Kara returned to the farm in Moon Valley where she grew up, landing in the barn in the back and laying both Utena and Sincara down in the hay as she looked outside the entrance of the barn. Seeing that neither her father's truck nor the lights inside the house were on. Her parents must have been back in town. "They'll be home soon." The Woman of Steel couldn't imagine the emotional ride it must have been for them, for all of them and now she was back. They would have so many questions and Kara wasn't sure how good she'd be able to answer any of them. The afterlife was nothing anyone could have expected. Turning away from the window she looked back to Sincara. "If this doesn't wear off on its own I might have to pay Chloe a visit in Jherrazad."

It felt so weird coming back here. Tori flew into the barn after Kara. Even after all this time the farm hasn't changed one bit. She looked around fondly at the memories of Tori, Kara and the rest of their friends goofing off back here as children. To think of how worried Kara's parents must have been at the possibility of Kara accidentally hurting them while playing but luckily such a thing never occurred. At least as far as Tori can remember. If it was strange for Tori to be back here after rising from the dead then she couldn't imagine how it must have felt to be Kara.
"They'll be home soon."
“Have you thought about what you're going to say to them? Would it be better if I hid away when they get back?”
"If this doesn't wear off on its own I might have to pay Chloe a visit in Jherrazad."
“I still say we should have taken them to a hospital. Let the city adjust to you being back later.” |

Utena stood up, a knife brandished and held in her right hand with a look of murder in her eyes. She was slipping back into old habits only this time she didn't crave the blood of people she saw as laughing at her and her misery. Her eyes looked over Tori, the redhead that looked like her who was now speaking with Kara. The fact she was literally transparent and floating a few inches above the ground didn't seem to register with the girl. All Utena wanted to do was release her rage.
"You look like me," said Utena, slowly drawing closer to the ghost. "Why do you look like me!?"

It was no good Sincara was as paralyzed and useless now as she was back outside of the Isafaro base. Only now she was surrounded by farm animals and hay. If she rolled in a pile of shit someone was getting their ass whipped when she got out of this. Not even her eyes could move, severely limiting her field of vision as she saw Superwoman and Tori speak to one another but not Utena. She could hear the girl however, clearly having gone mad from seeing someone similar in appearance to herself. That was only to be expected. To think about the number of sane minds that were broken in the wake of the realms falling apart could be enough to break your mind as well. That's why Sincara never gave it a moment's thought lest it claimed her sanity as well.

"I haven't actually," replied Kara. "I imagine I'll be able to think of something in the moment." She turned around to face Tori and merely shook her head at Tori's next question. "After they see me a ghost on the farm is going to be the least of their worries."
But the psychopath with a knife? That might concern them a little... Turning to Utena, the Woman of Steel held out her hand and tried to reason with her friend. "Utena, put the knife down." Utena couldn't hurt Tori anymore than she could hurt Kara but that wasn't the point. The point was Utena was losing herself again and could hurt herself or Sincara. Either way the Woman of Steel didn't want to take any chances. "Let's talk about this."

"After they see me a ghost on the farm is going to be the least of their worries."
“Good point.”
"You look like me. Why do you look like me!?"
Tori turned around to see Utena approaching her with a knife in hand. Perhaps another kind of ghost would have laughed at someone coming at them with a knife but Tori was far more concerned with what she could do with that knife to either herself or Sincara rather than what it couldn't and wouldn't do against her or Kara and of course Kara was obviously thinking the same thing.
“I don't know Utena it's not something I'm doing on purpose. It was how we were made and it doesn't take anything away from you. We may look the same, heck if we had a chance to talk we may even find out we have some things in common, but we are both still individuals having a lookalike can't change that. Now please put the knife down. |

"Shut up! Both of you just shut up!"
Utena kept the knife held up and pointed at the both of them, her eyes foolishly daring either one to try anything. They were both working so hard to calm her down, to bring her back from the madness that deep down the girl was actually enjoying their futile attempt to salvage what they could from Utena's shattered mind.
"I'm not putting this down until someone explains to me why some jackass god made us both look the same then allow us to be in the same dimension!"

