---

Flash has posed:
It's well after midnight when Flash shoots off a quick text to Jess, half an unwrapped burrito dangling from his mouth as he two thumbs the keys of his cell while he lounges on the edge of a building overlooking the mostly empty streets of Central City. It's a quiet city, far removed from the hustle and bustle of New York or Metropolis, but at this hour most people are safely tucked away in their beds.

Flash doesn't sleep much, obviously. Doesn't really require it even if he could sleep and certainly doesn't have the time if he did require it, which he absolutely doesn't.

hey cant sleep u up?

Phone is set down beside him on the ledge so that he can take the burrito from his mouth to chew a bite.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
"Always," comes the swiftly texted reply. She is, in fact, not at all standing in the kitchen with a baseball bat. "I was contemplating popcorn. What's got you up so late?"

Flash has posed:
Flash glances down at the screen of his phone and replaces the burrito in his mouth to send off another text with both hands, remember when that sentinel had sex with your friends armpits? is the first text followed by a gif of someone going from a normal expression to a horrified expression on a continuous loop.

There's like four big gulps sitting beside him and a whole bag of burritos so he's no shortage of food and drink to contend with his boundless hungers.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Well, at least the scary sounds have been forgotten. Jessica makes an audible groan, and texts Barry back. "Grossss. Now I won't sleep, either." Send.

Jessica opens the freezer door, looking for ice cream, instead.

Flash has posed:
Flash leans over his phone and smirks, finishing the burrito he's been nursing the entire conversation in a few unnaturally quick bites. He works the cellphone with a twist of his wrist and snaps off a selfie of a big him giving a thumbs up and a stupidly goofy grin way too close to the camera and sends it.

want company? I think Central City can do without me for an hour or so nevermind that she lives like a couple hundred miles away. That's close enough he could get there before the picture loads.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
"Please. Power's out. I'm afraid of the dark. And I have ice cream that will melt if someone doesn't help me eat it." Two truths and a lie. "I'm at home. Come play ice cream with me?"

Flash has posed:
Flash sees the replies and tucks his phone away into a pocket on his belt. The bag of burritos are scoped up in one motion as several empty big gulps are tossed at a trashcan with exceptional aim down into the alleyway. They were most certainly not empty moments prior.

Within the bat of an eyelash, as if he was standing on her front porch the whole time, Barry wraps the back of his knuckles against the front door of Jess' abode. He assumed she meant her place and not the Mansion.

Point of fact, he hoped.

He cannot see those sentinels right now. The wound is too fresh.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica was waiting by the door, and it opens the moment he raps on it. Inside, candles are lit around the rooms for light. Jess smiles and wraps him up in a hug. Bag O Burritos, and all. "What took you so long?" she asks in his ear as she hugs him.

Flash has posed:
Flash awkwardly keeps swinging his fist as if still knocking on a door that is nolonger there, smiling rediculously as she appears in the candle lit corridor, untils he engulfs him in a hug. His arms sip around her waist and he steps forward in a shuffling motion to urge them inside, "I know you said ice cream, but I brought burritos too. Because you know... fiber." There's no fiber in burritos. "I had to stop to get directions." He jokes into her ear, still hugging despite shuffling.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica shuffles too, moving the hug inside before shutting the door behind them. "You'd bring a sack lunch to a buffet," she teases, easing out of the hug. "You know burritos don't have fiber, right?" Of course he knows. "Storms came through earlier, and it's been dark ever since. All quiet on the Western Front?" She is moving toward the kitchen, and opens the refrigerator to pull out a couple of bottles of soda. Flash has a drinking problem, and she is SUCH an enabler.

Flash has posed:
"Eh... they have... protein?" Of course he knows they don't have fiber, at least by way of his grinning as Jess seperates from the hug. Barry holds out the bag of burritos, "Trade?" food for soda when she returns with them in arm to him already sitting on the couch. In the time she took getting to the fridge and back he's changed into civilian clothes. Something comfortable like sweat pants and a t-shirt that he may have run all the way to his house for. Who even knows what he wears under that costome, though, right? Comfort over convenience. "Sal'right, we can just enjoy each other's company. No need for television."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
"Good call," Jess replies, trading him the sodas and taking a spot next to him. Outside, thunder is threatening again, as the lightning flickers against the shaded windows. She takes the bag he offers and peers into it, but sets it on the coffee table, for the time being. "YOU look considerably more comfortable." For her part, Jess is in a pair of shorty-pj's bearing the likeness of Spider-Man. Because spiders stick together. Beside the bag, Jess sets a carton of Rocky Road ice cream, still frozen rock hard.

