Did you people get rid of all the bodies, or was all that bullet damage and laser scoring just a little bit of harmless fun?

And who's the guy with the angry seaweed for a face?

Place seems too interesting for its own good.

Bodies were already gone by the time we got here, as far as I know we haven't found any remains anywhere.

Seaweed face is Joe, he used to live here before we all showed up and then he mutated into a tentacle monster because that's how radiation works here I guess.

[hyperthermic]

comforting.

[ Wait, hang on a sec. ]

u telling me were all gonna end up like tako-face?

[That username. Len might just be the unluckiest bastard in the world.

Maybe that's why the universe shit itself upon his arrival.]

Sure it wasn't you?

[itsnotaonesie]

Not if you're smart about the radiation. Don't leave the station without a radiation suit, and you should be fine.

[hyperthermic]

[ Even without the face to go with the message, Chronos knows who it is. He can practically hear the drawled insult in the words. ]

not this time.

snart.

gonna find u. i'm gonna FIND u

[hyperthermic]

what if i have armor that does that job already?

[hypothermic]

I don't care if you did this hell-hole, Roanoke, the Franklin expedition, or Anastasia.

You're not gonna get the drop on me again.

[itsnotaonesie]

As long as you take it through decontamination when you come back in, you should be fine.

Can I see it?

[hyperthermic]

sure

you the local expert ?

[hyperthermic]

u cant be awake all the time

[hypothermic]

Neither can you.

[hyperthermic]

u have no idea what i can do

[hypothermic]

You're right.

I don't know you at all anymore.

[itsnotaonesie]

[wow that was easy hell yes]

More or less, yeah. Though I will say that most of what I know is self taught.

[hyperthermic]

[ Somehow, that hurts. Even after everything, even after being captured, betrayed by Leonard's so-called compassion yet again, it hurts.

He hurls his communicator, watches it bounce off the far wall, leaves it there for a good minute and a half before he gets up to retrieve it.

His hands are shaking with anger as he types out a response. ]

u never did

or u would never have left me alive

[hyperthermic]

[ Look Mick knows (or has been, like, conditioned to know) when it's a good idea to have someone who knows the area check your shit. If his armor isn't up to snuff he'd rather not get roasted and mutated before finding that out. ]

used to be me. self-taught

just means u find out the things no one thinks of telling u

[hypothermic]

You're such a drama queen.

I was coming back.

When have I not?

>>> audio

[hyperthermic]

You didn't.

[ He snarls the words, because typing it in all caps just doesn't have the same flavor. ]

Not once you found your little group of heroes.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Mick gets to find out if his armor is in good shape, Peter gets to see super cool armor, everybody wins]

A big part of figuring out how to live here has been having to teach ourselves how to use this equipment. You do much tech stuff?

[hypothermic]

Yeah. I was kinda busy.

While you were picking up the Time Masters' laundry, we were trying to save the world.

No thanks to you, and the rest of their goons getting in our way.

[hyperthermic]

yes.

have to maintain my timeship, make my own repairs to weapons, keep my armor updated

sometimes hijack a vehicle or two on assignment

needed to know my shit

[hyperthermic]

We. Like you were one of them.

But I guess you were. Guess you were happy being Rip Hunter's chess piece.

How's saving the world going for you? You don't think the Time Masters will stop hunting you just because I failed, do you?

[hypothermic]

Please. If all this was a game of chess, I wouldn't be anyone's pawn. Unlike some people.

I look too good in a crown.

They can keep hunting. I'll keep fighting. It's what I do.

What we did, before you went all 'brick in the wall'.

[hyperthermic]

[ There's a loud, crunchy BANG as Chronos punches a small metal side table and it folds a little under the heat of it. ]

They saved me, Snart. I would've died out there, where you left me, if it hadn't been for them.

They remade me. Gave me what you took away.

[hypothermic]

What did I take away that you didn't hand over when you chose the pirates over our partnership. Our plan.

Shouldn't have gone off book, Mick. You've always been crap at improv.
