Video; early morning of 01/19
[The woman who pops onto the screen? She doesn't look at all pleased. She's disheveled and incredibly sore, but at least she's been able to have a shower since things have returned to normal. She'd woken up in her own bed, having muddied up the sheets -- so, okay, she's still pretty annoyed.
Still, it had occurred to her that she'd done something a little bit irresponsible the night before. It had been motivated by anger, certainly, but it isn't as if she'd killed the man -- still, she needs to get it off her chest and just make sure that he's -- you know, still alive.
She clears her throat.]
Uh, all right -- this message is especially for Alistair, or for anyone from his world -- now that this thing is working again.
I was attacked in the forest last night by someone accusing me of being a demon, so I thought that you guys might know him. I knocked him out and left him tied up outside the tavern, so I don't know where he'd be now.
[She scowls.]
And just to clear it up for anyone who might be wondering ... I'm not a demon.
[She motions to her hair.]
I mean, do you see a set of pointy horns? I have no interest in your immortal soul, okay? So further attempts to end me? Not going to be dealt with so gently.
[It's a bit of posturing since she's never actually killed anyone, but...they don't need to know that.]

...that's a hard question.
Yes, I was born a mutant. I didn't look like this until I was old enough for my powers to manifest. I got to feel normal until they did, and then my family tried to kill me.
[Her smile is tinged with bitterness, but she appreciates the sentiment behind his statement.]
Good. I'm not the scariest person here by a long shot.
Video;
[ there is the righteous anger that comes to surface at once. he can understand people fear metahumans but for their own families to turn against them - if that were to happen, would barry even be the flash at all? he is only strong because of their support. ]
what's your name?
Video;
-- Mystique.
[She doesn't use the name her parents gave her much any more.]
Video;
[ he sighs a little, runs a hand through his hair ]
Someday soon, I'd like to talk to you personally.
Video;
[She manages a wane smile.]
I'm sure I could arrange that.
Video;
[ that shouldn't be too hard. they are more similar than they are different and if she's at risk, he wants to be able to help. ]
because there is something I want to show you.
Video;
In that case, why don't you meet me outside the front in a little while?
Video;
[ now all that's left is to try and calculate how much is a little time and not run over there too quickly ]
Action?
If this is an ambush, it's a damned good one.]
Action
he comes out in jeans, a buttoned up shirt and a pair of All Star shoes. ]
hi.
[ he'll raise both arms. see. unarmed ]
Action
She lifts a hand from where her arms had been crossed over her chest, waving.]
...hi.
Action
[ he comes to a halt a few steps from her, doesn't want to come off as threatening or disrespectful. he sighs, runs a hand though his hair ]
where I come from, my earth, there are people who are - well - different than everyone else. Though I guess the difference is none of them was born like this, something happened and they became this way, each with a different skill that's - beyond human.
[ eobard thawne, he thinks. what they all have in common is eobard thawne. ]
is it the same for -
[ gesturing towards her ]
mutants?
no subject
A -- skill. I guess you could say that, sure.
[She nods after a moment.]
Some have a handful of abilities, but I guess they're all linked.
no subject
[ but barry wouldn't have given up his speed, not when he's already so invested in being able to save people's lives. ]
do you have one? a - gift?
no subject
[She half-laughs and shrugs her shoulders.]
-- but, yeah. I do have ... something.
[She brings her hand up so he can see it, lets the skin ripple from blue into a tone closer to Barry's.]
no subject
[ he gives her a look, already used to it. but then, barry is so keen on anything unusual and special. special, not evil. not when true demons can sometimes wear the form of a regular human
( a man in a yellow suit with eyes that shine in red ) ]
That's amazing, the cells are just changing?
no subject
[She smiles. That's -- one of the more accurate thoughts about her mutation.]
More or less that, yeah. I can change at will -- appearance, voice, the whole nine yards.
no subject
[ his smile turns a little more excited as she explains ]
Oh, that is awesome, so the cells are basically stem cell, they can divide and change but it's all under your control? that's amazing. that takes microbiology to a whole new level, can I see again?
[ barry omg, you're a nerd. this is why most girls don't date you ]
no subject
She's got a Type.]
That's what they tell me, or something like that. Not sure what a 'stem cell' is. Maybe that's a post-1972 thing.
no subject
[ he'll stop and shake his head ]
I am - uber nerding you right now, aren't I?
no subject
[She smirks.]
Don't worry, I'm used to it.
no subject
[ he shakes his head with a smile. ]
it's not even what I wanted to show you, though.
no subject
[She raises an eyebrow again, though.]
Well, what did you want to show me?
no subject
[ but ok ok, watch him focus. ]
alright. I almost can't believe I'm doing this since it's - a really seriously big secret in my home world but I want you to know.
[ a little sigh as he points towards the rose garden a few miles away ]
see that garden there?
[ don't blink, you might miss it, he zooms there and back, seeming like a red blur. he'll be back in a blink, hand her one of the roses.
it's really cool except one of his shoes is on fire ]
that always happens -
[ kicking the ground until it stops. why are his moments always turn out like that? ]
no subject
She blinks, takes the flower, and then -- laughs, shaking her head.]
Super speed.
[She can put two and two together, though, and she looks at him with a slightly wary half-smile. He'd said before that something happened to people to make them mutants. She -- couldn't imagine it was good, not really. Maybe it was like Natasha had said.]
Thank you. For trusting me, I mean.
You told anyone here?
[So she knows exactly how close she needs to keep this to her chest.]
