Two? -- I guess that kinda makes sense, cold and speed are opposites, and they always somehow manage to have just the worst powers.
[ its so inconsiderate. can't supervillains ever just have powers that have no influence over the hero? they'd come up, all gung-ho, and then it'll literally just feel like they're tickling them or something? statistically, at least one has to have useless powers, right! ]
Smart - [ definitely impressed there, picking up a firefighter's turnout to build off of is resourceful. ] what'd you upgrade it with?
Ah that's awesome - can't wait to see it! So you're like - an engineer back home, too?
[ now he feels like kara got jiffed with his suit, all it does is cover her up. it does it well - it's sturdy and takes everything she puts it through which is a lot to ask from any fabric. but it doesn't really do anything additional. of course, kara has so many superpowers she doesn't really need the aid of a super suit -- but it sure would have been cool if he could make her one anyway. ]
mechanical engineer, yeah man, that's me. And a vital part of Team Flash. Or - the you of Team Flash, me and Kara decided that. Or - you're the me of Team Supergirl. wait am i the you of Team Flash or are you the me of Team Supergirl?
[ he is so ok with being the you of team supergirl, cisco. ]
Well - more like a me - or - I'm a you - cuz I'm - I'm the computer genius, not the mechanical engineer. I mean, I can whip up sick toys I just -- it's faster when the DEO takes care of those? I need to expend. [ his sidekicking pride is hurting here. ]
That's my job too. I mean, here and at home, I make the toys and I'm there to make sure the ones that need improvements are Cisco'ed.
[ a little long suffering look ]
is she taking care of the suit? 'cause let me tell you, he really doesn't sometimes. I think he forgets that while I make extras, it breaks my heart to see them destroyed. literally. heartbroken.
Not so much destruction so far, but that's more to do with how sturdy my suits - and Kara - are, less her being careful. She just - [ whooshing with his hand ] straight into danger.
[ he gets to admire it because alex is there to tell her to stop and think and the deo has her back. but it's still scary and worrying sometimes. ]
Not really -- though man, if they ever work together that'd be epic - but Kara's not into it. You know, he was established before her, and he's a man - she's a hero in her own right and she wants people to see that, you know? So she takes care of National City, and he takes care of Metropolis.
[ ok, be fair Winn. ]
And the world. But National City is basically an evil-alien magnet, so it's a lotta work! Does the Flash work with anyone else?
That's awesome - archer heroes are way more common than I would've thought -
[ but it's a cool weapon so he sure doesn't mind. and if the green arrow is anywhere near as cool as hawkeye! (kate, not clint, he can't vouch for clint) it must be really awesome to watch him in action.
but he nods sympathetically as cisco continues. ]
It sucks, it can never just be cool when they kick ass. [ it has to always also be awful. ]

Date: 2016-05-12 10:11 pm (UTC)[ the first time has been traumatic enough. barry had forgiven him, of course but cisco still blames himself for the entire matter.
in a way, didn't he create Captain Cold? ]
I can track it all over town, it has the comm inside so he can be in contact with us all the time.

No wonder they hit it off so well. I still can't believe I won't be there to see it. I should demand a redo.

Date: 2016-05-14 05:50 pm (UTC)[ he doesn't want to say goodbye to cisco forever, ok. ]

Date: 2016-05-14 06:17 pm (UTC)[ already going with this idea ]
They might have named one of their strongest coffees after the Flash. He thinks it's really funny.

Date: 2016-05-14 06:30 pm (UTC)[ it doesn't even have to be named after supergirl. she has that effect as kara danvers. ]

Date: 2016-05-14 06:42 pm (UTC)hey there, I'll have two superhnuts and a Flash -
[ oh my god the geekdom ]

[ that makes him think of superman's...no. ]

Are they a crime fighting team? Superman and Supergirl to the rescue? I am still waiting for a female speedster.

sometimes he works with the Green Arrow from Starling City. He's seriously awesome, no superpowers or anything but he is legit awesome.

Date: 2016-05-18 02:52 am (UTC)[ why can't they all just be awesome? well, there would be a lot fewer badass fights to watch. ]
Green Arrow -- archer? [ the bow is a surprisingly popular superhero weapon, wow. ]
action;
Date: 2016-05-23 09:56 pm (UTC)[ barry is still better but still. ]
Friend of the Flash and when they team up, it's seriously awesome. and terrifying. since those times are usually...also terrifying.
[ never forget eobard thawne. ]

Our team-up is pure awesome. [ you know. cuz they just make the cool things. no villains required for their team ups! ]
