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.

[mostlyajerk]

So he's doing badly, not getting help and sitting somewhere knowing he can't expect visitors. I've been there. It's not a nice feeling.

So, yes, I'll bring him comics.

[viber]

You're not like him! You're not a killer, you were barely in there for a week and you had some pretty evil intents, dude, we didn't do it to be dicks. I let you out a LOT.

He can't expect visitors because he tries to kill everyone he knows.

[mostlyajerk]

That's not what I meant. I meant being in hospital. Or actually, you know, just growing up. There's a lot of ways to be lonely.

He's never tried to kill me. We were part of the same group for a while. A short while, but then, I wasn't part of your team for long either.

[viber]

Fine. Whatever. Sorry for getting involved in your business but I take attempts on my life seriously.

I'm sorry.

We sort of dropped the ball a lot that year. I should have called but

[mostlyajerk]

I know that Axel is a criminal. I don't think he should be running free. I just don't think people get better by treating them worse.

But you didn't and that's fine. Thank you for the comic recommendations, Cisquito.

Peace out.

[viber]

You know that he refuses treatment, right? I'm reading his Iron Heights file right now. Doesn't paint a great picture for his future.

I just want you to be careful so... be careful.

See you.
