonds Setting: New York, post-blackout, centered around the diner and the Vormir-linked portal
Luc stumbles through the diner’s corridor during a moment of existential unraveling — called by the portal not by accident, but design. Something ancient recognizes something in him: a fracture, a buried truth, a resonance. He doesn’t fall through; he’s invited.
Aisling meets Luc when the portal opens mid-quiet morning rush and deposits him at her feet, bleeding but eerily composed. He brushes off injury, but she senses something eldritch about him — something watching, something speaking in silence. She’s seen it before. In the mirror. In the reflection of the stone.
The Soul Stone stirs at Luc’s presence. It wants to know him. So does Aisling.
They both pretend to be fine. They both aren’t.
Their bond begins as necessity — two people marked by cosmic hands forced to work together to understand the erratic behavior of the Vormir portal. But slowly, Aisling realizes that Luc might be the first person who truly understands what it means to be a vessel. To be used by something greater, yet never consumed.
And Luc? He finds something dangerous in her softness. In the way she still tries to save things, even after everything she’s lost. He tells himself he’s staying for the portal. But it’s Aisling he keeps returning to.
“The Witch Who Spoke the Stone’s Name”
Theme: Mythic intimacy, forbidden knowledge, healing through chaos Setting: Ireland (return visit), deep ancestral magic territory
After discovering the portal’s irregular surges link to emotional trauma in its immediate vicinity, Aisling and Luc decide to trace her past — to go back to where it started. Vormir’s hold didn’t begin in New York; it began the moment she was offered.
They return to Ireland under the pretense of research, but the land is thick with ghosts — not literal, but lingering ones. The village remembers the storm. It remembers Moira. And it remembers her.
Luc stands beside her as the villagers keep their distance. He sees how heavy the memory is, how violently it tugs at her edges. And something primal in him doesn’t like it — the way they look at her. The way they fear her when they should be thanking her.
But what begins as a healing pilgrimage turns darker when a forgotten altar awakens — an echo of Vormir itself built into a faerie ring sealed by Lucia, the woman who once saved her. Luc is almost taken by the altar — because the Stone wants to trade again.
Aisling intervenes.
And this time, Luc isn’t the one sacrificed. But he doesn’t come out unscathed.
“Heir to the Dead Sky”
Theme: Found family, resistance, post-Endgame consequences Setting: Multiverse spillover; the diner as resistance HQ
Luc finds purpose in Aisling’s strange little diner-that-isn’t-just-a-diner — the way it houses refugees from broken timelines, displaced beings, and fractured magic. He becomes protector, watcher, occasional bouncer when Bridgertons from the wrong century get rowdy. It’s a role he wears well, even if he pretends he doesn’t care.
But he does. Especially about the girl who keeps pretending she doesn’t carry godhood in her bones.
When a rogue agency—founded by remnants of the Company of V and multiversal scavengers—begins hunting those who’ve passed through the diner’s portal, Aisling and Luc are forced to defend more than just each other. They become symbols. Leaders of the last safe house for people fate forgot.
Luc’s connection to Aisling intensifies as the portal begins reacting to them, not just those in need. The Vormir tether doesn’t just recognize Aisling anymore. It recognizes what they are together.

Gonna make full use of my ‘comic rant’ tag and roast Future State: Superwoman.
Spoilers! And yelling! Of the disgruntled kind!
So a few things at the start here: 1.) I wanted to love this book. I wanted it to be great. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt, in spite of some iffy stuff in the solicit text. So this rant is not coming from a place of having decided this was going to be awful ahead of time. 2.) My tolerance for bad Supergirl comics is pretty high! Takes a lot for me to actually come out and say that a particular issue is trash. Reader: This story is trash.
It’s not ‘middle-aged white guys writing/drawing a story about sending a minor to a potentially hostile planet fully nude’ trash, mind you. It’s the compost bin, rather than the landfill. Slightly nicer trash, but it still stinks to high heaven. Allow me to expand!
PROLOGUE - SUMMARY: ...I actually can’t summarize this comic b/c it would devolve into a lot of senseless yelling. We’ll just have to tease out this terrible plot as we go along.
PART I - DEAD DOGS TELL BAD TALES: The comic opens with Kara standing at Krypto’s grave. That’s not why this comic is trash, but it bears mentioning. Because why. Why would you do this.