Sincara could feel the feeling return to her fingers as she moved them against the hay underneath but her hand, arm and the rest of her body was still immovable thanks to the stasis and she remained a clear target if Utena wanted to plunge that knife into someone who could actually bleed when stabbed. Sincara wasn't sure why Superwoman or Tori was wasting time trying to be diplomatic with her. It was clear that Utena had no interest in reason and there was a chance that Darkseid had taken control of her as well but Sincara was unable to tell either of them of that possibility. The Six Shooter was in its holster thanks to the Woman of Steel. If only she had enough feeling in her arm to reach out and grab it.

Seeing that talking would amount to nothing in the end Kara gently created a powerful enough breeze with her Super Breath to blow the knife out of Utena's hand and away from the others before zipping over and holding her in place so she couldn't hurt anyone, especially herself. "Just calm down, Utena. We're going to get through this."

"Shut up! Both of you just shut up!"
Well, so far this was going splendidly...
"I'm not putting this down until someone explains to me why some jackass god made us both look the same then allow us to be in the same dimension!"
“We can't answer that and even if we could is holding up a knife at us really the way you want to get the answers?”
Kara literally blew the knife out of Utena's hand and then grabbed her while Tori looked over to Sincara in time to see her fingers were moving.
“Kara!”
Tori levitated over to Sincara and watched her fingers.
“I think she's starting to come out of it.” |

"Yes it--!"
Before Utena could finish her reply to Tori she felt her knife blown out of her hand and she began to panic. She went for the knife but the instant she turned around Kara had already grabbed her.
"No! Let me go! NO!"
Utena began kicking and screaming, using all of her strength to break out of Kara's grip. Only problem was there's no way you're doing with Superwoman what she doesn't want done. The end result saw Utena exhaust herself to the point where she couldn't fight back against Kara's hold.

For the time being the situation with Utena was under control but unless Superwoman planned to hold her for eternity she was going to have to put her somewhere. This allowed Sincara to focus more on regaining control of her body as the stasis began to slowly wear off. After this development caught the attention of the ghost Sincara would hear a name uttered she didn't immediately recognize. Kara. There were only four of them and Sincara doubt the redhead was talking to Utena. Was that the name of the Woman of Steel? Kara? How foolish of the ghost to shout out her real name right there in front of witnesses. Though it didn't look like the blonde had much of a secret identity if she didn't even bother to wear a mask it was a foolish thing to do regardless
The feeling that came back in her fingers soon spread to the rest of her hand as now she could move her entire hand. Scratching the inside of her palm with her fingers. At this rate the reversal of the stasis was going to be a long, tasking experience by the time she's finally out of it. If Darkseid decided to return she was finished.

"Not until you calm down." Kara never let up her hold on Utena even after she tired herself down and couldn't fight her anymore. She kept her held perfectly still as she turned her head and looked over to where Tori was now next to Sincara seeing the girl's hand move. "Stay with her, Tori. I'm going to have a private chat with Utena." Kara flew up to her loft above the barn and finally released her hold on Utena as she looked at her, ready to block her path if she tried to return down to the barn. "How are you feeling?"

Tori didn't even stop to consider that she was calling Superwoman by her real name in front of a stranger who didn't know her identity. It just came out naturally in the wake of all this excitement. She barely had any time to analyze anything that was going on.
"Stay with her, Tori. I'm going to have a private chat with Utena."
“All right.”
Tori watched Kara take Utena up to her loft up above and then turned back to Sincara.
“It's going to be okay. Just whatever you're doing, keep doing it. It'll be over before you know it.” |

"Trapped," replied Utena.
Utena was finally free but inside this loft was a large blue and red elephant who still had a choke hold on where she could go. Utena looked over to the stairs that led down from the loft and then the window, not sure how far down it went but she was sure if she tried for either exit Kara would stop her before she could make much of an advance. She was stronger, faster and immune to pain. Fair must have been on vacation.
"You can't keep me up here forever. Sooner or later someone, somewhere, is going to get into trouble and you'll have to go save them. I'll just wait. The way this world has gone so far I'm sure it'll only be a couple of minutes now."
