I can't rightly say. Where I come from -- when I come from -- there aren't any superheroes left. And there won't be any more for a great long time.

[ she doesn't dare count herself among that number. ]

We had one before the Flash, in Star City. We call him the Green Arrow. He doesn't have any superpowers but dude, he is seriously cool.

[ don't speak with your mouth full of candy, cisco ]

The Flash asks him for help sometimes. So see, maybe you won't have many superheroes but heroes are pretty cool too. I mean, we have one, Black Canary, ok she is - wow.

[ and ok just because he's the most excited nerd in the world, he'll take out his notebook of awesome and show her the picture they took ]

She's not a superhero either and I might have something to do with how she fights crime.

[ can he be prouder? probably not. ]

We're friends. Ish. I think.

[ murmured: ] ...Is that a wig?

[ she's not judging. after all, who is she to judge? but peggy knows a wig when she sees one. and that, sitting there on the black canary's head, is a fine wig indeed. ]

Sorry -- you're involved in how she fights crime, you said?

Well - girl's gotta protect her identity, you know? The heroes in my world they're all, well. Some morons would say vigilantes but I call it being safe.

[ he literally puffs up with pride ]

I might have helped her with her very secret weapon. that's me. When the crime fighters need help, they know they can trust me to Cisco up their gear.

Gear? [ the questions almost ask themselves. ] What, like gadgetry?

Yep. Weapons, droids defenses, security, suits for superheroes, shields, naming villains, the voice in the Flash's ear when he takes girls on really awkward dates.

[ point

to

self ]

that's all me.

The voice in his -- [ oh, that poor man. peggy tries to keep a straight face. when that fails, she simply shakes her head. ]

...Do you do lipsticks? [ she isn't making fun. hear her out. ]

He went blind once for like a day and had to take this girl on a date without letting her find out he's blind because how do you even explain that. You had to be there.

[ the things he does for barry, honestly.

squint ]

....you mean the kind that kills?

[ is he terrified or excited, one cannot tell. ]

Heavens, no. [ AGHAST. ] A sound slumber will do.

A Goodnight Kiss. That reminds me of someone.

[ huh. give him a second to daydream about lisa snart. ]

Yeah, I mean, it won't be too hard. I'll need a lipstick for the pigments so I could use them for the duplicate one it should take about.

[ humming ]

12 hours. ish.

[ a curt nod. she can furnish him with a sample.

but her curiousity makes her smile: ] -- Who does it remind you of, hm?

Oh. She's um, well. She's a friend. ish. I mean, she kidnapped me once which, duh, I know, weird way to start a friendship. She's not like you. I mean, she's a thief and she enjoys robbing banks and being a drama queen but she's also, you know.

[ why did you have to ask about that. ]

She's. Not just that, I mean, you know, I helped her once and she - well, we kissed but it was once. She's Captain Cold's little sister.

[ ... ]

I call her Golden Glider.

[ so dreamy. ]

[ wryly: ] And did you... fall asleep after this kiss?

[ she's not quite letting cisco off the hook for this comparison. at the moment, she can't quite suss it out. ]

Wha - no I didn't - but I mean, if I did? I wouldn't be surprised. She has all sorts of weird weapons up her sleeve. I mean, a gun that turns people into solid gold?

[ one thing is for certain ]

.......I have weird taste in women. You know, she's actually not the weirdest girl I sort-of-dated. I think my record is set at the one who remembered her past life as an ancient Egyptian princess who could grow wings and she flew off into the sunset with her total dick of an ancient Egyptian boyfriend.

[ -- good lord. how, she wonders, has the conversation brought them so abruptly to his taste in women? peggy isn't certain she wants to be found amid such...illustrious company. she clears her throat. stays stiff, and a little icy. ]

You're a very...talkative sort, aren't you? [ ahem. ] I'm sorry. Did you just say she grew wings?

[ oh peggy can't help herself. this is too fascinating. ]

Hey, you asked.

[ no, cisco, she really didn't. ]

Yeah. She and her magical boyfriend can fly. Only he's such a dick he couldn't get her to have confidence in herself. It took a while for her to be able to do the whole Hawk thing.

[ the most wry of looks ]

I know. weird. Apparently, she and her magical dick of a boyfriend were cursed to always be together and always fall in love and again - I know, weird.

What, like -- past lives and all that malarkey?

[ she might be a twinge romantic at heart, but this sounds straight out of one of those tacky bodice-rippers. her nose crinkles.

she almost wishes she doesn't feel so compelled to ask. except cisco's commentary is colourful. curious. ]

That's the one. Complete with the villain that always rips them apart. He boyfriend remembered all their past lives, she was only starting to. they went off to find a way to finally dispose of weird immortal Egyptian villain.

[ a sigh ]

so you know, in that regard, I never really choose a chance. I mean, if you love someone for three thousand years, that's it.

Time makes some feelings rather...insurmountable, I suppose. [ a second awkward clearing of her throat. ] And three thousand years is an awful lot of it.

[ time. ]

You'd expect a girl to get bored. I mean that guy was an asshole. Killer abs, though.

[ WHAT. they were his only redeeming quality. ]

but I like to think that all this weirdness of girlfriends who grew wings and girls who rob banks led me to a good place. I mean, I am positively sure the girl I am going to ask out doesn't grow wings and will be appalled by the idea of committing heinous crimes. Add that to the fact that she can kick most of our asses and that she's the smartest person I know, and I think I have beat down my odd taste in women. Also, she's British, which.

[ he gestures towards Peggy ]

Badass with an accent.

-- The girl you're going to ask? It sounds as though you've nearly-dated an awful lot. [ but then again, who was she to judge? until recently, she fell under a very similar heading. similar enough to make her fidget for a moment.

awkward chuckling acknowledges his gesture. she isn't certain she enjoys the notion of anyone being boiled down to a laundry list of perceived virtues. ] What's her name?

Hey, she and I know each other for months and we're friends. I mean, we meet up all the time and we talk and once I took her to a carnival which could have been a date but I never actually said the word date so this time, I am going to go all out and actually say it.

[ super seriously. ]

Hermione Granger. You'd like her, she's a genius and she has magic. It's the coolest thing in the world.
