Do all in your world fancy such bright colors and strange clothing then?
[ And a low whistle over here tbh. There's a long, long list of people in the world who are better at confronting people and standing their ground than Bolin.
He already figured Kal was up there on that list, but you know, the confirmation is pretty cool. ]
Right in for taking a stance, huh? That's some impressive stuff! [ Especially since that dude with the black cape is a little terrifying. ]

No, it is considered a symbol, or a target, by those who are super-heroes.
It was the correct action to take. I stood by my friends, and the work we did that night.
[ He has only the fondest memories of that 'first' mission. Something truly unique and special. ]
We liberated Superboy, in the white suit, from being experimented on, and uncovered other dangerous experiments that could have caused great harm.
We stood together, on our own. I will stand for what is right, always.

Ah. Would not flag or banner not serve the same purpose? And what makes for a "super-hero" as opposed to a regular one?
It is meant to identify the wearer in the middle of a crowd of people, or in the middle of a fight. Something that draws the attention of friends and foes alike, as well as an easy signifier that the wearer is one to trust.
[ There is a pause, as Kaldur gathers his thoughts. ]
Superheros are those who possess extra skills or abilities and chose to use them to protect innocents. For example, both individuals with the lightning bolt emblem, The Flash and Kid Flash, are capable of achieving supersonic speeds while running or vibrating their bodies.
We work often to assist law enforcement against others with powers who seek evil, manage large-scale disasters and events, or serve as diplomatically neutral parties in settling disputes.

Yeah, that's why I like you, Kaldur. You're a real stand-up guy! Not that there aren't plenty of stand-up people out there or anything, it's just great to see. [ If you ask him, anyway. Mako likes to teeter on the statistics. ]
Again, I have seen banners used for a similar purpose, although I grant you that wearing one's colours would eliminate the need for a bannerman - albeit make such fights a tad bright, perhaps. Your world seems a strange and marvelous one - I had not thought that any of the Secondborn would have such abilities.
I am glad that you think so.
You are a 'stand-up' guy as well, Bolin. I am glad to know you, and I hope to know you better in the future.
[ Korra's world makes excellent peeps, from what Kaldur sees. All of them are total Team material. ]

Bannermen are impractical for individuals who fight. We–superheroes—are not a grand force for wars, though some, like my king, have bannermen of their own. THough monarchies with such power, or battles that would require bannermen and such, are rare on Earth, these days.
Though, I must ask, what or who are Second-born?

Truly? How are folk governed then, if not for a King or Queen or other similar lord?
[ Distraction murmurs Maedhros in his ears, but Maglor ignores him ]
Ah, so you are more... mercenaries then? Free agents, that is to say, your pardon - I did not mean to give offence - without ties to lord or land.
As to that, the Secondborn are what we call Men.

Many countries elect officials, or bodies of people, to represent their voices in government. In some places the court of law helps to run the country, and judicate on laws that have been established.
Many have ties to their country, but we are united and neutral against greater threats that present our world as a whole. For example, I am still a citizen of Atlantis, and I owe my fealty to my king and my country. Many others hold such loyalty to their country or planet also, or to the people within it, but not all.
[ Kaldur takes a moment to ponder that. ]
By men, I assume you must mean humans. It is true, that such abilities are a rare gift, though some are created, and some have no such 'gifts' at all, but rather extensive training and experience.
But not all of us are humans either. I am Atlantean, and me and my people live in the oceans, underwater. Some on my team, and the Justice League–an affiliation group of Superheroes–are not native to our Earth or Terra at all. Some are aliens from a different planet, such as Mars, though there are those that do not even come from our solar system.

It seems a complicated way of ruling, yet I suppose that it might make it fairer, at the least, if rulers were cruel.
[ The double take is almost audible ]
Under the oceans? And yet you may walk on land and breathe air as easily as water? [ are you some sort of maia ] I fear I do not know some of the terms you use, but... if I understand you aright... some of your folk come from the stars? [ soft wonder ]

That was the original purpose of such governments. [ The fight against tyranny. ]
Yes. Many Atlanteans can live as well on land as we do underwater, but we are most comfortable in the ocean's depths.
And, yes, I suppose that is an accurate statement. Stars in the universe are often surrounded by planets, which rotate around them in elliptical orbits. Some of those planets support life, such as my own, Earth, and our nearest neighbor, Mars.
Though there are other aliens from far-away stars and planets, in the realms of outer space. Stars themselves are not habitable, as they are burning gasses that are undergoing a fusion chemical process that make it impossible for life to form as the matter is not stable.
[ That is sort of from the stars. ]

You say 'original' purpose - Am I to take it that things have changed then?
How strange. [ quiet wonder ] I do not think there are any such beings on my world, who may live in such disparate environments. [ except for various assorted ainur ] Ah, to walk amongst the stars and hear them sing. And there are folk who dwell out there that have come to your world? Such distances must be difficult to traverse. What are they like?
And... not all stars are such. [ quiet, sad, amusement at some private joke (except it isn't funny, not really...) ]

