"The Dog Star," Helena said off-handedly, not at all guessing what deeper significance that meaning may have to the man standing in front of her. "Brightest star in the sky." A list of other facts came up in her mind, but Helena didn't quote it all. You don't get to be Batman and Catwoman's daughter without learning all of your stuff.
"I...worked out a lot back home." How much was safe to divulge here? Helena didn't know. Besides, she was used to keeping secrets. Another part of my family's legacy, that.
"Less than a couple of weeks," she confirmed. "I was dropped into the middle of the arena and it was nothing like Legends of the Hidden Temple." Though, god, Helena wished it had been. It was a hideously old game show, way before her time, but she'd watched repeats of it as a child.
Life, she had quickly learned, was not as safe as those game shows would have you believe.
"How about you?" She hadn't yet learned to tell who had been here awhile, versus who was a newbie. Everything was new to her, after all. "Or are you, you know, a native to this place?" Because boy would that help.
