[uprightness]

She is. I'm glad you two are getting along.

[ he looks over at her with a little grin ]

So. Is this everything you've ever dreamed of when you were trying to fix me up with every woman who ever worked for SHIELD?

[ it's mostly teasing. She has worried so much about his dating life, after all. ]

[wolfehawke]

[That earns an amused snort. He does actually know Allen's last name. In fact, when Crowley had mentioned him, it prompted a little research on Wolfe's part. Seeing the state the man was in previously he'd rejected the notion of asking him for help. Skill-wise he was perfect but his condition after helping Sorey and his friend wasn't great.

He looks better now, though. As hesitant as Adalwolfe was, the argument he'd had recently with Anders had put into stark relief just how dire it was getting that Vengeance had to be separated, and now that they had even the spirit's blessing for it. well.

But he can't just out with it. That would be rude. Perhaps a bit of small talk first as they walk.]

So, how long have you been in the fleet?

[monolike]

Well, he'd probably like something that's not so obvious...something that's like, really vague? Where you're talking about something but as a representation of something else. Not a metaphor...

[monolike]

What all can you do, actually? I know you can put someone to sleep. [time to forge into the great unknown, put on ur adventuring heels]

[wolfehawke]

What? No! Not a test subject, look.

[He takes the potion back for a moment and dabs some on his arm then thrusts his arm out for Sorey to see. Where he's rubbed the potion, his arm hair is significantly longer already, a full inch over the rest of his arm.]

It works on body hair, I just don't if it'll grow hair where there isn't any. I can't really test that.

[He's a sorta hairy guy, even if it's light so its somewhat hard to tell.]

I wouldn't just give you something that might turn you into a bear untested. What do you take me for?

[experiencepoints]

I've got sleep, poison, and my Ice and Lightning can inflict Slow and Paralysis in addition to their damage, though the chance is low.

[monolike]

That's a human thing? [Well, dang. That makes him feel a bit better.]

[monolike]

Ahaha. You have plenty of things to say when it comes to animals, though. I'll be counting on you!

[wolfehawke]

Oh good. That would have been weird.

[He's game though, whatever you wanna do. Lead on!]

[uprightness]

It's almost like a jungle in here.

[ enhanced eyesight or not, this will be a challenge for him, too if it keeps getting even more dense. ]

If we don't have a landmark, we might as well make one. We can mark one of these trees.

[brainiest]

[ She frowns, considering for a moment. ]

Well, what sort of things does he like? Generally?

[brainiest]

I'm not that small!

[ She puffs out her cheeks a little, but it's obvious she's trying not to smile. ]

[magicpanchira]

You've met Polly? Red suit, overly gelled hair, and REALLY loud? If so, that's him!

[mucked]

[ a nod to the captain's shield. ]

Are you volunteering? [ peggy took her gun, today, and not her knife. ] Unless you've got a blade, Natasha, then the shield might be our best tool.

[foxpas]

Yes, the horned man. He is on the same ship as I.

[magicpanchira]

Cool! You should ask him about his experience with panties! He's one of my very best friends!

[foxpas]

[oh my god no. Her face is making a valiant attempt to imitate the color of her hair.]

I- I think that would be quite inappropriate!!

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles and nods] Yeah, it is. It's a very human thing.

For us, it's better to break things down into smaller pictures. Focus on one small objective at a time that'll get you closer to the larger things you want to accomplish. Think of it like learning a language: first you learn the alphabet, then simple words and phrases, then whole sentences, and so on. You don't try to tackle the entire language at once. The same applies here.

You're in your first year of being a Shepherd. I can imagine you still have a lot to learn. With Lailah and Kanda here now, there's enough support that you can actually take the time to learn it.

[ladybro]

[ -- he still looks a little like he's feeling it. katie sets a light hand on his shoulder. familiar, but not too familiar. ]

You need some water, Cis? Maybe you need to lie down?

[benames]

I'm fine. Just - 99% freaked out.

[ and 1% curious about this whole thing ]

Listen - about alla this.

[ he looks down at the coffee mug ]

There's something I gotta tell you but you can't freak out. Seriously, one of us has to be at least 60% calm.

[wolfehawke]

For now, why don't we just continue our stroll, hm?

[He leans in and presses a kiss to Anders' cheek, taking his arm as if they're just going to take a pleasant afternoon walk and not foraging under a canopy of alien mushroom trees for a magical crystal.

Their lives are so weird.]

it might be a good time for a lesson, though, if you're up for it.

[ladybro]

[ -- her face betrays a twinge of concern. ]

I'm good with calm. I'm really, really good with calm. You tell me whatever you gotta tell me -- I promise to be that sixty percent. Sixty percent plus one.

[ since ciso is ninety-nine percent freaked. ]

[wolfehawke]

Oh, Nightingale! Fancy meeting you out here.

[He grins at her, then looks back at the pod.]

That might be a good thing, right? All the better to bludgeon my enemies with.

[He holds it up to the end with the dragon's mouth.]

...Nah, you're right, that looks ridiculous.

[benames]

When I was working in S.T.A.R labs, I thought I was helping my ultimate role model of doom to build his most important metaphorical baby - it was a particle accelerator. But the day it was activated it also exploded. It was how the Flash was created. Him and a whole long list of insane meta-humans.

[ it's not going to make sense no matter what he says so he decides to stick to the basic summary of that year and the one that followed ]

The Flash's mother was murdered by another speedster, we called him the Reverse Flash. To make a really long story short, the Reverse Flash traveled in time to kill the Flash as a kid and when he couldn't, he killed his mom but then he got stuck in that time and had to create the Flash to use his speed to go back to his time.

[ .... ]

I know. Anyway. Turns out the Reverse Flash was my ultimate role model of actual doom. I mean, not really, he killed him and somehow took over his looks but he made that thing explode on purpose so the Flash can become the Flash and I am only telling you this whole thing because that night changed me too. I'm a meta, like the Flash and all those other metas. He called me the Vibe and I think what I felt smashed together with my vibes to create one giant headache. Now you have a minute to use the 40% of freaking out time and then maybe I can try and explain to you what the Vibes are.

[ladybro]

[ -- it's a lot to hear. a lot to listen to. luckily for the both of them, kate isn't a stranger to the problems of twisted timelines. but every timeline's twist is rather unique. and every twist comes with its own pain. it's own tension. and this one sounds particularly tense for both cisco and his friends.

kate slides her hand down from cisco's shoulder and instead grabs his hand. she squeezes it tight. ] He betrayed you. He was important to you -- and he betrayed you. [ that much she can absolutely understand -- and she does so without a twinge of freak. powered people surround her every day. the surprise is only that cisco felt so determined to keep it a secret. ]

And now you're something you never thought you'd be. That's understandable. [ she can guess what vibes are. cisco's always been on the nose with names. even so: ] What are vibes, Cisco?
