[ the first thing that comes up is loud music. cisco is in his lab listening to music in full volume, working on what seems to be a pair of speakers as well as colorful tea bag holders when suddenly he stops, looking ahead, somewhat disoriented and then shouts, just above the music. ]

Ok, the sooner we leave this stupid planet the better!!! before I will go all The Shining on the Atroma's sorry alien asses!!

[ and a moment later, a text message. ]

If you're going to check out the wreckage, be careful. Trust me, seeing the replay of what happened to the it when it went down isn't fun.

I'm suffering from daymares, yo, the least you can do is make sure you know what you're doing down there.

I've been told I'm bossy in every situation.

[ She leans up to kiss his cheek, though, fingers brushing his jaw before she leads him away. ]

Someone has to be otherwise nothing would get sorted out.

[benames]

I ain' complaining - I think you're A++ in everything. Bossy is super useful and really cute.

[ and evidently just cute enough for him to listen to her and follow. ]

It's been a while since I've had one of these babies. There's something about the wreckage.

[brainiest]

At least someone appreciates it. I do try my best.

[ It's easy then to tug him along, gently, her fingers slipping down to take his. ]

It's probably because it's a wreckage, if I was going to make a guess. It's too close to something awful.

[benames]

I started thinking about it. The vibe only showed me the ship going down. It wasn't a fleet.

[ he considers for a moment, lets his thumb rub circles against her knuckles. ]

they weren't exactly like us.

[brainiest]

[ Frowning, Hermione squeezes his hand gently. ]

But there were... People?

[benames]

Yeah, yeah there were, they were human.

[ or - ]

I mean, they looked like humans and they acted like humans. If they had any supernatural abilities, those were definitely water-proof if you know what I mean.

[brainiest]

Well, some of us have supernatural abilities and don't look at all like it, so I suppose we should give them the benefit of the doubt.

[ Pausing outside his room, she watches with a gentle expression. ]

Let's go lie down for a bit.

[benames]

Yeah.

[ he nods, tries to put the details together as they walk. ]

There's a wreckage in the water, there was a wreckage in the forest a few planets ago. Those ships sure did look familiar in both cases, right? You think that's what they have planned for us?

[brainiest]

I don't know. I think they're underestimating how dangerous we can be if that's the case.

[ She frowns, dragging him to his room and towards his bed. In charge, as ever. ]

I don't intend to let anything like that happen.

[benames]

I just keep thinking you know, it could all be related.

[ he flops back, throws an arm over his eyes. ]

Maybe those were the last two rounds of --- guests in this fleet. Maybe it's not the Atroma who did that. Maybe they lost control.

[brainiest]

[ She settles down, sitting on the edge of the bed as she reaches to brush hair from his face. ]

We can't know for sure and I don't think we have a way to investigate it right now. [ Which is annoying. ] It's not as if we can just ask the Atroma...

[benames]

I could try going down there again.

[ not his best plan but she's right. it may be their only way to find out anything else beside what he's already seen. ]

See if maybe I can vibe anything else.

[brainiest]

Is that really a good idea?

[ Hermione frowns, stopping so that she can shift and lay down beside him. ]

Cisco, this is already hurting you so much. I understand wanting to learn more, but is it worth the cost? The risk?

[benames]

It could help against Atroma.

[ he nudges sideways, making room for her. ]

Maybe it'll be worth it.

[brainiest]

Alright. When you go I'm going with you.

[ It's not even a question; it just is. ]

[benames]

You can't say we don't get to go on interesting dates.

[ he smiles, trying to ease her worry. ]

battling sea-monsters, uncovering seconds, facing perils, very romantic.

[brainiest]

We're definitely not going to be bored.

[ Leaning in, she gives him a kiss. ]

It wouldn't be right otherwise, would it?
