Who: Kara & Friends (and future friends)
Broadcast: video / fleetwide
Action: The Tourist, kitchen or Kara's room
When: now!

[ In her broadcast, Kara is in her PJs, hair down and glasses off. She looks like she just woke up not too long ago and the overall vibe is very "confessional vlog". She doesn't seem distressed, just a little confused, and tired—though her eternal optimism is always there somewhere. ]

Hey, so, question: On a scale from "wow that's super weird we've never heard of something like that" to "it must be a Wednesday on the Fleet", how common is it to just like, get a bunch of "new" information from home? Which, now that I think about it, is kind of a dumb thing to ask because we have implants that give us job skills training. But I'm just wondering. Uh, in the abstract? Something like that.

Anyway, I'm going to go get some coffee and food because I'm starving. Who knew that sleeping was such hard work?

In this case, it's worlds vibrating at different frequencies all on top of each other.

His name's the Flash and he's a speedster, and when Siobhan literally pushed me out of a window with her voice, he caught me, even though I totally didn't need the assist.

Of course -- because when an object travels with sufficient speed he can -- match those vibrations and essentially open a breach - [ whooshing with his hand ] and go through - that's all we need to do. Well, that and find a way to aim at the right earth -

[ that part may be trickier than achieving the incredible speed opening a breach would take. especially if there really are infinite earths. ]

Do you know how fast he was going?

Faster than I can fly, I think. To get him back I had to go as fast as I could and throw him at his fastest.

That's -- very fast.

[ faster than his puny human body can withstand even if he found a way to achieve it which -- is definitely not going to happen on a spaceship, there's no room to accelerate in. ]

Is he an alien - mutant - what?

Metahuman.

He got hit by lightning the same time a particle accelerator exploded. How crazy is that?

-- extremely crazy. Safety standards on his earth must be in the dumps -

[ the likelihood of a particle accelerator explosion is supposed to be tiny. they're supposed to be checked and rechecked and triple checked and checked again, and one more time, and just to be safe, what the hell throw another check in here. those things are expensive, they take decades to build, and they're important. ]

Like Earth's immigration policy?

Anyway, you really like him. He's super cool.

And you know who knows him?

That sounds like me -

[ he's a superhero collector! smiling expectantly ]

Who?

Cisco!

Of course! That makes perfect sense cuz alternate-world me [ which is totally what cisco is, just listen to them talk! ] needs an alternate world - you!

I think you two are soulmates.

That's a pretty...accurate description, I feel.

I know it's wrong to wish people would show up, but I don't know if I'll get to see Barry again and he is so great. Just the nicest guy.

Plus he -- might be able to get everyone home.

Well, yes, that too.

You know, I think we can just be done with feeling bad about hoping to see people. It's natural, it's not gonna make a difference on whether or not they do show up, and personally? I'd take it personally if you didn't want me here.

Yeah? I'll try to remember that. It's just a lot to wish on someone.

I know you want to keep everyone safe and happy - anyone who's met you for 5 minutes knows that. Wishing you could have the people you care about around doesn't change that.

You don't know what powers I could have, Winn.

[ she's teasing ]

So you're saying the only person you really wanna be with is me?

[ two can play that game ]

...

Anyway!

[ shaking his head fondly and patting her arm. ]

Anyway - you're probably still hungry, right? [ he didn't grab that much ] I got an - errand to run [ sure let's call possibly getting dumped an errand ] - I'll catch up to you later? [ he may as well quit while he's ahead ]

Yeah. Sure.

Thanks again, Winn.

Hey - anytime at all.

[ he offers another hug ]

[ she'll take it and let him go ]
