I do. I have a few friends here. Barry Allen is one of the doctors at the clinic. Cisco Ramon, Savitar. We're part of Team Flash back home. Well. Harry, Barry, and Cisco are. Savitar's..kind of a complicated story.

What was it like? Back where you're from?

[There are people who wouldn't be happy to see her here either but she keeps that to herself.]

Team Flash? I like the name. My friends and I, we used to be part of the Howling Commandos a long time ago. [So he can appreciate a good name like that.]

Dangerous.
We were facing an alien invasion, trying to stop someone from ending half the life in the universe.

I don't think we won.

[she reaches automatically and her hand lands his arm without paying attention to which it is, giving it a gentle squeeze in comfort]

I'm so sorry.

[He covers her hand with his briefly. Not many people want to get that close to him voluntarily.] We fought the good fight. I think in the end that's all we can ask for.

Maybe this is an opportunity to figure out a way to undo that.

Maybe. But the forces we were dealing with? I don't know if I'd want that kind of attention brought here.

You also would have more of a force here than back home, potentially. I mean, Barry's a speedster. Cisco has powers that allow him to vibe here and there, creating ways to get from place to place and he can vibe to see things in the past.

[And then her. Cait picks at the bun a little bit. Maybe not yet.]

So that's something.

You've got some pretty impressive friends.

But it's a lot, asking someone to risk their lives in a fight that isn't theirs, for a world that isn't even theirs. [And he has no idea that it wouldn't matter to Team Flash, the same as it wouldn't matter to him.

But he's also hitting a sore spot, judging by the way she's picking at her bun. Time for a change of subject!] So you see that vendor over there? He's running some kinda game but I haven't quite figured out the rules yet.

[She moves over with him to where the game is being played and tilts her head one way then the other to try to figure it out.]

I guess I don't get out much because I honestly have not seen this before.

Wanna try and figure it out? [They can enjoy the alien treats and try and guess their way through the game and the rules that go along with it.]

[For the first time in a while, Caitlin felt herself relaxing and actually smiling as she walks with him over to where the game is.]

[This? This reminds him of Coney Island back in the day and they perch near the stand so they can get a better view of the game and a couple of children trying it out.]

Okay.. so it looks like what you gotta do is something with those blue and purple rings.

[Of course, Caitlin is talking to the vendor and trying to get the full instruction of the game as Bucky is observing. She hands him a beanbag.]

The purple ones are double points.

Double huh? [An easy smile as he tets the weight of a bag in his hand. The balance is a little weird but he can work with it. Bucky steps up and gives a toss.

Double points.
And again.
And again.]

In another life I was a sniper. Always had good aim.

I was a bioengineer back home.

[She laughs softly and throws one of the beanbags.]

Not really skilled in things like this.

Nah, it's just a matter of practice.

Hang on, hang on. [Bucky shoots her a questioning glance, making sure it's all right to touch before he helps.] Line up your shoulders a little more with the target and keep your wrist straight.

[At his glance, she shrugs, letting him crowd her space to help with her throat. Cait squares her shoulders a little more with the target and throws. Still missing but not as much as before.]

Didn't get a lot of practice back home. Or here.

There, now just put a little more power behind it. [A grin as he hands her another.] Who's to say you can't practice more here? Biomedicine keeping you too busy?

[She chuckles and weighs the beanbag.]

I keep myself busy. Biomedicine, helping my friend save the city, looking after a teenager here.

All that and a teenager too? [A grin and a low whistle as he gives his beanbag a toss.] You clearly got your hands full.

[She gives a small chuckle]

There's less to deal with here than back home.

Less than back home? And I thought things were busy where I came from.

Maybe New Dodge is a vacation for us both?

Possibly. It's definitely allowed me to make more friends than I had back home too.
