Having lived for a very long time, Dionisia knows that one has to be very careful about who you associate with. Especially when first meeting them, as it's difficult to determine who you can safely put your trust in. However, at the same time she's learned the value of those rare opportunities where something unexpected but valuable falls right into her lap. It can be difficult to determine when she ought to be cautious and when she ought to capitalize, but thus far she's seen little reason for caution.
Listening to the girl attempting to persuade her, however, she still wonders whether the risk is worth the reward. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't hear the girl out more fully. She could always refuse when it's all laid out on the table. "A vigilante problem? No, not for me. Not right now, anyway. They could become a problem, a very big problem. I suppose it may be prudent of me to solve that problem before it begins - as Athenagoras of Syracuse said, 'If a man does not strike first, he will be the first struck.' Then again, Aaron Burr said, 'Never do today what you can as well do tomorrow, because something may occur to make you regret your premature action.'" she explains, indicating her current position on the city's 'protectors'. At the moment she has nothing to fear from them, but that may change. Yet she's not sure whether she ought to try doing anything them - that may, after all, only succeed in revealing her presence to them.

"Well as for the problems...I just need to take out the ring leaders at this time. The others will follow if they get in my way," she replied to the first quotation the ghost had said.
She took the time to think things over carefully on how to word her plan. Her mind worked quicker than that of a human. And being this concentrated was more than the actually Kara could achieve.
For dark Kara knew her reason for being on earth. And to Kara, that bit of her memories were still lost.
"My plans are simple. It's the preparation work that has been taking me the longest. True I am a super and could and can do much more than any human. But I can only work so far before I am recognized or the League is notified of my presents again. It's not easy to stay out of their sight when they are hunting you down. But I've made it this far," she spoke.
A little more of her showing in the light as far as her situation.

Sounding somewhat amused, Dionisia comments, "That sounds like a decent enough plan." The League, being a relatively new addition to the world, has only gotten so much of her attention. But then, groups of do-gooders are not new so she's familiar with how they work. And given her own abilities that go well beyond a human's, she understands the concept that the Super is explaining - if you're powerful enough, in any group of people trying to stop you there are only a few whose abilities actually matter against your own. Eliminate those, and the rest are crushed quite easily.
Still, she has to add, "But I still fail to see why I should get involved. After all, if you succeed without me then I don't have to do the work, and if you fail then I don't get dragged down with you. Really, there's no point unless I get more out of getting involved than I would by sitting out." It's not that she doesn't want to get involved - it sounds like it would be quite interesting, actually - but she's never been one to stick her neck out too far for anyone just because it would be fun.

"Who said they'd ever know you were involved? I just need some talent to work my way through a few more levels. And power I don't possess is just another plus against the League," she replied.
Simple and sweet. That was how she worked. But her mind worked far more intricate than what she was saying. Though in her words it showed.
"It's simply at this point a game of chess. I make one move and watch the opponent fall into line whether they notice or not," Kara said.
She was taking her time explaining it. Sure she did not have much to offer to the ghost. But maybe floating around got boring. And now was the chance to have some fun.
"I can handle my own if things go down...but they won't without a fight," she said.
Her mind already working in several points of view on how things might unfold.

"Oh please - don't pretend that being caught is an impossibility," Dionisia is very quick to say, "The cockier someone is, the more likely something unexpected will happen that will lead to their ruin." She's seen that so many times during her long existence.
Nevertheless, she doesn't have to debate very much with herself before she's saying, "I'm still highly skeptical about this. But... I must admit that my skills may increase your chances. You certainly aren't very subtle, for example." She, on the other hand, has spent this entire conversation being invisible - clearly she has that advantage over the girl, and that's just the beginning, really.
"I'll tell you what - I'll give you a way to contact me in the event that you have need of me. And if you do, I'll consider helping you - it really would depend on the risk involved. I can make no promises or guarantees, at least not when the reward for it is so little. And that's all that I can offer at this time. Is that acceptable?" she asks. Really, all she's offering is the chance to talk to her again - a very small thing, but not nothing at least.

