khajidontJaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...
"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."
"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Date: 2015-08-13 09:17 am (UTC)[He hadn't yelled, hadn't flown away, but there'd been a distinct air that Jaime had done something wrong.
Superman manages to seem like a disapproving parent while in blue and red spandex. It's a talent.]
audio
Date: 2015-08-15 05:44 am (UTC)[ The word comes out a little tersely; it's uncomfortable for her to admit she can feel that level of fear, because it means having to admit it aloud to herself. ]
That sort of power is frightening to Superman and I. For me, the fact there was something that can make me feel weak and powerless... I don't have a good track record with things like that.
[ She's been powerless before and hurt as a result. It's a sickening feeling.
But she knows Jaime never intended for any of this. ]
The more I think about it, that's an awful burden on you.
audio
Date: 2015-08-15 10:36 am (UTC)[It's a quiet utterance, but one that's blankly surprised, anyway. Jaime really hadn't considered much beyond his own dishonesty through omission; in all honesty, Superman and Power Girl being scared by anything isn't something that crossed his mind.]
I really wasn't ever planning on using it, on any of you, [he feels the need to clarify, though he's said as much already.]
And it's fine, really. It's... not that much more than everything else. You of all people know the drill.
audio
Date: 2015-08-17 07:45 am (UTC)I'm not sure my concern was it being you in the end. [ This part is a bit awkward to admit as well, though it warrants questioning: ] No one can ever extract that ability from you, can they?
audio
Date: 2015-08-17 09:38 pm (UTC)I don't know, Power Girl. Nobody's ever tried. But there are more people than just you who're worried about my powers, and -- and Booster knows pretty much everything there is to know. Isn't that good enough?
audio
Date: 2015-08-18 12:00 am (UTC)... I think so. [ Well, outside of enemies from their potential corner of the universe, who else is ever going to figure out Blue Beetle's got the arsenal to hurt the likes of Superman and Power Girl? That alone should be enough to assure her. ] I'm sorry for all this.
audio
Date: 2015-08-18 03:33 am (UTC)[His feelings were hurt by the whole ordeal, certainly, but it's not terribly difficult to forgive Power Girl. He just can't help but wonder what she thinks of him now.]
So... are we cool now?

Date: 2015-08-18 09:05 am (UTC)[He hasn't got the gift of gab that his predecessor had.]
audio
Date: 2015-08-18 10:08 am (UTC)[ Oh, Jaime. She doesn't know if she wants you to change ever. ]
Whatever hang-ups I have I'll get over it.
audio
Date: 2015-08-18 05:50 pm (UTC)...can I ask what made you change your mind?
audio
Date: 2015-08-19 06:40 am (UTC)audio
Date: 2015-08-19 07:37 am (UTC)You know, I would. I didn't think you'd go to him to talk about something like this.
audio
Date: 2015-08-19 07:46 am (UTC)audio
Date: 2015-08-19 08:07 am (UTC)Yeah. We're friends too. He was right person to talk to.
[Don't ask Hal!]
audio
Date: 2015-08-19 11:36 am (UTC)I know I wasn't in the right with how I acted. We all have powers we didn't ask for or could accidentally hurt someone with. I should know better.
audio
Date: 2015-08-19 07:25 pm (UTC)audio
Date: 2015-08-19 09:28 pm (UTC)But it's a bit different for me. I was already an adult when I came to Earth and had my powers in check. Beyond breaking some machines when anyone ran tests on me.
audio
Date: 2015-08-20 03:50 am (UTC)[Karen isn't older than Clark is, and he knows that Krypton was destroyed. She must have wound up on another planet.]
audio
Date: 2015-08-22 01:51 am (UTC)[ Of course Jaime wouldn't know. Hell, she's not always so sure herself. In her universe two ships left Krypton before its demise; Kal-L's and hers. Kal's arrived much earlier while she was adrift for years. ]
Depends on which Earth you mean.
audio
Date: 2015-08-22 05:16 am (UTC)[He had assumed that they were from the same universe. Are they not? What's going on? He could ask an intelligent question, or...]
I'm confused.
audio
Date: 2015-08-22 05:48 am (UTC)The short version is I'm from a parallel universe.
audio
Date: 2015-08-22 06:09 am (UTC)[ALTERNATE UNIVERSES. Good lord.]
Maybe I need to update my chart.
audio
Date: 2015-08-22 06:21 am (UTC)audio
Date: 2015-08-22 06:32 am (UTC)[He's curious. Of course he's curious, but he also assumes that her presence here means something like, and we were all ruled by megalomaniac giant venomous snakes that feasted on the flesh of the innocent or whoops everything got destroyed or quite possibly and I fled a band of Kryptonite wielding samurai who wanted to use my remains for worship.
He's come to expect the worst when it comes to others' pasts, especially when alternate universes enter the equation. So instead of prying right after they made up, he says,] Well, I hope you like it here, at least. I mean, home.
...my old home, your new home. Sorry, I feel like I should have more lingo for talking about parallel universe junk by now.
