The meeting adjourned soon after Green Lantern was awoken, his cheeks turning red in embarrassment for having been caught. Honestly, Kara related, as she was feeling tired enough to be the next 'casualty' in of the night.

Morning?

What time was it?

Entropy seemed to be embarrassed that the Green Lantern had fallen asleep during his dramatic explanations as well, and the thought made Supergirl stifle a giggle.

Oh yeah, it was time to go to bed.

Flash and Green Arrow, both of them not very quietly voicing their worry that the confident hero wasn't getting enough sleep–despite his protests–dragged Green Lantern away. Supergirl caught Kal's eye, and knew she would be next.

Superman and Batman were in a quiet communion, Wonder Woman listening in with an annoyed look at being ignored. Then the three of them turned back to the table, the Dark Knight's gaze fixing on the two young supers. "Entropy, you'll stay on the Watchtower, and so will Supergirl. Aquaman can show you to a guest room."

Batman gave Aquaman a very long look, and Kara wondered if–with the help of the Martian–they were communicating telepathically. She never got the chance to find out, however, since Wonder Woman came up behind her, murmuring so quietly that only Supergirl could have heard it, "Let's get you back to bed."

If it had been Kal, Supergirl would have perhaps balked, not wanting to be micromanaged. With the Amazonian princess, however, Kara felt safe in nodding and allowing a small yawn to slip through. "Okay."

In hindsight, that was probably why Wonder Woman had been the one to ask, and not Kal.

Even as she turned to follow Diana, a dark hand landed on her shoulder, and she turned to look at Entropy. His eyes were dark with guilt, and he spoke quietly. "I'm- … sorry for dragging you through those portals."

"Me too." She replied, but smiled to let him know that she forgave him. He hesitantly returned it, his teeth a pearly white against his face. "So. You're real name is Leonard?"

"Supergirl." Wonder Woman was at the door, and Kara blushed, feeling stupid for having kept her waiting. She jogged after the princess before Entropy could answer, calling over shoulder as a goodbye,

"See you tomorrow, Entropy!"

Diana was silent as she caught up, slowing down to walk shoulder to shoulder with the much taller woman. "I guess there was a reason you fell asleep earlier after all." The Amazonian's tone was humorous, and Kara nodded.

"It explains a lot, and now Kal will probably never let me near him."

"Never say never." Wonder Woman chuckled. "I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of him in the next few days."

Supergirl allowed a comfortable silence to fall once more, then glanced at the older hero in uncertainty. "You believe what he said, then? … About the end of the world?"

"I believe that he believes it." Came the solid reply, and the deep blue eyes of the Amazon princess clouded over. "That is enough for us to investigate, since the rest of his powers seem to be real."

"But if he saw the future, then how are we going to stop it?" Kara had seen enough movies to know how the story would end. "What if what we do to stop it is the reason that it happens?"

Wonder Woman seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, and then she shook her head slightly, as if she were physically clearing it. "I believe we all have many questions to ask, and I do not know how much time we have with which to ask them."

"Does Entropy even know the answers?" Supergirl was skeptical.

"I have a feeling that the Psy-kins might, whether or not the young man does." The tone in Diana's voice was difficult read, and Kara thought she sounded a little angry.

"Do you think they've got something to do with the end of the world?"

"Entropy said he feels that they are hiding something." Wonder Woman frowned. "That is enough for me to be suspicious."

They reached Kara's room, and the Amazon put a hand on Supergirl's shoulder, not giving her a chance to reply. "Sleep well, Kara. Do not hesitate to ask, should you need anything."

"I-" Wonder Woman flew quickly away, and Supergirl used her x-ray vision, following the Amazon's trail as she made her way to the meeting room. Presumably it was to tell the rest of the League of her suspicions. "I won't." Kara whispered.

It was a relief to change into pajamas, and Supergirl was glad that Kal had finally decided to allow her an honorary room in the Watchtower. Wearing her own clothes made her feel comfortable in a way that she hadn't really felt since meeting Entropy.

