[Point. Counterpoint, for the sake of covering their bases—]
Smart man like that doesn't start a pandemic without giving people a reason to want to even the score.
[Even if it isn't damage control, foul play is not at all out of the question. That said, his money's still on the former—Nikora's name didn't drop until today, so anyone plotting revenge would have had to have a hell of a leg up on the rest of the Quad. Makes a whole lot more sense if Nikora's just playing stooge for whoever decided that they wanted to launch this bioattack in the first place.
The question then, is who. Maybe Nikora has a few ideas, if he's still in shape enough to share them.]
Do me a favor and keep an ear to the ground while this shakes out. I'll try to keep myself kicking long enough to make it worth your while.
don't know the lethality yet. it's a risky revenge
[Jason has a point and maybe there's some sense of karmic justice if he was right, but speaking from her own view point, Kara wouldn't fuck around with an uncertain death if she was angry at someone. A bullet to the head is a lot surer revenge than a virus that might not even be lethal.]
sure thing. if you get sick, try not to push yourself too hard. i'd hate to lose the bet.
[True, he's a little more disposed to a poetic justice when it's been earned. Always had something of a dramatic streak. If you've got a point to make, it doesn't mean anything if the guy doesn't get a chance to appreciate it.
Could say the same about setting him loose half-out-of-his-mind after he did your dirty work for you. A scapegoat that can't defend himself is better than one that doesn't surface at all. But there's no saying he won't recover on his own, if he's lucky. Odds don't seem to be in his favor, though.
Speaking of which, it's a little late to worry about if he's getting sick, but he's not going to tell her that. No rest for the wicked, et cetera.]
Lets hope my immune system can measure up to yours.
[Go big or go home, although mostly it's because if something isn't bad enough to warrant proper revenge, Kara doesn't give enough of a shit to bother with it. Someone wronging her in a minor isn't worth "revenge".
But really, it's not that big a deal, so she sends a second text a few sconds later:]

[It happens, sure, but she highly doubts someone developing a virus that dangerous would skip on the safety protocol.]
