Aminee Starlight was alone in her two bedroom apartment in her living room, a reading lamp over her head as she moved the pen in her hand across the piece of paper in her lap. Writing down the lyrics for the next song she was working on. Tomorrow she had a meeting with several people about setting up concert dates and making an album. Her voice and appearance helping her through it just as they did back home. Kari had never seen a major music sensation before and she was itching to be the first, itching to get her life back.
A knock at her door pulled Aminee away from the piece of paper, putting it up by the table in front of the couch before standing up and heading over to the door. It was late in the evening and Aminee wasn't expecting company. She peeked through the peephole and looked shocked at what she saw on the other side of it before unlocking her door and opening it.

Kara was visiting Kari with Tori and a couple of other friends when she decided to take a detour and came to the apartment complex she was told Aminee was located. As far as Kara was aware Aminee didn't know she had returned from the dead the former god and Woman of Steel decided it was only nice to let her know in person. Knocking on Aminee's door, Kara crossed her arms in front of her chest and waited for the door to open. Her eyes looking into the Pop Idol's as the former Woman of Steel found herself unable to say anything as she merely looked at Aminee in silence.

Aminee wrapped her arms around Kara to embrace her, tears of joy dripping down her cheeks in tiny drops of tears while guiding Kara back into her apartment closing the door behind them. The Pop Idol looked towards Kara at several moments while going over to the couch with her, still not believing her own two eyes. She pinched her arm to make sure she wasn't dreaming and when Kara was still here sat back down on the couch with her. "How is this possible?"

Kara returned the hug and allowed Aminee to lead her back into her apartment, sitting down next to her on the couch she led her to and heard the question, the question of the hour.
"Mercy."
The Creator had given her a second chance in life, something she wasn't sure she deserved but it was hers nonetheless. To start over and begin anew as a mortal. Just like Aminee.
"I was brought back to life by the Creator."

"Well, that's good then," began Aminee oblivious to the penalty that came with being brought back, "but there's something that's confusing me. If you're back why haven't you been flying around or doing any of that godly stuff you were chosen to do in the first place?"

"Because I can't."
Sorrow could be heard in Kara's voice and seen clearly in her eyes. While she could live without being the goddess of Jherra there was one thing she missed more than anything, being Superwoman. It was Superwoman that made the true difference in the world and it was Superwoman who could rise above the rest to always do what was right. A god didn't have the same luxury, she could see that now. But now it was gone and there was nothing she could do to change that.
"I'm human, Aminee."

"Human?" asked Aminee confused. "What do you mean you're human? How can you be human?"

"The Creator made me human as punishment for failing my mission," explained Kara. "I'm not strong, I'm not fast, I can't fly, I can't see through walls, fire beams from my eyes, cool things with my breath and I'm certainly not invulnerable. I don't miss being a god to tell you the truth... But I do miss being Superwoman."

"I didn't realize being human was a punishment." Aminee couldn't imagine what being human must have been like to someone who was used to having so many abilities like Kara had but it couldn't have been that bad? Could it? "Forget about all that. You're alive. Isn't that what's important here?"

"I didn't mean it like that," replied Kara not wanting to offend her friend. "I can't just forget about it, Aminee. I have nothing against humans. I fought for them. I risked my life for them. But I was never meant to be one of them. I don't know if I can cope without my abilities."

"How did you mean it?" asked Aminee before listening to the rest of what Kara had to say. "Then what will you do? If you can't cope with how you are now, what will you do?"

"You know how I meant it."
Kara meant the motivation behind the Creator's reasoning for making her human, not that being human in and of itself was a punishment or a curse. After Aminee asked what Kara would do if she couldn't cope with being human the ex Woman of Steel was at a lost for words.
"I don't know."

"Have you ever thought about just ending it all?"

Kara was surprised by that question, her head turned back to Aminee and eyes looking into the Pop Idol's own. Suicide? That was something that never occurred in the blonde's mind until Aminee brought it up and instantly she dismissed the whole idea, taken aback that Aminee would even ask such a thing.
"No. I would never take the coward's way out."

"I thought about it." Aminee avoided eye contact with Kara as she relived her memories of when she first arrived to Moon Valley as an undercover agent. The day she intended to be her last day in this life. "I even attempted it, but I was unable to go through with it. If suicide is the coward's way out then what does that make me?"