Kara gasped when she noticed the clock, annoyance flooding through her as the little red numbers glowed happily beside her bed. "4:00 in the morning?!" She scowled, realizing that the night had been completely taken up by Entropy and his indecisiveness.

It was with vigor and slight anger that she buried herself under the covers, only just then remembering that her hair was probably pretty gross, and she ought to take a shower when she woke up.

Her last thought was whether or not Green Lantern was finally getting the sleep he needed too, or if she was the only one that the League was mother-henning to death.


Kara woke up slowly, feeling light and full and rested. It was a beautiful feeling, and she allowed a smile to spread across her face while leaving her eyes closed.

Then she realized that there was a hum. A constant hum that sounded almost like she was in-

Supergirl sat straight up, remembering where she was with a start. She looked over at the clock, and was even more alarmed to see that it was already 2:00 in the afternoon.

She threw the covers off, tearing her pajamas over her head to fling at the other side of the room as she literally flew into the shower. What had happened? Why hadn't anyone woken her up?!

Kara scowled as she realized that it was all probably Kal's doing.

Well, he was definitely going to get an earful for letting her sleep for so long. The warm water helped her calm down, her anger failing her by the time she got back out, dressing in record time.

Supergirl was quiet as she stepped out the door, leaving her room behind. In fact, the whole Watchtower was silent. Even with her superior hearing, nothing called out to her, and she felt as though she was intruding.

Kara was hungry enough that she didn't much care where the rest of the League was, deciding that breakfast was the first thing on her to-do list. She floated easily and effortlessly down the hall, the door to the kitchen opening for to pass without her having to even slow down.

The she landed, and stared.

Entropy stood before her, his eyes wide and an entire muffin shoved into his mouth.

For a long moment, they merely looked at each other, and then he waved, smiling around the muffin before proffering a box. The box of muffins, to be exact. "Uuhguaanann?"

"What?" Kara still only managed to stare at the young man, who finally shrugged, putting the box down to grab the muffin in his mouth. She thought he was going to pull it out to talk, but instead he shoved it in farther, taking out a large bite, along with more than half the muffin.

She watched in fascinated disgust while he chewed and swallowed, then pointed at the box. "Do you want one? There are more in the box if you want one."

Supergirl only stared, and Entropy sat down at the counter, shoving the rest of the muffin into his mouth. He proceeded to chew and swallow it as he had done with the first half, and then he grinned at her, bits of muffin still stuck in his teeth.

"Are you sure you don't have a secret superpower for being disgusting?" She asked as she finally sat down, hesitantly taking a muffin of her own.

"Did you just wake up?" He grabbed another muffin as well. "You seem grumpier than usual."

"I-! How-" Kara spluttered for a moment, too shocked by the candid observation to be very angry for a few moments. "I am not grumpy!" She remembered Kal calling her grumpy on several different occasions, and judging by his stupid grin, Entropy picked up on it. "Stop reading my mind!"

"Stop thinking then." He paused before eating the next muffin, his smile waning. "I can't control it."

She calmed down marginally to see that he didn't seem to be laughing. "Where is the rest of the League?"

"They left this morning for something. World crisis." He shrugged, his good mood seeming to have dissipated.

"Why did they leave me here?" Kara shouldn't have asked it, but it slipped out anyway.

"You were really tired from my portals." He shrugged again, but wouldn't meet her eyes. "And they probably don't really trust me."

Now Supergirl's anger had dissipated as well, and she took a small bite of her own muffin before venturing. "They don't really trust me, either."

"Do you- … still feel tired?" He asked after a long moment, and Kara looked up in surprise.

"No, I feel a lot better, thanks." The silence between them stretched out, and they both took another bite of their muffins. Then she asked. "So … you're name is really Leonard?"

"Call me Leo."


So, there you go. Next chapter is finally up, and now maybe we'll learn something new about our little friend Entropy.

If you have any comments, lemme know what you think! Good, Bad, Ugly, I wanna know! Even if you can only spare a sentence, please do.

Thank you to all of you who have stuck with me for this long. I love you all.