Aww, thanks, buddy. Same here! Okay, so you mentioned saving Superboy, who I'm guessing is probably pretty super as a rule or something? Who are the other guys?
[ it's a relief to see something uplifting on the network as opposed to traumatizing or otherwise upsetting. she doesn't find it surprising that it comes from kaldur, that he would have such a positive memory for the locket to latch onto. he's a superhero, right?
she recognizes batman, but she figures it would be a crime if she didn't. even for an out-of-touch demigod (at least when it comes to mainstream pop culture), it's impossible not to know the dark knight. she's can't say she really recognizes anyone else, but she's never been into comics. if she were allowed to play call of duty when she was five, that's all she would have done for fun. ]
Alright, so who's the angry kid in the white onesie? [ he's kind of cute, just saying. ]

[ The sound you just heard is a rare sound. It's Kaldur laughing. Treasure it. He's kind of a hardass serious guy, so it doesn't happen often. ]
Yes. In the yellow is Kid Flash, capable of achieving very fast speeds, and the other in the red shirt and cape is Robin, now Nightwing, a serious expert in martial arts, hacking, gymnastics and a variety of other incredible talents.
[ He can't exactly go through the entire Justice League that would take forever. ]

[ There are darker places for his memory to linger, but he chooses to dwell otherwise. He is also grateful that the memory he has shared is a fond one, for there seem to be so few of them. ]
He is Superboy, but often goes by Connor Kent. He is a good man, and a hell of a fighter.
[ On the topic of that day, Kaldur can remember some of the bruises he got from that particular knock-down drag-out fight of fun. ]

Now many form it because it is the most convenient form of government, though I am not an expert on politics, so I could not say. [ He is, after all, technically a citizen of one of the last remaining true monarchies ]
Far distances indeed. They are... both alike and different from those of us who dwell on earth, with their own languages and customs as any country may posses. Some are similar to us in size and form, and others are largely disparate. [ people are people, one would have to guess.
the star comment catches him off-guard, but Kaldur's hand comes to rest on the 'star' in his own pocket, that had caused all of this to begin with (this will be the last time he forgets to put something back where it belonged.) ]
Perhaps not in your world, but in mine they are all composed of superheated, burning gas.
[ There is a lot of explored supergalaxies and other such locations to be able to verify this to be true. ]

Truly? It sounds far more complicated than a simple monarchy, yet I suppose if folk were unsure of the trustworthiness of a ruler it might be more to their liking. [ Men were always ones for complicating things scoffs Caranthir Hush sooth the Ambarrussa ]
And how do they travel? Have they ships that may sail the void?
[ a soft, almost amused sound ] That is what they are made of, perhaps, but I wonder if it is not necessarily who they are.

[ brotha' you may want to get all those voices in your head checked out ]
The world I come from seems often to be much more advanced in technology than others. THough I have not been to the station myself, what I know of it makes it far more concurrent to what is happening in my world at the moment. Such technology allows for much easier communication, and there are many who have seen the benefit of such systems, even monarchs that have chosen to step down in the face of it. [ But, man, Kaldur really couldn't give you details. ]
There are many types of spacecraft, yes, used to transverse space. Some do not need it to withstand the absence of atmosphere, but it is one of the faster modes of travel, and some others, like boom-tubes, have a limited range across which they can transmit.
We have yet to encounter a star that displays any level of sentience, but that does not preclude one from existing. [ You can almost hear the shrug in his voice. Chemistry is chemistry, and there isn't much that could change that at all. ]

[ Dun wanna its the only way I get to talk to them any more ]
True, I suppose ease of communication might simplify things in that regard... [ an almost audible shrug ]
A ship that sails the stars... [ longing and wistful ] And how do these... 'boom tubes' differ? ... Ah, your pardon. I must seem rude indeed, to constantly ask after such things - tis only that your world sounds marvelous strange.
Mm, the wide world is wide, and how much greater must the sea between stars be? I wonder if they sing the same songs in your world as they do in mine. [ I wonder murmurs Maedhros softly If Earendil sails their skies as well ]

[ not healthy, bro, not healthy. I get the feeling, man, but I feel like my loved ones would rather me be healthy and sane than crazy and hearing voices. And I refuse to let them down. Your choice, bruh. ]
Boom tubes and other, similar technology function much like the Fairy Rings, providing instant transport to wherever one is located, activated by voice or some other gesture. [ Molecular transport and all that fun jazz. ] And not at all, I enjoy being able to speak of my home world.
The distance between stars is immense. Indeed the distance from the earth, my home planet, to the nearest star, the Sun, is about 3733 times the circumference of the Earth, a total distance of 92,955,807 miles between both celestial bodies. The next nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is much farther away, at 4.24 light-years, with each light year being 5.87849981 × 1012 miles, which is the amount of distance that light travels in the span of a year. [ So, basically, hella far. ]

Your world has magic akin to the fey here then? [ man, that would have saved so much time and effortand possibly a younger brother if they'd had such awesome tech ] Have a care with such kind offers, lest I overwhelm you with my interest!
I do not know those measurements nor most of those words [ what is circumference, Arda is flat ], I fear, but it sounds distant indeed. Your people may measure light, as well? Ah, but it sounds to be full of wonders indeed. Father would have loved to speak to you, I warrant.
