[She keep his gaze, utterly determined. She's fine with talking; her story isn't pleasant, but it's one her Jason knows.]
When I was young, my sister sold me into slavery. Is that same for your Koriand'r, I wonder? I hope not.
[Start off dramatic, keep his attention.] I am telling you not for pity, but so that you might understand. She did it to save my people a grim fate; for years I stewed in anger and in resentment until I snapped. I was not treated kindly, and when I escaped I did not treat my captors kindly either.
[The experiments are alwaya fresh on her mind, along with the torture. The humiliation. A princess of Tamaran reduced to nothing but fodder. She is still furious; it's in her eyes, the downturn of her mouth.] I met with allies after the fact, but it came to be that I crash landed on Earth. A boy found me -- his name always escapes me ... But I would know him anywhere. His eyes, they were as blue as yours.
[She pauses, the image of Nightwing hazy in her head. Blurry all in the middle.]
I helped him for a while, to be a hero. But to be a hero on Earth, it requires mercy. I -- I did not think most of our adverseries were deserving of it. He disagreed. So I left and placed myself into isolation; it was peaceful. Secluded.

And then you washed up onto my island, Jason.
