It was nice to know that someone understood the feeling, as much as she hated feeling that way. It would be better if no one else ever knew how it felt to have to work extra hard to gain the trust of those around them and no one else ever had to know how it felt to have to walk on eggshells indefinitely to keep from unintentionally shattering that trust. Trust was easy to earn the first time around, but was always infinitely harder to earn back once lost. Kara knew that better than she wished she did, that was for sure, and she felt a little bit guilty for being relieved that Barry understood where she was coming from with that. "Yeah, tell me about it..." she said softly, a subtle hint to let the subject drop, because it wasn't exactly a pleasant thing to have in common, that was for sure, so there was no sense in bringing themselves down too much conversing about it.
"I'll take a good sign that it's not getting worse," Kara chirped. That was certainly better than nothing. She would rather it be getting better, but as long as it wasn't getting worse? She could deal with that. She nodded, peering out the window. "Yeah, I think between the two of us, you're right, we can get some the worst of it taken care of before any of the other volunteers show up, if they aren't already here." She paused and turned to look at him, eyes wide. "I hope they're not already here." Because if they were, then it would imply that either she and Barry missed someone when they were searching or that those who were already here could possibly have been unable to call for help or were buried out of sight. Kara frowned a little. She didn't want to think about that. The Also Humans had seemed friendly. It didn't make sense for them to put people in danger who couldn't handle themselves. They just mustn't be here yet, she told herself. That was the only way it made sense to her.
A soft laugh escaped her and she lowered herself to sit back on the floor again. "At this point, I feel like 'rebuilding' is sort of a stretch. We might have to just tear some of these buildings down and just start from scratch. It's not a good idea to try to rebuild a structure that isn't strong enough to withstand the work."
Kara looked back at him with surprised upset. "No I wasn't!" she exclaimed. "I promise," she added quickly and earnestly. While Barry made a good point about the suit potentially making people uncomfortable, her brow creased slightly. "I don't need the suit, but I kinda need the cape..." she admitted. "I tried flying a few times without it and...it isn't pretty. I'm not very good at keeping myself on track without the cape helping with the aerodynamics. At least, that's what Winn said it did, since I was flying a lot more controlled with it than I had been without it..."