PART II - IN WHICH IT ONLY GETS WORSE: So, Kara has a running inner monologue, and the main thing we gather from Kara’s thoughts is that it was Krypto who taught her to be a hero. On paper, that sounds very sweet! In practice, it reads as Kara having no moral center whatsoever—whatever good qualities she might possess, she did not learn from her parents, or her foster parents, or friends, or fellow heroes. Nor do they come from within Kara herself. Nope, t’was Krypto who taught Kara not to be a jealous rage monster. That is not hyperbole--Kara’s walking around angry about her cousin all the time and she’s like, ‘It was you, Krypto, who taught me not to judge, and to let go of anger.’ Listen, I love Krypto, but this? This is, as the youth would say, a bad look.
PART III - THOSE CERTAINLY ARE...SOME THEMES: The set-up here is that Kara is on the moon, and has established a sanctuary for alien refugees. That’s a dynamite idea! I love that! Buuuuut Kara didn’t look at the plight of alien refugees and say, ‘I want to help!’ Really, she didn’t even look at herself and say, ‘I don’t want others to feel like I’ve felt.’ No, she said, ‘Earth won’t accept me as a hero, and Clark didn’t name me protector of Earth, so. I’m out!’ (Honestly, if your moral compass is so whack that you need a dog to walk you back from Hulk-Smashing...can’t say I blame Clark for not picking you, Kara!) But apparently, the people on the moon don’t really like her either. And it is literally never explained why. There’s a whole montage of Kara fixing stuff and saving lives and all the moon folk just glare at her. This makes both the moon people AND Kara look like a**holes, because they come across as ungrateful, and she comes across as a glory hound. Thanks! I hate it! So the ‘peace’ Kara’s found on the moon isn’t really peaceful at all, cause she still resents her cousin, and people still don’t like her, in spite of the fact that she’s constantly performing acts of service for them.
Also, side note, I’m just now realizing this is an entire population of alien refugees...and Kara is somehow still the odd one out. Like, Earth I get, because everyone else is a human and maybe freaked out by the super powers. But a bunch of aliens? WHY. Why did you do this. Why did this need to be set on the moon with alien refugees if you’re not going to interrogate Kara’s identity as an alien refugee herself AND all of the aliens are inexplicably humanoid in appearance and utterly ordinary in terms of power levels.
Like. This is not the CW show, where they have a budget, and a huge ensemble cast to serve. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. AAARRRRRGHHHH.
PART III CONT’D: There’s also this weird ‘birthright’ element introduced...like, Clark and Jon stole Kara’s ‘right’ to be earth’s defender which is...a terrible reading of Kara’s modern origin. It brings in the idea that Kara is a ‘chosen one’ and because she didn’t get to be that chosen one, all of her hero work is for nothing. Never mind the whole central conceit of what makes Clark and Kara heroic...that they have this incredible power, and choose to do good with it. Nah...it’s all about her ‘right’ to protect the people of Earth! And mean ol’ Clark took that away! THANKS. I HATE IT.
PART IV - A POOR USE OF SPACE: So, all of the Future State books kind of struggle with the issue of too much exposition, which is understandable. They have to introduce an entirely new status quo in a very limited amount of literal page space, so you *really* have to have a handle on how you allocate your time and focus.
Introducing a brand new, lore-heavy heroic character who gets all of the development and dynamic art and pulls focus away from the character you’re meant to be writing is a bad use of a two issue limited series.
Like, this is a crappy Supergirl comic but it’s a great backdoor pilot for a Lynari ongoing, I guess.
Imagine if in the Jon Superman book, they introduced a random, brand new best friend for Jon, and he got the big character arc instead of Jon. That’s something you save for an arc in an ongoing title, NOT A TWO ISSUE EVENT COMIC.
Back to said new character, there’s a lot of forced attempts to parallel Kara and Lynari, but Lynari’s backstory is so confusing, rushed, and poorly explained that it’s like: okay, they’re both...angry? And the moon jerks hate them? ...uh. Okay.
(I’m gonna bring back my ‘why is this set on the moon, even’ question so that my ‘poor use of space’ header becomes a better joke.)
