It'd be kind of lousy to be a survivor of two dead planets. Plus, my cousin is still there, and my sister and her mom.

[athru]

Then you need to go back to them. They're important. I understand that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Would you rather stay here?

[athru]

[ The answer comes quickly, and almost too easily; ]

Only as long as the others are here.

[ Hank, Charles, Erik, Moira. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Makes sense to me. Sometimes people are more of a home than any place.

[athru]

Buildings aren't very good at being homes.

[ Especially not when those buildings are mansions, rising high, filled with anger and sadness. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Yeah, they give the worst hugs.

[athru]

[ ... Raven raises her eyebrow. ]

Only if you hug them first.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she laughs ]

Yeah, I guess that's awkward.

[athru]

Just a little bit. More awkward than hugging a stranger?

[takingkarabusiness]

Not for me, but I'm kind of a hugger. Maybe for you?

[athru]

Maybe. I'm definitely not a hugger. [ Which she thinks might be obvious. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess here it's especially unappealing.

[athru]

They keep trying to touch me. It's as if I don't have a big sign that says 'don't touch, will get mad' hanging around me.

[takingkarabusiness]

We could make you one. "Danger: Do Not Touch"

[athru]

Can it have flashing lights?

[takingkarabusiness]

Easy as pie. Easier, even. I know a guy.

[athru]

[ Raven raises an eyebrow. ]

Which one?

[takingkarabusiness]

My best friend, Winn. Though Cisco or Hank could do it too. I wonder if they make Raspberry Pi in space...

[athru]

I think Cisco might go overboard. And Hank would argue against it.

[ Cisco who had been a pain in the backside but had bought her a cupcake, so all's good. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Winn's got taste and discretion.

Well, sometimes.

[athru]

Sometimes. [ That's not exactly inspiring confidence, you know... ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ you're not being serious around this right ]

He can scale it back.

[athru]

[ No......... ]

It would be fashionable, I bet.

[takingkarabusiness]

He made my superhero outfit actually! He has skills.
