if you don't actually have chocolate than this is seriously cruel

:(

[takingkarabusiness]

okay, fair. i don't have chocolate.

but you're not you when you're hungry?

[ maybe you don't have that campaign on flash-earth ]

[benames]

cruel :(

i'm always hungry

food on the fleet sucks

[takingkarabusiness]

it was a... never mind.

is everything ok? you seem kind of... uncharacteristically grumpy.

[benames]

well

i'm still a girl

caitlin is still stuck on the marsiva

and I had to see my best friend as

girl

[takingkarabusiness]

i'm almost positive all of that is temporary.

want to hang out?

[benames]

I really want to be me before she leaves the Marsiva

if they make me give her our first hug in 4ever as a girl, I will be pissed off.

I'm on my way.

action

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she thinks he's being dramatic but will be waiting for him in the bay when he arrives ]

action

[benames]

[ when he climbs off the shuttle he goes straight to her and, looking around and making sure no one is listening he just gives it like it is ]

This has to stay between you and me and Caitlin and Winn, ok?

[ a little sigh ]

She think Barry is dead.

[ and hurriedly ]

which he's not. He never is. She's - she's been hurt. That's why.

[takingkarabusiness]

...

Let's go to my room.

[ and they go and once they're in it with the door closed, she speaks ]

Okay, back up? One of the first things I told her was to be careful with timeline stuff. Is she from later than you are?

[benames]

Seriously later. I don't know how any of this will affect the main timeline, I mean we're out of it but are we still in it somehow?

[ wait now is not the time ]

We've been dealing with a seriously psychotic creep for a while and he hurt her. He made her think Barry is dead but he's a lying scumbag, so.

[takingkarabusiness]

But you don't know for sure, right?

[benames]

I know for sure. Barry's not dead. That creep lied to Caitlin, he wanted to hurt her because he's a lying scumbag who lies and Barry'll make a toast out of him once he finds out. grilled toast of evil speedster.

[ ugh. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ okay, that approach isn't going to work. she thinks for a moment how to calm cisco down ]

Okay, okay. I think it's very likely that Caitlin was being lied to. I don't know the whole situation, but Barry's pretty resourceful. But do you think having such a strong insistence is helpful to Caitlin right now? She might feel like you don't believe her experience.

[benames]

We talked. I think she - sorta believes me. I mean, he did lie to us about everything since the moment we've met so I think she accept one more lie on top of all the million others.

[ ... ]

we have to somehow be prepared. if he comes here, it'll be like Space Apocalypse. Kara, she says Barry gave him his speed.

[takingkarabusiness]

Okay, well, I didn't give him my speed. Plus, I can fly, shoot laser beams from my eyes, use freeze breath, and I'm really strong, and can hold my breath for like awhile. I'd put him out an airlock quickly, okay? And Kitty and Winn are really close to getting me back to 100%. Between the X-Men and me, we'd definitely have it in hand.

[benames]

He's - really fast. I'm going to work on a way to make him slower. At home he'd keep running away to his earth but he can't really run into outer space.

[ muttering ]

though I'd like to see him try.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm fast, too. It was my speed combined with Barry's that got him back home. But yeah, the vast empty vacuum of space is a good contingency plan.

[benames]

Ok. I gotta find a way to build a program that would create a hologram of Zoom so you could practice your moves according to his speed.

[ if he didn't use speed mirages maybe it means that he's slower than the massive fucker Eobard Thawne. best be ready for them both. just in case. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Ok. Sounds good. And Kitty and Winn will keep working on getting my powers back to 100.

[benames]

Right.

[ and then, his hand touches her arm ]

listen, I didn't mean to sound like I'm doubting you. I'm just- whatever Caitlin's seen in awful and Zoom is seriously cray and you're my friend and I didn't see you kick ass yet so I guess I forgot Supergirl and went with my Kara vibe.

[ vibe. hahaha..ha ]

you'll kick his ass to the curve.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she moves to hold his hand ]

Thanks. It's just been hard, lately. You're not the only person to go that way. Not a lot of opportunities to remind people I'm pretty good at what I do, but a heck of a lot of opportunities to stick my foot in my mouth.

[ she laughs a little, softly ]

I was so confused about why people would eat their feet when I first heard that.

[benames]

[ he huffs a laughter that comes out way too girly than he imagined it would ]

I guess most of us are used to Kara rather than to Supergirl but, you know.

[ he nudges her ]

I believe in Supergirl.

[takingkarabusiness]

Thanks.

I feel like Barry just has to show up here, you know? I'm not sure he'd like it much. It's hard for us heroing types. But it'd be pretty great if you ask me.
