[ just as long as it takes barry to comment on it, it's gonna say "I wanna make a supersonic man outta you." yes, he has been building up to a queen pun this whole time. it's terrible. ]
Haven't we had this conversation before? I'm a liar, and a thief, and a murderer, Barry. That hasn't changed just because I decided travelling in time to stop a megalomaniac had some perks.
[ you know, except in all the ways it absolutely has. but he doesn't want barry to think too highly of him. doesn't want to watch whatever pedestal he's up on crumble like he thinks it inevitably will. ]
i'm not denying that you've done those things before or that you'll probably do them again but i know you there's good in you no matter how much you like to think otherwise
[this time, there's a delay. the question is one he's been asking himself from the moment he first spoke to len. canhe spend time around the man right now?]
honestly? i don't know if it's a good idea or not but i want to try

no subject
i don't know whether to laugh or groan
(though shouldn't mick be using that line
mr fahrenheit)
no subject
Probably. But it was either that or the Flash Gordon theme song.
no subject
come on
you can do better than that
no subject
[ there's a slight pause between messages. ]
Pretty sure most heroes don't goad their bad guys into flirting with them.
[ you sure you want to do that, barry? ]
no subject
[especially after sacrificing his life to save everybody]
no subject
[ you know, except in all the ways it absolutely has. but he doesn't want barry to think too highly of him. doesn't want to watch whatever pedestal he's up on crumble like he thinks it inevitably will. ]
no subject
or that you'll probably do them again
but i know you
there's good in you no matter how much you like to think otherwise
no subject
[ its a little annoying. ]
no subject
that has nothing to do with it
you're not him and i know that
all that stuff about there being good in you?
that's down to YOU
the person i knew in central city
no one else
no subject
Stop. Your optimism is making me break out in hives.
no subject
no subject
[ and none of the legends really have the faith in leonard's goodness that barry does. ]
Apparently I need to build up an immunity again so it'll stop making my nose itch. Or invest in some Benadryl.
no subject
[back home. because again, he's not comparing this len with the one from eudio. if he keeps thinking it them maybe he'll start believing it.]
we're both here so
i guess there's plenty of time to get used to it
no subject
That'd require spending time together. You sure you want to do that, given everything?
[ by which he means eudio. ]
no subject
honestly?
i don't know if it's a good idea or not but
i want to try
no subject
Can you play pool?
no subject
point me towards a library and give me a minute??
no subject
And then when you've got some free time we'll play. Maybe get a beer.
[ start to really get to know each other and see how terrible this idea of spending time together is. ]
no subject
got it
i'm free whenever you want
i mean
i'm assuming you're not planning on going while the sun's out so
yeah
any night you want
no subject
Let's say 8 at The Green Room.
no subject
hey len
i know you'll probably think i'm being soft or something but
i am glad you're here
no subject
Being glad someone familiar is around ain't soft.
[ especially in a place like this where intimacy is what literally makes the world go 'round. ]
no subject
the flash needs someone around to keep him on his toes afterall
[yeah. because that's the reason he's glad that len is back from the dead.]
