[prosecutorial]

Free for all for superhero based fandom smashing. Make a top level with your hero of choice and someone else will smash into it. I figured this would be easy and fun to do until we figure out actual plot and then we can do that.

For now, shenanignans!

Right. Tour!

[And they will head through the rest of the labs until they're back to the Cortex again.]

And that's STAR Labs.

[brokeharlem]

[he nods]

Tour.

[and so they go. and when they finish, Bruce looks suitably impressed] I'm a little jealous. [it's been awhile since he's had a proper work space, let alone one this nice. Barry is lucky to have it]

[supertardiness]

You could stick around if you want. We could use another science type.

[And Barry is always out looking for a science dad.]

[brokeharlem]

And the first time I lose it and tear this place apart?

[he'd like to stay, maybe, but. did he mention he's dangerous?]

[supertardiness]

[He pauses before inching closer as though he's letting Bruce in on some secret.]

This place is already a level four hazard zone, according to FEMA. What more are you going to do to it?

[brokeharlem]

[ ... yeah, that'll do]

Okay, then.

[supertardiness]

[And then he grins brightly.]

Great! I'll talk to Cisco and see if he can get you some space to work.

[brokeharlem]

Thanks.

[and despite how simple that answer is, there's more to it, written in his expression. Barry really doesn't know how much it means to him that this isn't a trap, that someone's honestly interested in him and letting him do science, that they're willing to trust him when, most of the time, he doesn't even trust himself. he appreciates this more than Barry knows. he'll appreciate it even more, as time passes here]

[supertardiness]

[Barry is just happy to have someone like him around, who can relate to the "freak accident" of it all, because as much as Cisco and Caitlin were effected by the particle accelerator, Barry's impact is the most pronounced.

But Barry can ready the gratitude and he grins in return.]

No problem. I think you'll like it here.

[brokeharlem]

I think I might, too.

[a beat]

Anyway, uh. [and another] Is there somewhere you want me to kind of -- [wait and not touch anything] -- while you talk to your friend? Or ... [or was he not planning on going to bug Cisco immediately?]

[supertardiness]

Oh, sure. You can wait back in the Cortex.

[And he will start to walk him back.]

If Caitlin has any questions just tell her to come find me and Cisco.

[brokeharlem]

[moving to follow him, he nods]

I'll let her know.

[probably. he has no idea who Caitlin is, but -- she probably won't be too hard to make, if and when he sees her, right? it's not like many other people are wandering around here, after all]

[supertardiness]

[Yeah, Caitlin is the only lady around. She's easy to spot. You guys can talk medical stuff!]

I'll be right back.

[brokeharlem]

I'll be here.

[and he's just going to stand here and wait either for Barry to get back or this Caitlin person to show up]

[supertardiness]

[Caitlin will, eventually, and they can have a nice chat about biology and such, but eventually Barry will return and get Bruce set up with lab space and we can call this /scene?]