PART V - I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO...B/C THERE SURE AIN’T ONE HERE: I’ve already mentioned that Krypto was apparently Kara’s conscience so when Lynari’s aunt arrives to...kill them? (again, everything about Lynari’s backstory is rushed and poorly explained) Kara gets real mad and basically pulls a Gothel: ‘You want me to be the bad guy? Fine! Now I’m the bad guy.’ But thank goodness Lynari is there to tell Kara no! Don’t murder the giant aunt eel! Lynari then steals Kara’s powers and gives up the swamp jewel that’s been hidden inside their body and now their aunt is less murder-y!
WOW. Couldn’t even give the big damn hero moment to Kara in her own book, huh?
So the day is saved. It takes Kara a while to regain her powers, and it’s only then, when she’s no longer ‘above’ the moon jerks, that they’re like, ‘oh, we like her!’ There is a bit of narration about how that attitude is awful. But that narration is provided by Lynari. See, the inner monologue is no longer Kara’s thoughts, but rather it has switched to Lynari’s point of view. They’re telling us this story. And do you know why?
PART VI - WHY THIS COMIC *SUCKS*: KARA DIES. SHE’S THE FRIGGIN’ ‘SECOND GRAVE’ OF THE TITULAR ‘TWO GRAVES’
Fudge this comic to heck.
See, Kara dies on the moon, presumably of old age. She’s buried next to Krypto. And this random character who we’re suddenly supposed to care about tells us her story. Not Clark. Not the Danvers. Not Brainy. Not even one of the supporting cast members from her solo title. No one from Kara’s life is mentioned at all, save for Jon and Clark, and they’re pretty much relegated to flashbacks of Kara punching them.
PART VII - TIME TO COMPARE DEATHS, I GUESS: First and foremost can I just say that I hate that’s a sentence that I’m typing about Kara in the year of our lord, 2021. But okay: Kara’s big famous death in Crisis stopped the entire DC universe cold. Everyone paused in the middle of the destruction of the multiverse to mourn her loss and honor her (GENUINELY HEROIC) sacrifice. Clark and Barbara--two established characters with a strong connection/relationship to Kara--offered lovely eulogies.
This one: Kara gets to die of old age in obscurity after a lifetime of striving to be recognized and only achieving it by de-powering and serving a population of jerks.
Not the warm and fuzzy ending you think it is!
(Meanwhile, Clark lives for millennia and spawns an entire dynasty of Els, all of ‘em out there, protecting the cosmos. I was looking forward to House of El in the hopes of maybe seeing some Kara stuff but NOPE. Thanks to Superwoman, we’re probably not gonna see any future Kara stuff beyond this! G R E A T)
And like, the argument could be made that this ending makes Kara happy. This is the life she chooses! She wants to be alone and garden on the moon! Except, we get zero insight from Kara regarding the remainder of her life. We only have Lynari’s narration and some montage shots...nearly all of which focus on other characters. But honestly, even if we did get Kara’s side of things, I doubt it would shed much light on her feelings, bEEECAUSE...
PART VIII - SUPER BLAND: This Kara really has no personality outside of ‘detached and vaguely bitter.’ I like Sauvage, I think she’s an incredibly talented artist, but here, Kara is stiff and her expression often reads as aloof. She’s very pretty, but it comes at the expense of being expressive. (And I know Sauvage can do expressive stuff...because Lyanari gets to be expressive.) Like...I love that shojo manga vibe but this is a Kara devoid of spark and warmth.
...Like...Melissa Benoist’s portrayal of Kara is right there...
I’ve already sort of touched on this but her inner monologue doesn’t have much personality either. She’s just parroting the same, ‘I need to do as Krypto taught me!’ nonsense for both issues. Until, of course, we shift to Lynari’s narration, and lose Kara’s thread entirely.
PART IX - LET’S WRAP THIS UP: This book frustrates me to no end because it had a lot of stuff going for it. It’s got a female writer and artist--still a rarity for the Supergirl book--it’s a limited series mostly free of continuity and character baggage, and it’s not tied down to the grimdark cyberpunk stuff happening in the Gotham books. YOU COULD’VE DONE ANYTHING. And, once again, DC goes with a pitch that’s: Kara is angry, Kara resents Clark...and Kara dies.
It’s also happening...right as Kara has no dedicated ongoing title, the movie’s been shelved, the TV show is entering its sixth and final season, and all promotion has shifted to new CW and HBO shows.
*screams into the void*
MAAAAAAN I hate this book. I hate that it retroactively makes me hate the Andreyko run a little bit--a run that I took to be about a traumatized young woman forced to confront her grief, and who leans on a beloved animal companion for comfort. Here, Krypto is L I T E R A L L Y the reason Kara’s not constantly frying folks with her heat vision.
