Disclaimer: Well, here it is. I've been toying with the idea of SG and CA as a couple since the first JLU episode, because I think they've got potential. And then this last episode threw some major drama their way. WB and DC own all, even Streaky's litterbox. First Person, Kara's POV.

From Kara to Kansas, with Love

Dear Ma,

Clark told me he's let you all know about our current situation, and about what Captain Atom did, but he also said you were worried about me, so here's my two-cents.

How could he?

Doesn't he know the kinds of…monsters these people are?

Doesn't he know what they did to me?

Doesn't he care?

…

Don't know why I'm surprised, to be honest. I mean, I know him. He's always so professional, so buttoned-down.

Okay, so maybe he can't physically be buttoned-down.

But the point is, I've known from the moment I met him that he wasn't a superhero. He never really fit in with the League, you know, because nobody really trusted him all that much, except for Clark. It was obvious from the beginning that he was a soldier. Doing his duty, whatever they ask of him. Never asking why, never challenging orders.

People like him were the reason Vietnam lasted so long.

Very few Leaguers felt comfortable with him there, especially GA. Arrow, paranoid guy that he is, randomly goes off on tangents about the government keeping tabs on us through Cap, that we can't trust him, and something about a big blue Fascist?

It's not like Cap had no friends. He and Vigilante have the same taste in movies, I've noticed. Westerns and buddy cop films. What could be more all-American than that?

And Clark, well, Clark trusted him. I guess he thought Cap was some kind of a kindred spirit. They both believe in that whole truth, liberty, freedom, and the American way stuff. They're both open, honest, truthful people. Plus, they share a color scheme.

Which makes this so hard to handle.

I knew Cap was loyal to a fault. And that's a good thing.

But where does loyalty become turning a blind eye to what is really going on? I mean…the things Cadmus did to me were unforgivable. How can he still stand by them?

I thought…well, you should know what I thought. Come on, noble, upstanding, kind of cute in his southern, choir-boy way, and the most sweetly innocent person I'd ever met outside of Smallville.

Call me crazy, I know you shouldn't date where you work, but seeing as work is all I am, I had maybe hoped…well, never mind.

He's probably afraid of me.

They all are.

I know what Cadmus tells people, that they're doing this for the regular guy, that humans need protection from us, like we're monsters.

Well, I don't see any monsters up here. Except when Etrigan visits, because he really IS a monster.

I want to tell him that. To just walk up to him and say, "Hey! I'm the victim here, not them!"

And then…I'd either kiss him or smack him.

I'm the Girl of Steel. I'm not afraid of anyone or anything.

But to confront him, to break clean and tell him my hopes, my dreams…

That takes more courage than I have.

So, anyway, that's what's going on up here, I suppose. Tell Pa hi, and Lana too, and if Babs calls, tell her I'll be up here, at least until it all dies down at the Pentagon. Take care of Streaky, and Krypto, and each other.

Love you much, Ma-

Kara

A/N: Review, please. Keep the plot bunnies fed. This is my first JL fic, but it's one of my favorite series ever, so maybe I could be persuaded to do something from Captain Atom's perspective, try to get into that blue, nuclear head of his.
