nah, my spider-sense is weirdly independent. it can sense the bad when i'm not picking up on it, and it also lets me know when i'm just being really defensive around somebody cause i know they're a dick.
although it might've just happened because i thought he was you and my built-in defense mechanism was like "no it is definitely not"

he startled me!
it wasn't that bad
he psychopath shuffled out of it anyway so it didn't even matter

[harrisonwells]

I was wondering when that was going to happen. In truth, I expected someone to think I was him first. Funny.

Well, at least you know webbing him won't work. Not that that's probably any consolation.

[thiwp]

nah. like we said from the start, we're the originals. ;) people confuses other people for us.

i still don't know what would happen if i webbed somebody while they were trying to phase
but i bet it wouldn't be awesome
i tripped barry with a well-placed web a couple times but
yeah i guess it would take some serious skills to beat a speedster

[harrisonwells]

Accept no substitutes.

I'm picturing a few different outcomes and none of them are pretty. Much as I'm intrigued to find out what would really happen, it's probably for the best that we not experiment and find out. Probably.
The element of surprise comes in handy. After all, you did stick him. Just because he got out when he wanted to doesn't mean it didn't work.

[thiwp]

it's annoying that it still has your face. why doesn't he change it? can't he do that? isn't that part of what makes him so eeeeviiilll?

yeah i'm not about to try it out
although i'd be lying if i said i haven't been thinking about asking barry to train with me a little bit
i've never trained to fight in my life
it's all instinctual?
but with him here it's different
it feels different

[harrisonwells]

I'm sure he could if he wanted to. Well, he probably does want to now. It comes with complications I don't think he expected. Maybe he can't.

You don't think your instincts will measure up?

[thiwp]

i think we really gotta figure out what he can and can't do here
i was hoping they would've like
i don't know, muted his powers here? but i don't think that's the case at all

i've never fought a speedster before, so who knows.
i think i need to do whatever it takes to make sure they do, that's all.

[harrisonwells]

You know he'll die if he gets kicked out, right?
Removed from existence. He isn't about to risk that. He's too selfish.

But if it will make you feel better, I'll think about it.

[thiwp]

yeah that's what i said when i was talking to him but
he got away with so much back in his home world how different can it be here
i mean if he really wanted to make something happen

... think about what?

[harrisonwells]

Think about what I might be able to build to help you.

I have a few leads on how to slow a speedster down. I've done it before. It'll be harder here, but not impossible.

[thiwp]

oh
i mean thanks that's really cool you're even considering it but i couldn't ask you to do that
if something goes down i wouldn't want you to get kicked out too just for helping

i wouldn't hate a webshooter upgrade though
they could stand to fire off a little quicker

[harrisonwells]

Nothing's going to go down. But there's no harm in planning.

I could look into that. Let me know when you want to come by.

[Yeah, that ball is still in Gwen's court.]

[thiwp]

tonight

how about tonight?

[harrisonwells]

If you're sure.

I'd like that.

[thiwp]

yeah. absolutely.

i'll bring my watch, too?

[harrisonwells]

Bring it. I've had some thoughts about that.

[thiwp]

have you?
oh my god
this is the most shocking news
the MOST shocking news
i have heard in
wow in years maybe
i've never been so shocked in my life

[harrisonwells]

Hush, Ms. Stacy, or I'll render it pink.

[thiwp]

oo, promise?

[harrisonwells]

I should have known you'd take that the wrong way.

[thiwp]

pssh
what was the "right" way?

[harrisonwells]

There wasn't one. I haven't seen it, maybe pink would improve it.

[thiwp]

oh you're talking about the watch


i mean yeah pink is good
pink would match my costume

[harrisonwells]

I wouldn't have said 'render' if I was talking about other things I could make pink.

See you tonight.

[ she wants to text him back maybe, make some remark that would most likely end with "you nerd", but she doesn't. ten minutes later and she's feeling something that's a little bit like guilt, but not enough to change her mind, send a text to cancel. work goes by quick, and she heads to the labs with her webshooters on her wrists and her portal watch in her backpack, costume stuffed in there too, but she doesn't change. she kinda loves that she doesn't have to anymore.

when she buzzes to get into the building and pops up on the security cameras, her hair's got that same wild windswept look it always does after she gets done swinging around the city, but she's not making any moves to fix it. any guilt of nerves she might be feeling ( it's been a little while since she's last hung out with Harrison, maybe the stuff going on with Barry will change things. she doesn't know. but she needs to find out for herself ) are wiped from her expression once she's strolling into Harrison's lab, already moving to swing her backpack around to the front so she can get the watch out ]

I'd say hey and ask how've you been, but I know you're only going to be thinking of one thing the whole time so- [ tada! it looks like a power ranger morphin time device thing. i'd link a picture but I can't find a good shot of the dang thing. anyway! ] Et voila. My portal watch.
