So. You think you know what makes me tick. And you want to send me somewhere with. Shape-shifting people and sometimes zombies. And worse to come.
Right.
There's no way for you to let me go back to my boring geeky... actual-employment things, is there.

Unfortunately, once you're in this sort of situation, the choice seems to be either going to a place where one is attacked by monsters on a regular basis, or mouldering in headspace.
(((ooc: cool to see an Arrow muse, I've been pondering making a Felicity or a Laurel account at some point)))

She has any number of people who are neither, actually. They may get thrown at really random situations, sometimes, but they can usually go home in-between. Or something like it. They can keep an eye on what is happening.
ooc: Hee! :) That's because them ladies are awesome!

Ah, yes. [has her own cup of tea, which she sips] Reconnaissance, as it were.
This one tends to pull us from points where our adventures end, at least for the time being from our point of view, so seldom sends us home. There are always exceptions, I suppose.
no subject
Sort of? Except for her it's more in the 'playing,' not the gathering of data for future exploits.
Is it good company?
no subject
I do feel a tad out-gunned, however. My job more involves making tea than field combat.
Oh, forgive my manners. My name is Wendy Earhart.
no subject
And I sure understand about outgunned. I mean, there's a ten-eleven-year-old here who's more experienced than me in everything. ... almost everything, I mean. But I'm not the only one outclassed, and there are a few here who'll make sure nobody gets killed, or nobody who can't defend ourselves gets killed, so I think I'm good.
Cyborg schoolteacher sounds so cool, though.
no subject
But ah yes, she is lovely. The schoolteacher. She... reminds me of the... better parts of an old friend of mine. And handles her special abilities far more responsibly. [half smile] I used to regret not having special "powers." Sometimes I wonder if I'd be worthy of the responsibility, though.
no subject
And, no, thanks, about superpowers. I mean, it's usually the same choices you get to make, about being a decent person, but those with superpowers tend to be a target way more often.
You win.
Thank you!

Funny, that sounds sort of familiar.

I'd ask how you're doing there, but she has some idea. [Thumb over shoulder.]
no subject
If you thought my system was bad, the computers there will drive you crazy. [It's the strangest thing but he sounds entertained by the idea.]
no subject
And that's creepy.
no subject
Lucky for you, Superman is putting together a radio broadcasting company, and he needs engineers. [A pause, and his most innocuous smile.] I offered my skills with a hammer.
[Basically they need you as far as he's concerned.]
no subject
... hammer. [She nudges her glasses.] You offered the Man of Steel assistance in wielding a... metal implement.
Nice.

There's no way for me to stick with boring normal stuff to do in that place, is there.
ooc: Sleep is awesome! Go do it!

[Because he might sort of be seventeen, but he's also a lot older, so she can ask.]
no subject
I believe it.
And it's really not so bad, this place. You can't only focus on the negative.

Choosing your battles - to your strengths, preferably - is important to winning a lot of them. And all signs point to that battle as rigged so far against us that it's ridiculous to expect anything but a bad outcome.

Or the. Turtle. Equivalent of that.

My name's Jack, what's yours?
no subject
Felicity.
You do realize that I wouldn't be able to see you there?
no subject
I figured as much. But that's all right... I think anybody can find belief if they really want to. Sometimes it just takes time.
Plus the whole island turtle kind of helps with the credibility.
no subject
Though I guess I won't get a chance to find that out for a while.

But she [thumb over shoulder] is really wondering if that's not for the best and maybe you guys don't need more of hers over there.
[Shrugs.]
Whatever, I suppose.

But if she ever needs it, just let me know and I'll hit her with a little winter magic, all right?

That... might not even be a bad thing to do.
