Lao Tzu once said “To see things in the seed, that is genius.”


Which is probably why Barry had been working all day in his warehouse. It wasn’t long after walking out of Brooklyn that Barry had calculated the probability of a certain visitor. And what that visitor was going to need.

As soon as the kid tripped the security sensors, Barry was putting the finishing touches on his creation.

“It’s about fucking time you showed up.” he called out.

[For one. Open after that.]

Miles stopped at the door, looking surprised. “You knew I was coming?”

"Yeah. Cool.”

Miles stood in front of the outfit for at least a minute just thinking about... everything.



He was almost ready. He was almost there. But if he was going to do this? He had to do it his way.

He reached into his bag and pulled out his paint.

“I’m gonna spray paint it.”

Too late Barry. Miles had already started work on it. “Trust me. It’s going to be great. You got any disinfectant? Maybe some baby powder?”

“I know you’re being sarcastic but I haven’t eaten today. So...”

Okay, so Annie was just going to wander around and hope she got the right warehouse eventually, here. She'd already taken one wrong turn.

This one looked more promising than the previous, at least. She was getting way more 'mad scientist' vibes and fewer 'training for The Amazing Race' ones.

"Hello?"

"Sure. I'd love some tea," Annie said, smiling in spite of herself. "Oh, and - you can call me Annie, when I'm not all..." She gestured vaguely to herself. "Caped."

"I'm supposed to try," Annie sighed. "But I've been busted like, three times this week already. This town's too small." She was just hoping that the whole Vought-ignoring-her thing didn't suddenly stop now that she was technically in breach of contract. "And thank you? I mean, we have some rough names back home, too."

Just because he was cute didn't mean that The Deep didn't have a dumb name.

"No, we just have - wait, what?" Annie blinked at him, then tried to look at his console. "Do you need help?"

Because she was a fucking superhero, and all.

"Or I can get out of your hair," she added, because as much as it pained her, Brooklyn was not her turf, alternate or not.

"An actual save? I get to go on a real save?" Annie really shouldn't have looked as excited as she did, but she got a lid on it pretty fast. "I'm on it. Let me swing by my place and grab my suit."

Because admitting to a secret identity was one thing - using her powers in a hoodie was potentially an actual copyright issue.

defenderofdesmoines: (annie - thinking)

"Oh yeah?" Annie was shifting her weight from one foot to the other, suddenly full of nervous energy. "I may take you up on that. I mean, I like my costume, but it's definitely better for pageants than beating the ever-loving crap out of bad guys."

Maybe she could even be convinced to wear a mask instead of just a smoky eye to conceal her identity, one of these days!

"Not as big a deal as you'd think," Annie replied. "I run a little warm. Kinda my thing."

In case he hadn't caught on to what kind of powerset a person named 'Starlight' might have. Though he was right - it wasn't like she was snow-proof.

defenderofdesmoines: (annie - explain)
From: [personal profile] defenderofdesmoines
Someday, after being given a much more empowering costume, she would be so on your side, Barry.

"Light, but you know." Annie shrugged. "Light, heat, po-tay-to, po-tah-to."
