MOUNT JUSTICE
August 19th, 19:39 EDT

        KATHERINE PRACTICALLY SWAM THROUGH THE AIR ON HER BACK, PAYING NO ATTENTION TO KALDUR AND SUPERBOY'S TRAINING AND M'GANN AND ARTEMIS' DISCUSSION BEHIND HER. Her phone was held tightly in her grasp, glasses resting on her chest as she typed rapidly with one hand, messaging Alexandra, who was stuck at her father house for the next few days. Katherine wished she could have just flown over there, pick Alexandra up and dropped her off at Mount Justice to give her a kinder environment and one not as irritating as her father's home.

After receiving a goodbye text, Alexandra stating that her pizza had arrived, she tucked her phone in her back pocket before letting her hands stay in her jean pockets, eyes focused on the martian and new archer.

           "Oh we were just talking about how cute Wally and Artemis would be together—"

           "Ew, no. We were talking about how disgusting he is."

           M'gann blinked twice at Artemis' reply before shaking her head and continuing to smile brightly with her tone as enthusiastic as always. "Well, Artemis brought up you and Robin and—"
