My brain is his for picking.

[ this can't possibly be awkward, right!

oh no. oh his heart. ]

Google is -- the internet's overlord. It's a company that started out as a search engine, and kind of morphed into a monster - it's social media, it's video hosting service, email provider, it works on self driving cars, operating systems, wearable computers, mapping, basically anything and everything remotely technological you can think of - chances are they have a stake in it.

You handled that well, but it freaked you out a little, didn't it? [Playful.]

I have a lot of feelings about the internet, ok -

[ he laughs; for the longest time it was the only friend he could depend on. until kara came into his life. ]

I have a lot of feelings about you. [Time for another kiss? It's been over a minute. That's too long.]

[ definitely too long. kissing back. ]

Likewise.

[Nice and long and lingering this time.]

Okay, more about you. I want Winnformation.

[ oh that's not fair how is he supposed not to fall in love when you say things like that? ]

Any particular kind?

[Maybe that wouldn't be the worst thing?]

Mmm, tell me about college Winn.

College Winn - worked tech support a lot, and had a neatfreak roommate that wasn't all too happy with his snack obsession.

I would never have guessed you worked tech support. Tell me of this snack obsession and I will try not not to get ridiculously hungry. [She's already hungry but doesn't want to leave the boy and the bed.]

Are you sure you're ready to deal with my dark side?

[ cuz the possibility he'll turn insane murderer in the future is one thing - his eating habits a whole other. ]

I kinda tend to -- surround myself with pretty much anything artificially colored and bagged when I'm working. Which was, kind of always in college - work-work and school-work, and my downtime was for-fun-work - so our room was always piles of pizza boxes, nachos, burritos, candy wrappers, bags of whatever was on sale, giant bottles of soda...his girlfriends hated me.

[ cuz the one thing he wasn't - was fat ]

So dark. I don't know how to handle this new and difficult information. [And she is actually rolling to the edge of the cot. Maybe she's serious? Maybe she wants to escape? Maybe she's phasing her hand into the top shelf of her dresser (which is close enough to reach because this room is small) and pulling out a snack bag she picked up back on the station.] They're kind of like Cheetos but a little spicy.

[ you know that smitten look? he's getting that again. ]

Gotta love an enabler -

[It's a good look on him. She smiles back and opens the bag and pulls one out to feed to him.] Sharing. Half mine. That's how you get girlfriends to love you. [They should both me more careful how they throw the "love" word around.]

[ his face might explode from happiness as he munches on the treat. true fact, he's 90% puppy. ]

Well I definitely want that - sharing is caring.

[She pops one in her mouth too and close-mouth smiles at him.] Cutie.

[ reaching for another one. ]

This is surprisingly good - where'd you get it?

A shop on the space station. I got a job transporting things while we were there and used most of that money for food. I liked it a lot more than the moon.

Next place we go better have more of these -

Here's hoping. Also, I'm going to tell you something just because I like you. I still have three more bags. [She pops another one in her mouth.]

[ giving her the warmest hug ]

You're a good woman, Kitty Pryde.

[That gets a light laugh and a snuggle in return.] You can feel free to say that as much as you want. [It's nice to hear even if it's about snack food.]

Conversations would get pretty repetitive - I can leave you a voicemail to loop?

I'll be expecting it. [She offers him another one. This is so nice. Just this. No hard and messy future to worry about. No dark past full of loss to ponder on. Just this moment together right now.]

[ he grabs it happily and pops it into his mouth.

you know what? he's just going to reach for his communicator and leave that voicemail right now. why put things off? ]

You're a good woman, Kitty Pryde.

[ hanging up, and putting his communicator back down with a smile. ]
