on sweven and possible canon updates.

[invisibilities]

I don't want an update. Or to go to some new place.

You should put me back and find someone else.

[ pause while he stares and judges. ]

So you'd rather get burned with all the rest of them?

[ look, that is not what he wants! god what a fucking idiot. what if simon gets hurt, or gets into some ballsed up trouble that he can't get out of because he's too fucking busy trying to save everyone else?! ]

Fucking hell, man, you're taking this whole hero idea way too seriously. All of this was a stupid fucking accident! No one in their right mind would make us into superheroes.

[invisibilities]

I'd rather keep some of them from getting burned.

[ nathan stop judging him. 8C ]

We were given these powers for a reason. Maybe we're meant to be superheroes.

[undeathed]

[ no never, this is why he's here. ]

Oh, come on, man, that has to be the most ridiculous fucking thing I've ever heard. Look at us, Barry! We're screw-ups! We've always been, we're nobody's heroes.

We got these powers when we were on community fucking service! What does that tell you?

[invisibilities]

We've helped people.

[ well, kind of... ]

[undeathed]

By accident! And only when it helped us which, by the way, is exactly how it should be. Listen, Barry, we're the good guys, okay? We're just also the staying alive guys. Now obviously for me, that's not a problem. But I'm not the one with the swirly tattoo mark of death thing all over my wrist, know what I'm saying man?

[invisibilities]

It's not a death mark.

[ not that simon knows for certain but... ]

[undeathed]

Really? [ he is so disbelieving right now. ]

Well, forgive me for not seeing the blindingly obvious explanation for what it actually is, then. Run it by me again?

[invisibilities]

It might just be a tattoo...

[undeathed]

[ nathan just stares at him. ]

Just a tattoo. Which appeared while you were sleeping and didn't wake you up even though that's a fucking needle in your skin.

Not to mention that it's not happening to just anyone, it's happening to you, and every time crazy shit like that happens to one of us it means someone's freaking out or trying to kill one of us and--

What the fuck am I telling you this for?! Aren't you the weird little twat that's always breaking all of our balls and telling us there's some 'deeper meaning' behind all the fucked up weirdness going on?

And you don't think this is one of those times? You're losing your touch, man. [ and despite that little rant, nathan's smiling now. simon just always brings out this side of him. ]

[invisibilities]

[ simon's just smiling to himself. it's kind of fun getting nathan all worked up, no lie. ]

[undeathed]

[ wait why is he--?

all nathan's frowns. ]

What's that look for?

[invisibilities]

[ pay attention. it's the rare moment when simon trolls. ]

What look?

[undeathed]

[ no but nathan is trolling how did this happen! ]

That look, you little twat!

[invisibilities]

[ OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED ]

I'm not making any look.

[undeathed]

[ this exact shit is why he misses the good old days when simon was too painfully shy to talk back. ]

You bloody well are, you know you are! You're doing that--weird--smile, thing! [ oh god even he knows that sounds ridiculous what is going on? ]

[invisibilities]

Should I not be smiling?

[ HUH NATHAN HUH SHOULD HE NOT SMILE? ]

[undeathed]

No.

[ wait ]

I mean yes.

[ no hold on what the fuck ]

I mean no, not like that! Like you won, or something. You didn't win.

[invisibilities]

[ he so just won. ]

Were we competing?

[undeathed]

[ there was no winning! :c ]

I--

We're always bloody competing! It's what we do.

[invisibilities]

So I beat you. At this competition.

[undeathed]

No! I didn't say that, we're not even going there. You don't fucking beat me.

[ this chat is getting away from him, wasn't he side-eyeing some terrible life choices a minute ago? ]

You're just doing that weird look like you always do, Jesus! There's something wrong with you.

[invisibilities]

I don't have a weird look. You're just being a poor sport.

[undeathed]

You're right. You have multiple weird looks. You're the fucking champion of weird looks!

[ a pause. and then he folds his arms. ]

And I'm not a poor sport. You know, that's very hurtful.

[invisibilities]

I'm sorry.

If you're really hurt.

[undeathed]

[ he throw his hands up and rolls his eyes. so serious all the time, simon. nathan doesn't understand how that's even possible. ]

Am I ever really hurt?! Come on. None of that's even the point, you know. The point is I'm trying to save you, Barry! Be the cockroach. [ he spreads his hands and grins, like he's just ended world hunger. ] That's all there is to it!
