[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.

	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)

	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)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-23 02:22 am UTC (link)
	It's true. I'm curious to know how scary you have to be to match your skill or intelligence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cisco and Caitlin are close ... sometimes. But really we all have our own specialties. There's no way I could invent the sort of things Cisco does; or be as good at forensic science as Barry. [This feels nice, talking to someone like this. It feels ... normal. Being able to tout her friend's abilities and have a good interesting conversation was nice.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-23 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Cisco is the one you actually took me to help me get the A.T.O.M suit to function properly. And then there was a thing, and Barry did something really cool, and I'm intentionally leaving out the details. But it was an interesting couple of days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-23 03:31 am UTC (link)
	[That gets a laugh out of her as she turns to look at him, walking backwards.] Now you're just doing it deliberately. [Which she has to admit is actually kinda cute. No. No she is not thinking of her boss as cute. She is so not doing this again. One vigilante unrequited romance in her life is more then enough.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Well, not really unrequited.

Her hand slips out of his and he looks down at his briefly, offering a smile. He wasn't going to say anything. It wasn't as though he was planning to sweep her off her feet, or had any romantic plans.

It had crossed his mind. But it was up to her. Until he can't take it anymore. Because that might actually happen if he keeps thinking about the Dominators simulation.]

Little bit.

Is that the place?

This is why you can't ask me not to ask questions.

[Because now he's just baiting her to ask questions about everything. Especially about things in Central City.

She turns around looking at the storefronts.]

Yeah. According to the information they have great baked goods. Not that my priorities were baked good or anything.

[She was totally looking for chocolate to drown her misery at being here alone.]

	pocket_sized 2017-04-23 04:01 am UTC (link)
	Never said you couldn't ask. Just that I had to be selective of what I respond with. Like obviously I'm not going to tell you all about the nuances of the relationships between you and team Arrow, partly because I didn't even know about that. [Let's go eat the chocolate snacks. He leads the way and opens the door for her like a real gentleman.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-23 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, half the time even I don't know what's going on there. But, [She walks through the door, turning back to him.] You said, I could ask you about time travel and your team. And you'd answer everything. [Why yes she is going back to that promise he made before he started spilling his heart out. She plans to bleed him dry on time information.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-23 04:14 am UTC (link)
	[Oh right. Sure.] I remember. Offer is still valid. And also it's a lot more fun to talk about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justanitgirl 2017-04-23 04:18 am UTC (link)
	Probably has something to do with Oliver being all broody and rawr. [She makes a claw hand gesture. He really is like a temperamental cat.] You mentioned Sarah. How's she there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pocket_sized 2017-04-23 04:22 am UTC (link)
	[That seems like an accurate metaphor. He just tips his head in understanding.] Oh. [Oh.] She was resurrected. But part of that story falls firmly in the category of what happens in Star City, stays in Star City. [It's not called Star City yet, Ray.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
