There has to be some convention dictating a minimal sugar amount per day.

[takingkarabusiness]

At least.

[winn]

You know messing with Supergirl is stupid enough. Depriving her of sugar? It's like they want to get their asses handed to them.

[takingkarabusiness]

Luckily they're safe for a little while longer.

So, anything else new with you?

[winn]

[ he thinks of all the big talks he's had; with jim, with kitty, with charles. he thinks of luke - somewhere out there in the multiverse, hopefully being taken care of by someone else. he thinks of all the projects that have been added to his workload. ]

Well, I have a pirate name now.

[ and goes for the most ridiculous thing that pops into his head. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you? Go on, what is it?

[winn]

Captain Nobeard.

[ very serious nod as he pulls himself back up to a proper sitting position. ]

Sascha gave it to me.

[takingkarabusiness]

What happens if you forget to shave?

[winn]

It becomes a mystery.

[ nodding. they've considered that, kara please who do you think you're dealing with here! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

What would my pirate name be?

[winn]

Hmmn - [ he rubs his chin as he considers it ] Admiral Cookie Monster. [ nod. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Seems like a really admirable position.

[winn]

You'll be feared by cookies in every continent.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's the longterm goal.

[winn]

What's the short-term?

[takingkarabusiness]

Finishing off this sleeve of donuts.

[winn]

Aye aye, Admiral! [ he salutes. that's easy. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she flops back and eats, thinking and staring at the ceiling. she's not even thinking about anything stunningly complicated. just that even though they're not exactly where she'd want to be locationally, this is probably the best place she and winn have been in their friendship. like, ever. it's a relaxing thought. ]

[winn]

[ he eats too, enjoying the comfortable silence for a moment, because he and kitty don't really have those anymore since he confessed to her that he's been keeping things in. he loves talking to her, but not every silence needs to be filled.

after a while though, he breaks it. ]

So what's new with you?

[takingkarabusiness]

I feel like you know most of what's up with me.

Have you met José? I can't remember.

[winn]

I don't think I did, no.

[takingkarabusiness]

He's a pretty great guy, but I think he's on the shy side. And not that terrible worlds are a competition, but his is pretty much terrible. And there's like, time travel involved? It's complicated.

[winn]

[ of course it is. ]

Do you ever get the feeling like ours is one of the only safe ones out there? [ well, it's under constant alien threat but it has badass alien defenders so it even out in winn's mind. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I really do, even with my family drama managing to find its way there.

Anyway, we are just friends, but he has these pretty nasty nightmares so sometimes I go over and hang out overnight? And we're not having sex or anything at all of that nature, which, I don't know why I need to tell you that at all, but it's the truth.

[ abort, kara, abort ]

I guess it's just a way I can help, powers or no.

[winn]

[ yeah he's not sure why you're telling him any of this either. raised eyebrows are raised. ]

That's -- nice. Good. That you can help. So I should meet your - friend without benefits, if he ever feels up to it -