I hate that this book has made me use the word ‘literally’ so much in this rant.
I hate that this could possibly be more in continuity than Millennium.
Remember Millennium? Where Kara was in like...five pages? And she was warm, and kind, and promised to help Rose because it was the right thing to do, and oh yes, WAS PRESIDENT OF EARTH?!??! AND A CLASSY OLD LADY!?!?!?!?! WHO WAS STILL ALIVE AND KICKIN’ IN THE FAR FLUNG FUTURE!?!?!?!?!
I hate that I’m using my lunch hour to rant about how much I hate this comic.
I hate that DC editorial seems hell-bent on erasing the interesting aspects of Kara’s character to sand her down to ‘the angry one’ or ‘Batman 2.0′
PART X - LET’S END ON SOME (?) POSITIVES: Don’t read this book! Don’t do it! Don’t waste your time and money!
Instead, check out ANYTHING ELSE. If you want mom!Kara, read Tom Taylor’s ‘Last Daughters of Krypton’ in the DC Nuclear Winter special. If you want heroic oldlady!Kara, read Millennium. Honestly? Pick up anything by Bendis that has Supergirl in it. It is miles away better than this. You want angry Kara working through her grief? Andreyko, Red Lantern, even Infected. ANYTHING BUT THIS. HECK, grab Superman of Metropolis instead! That has bad Kara characterization but at least she doesn’t end up dead.
Anyways. This comic is bad. I wish it wasn’t! And this is now the SECOND TIME IN A ROW that Kara’s book ends on a terrible note before the character disappears from monthly comics for an unknown period of time.
*screams into the void again*

Vrains = Arc V continuation?
So despite having only 5 episodes out I’m already using the previous Yugioh series to speculate on this one.
So I read somewhere that there was an Xyz monster showing up in the background of a vrains episode, and several people are comparing Link Summoning to Xyz summoning. I got fed up with Arc-V before it ended, but I heard that it concluded with the four dimensions still separated. Which brings me to my theory:
Den City is located in the Xyz dimension. The first episode of Vrains takes place between 7-50 years after the finale of Arc-V
I know I don’t have a lot to back this up, but it’d be very interesting as a twist AND provide a ton of potential plots.
For example, the Knights of Hanoi are probably going to turn out to be a bunch of Well Intentioned Extremists because this is yugioh why not, but wouldn’t it be interesting if it turned out that Cyverse draws on natural/dimensional energy or could connect to other dimensions? All of a sudden Hanoi’s violence makes more sense- from their perspective they’re trying to protect their world, while SOL Technology’s greed is doing something that threatens everyone just to make money. Of course by this point Leo Akaba lost power- Fusion isn’t going to invade anyone, and SOL Tech has accepted this fact. You wind up with a conflict where Hanoi is clearly in the wrong, but those characters are also relatable, as they refuse to accept that there is no big bad monster from another world they’re protecting everyone from.
Plus this gives us a chance to explore this dimension in ways that ARC-V failed to. We never got to see how the Xyz dimension fought back against the invasion, but we can see how the Xyz dimension is recovering.
Was Den City originally just a large refugee camp/resistance base that prospered and flourished after the invasion, or was it rebuilt? How do they remember those they lost? How long ago did the events of Arc-V take place? What happened to the Fusion dimension after Leo Akaba left? Have the dimensions been communicating?
Do the people living there take pride in building a beautiful new city out of the ashes of destruction, or are they proud to have survived and resisted destruction? Is there a national/global/city-wide holiday that’s their equivalent of what Holocaust Remembrance Day is in Israel? Do any of Yusaku’s classmates remember hiding in fear as small children, or is it mostly people like Revolver’s father who have nightmares of fighting and dying as teenage soldiers? Is the Fusion dimension regretting its actions, like Post-Nazi Germany, or do they try to pretend the invasion never happened? Did any other dimensions lend any resources to the Xyz dimension for rebuilding, and did the Xyz dimension’s major government thank them or did they decide to become more isolationist in order to focus their efforts on recovery, and out of a well-deserved fear of another attack?
