Employee of the month right here.

[ wrapping an arm around her and kissing her cheek. ]

Absolutely. So far I got - maybe bush would be easier.

[passingthrough]

[He's just very comfortable to be with and on and against.] I can accept pizza bush. Does it grow baked or will we still have to bake them?

[winn]

[ he's very proud to be comfortable. ]

Might have to wrap it in paper to help it ripen for a couple days, but it should be good to eat as-is.

[passingthrough]

You wouldn't tease a girl, right? [Nuzzle, nuzzle.]

[winn]

[ he opens his mouth - the suggestion that taking her back to national city would be easier and more in his wheel house than genetically engineering a pizza plant at the tip of his tongue - and bites down on his lip. he can't. not even as a joke (even though to him it never was one).

he needs an alternative comeback. think, winn, think! ]

Me? I can't even tell when I'm being teased - [ that was weak, dammit. ]

[passingthrough]

[She really never meant to get him so wound up about that. It was a sweet offer. She can appreciate wanting to take her there. It was just something Reid promised once. The fact that he couldn't never hurt her. It was the part where he stopped wanting her in his life that did. And even then he'd probably have let her follow along, but it wouldn't have been a good decision for either of them.]

So, all this time you've had no idea?

[winn]

[ he desperately doesn't want to hurt her. the thought of accidentally stumbling his way to it terrifies him - so something he knows is going to touch on her open wounds? he doesn't want to go anywhere near. if he fails to deliver on this, it would absolutely hurt him. it would be the worst failure of his life. he's hellbent on making it happen, and to him...everything to do with that promise is as serious as anything ever gets. if he fails at everything else, but he saves kitty's life...that would be alright. if he can't save kitty's life, than what is the point of him? ]

When you say 'all this time' you mean since you came in, or since we met?

[passingthrough]

[That is definitely way too much pressure for him to put on himself which she would tell him if she recognized any of it was happening. Maybe she'll learn him well enough to figure it out one of these days.]

Since we met. Like there was really a "before" before that. [She sneaks a kiss.]

[winn]

[ him? put too much pressure on himself? never!

he indulges in the kiss for a moment ]

That mean I have to rethink everything you've told me?

[passingthrough]

Definitely. Live in fear. [She smiles at him.] Just don't doubt that I love you. [Who needs sugary foods when they have each other?]

[winn]

[ he'll go the rest of his life without sugar if it means he gets to have kitty every day.

he smiles back, leaning in for another kiss. ]

I love you too. [ teasing is fun and all, but this is better. ]

[passingthrough]

Mmmm... OH! [Don't worry, she'd already pulled back after the kiss before the exclamation.] I didn't tell you the exciting thing!

[winn]

There's an exciting thing?

[ eyebrow is shooting up ]

[passingthrough]

Guess who I met! [She looks so eager. It is a level of eagerness my icons are not prepared to uphold!]

[winn]

Hmmm -- Superman?

[ look, it's the coolest guess he's got, even if he fully expects kara to be the one to notice first if her cousin actually showed up. ]

[passingthrough]

[She pauses for a second.] Is he here? [Shouldn't he have mentioned that already?]

[winn]

-- not that I know. So who'd you meet?

[passingthrough]

[She perks right back up.] Steve Rogers. [Enunciating both parts of his name and then making a little sound that might have been a squeal of delight.]

[winn]

[ ok. he's not sure why that's this exciting - other than the obvious man is a greek god thing - but he doubts she'd be fangirling at him about that --

kitty is fangirling. this is so weird. he's not sure how to feel about this. ]

Yeah? So did I - I'm his speed-dial tech support.

[passingthrough]

[She gives Winn an excited shove.] He did not! Seriously? [She believes. That's just cool.] He's from the past original so he probably needs it. [Isn't everyone kind of from the past originally since time keeps...nevermind.]

[winn]

[ wow she is just in. full fangirl mode. what is happening, is this what he looks like when he talks about supergirl? ]

Not that I'm complaining -- but why did I just win cool points for teaching a guy how to text?

[passingthrough]

[Only boyfriend gets to see this. Tell no one!] You taught him to text? [Okay, reign it in, Pryde.]

So, Vision mentioned Steve Rogers was in the Avengers, but I just assumed his name happened to also be Steve Rogers. I don't know he was the Steve Rogers who fought the third reich in World War II. My grandpa used to tell me stories about him. I even had an old comic book about him.

[winn]

[ oh, ok, if it's special fangirling only he gets to see, he's a whole lot more ok with it. ]

Yeah -- when you squeal about getting one remember who's behind it.

[ she can have a crush - as long as he's the one getting the sugar.

wait, ok, this just got cool for him too. ]

No way -- your world had Superheroes fighting Hitler? [ that's not fair, that should be a constant! multiverse, what are you doing! ]

[passingthrough]

I do nooot squeal. [Except she totally has and he heard her.]

And yes, see the cool here? [She kisses his cheek. He's definitely the one getting all the sugar.]

[winn]

[ his eyebrow just s l o w l y goes up at he denial.

she's a fangirl. that's so cute. ]

Ok, yeah, I'm seeing the cool. [ he smiles, happy with his sugar. ] You know, he told me to call him for anything. We're totally tight now.

[ tight, winn you met once. stop trying to show off. ]
