Have you looked at those suits you designed?

It's not the place for me, I know that. Don't worry about it, Cisquito, it's not like I was ever that eager to go back to working at STAR labs.

What's sucking so much?

[viber]

Leather is the best material.

I know but -- dude, I
I don't know.

Everything is different now and it's just never been the same since Wells left.

[mostlyajerk]

I won't argue with you. I love my boots.

Wells? Huh. You still never know your audience, Cisco, do you?

How's your girlfriend?

[viber]

they are pretty cool.

I know you had your issues with him but
Fine, we won't talk about it. No one ever talks about it.

She's okay. I think. Hasn't spoken to me in a while.

[mostlyajerk]

We can talk about it if you want. I'm just not sure what you want to hear. Everything he's ever given us was so that we would feel at home, because he was manipulating us to do what he needed us to do. Of course it left a hole. Maybe it's why I can't make a connection with anyone. Maybe it's why you can't be happy with things now. Who knows? I'd tell you how to move forward if I knew.

You are very long-distance. I'm sure she'll get back to you soon.

[viber]

He made me feel like I finally had a place in the world and now I don't have that again and it just feels strange, you know? I feel like everyone around me keeps changing and I can't keep up.

Everyone moves forward and I don't want to.

Or not. Maybe she's done. Maybe I'm done. I never know sometimes. I don't know -- like, I guess, I mean.

Love. It's difficult.

[mostlyajerk]

You have changed a lot too. You have your powers. You have the Flash. And you have that man who has a name that won't need to be changed for the porn version. Elongated Man, seriously?

You've already moved forward. That's life.

I couldn't tell you, Cisquito. I don't have much experience when it comes to love. I don't even have much experience when it comes to friendship. But they always say that when it's meant to be, it's meant to be, so maybe that's more than just a platitude.

1/2

[viber]

I know, right? This is what happened when I don't pick the name.

I guess I have no frame of reference. I fell in love for the first time at 27 and I don't even know if it's love because how do I know? HOW? And what if I already found love, huh? What if I found love and I ran out on it?

What if I'm a dumbass and I never workout what love is and I die alone and

2/2

[viber]

woah, sorry, that got real.

I've been drinking.

SO GAY COMICS. Idk man, read Apollo.

[mostlyajerk]

I think love isn't for me. I just have rats. They are lovely. Get some rats, Cisquito.

Apollo? Like the Greek God?

[viber]

My apartment has a no pets rule :( which is sad, I wanted lizards

He's Midnighter's boyfriend. You'll see when you read Midnighter.

[mostlyajerk]

That's just cruel. Smuggle the rats in, Cisco, resist the Man.

Great. I run around in dark leather and I don't have any Greek godlike man expressing interest. Boo.

[viber]

I got Fish at Star Labs. They're my bros now.

Well, I mean, comics are one big let down. I never get any of the fantasies come true. Including one very specific Captain America fantasy I will not discuss but will also not deny.

[mostlyajerk]

Careful, you'll threaten your sexuality.

But thank you for your expertise. I'll see what comics I can get into prison.

[viber]

You suck.

Also
wait

What???

[mostlyajerk]

Oh, Cisquito, you have no idea how well.

I'm visiting someone in prison. He wants comics.

[viber]

who?

Gimme deets. Maybe Barry knows him.

[mostlyajerk]

Axel Walker. I think you are both familiar.

[viber]

WHAT?

NO, DO NOT GIVE HIM JUGHEAD AND MIDNIGHTER, HE DOESN'T DESERVE IT.

HE TRIED TO KILL ME. WITH ACID.

[mostlyajerk]

He's off his meds and struggling and he's already in prison. You don't have to punish him worse.

He's never even managed to kill anyone.

[viber]

Not for lack of trying!

He's psychotic and dangerous. And maybe he should be punished more!

[mostlyajerk]

Like what? Lock him into a room without any privacy, constant surveillance and no company outside interrogations?

Time to reopen your prison wing.

[viber]

that's not what I mean. You know we regret that.

You can't reward someone like Axel!

[mostlyajerk]

I'd ask you to ask Barry if he thinks that giving someone a comic to read to not be bored out of his skull for a few minutes is a reward in prison or just human decency, but you might be better off asking someone who actually has no choice about staying there.

I promise, Axel will still feel punished.

[viber]

He's just dangerous, is all. He has to just serve his time and get better. The guy is seriously off his head and he really needs help that you can't give him.

Whatever. Give him the comics. If that's how you feel.