Also, making this show be about a recovering Xyz dimension would draw parallels between the main character and his opponents. Yusaku clearly has a dark past, which might have involved being helpless or mostly helpless while somebody else trapped him and hurt him. But judging from the direction of Episode 5, this story will be about him recovering emotionally, coming out of his shell and learning to move on, and/or getting closure. Likewise, his world is recovering from something horrible. If I’m right, the Knights of Hanoi could be a representation of the fear of being hurt after a trauma, of the survival instincts that have been fine-honed and sharpened in order to survive nigh-impossible odds, and now can’t let go of that when it’s no longer necessary. SOL Technologies could represent the bravery to move on, the knowledge that poking the wound will keep it from healing and you need to be willing to let go if you want to live life to its fullest.
We’re only five episodes in, but so far Yusaku has been at his hardest when dealing with Hanoi, and his obsession with fighting them is not only driving him but dictating his life. They are directly responsible for his fear of dragging innocents into his life (for fear they’d get hurt). Meanwhile SOL Technologies are the people who sent someone to fight Yusaku in a duel that let Yusaku enjoy a duel, for what’s implied to be the first time in a long while. Indirectly, they are responsible for giving him something he’d lost in his life. It’d be interesting if both groups were made up of people who live by the same principals they inspire in Yusaku.
I think it’s a long shot, and I’m too jaded to hope that the show won’t ignore 99% of the follow-up questions even if my theory is true, but I still have some hope that my basic theory might become reality. After all, Arc-V didn’t show any sign of referencing the old series beyond their major summoning methods for over 30 episodes, and as far as I know the franchise seems to still be trying to make it so that all of the TV shows take place in the same multiverse (except for Season 0). Continuing that trend would, above all, make Vrains a real successor to Arc-V’s deconstruction and darkness.

Lyta needed a minute upon hearing that. She'd always known her ability as something tightly regulated and controlled, something tolerated for its usefulness because the alternative was being considered a threat. But here, the kind of regulatory infrastructure that she'd been brought up to revere seemed nonexistent.
"...So do you not have widespread telepathy here, or are you just unusually okay with treating us like people and not sentient listening devices."
She supposed she should be happy? If nothing else, she was finally free of the Corps for good. That in itself was worth celebrating. But she was too preoccupied with the bigger picture. No widespread telepathic presence meant no Vorlon interference, which meant no war with the Shadows, which meant...
Which meant nothing she'd ever given her life to existed here.
She suddenly felt very dizzy, and was thankful that she'd already sat down. "I think I need a glass of water," she said.
❛ If you mean to harm me, I must warn you whatever you’re hiding, it won’t be enough. ❜
@constable
Wow, that quick? Lyta snorts, backing up a little. Is he a telepath? He must be, if he's that wary of her already. How could he tell, otherwise? "I'm not gonna harm you," she says, raising her hands in mock surrender, before carefully reaching out to see just who, and what, he is.

Ow. He wasn't just blocking her— he was completely impervious. She'd never experienced anything like that before in her life, and she used to scan aliens for a living. She felt like she'd just run at full speed into a brick wall. Never doing that again, she thought, breaking off any attempt to scan him as soon as she realized it wasn't going to bear fruit, and was in fact making him even more suspicious of her.
"Here as in on this station, or in your office?" she asked. The answer would be the same either way— she didn't really have any other place to go, and somehow, she'd ended up here. As such, she needed help getting settled, and the office of the chief of security was a good place to start.
Fuck it, she thought, guess I'm going to have to do the whole spiel. Honesty's the best policy or something. "I'm a telepath. And I've never seen anything like you before in my life, so I was trying to figure out what you were, just so I'd know what to expect... except it didn't actually work— how did you do that, by the way? Usually when someone's blocking me I can tell, but with you, it's like banging my head against a wall."

He didn't have a brain. That was the most obvious possible answer he could have given, and it explained everything. "Neither do I, apparently," she muttered, thumping her head in exasperation. "Sorry. Was that offensive? Anyway, I'm here on this station because I happened to end up here, and don't have anywhere else to go. And I'm here in your office because I figured the best thing to do would be to let you know right away that I'm not a danger to anyone and could use some help getting settled here."

She began the form, and immediately hit a snag.
Name: Lyta Alexander
Species:
She paused on that. Could she even be called human after how much she'd been altered? Hell, telepaths were barely considered human at all where she came from.
Species: Human Telepath
That would have to do.
"I've got a credit account," she said. "I'm not rich, but I don't expect charity. And I'm willing to sell my services if need be."
