I work with the Behavioral Analysis Unit at the FBI. I like coffee, books, and stage magic. Ask me a question and I probably know the answer.

#1 indisputable fact of life: Coffee and books are two of the best things in life.

Stage magic is fun. But. How do you feel about *real* magic?

You're just asking to be bombarded with silly trivia :P Stage magic as opposed to...real magic or...?

How are you settling in so far?

Oh, I'm good, I'm just saying. I know what stage magic is, I'm just curious why you specified stage magic if real magic isn't a thing where you're from, is all. I wondered if there was something else that just saying "magic" could've been confused for, or whatever.

Yeah, I know the feeling. Except substitute school for work. But a handful of people from home are here, as it turns out, so I don't feel quite as weird for being here, I guess? I don't know. I need to get out and meet people before I turn myself into a shut in or something haha

Well, that and my wish is a pretty tall order, so I should probably start actually contributing around here.


( Translation: she should probably get her cuddle on sooner than later if she wants to be able to hold up her end of the bargain without being here until the end of time. )

Ah, understood. Not a bad approach, I'll give you that. I've seen things that most people — that once upon a time, even I — would consider magic, even though I don't think that they technically are. I'm not sure that makes sense. I know what I mean, anyway...

( Her eyebrows lift a little at the question, because she never really plans that sort of thing so much as she...makes it happen when she wants it to happen. Lydia knows she's attractive, she's confident, and when she wants something, she goes for it. That typically works in her favor. She's lucky, in that way, something she only recently actually recognized about herself. )

Yeah, except it's a little weird that we all seem to be from different points in time. I seem to be the furthest along, so I'm kind of treading carefully while I figure this all out.

Not so much plans unless a general "find someone I'd be interested in going to bed with within the next month or two" counts as a plan. Well, that's generalized enough to assume that said person is also interested in going to bed with me, but whatever. You know what I mean.

Do you?

( She notices the delay but figures that it's just that he got distracted by something; that happens to her when she's texting all the time. Lydia doesn't really think much of it. )

Oh I could tell you plenty of stories that most people would think were completely insane, but I'll have to get to know you better first.

( To make sure human fear doesn't end in supernatural dead bodies, like it tends too often to do back home. )

Everybody's different. I don't really have any skills for anything beyond, like, retail work right now and I figure that's not going to really put a dent in my end of the bargain, so... I don't know. Does the fact that I'm "fast" and direct make you uncomfortable? I can be more aware of it when I'm talking to you.

( That's endearing as hell, that right there. They still hardly know each other and he's concerned. If he knew half of what she's capable of, he might not be as concerned, but since she's not sharing yet, it makes her smile. )

I never do anything I don't want to do.

( That's not entirely true. There's been plenty of times she hadn't wanted to put her life on the line for Beacon Hills, because she'd been tired or grieving or just wished she wasn't a part of all of it. But in the context he's talking about, it's true, at least. )

I don't know, I could learn really fast and I'm probably smarter than most people from around here, just statistically speaking, so you're probably right, but a lot of places want work experience and the only experience I've got is tutoring because I finished high school early and just stuck around taking extra classes and tutoring so I could graduate with my friends.

...and it doesn't make you sound like an old man. It makes you sound like a good friend. <3

Where I come from, a paranoid friend is the best kind of friend to have.

( They're the ones that will go above and beyond with worry if something feels off; it's how they keep each other safe. That's how they have to operate in Beacon Hills. Without a healthy dose of paranoia, they'd probably all be dead by now. )

Yeah, I thought about the university actually, I just haven't decided if I want to go or if I want to put school on hold until I get back home, yet. I appreciate that, though. I think for me, step one: wrap my head around the time differences between my friends and I, step two: decide between school and work, step three: apparently give you a heart attack because I'm fast and direct ;)

( She almost makes a joke asking if he'd feel better if it was him she was pursuing, but Lydia figures that they're not really there yet and it could be perceived as more offensive or uncomfortable than funny or flirtatious, especially over text. She'll save it for later, though, that's for sure. )

That job is almost as cool as mine! How does one get into federal law enforcement,
anyway? I've never actually met anyone who does it, so it always seemed like something out of the movies, even though it's obviously a real thing.

I work with the Flash to keep evil metahumans at bay.

( It should be fine to talk about the Flash as long as she doesn't out Barry as being him, right? She saw the Flash on the okCuddle somewhere, she's sure of it. )

But before that, I worked on the particle accelerator. It was a pretty famous machine. Probably more infamous after it exploded and created all those metahumans, including the Flash, but...at the time, it was a scientific achievement...it was made to power the whole city with clean energy. It would've made science journals, I bet, if it had succeeded.

( Sometimes, talking about the particle accelerator is difficult, but in doing so, she supposes she's sort of trying to embrace the part of her that it created — Killer Frost — rather than just mourning the losses she suffered after it — like Ronnie...twice. If she talks about it on her own terms, then maybe she can take control of the feelings she has about the whole thing. That's what she's trying to do, anyway. )

Oh cool, I was recruited while I was in college, still, too. Do you like it? The BAU?

( Caitlin tries not to think about what happened to Ronnie in that explosion and focuses instead on the grander scheme, because she imagines that's what he's actually asking. Unfortunately, she doesn't know an awful lot about what actually caused the malfunction. )

You know, I don't really know. I wasn't on the structural engineering side, so I don't know what went wrong there. Metahuman is a normal human who, due to the explosion, now has special abilities beyond that of normal human beings.

( ...how does he not know who the Flash is? Does the Flash not exist where he comes from? Which Earth is this guy from, because The Flash — whether Barry or not — has existed on several Earths, so far... hmmm... )

The Flash is the fastest man alive. Runs at something like Mach 3 these days.

I don't think I could do your job; I imagine you must see some really horrific things.


( Which is not to say that Caitlin never does, but not on a daily basis like law enforcement must. ...like her friends that work with CCPD must. )

I don't know how it works, my specialty is biogenetic engineering and neurosurgery.
I just know what happened and what the result was.


( ...he thinks she's telling stories, ah. That's the vibe she's getting right now and she supposes that she walked right into that because this is not Central where everyone knows The Flash and Ralph...whose superhero name Cisco has not yet settled upon.

Scale it back a bit, Snow. )


Must be.

I've always liked that quote. It helped me through a lot of tough times. It's a good quote. I'm glad to hear there's balance.
I still don't think I could do what you do, so kudos for doing the job that most of us can't.

[personal profile] naz 2018-01-25 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
( This would probably be exponentially smoother a conversation if Caitlin herself understood the why. She understands what's happening in the bodies of those affected — at least the ones she's been able to study, like Barry, herself, Cisco... — but she doesn't understand how it happened. It shouldn't have been able to, he's right. But it did. )

Well...join the club. I've just sort of had to adjust and work with what I'm given. It doesn't make a lot of sense, it just is where I come from.

That's actually a really good way to look at things...I wouldn't have thought of that. Whoever told you that...thank them for me when you go home. Maybe it'll help me gain a little perspective doing my own work.


( Because while it's not so bad for Caitlin as it probably is for Dr. Reid, she has her moments where there's a numbness to everything that sort of comes into play, which really has no place. It's not a bad thing to detach emotion while working, but she needs to make sure she never turns it all the way off. ...that's partially why the idea of losing herself in Killer Frost is so terrifying. Killer Frost already turned it off. At least, in Caitlin's opinion, she's turned off all the emotions except anger. Sometimes that makes an appearance. )
