I'm not impressionable, I'm just easy to manipulate.

[spacebro]

I...have never noticed that. [Except that time he got him to let him out of the DEO.]

[winn]

Easy to manipulate, Mon-El, not dumb.

[spacebro]

No one could think of you as dumb.

[winn]

[ you'd be surprised at what people can think of him... ]

Don't underestimate people.

[spacebro]

If they think something like that they aren't worth thinking much about.

[winn]

You're getting some pretty great impressions so far, gotta say.

[spacebro]

How do you mean?

[winn]

That was a very Kara line.

[spacebro]

[Mon-El smiles at that.] She's a good person to be more like.

[winn]

She is. [ he nods ] But so are you, so don't go changing too much.

[spacebro]

[That gets a smile out of him.] Same to you. I should get to know Kitty to see if you say Kitty-like things.

[winn]

[ he laughs ]

After a year, I'd be shocked if I don't.

[spacebro]

Did you ever think we'd both be in happy relationships?

[winn]

Back home? Not really. [ he shakes his head. ] I mean, you probably would've but my dating life was a tragedy before I joined the DEO's always-on-call lifestyle.

[spacebro]

That surprises me about you. And I don't think I would have been happy with anyone but Kara.

[winn]

Does it?

[ he kinda feels like he does standing next to james when he stands next to mon-el - like he's a ridiculous prototype for this humanoid looking thing. not to mention his unfortunate tendency to babble and be as uncool as humanly possible around attractive women.

he gets a smile at that second comment though. he's really happy for them. ]

[spacebro]

Of course. It feels much more natural for you to be giving all your affections to someone like you are here.

[winn]

[ oh yeah that part comes as naturally to him as breathing. ]

It is. [ he smiles. ] Especially when it's not just someone. [ he's gonna marry that woman. he just has to hold onto that thought. ]

[spacebro]

Someone special?

[winn]

Someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.

[ his fingers play with the empty shell. it feels nice, saying it out loud to someone other than kitty. ]

[spacebro]

Really? [He is surprised but in a warm sort of way.] Have you asked her?

[winn]

No - no, not officially. We talk about it, though. Wanting to get married, start a family. What our lives would be like back in National City.

[spacebro]

Wow. I didn't realize it was that serious. That's great. [Reaching over to clasp his shoulder.] I'm surprised Kara hasn't mentioned it.

[winn]

[ there is a light blush and goofy grin there ] Thanks.

[ about that, though... ] That's probably cuz she doesn't know. This is...the first time I've ever said it to someone who isn't Kitty. [ and it feels really good. does that mean he's ready for it? he's still not sure, but it definitely feels like a step in the right direction. ]