"I'll agree to that. I have respect for others watching out for themselves. Strategy and intellect reflect on such decision," Kara replied simply.
No sign of hostility was there. Neither was there sarcasm in her words. This was a young woman with powers far greater than that of almost anyone on earth.
Her understanding of the universe was so vast compared to that of her counterpart of the split Kara. She knew her purpose. She knew the risk. And she knew what needed to be done.
And she was willing to stop at nothing to complete these goals if it was the last thing she did. Then again, it would just be the beginning.

"Very well..." Dionisia replies, pulling out a small notebook and a pen. It would appear to Kara that both items appeared out of nowhere, floating in the air as a phone number is written on the page. The page is then torn and both the pen and notebook disappear before the page with the number floats over to where Kara can reach it easily.
"When you need me, call this number late in the evening. A woman by the name of Anastasia will answer, and you simply need to tell her that you have a message for 'the ghost' - she'll know how to get it to me, and she can be trusted to not tell anyone else," she explains. It's actually the home phone number of her housekeeper - it's always better to keep such connections at least a step away from secrets. "It's better if you call at least an evening before you want me - otherwise you can't be sure that she'll be able to deliver the message in time to catch me. I'm a bit of a free spirit that way," she says, laughing lightly at her own joke, "But if it's an emergency, it's still worth a try."

Kara watch with slight interest as a pen and paper seemed to appear out of no where. The movement of the pen notified her of the intentions of the ghost's note. That and her vision was sharp enough to see what it was without having to get closer.
She reached out calmly to the note and good it with ease. Kara did not want to give off any signs of aggression toward this person she could not see.
Listen to the instructions on contacting the ghost, she nodded in understanding. "I will take note of that," Kara replied in return.
Looking down below them, she could see someone leaving the night club. "If you'll excuse me. I have some business to attend to. You are free to watch if you care to do so? Should be rather amusing," she replied.
She was in no large rush. If she wanted to, she could catch up to the man in less than a heart beat, literally.

When the Super's attention shifts to a person below them, Dionisia follows her gaze for a moment, and the girl's words cause her to laugh quietly. "Oh, by all means, don't let me spoil your fun," she replies.
Now that a way to get in touch in the future has been established, she doesn't have much of a reason to linger, except that the comment that what is about to take place will be amusing seems promising. Then again, she questions the Super's ability to guess what she will and won't find amusing, so she can't say for sure if it's enough to convince her to stay and watch. But she may as well at least stick around long enough to see what the girl has in mind and decide then.

"A pleasure doing business with you," she replies as she lands on the group once again.
Rushes off in the direction of the man walking away. Slowing down once she gets his attention.
"I've been looking for you Hilton. I'm sure you remember a friend of mine in the Trees family," she spoke.
The man gave a confused look at her. Shrugging off the conversation slightly. Not seeming to want to recall any situation at that time. Looking like he had a rough night already in the bar scene.
Waving her off as he mumbled something as he turned away from her, Kara wasn't going to take that. Before he can get too far out of her reach, she grabs a hold of his jacket and tosses him into the alley's brick wall.
He slide to the ground as she approached him. "I don't respect a man who walks away from a deal," she says as she lifts him up to the wall.
It was easy for her to use her strength against him. "Now we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Where did they hide it," she said.
The man looked scare, but knew what she meant by. And he wasn't giving an answer right away. Kara tightened her grip as she pushed him into the wall.

Dionisia isn't far behind the Super as the girl confronts the man. However, as she looks on, she can't say that she's particularly entertained. Oh, she enjoys a severely one-sided confrontation as much as the next person, but only when she's the one fighting with the upper hand. Watching it isn't that amusing. Or at least, it isn't when she doesn't know the poor fool the girl has a problem with and therefore doesn't have a reason to be pleased that he's being harmed.
Though perhaps the even deeper problem when it comes to her interest is that she's had conversations similar to this one so many times before herself - it's all very routine to her now. First you find out what you need to know, implying that you'll let them go unharmed, then you kill them. Or you don't, if they may be useful later, but really if they're giving you that much trouble to begin with you should just kill them.
Eh. She should just go. But where to? Nothing sounds fun this evening... She's only half paying attention to the girl while she tries to make up her mind.
