To save us.
"To save the world" she didn't smile this time "and I don't think anybody else could handle it."

"You have a lot of confidence in yourself."
It wasn't a judgment, but almost more of a question.

Regina laughed "I have confidence in the plan, I have confidence we can make a difference."

"No... you have confidence in yourself."
Miranda was peering at her, not looking certain, but not confused either.
"You would be very afraid if you didn't. Too afraid to go through with it."

Regina stared back for a moment "You're correct" she finally said "and the fear not pushed by lack of confidence gives me strength."

"I wish that I was like that," said Miranda after a moment of blaring silence. "I've only been pushed on by a knowledge of what is certain. Here, now, when things aren't... I don't know what to do anymore."

"Confidence is learned, it took me many more years than I have time to count to honestly find this confidence" she exhaled softly.

Regina didn't look very old, but she also did not seem to be especially hyperbolic. Miranda only reflected on this, saying nothing.

"You'll figure it out, don't worry."

"There are a lot of things I have... been through, since I came here."
The first initial flash of that night and that alley came back; it wasn't something she'd entirely pushed out of mind, and there had been public speculation on her alterego's very noticeable support of rape crisis centers, so while not discussed it wasn't a well-kept secret, but Miranda briefly looked away and grew distracted. Could that trauma have been a part of her recent hermitage? It was possible, though she hadn't thought of it before now.

Regina forgot about herself for a moment and looked at Miranda with concern "Is it anything you'd like to talk about?"

"No, not really. I'd rather forget them."

Regina nodded, unwilling to press her "That's fine we all do things our own way, let's get up and get to the apartment I keep thinking about those sandwiches."

Miranda smiled more genuinely and stood. In the daze of remembering, she had forgotten Regina's offer to install her in her own penthouse.
Having her own space had been shocking and lonely. She wasn't as old and mature as she thought she was.

She quickly gathered her various belongings and headed out to the car Luthor had set up for her. Her driver never said a word and nodded in understanding.
She had wondered if he was a robot on multiple occasions.
The driver was waiting for them with the door open.
