[ sidetracked - he jumps to his feet too and gives cisco a warm hug before heading to the bar with him. he hasn't really touched his beer yet, but now that the mood isn't so gloomy, he'll catch up easily enough so he may as well get the next one. ]
She's -- she's Kara. She's strong, she never stays down for long.
[ but he knows how hard being here is on her. what happened with hank wasn't helping, neither was his reaction to it. he tries his hardest, but it never seems to be quite enough, and it takes all the cheer right out of him to think about it. ]
The game'll help. And she asked me to add emoji to the network - how're you at drawing? Wanna give me a hand?
[ Kara's nice, after all. she reminds him of barry in her happy go lucky way but being a bff of the latter, Cisco knows the cheer and smile can hide many other things beneath. It probably doesn't help when she wants to be Supergirl, strong for everybody's sake. ]
I'm not the best but I think we can whip a few emojis.
[ he nods. nothing ever feels like enough - every time he tries to help her, he feels like he somehow just ends up making things worse. she's supergirl and he's superfail. ]
Hey, if they suck they'll make her laugh, I'll take that.
It's a hard in a space-world without comfort food. With Caitlin, I usually buy her ice cream and 3 scoops later - new person. Got us through really weird times.
[ and difficult ones but he was already enough of a debbie downer today ]
the worst feeling is that some people might be eating popcorn and enjoying her heartbreak - I WILL GET YOU -
[ whoa - dude. he actually jumps back a little bit cuz that was unexpected, but he nods along in earnest agreement. ]
It's support team's turn to save the day. And show the multiverse why you don't mess with the nerds.
[ he has dreams sometimes cisco. such glorious dreams of viruses infecting every system they've got, sending them back to the fucking stone age where they belong. you do not use tech for evil. you just do not. especially not to hurt his best friend. ]
Huh, is her metabolism different than ours? because if it is, she is really like Barry as far as eating goes. I once saw him go through 14 stacks of pancakes and that was before we hit the Chinese restaurant.
[ shaking his head. you'll get used to the dramatics, winn ]
So basically....like Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day!
Then she totally is like Barry -- I wonder who'll win in a pie eating contest - at potstickers it's totally gonna be Kara, she's a bottomless pit for those - and pizza - and ice cream - actually, yeah, my money's on Kara -
[ his money is always on kara though. you get an excited smile there, cisco. ]
Forget the fat lady. You're obsessed with fat lady. Just get us out of here!
Ok, this argument is futile. Barry's not here, we can't test this theory and I cannot kick your ass at a wager over him winning when the loser has to eat a whole bottle of cheese-flavored gel. You would have lost though.
I don't see them bringing Barry here. Unlike Kara, he doesn't need the sun and if he were fast enough to some end up on earth-3, he could get us out here with the proper Cisco'ed treadmill.
I know - we really need to get a move on with the real food thing -
[ shaking his head.
wait, what? ]
Mrs. wh-? [ cisco you can't just say things like that! jkdfhg ] You mean Kitty? [ running a hand through his hair ] Actually, I got to the bottom of what -- happened there. She just, she... [ it feels weird thinking it let alone saying it. ] uh, she was insecure. [ don't ask him, man. he doesn't get it either. ]
