[Video]

[He didn't think that breaking time was in the penal code, but then considering what the Dominator's had come to earth for he's not exactly surprised to find himself here. The more pressing question was the absence of the rest of the legends. If he was going to make contact with the other inmates, he might as well get that out of the way.]

Hello, people of Marina. I hope this finds you well, assuming this is a recording and not a live communication channel. I guess I'll find out in a second or two if anyone is watching.

[He's defaulting to a slightly more professional way of composing his speech, trying to be as clear as possible as he would in any board meaning or in front of his students back in the 50s. Just going for efficiency. Plus it helps mask his panic.]

I'm Ray. Ray Palmer. And I'm looking for my friends. Sara, Nate, Mick, Amaya, Martin and Jackson. Has anyone seen them? Heard those names? I mean of course I am leaving out specific details such as appearance, surnames, distinguishing characteristics, I'm assuming if they're here they'd receive this message and find me.

Otherwise I think I'm going to need more information about this place. Hopefully I can assist with an escape plan? There's one of those, right?

[His lips turn up into a genuine smile, but it fades almost immediately, seeming crestfallen. He turns the feed off with that.]

____________________________________

[Action]

Ray stays in Sector one for a while, processing everything that had happened. He'd been here almost immediately after he and the Legends crash landed in L.A. due to a time storm. Sure enough that was listed as one of his crimes. Others remarked on his using underhanded tactics to acquire Queen Consolidated, and his being regarded as a criminal by the Time Masters. Even the time he nearly blew up the chem lab in his undergrad, it was all stacked against him as supposed crimes. Alien law, he supposed, was maybe a little less nuanced than even the flawed justice system of western society. At east there you were innocent until proven guilty.

Here he didn't even get a trial.

He moved on to sector two, finding a clothing store and opting to change before continuing on to explore the city.

	I'm someone. [She frowns, the inside of her bottom lip worrying between her teeth. She really didn't mean to do this. To bring up things like this. She had no idea they were even there for her to dig up.] And with us living next to each other it gives you free reign to knock on my door any time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He has been through a lot, including being shown a possible future with you as his fiance. So there was much, still, to uncover, and much more that he didn't want to deal with yet. He turns up his hand, offering her to take it if she wanted to support him emotionally.] I'd like that. Thank you, Felicity. [So genuine.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She looks down at the hand for a moment before resting her hand in his. For everything that's happened in the past couple hours she sure as hell knows him better then she did yesterday and she knows she wants to support the man next to her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He grips her hand takes a moment to regain face and he smiles.] I think I've had my fill of visiting the darkside for today. And I think I'm kinda in the mood for cookies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 06:19 am UTC (link)
	[She squeezes back, just so he knows she's there for him.] You know, I think I saw a cookie place on the map. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why aren't we there right now? [Okay look, they need milk and cookies to cope.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 06:31 am UTC (link)
	We could be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Seeing as it's the optimal solution to my emotional state. Lead the way. [That chipper tone. Definitely going for chocolate chunk.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She gives his hand a squeeze and stands up.] You know, you're totally not the guy I expected when I first met you. [It's nice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-22 08:00 pm UTC (link)
	Isn't that true for anyone? Except when your intuition is spot on and the book was as bad as the cover. You'd hope that that's not the case. As a general rule. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	[She shrugs.] I like to think I'm exactly who I seem like. For the most part. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-22 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Which happens to be one of things I like about you. [He's flaunting his advantage over her and hes not even sorry.] But I think I'm going to withhold some of the endless praise. I could shower you with it but...actually even that phrasing is weird. The point is that there's a reason we're friends and I'd much rather for you to find out on your own.

[He totally is, but it's ok since he's using it to tell her how awesome she is. She doesn't mind that kind of thing at all. Especially since she doesn't really get it from other areas of her life.]

I think I'm starting to get why.

[She smiles a little. Of all the people to be stuck in a weird prison with Ray is probably one of the better people to be here. He's nice, honest and she's starting to really like him.]

[It doesn't even occur to him that hes still holding her hand. That's how natural it feels to him.

Hes not sure how to reapond to that without spilling his heart out to her a little more ao he just grins at her.]

Like you said before, its good that neither of us are alone here. Though part of me wishes the rest of the legends were here. You'd like Rip. And probably Nate.

You know, the selfish impulsive part of me who still hasn't gotten all the porcupine farts out of my devices yet.

After two years.

	[She actually doesn't realize they're still holding hands either. Which, if she realized and thought about it would be weird. At the mention of his team she raises her brow. Who were Rip and Nate and why would she like them?] Are you implying that I would put porcupine farts on their media devices? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-22 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on how strong a gesture of affection or friendship porcupine farts are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Considering it was revenge for stealing Oliver's company out from under him; I'd say not a major sign of affection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-22 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Then I'd say probably no farts in their general direction. [And a Monty Python reference.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	[She squeezes his hand, smirking. It's nice to hear ridiculous references from someone other then herself.] Are you really finding farts two years later? I'm pretty impressed with myself right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are you sure you didn't write any malware that replaces the sound files because I'm pretty sure got all the system sounds restored. I mean it doesn't matter, it's just devious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-22 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe, but if I told you it would ruin the amusement of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-22 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	True. You basically get to enjoy your victory. I probably should have figured out a way to negotiating you fixing them for me. If you ever get back you could probably get a raise out of me pretty easily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-23 12:13 am UTC (link)
	You say that like it's not true all the time. [She's pretty sure that he needs her pretty badly back in her time. Otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to stalk her. Not that she's going to be negotiating a raise any time soon. She gets played plenty.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-23 01:34 am UTC (link)
	You don't think I'd negotiate? I was a businessman, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-23 02:19 am UTC (link)
	And I know my worth. If you could have found someone better you would have, but you didn't, which means you couldn't find someone better. And you won't, because I'm the best and we both know it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