Flash has posed:
"Too comfortable?" Barry asks with fingers sliding back into his shaggy hair which is in desperate need of a clipping. Where would he find the time for that, though? "I can change into something a little less comfortable.. jean shorts maybe? I think I have a pair laying around my apartment." He's joking, nobody has jean shorts these days. "Nice PJs. Lemme just grab that ice cream..." Jutting his chin at the Spidey-js, smoothly lifting his arm to lay it across her shoulders like he's reaching for the rockey road ice cream which he was not reaching for and does not grab. It was neither slick nor suave, but he's grinning anyways.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica grins and settles in against Barry. "I don't think guys can legally wear jeans shorts anymore. Maybe it they're...wait, nope. Not even then. You'll just have to keep that treasure trove at home." She lifts a hand and slides her fingers through his hair. "You growing it out, or want me to cut it sometime?"

Flash has posed:
"I heard that legislation was on the floor, but I wasn't sure it had passed." Barry jokes with a flip of his wrist oposite to the one on Jess' shoulder. His head leans towards her to lay against her temple, watching another flash barely visible through the sheltered windows. Lightning has never much bothered him since the accident. Not like it would be fast enough to strike him, right? Not again. "I don't know, at first I kept forgetting to get it cut, but then it started growing on me. Figuratively, I mean." Side grinning, it's even clean, so it's at least stylishly shaggy. "Maybe grow a bitchin goatee and long hair, fool the super villains that I'm one of them now."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica lifts her eyes to meet Barry's, still feathering her fingers through his hair. "I feel like they wouldn't buy it. Your eyes aren't shifty enough, and your laugh isn't diabolical at all. But if you wanna give it a shot, hey...I'll give sexy villain Barry a shot for awhile."

Flash has posed:
Barry does his best shifty eye glance at Jess, which looks less shifty because he's grinning, "How about now? Do you want to lock me up in Blackgate yet?" Brows bouncing so awkwardly that it couldn't possibly be unintentional, but is. "Now? I'm going to.... I'm going to steeeaaaal stuuuufff..." He's a horrible villain, let's face it.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
"Oh my god you're the worst villain EVER. You are officially fired from being a villain. All rights and privileges therein have been suspended," Jess laughs and shakes her head. "You're adorable. But you really SUCK at being a bad guy."

Flash has posed:
"Oh come on, you can't say that and mean it, look at this face." Barry points at his awkward sneer that looks like constipation at its worst, "Can you honestly say you don't want to put me behind bars right now?" His free hand pokes at her ribs, "It's on Spider-Woman, I am your nemesis... the irresponsibly evil, diabolical master of theft.." Poke.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica squirms at the first poke, but the second does her in, and she grabs the offending finger. "I'll put ya someplace no one will EVER find you. Under Charlie Sheen's career. Muahaa!" But she takes the finger and kisses its tip. Clearly not buying the Master of Theft's charade.

Flash has posed:
Barry squints his most evil of squints, but is grinning like an idiot and ruining it completely, "How devious! Now we have two parts of a super villain mashup.." He stops when she kisses his fingertip and opens his eyes from their ever so evil squinting, "I feel like stealing something right now." He warns, nodding to dissaude any disagreement with his master plan. "And if you don't ask me what it is so I can stop trying to buid it up encouraging you to ask, I'm just going to tell you and it's going to make it a lot less devious."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica gasps! Theft! So devious. "What....what are you going to steal? Towels? Guest soaps??" Like Jess has guest soaps. Pffft.

Flash has posed:
"No, my archenemy." Barry turns on the couch, his hand sliding along the back of her neck, "A kiss. mw..muhwaha... muwahaha.." His lips quirk to the side, dropping the very over dramaticalized diabolical laugh. "Told you it wouldn't be as diabolical if I had to explain it."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica narrows her eyes. "I'm not afraid you you, Barry Allen. You don't even have a goatee yet." She tousles his hair and grins. "And I'd think you were bluffing, if you weren't so terrible at bluffing. You have the absolute worst poker face /ever/."

Flash has posed:
Barry laughs quietly, but doesn't deny her observation about his poker face, "I always rub my ear when I cheat at cards." He confides in a quiet voice, settling back in beside her with his arm across her shoulders, "I mean, the plot was real, but the juice was drained before it ever hatched into a full scheme ya know?" Turning a little, brow raised. "Besides, I wouldn't ever steal something like that. It'll be very deliberate and agreed upon under the right circumtances because I'm an endlessly hopeless romantic."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Lightning flickers brightly as the storm rolls in again outside. Thunder rattles the windows and makes Jessica jump. She leans to tuck in more warmly against Barry, entwining her fingers with his. "You wouldn't have to steal it," she says softly, examining their hands and noting with some difficulty where she ends and he begins. "It's been a long time since I could say that."

Flash has posed:
Barry squeezes his fingers around her's and nods, "I know." Said quietly with his hand laying on her shoulder, "I don't know that I have ever said that." He admits, returning his head to lean against hers so he can see the flashes of lightning through the small crack in the windows shutters. "I'm still trying to save you from a life as Bart's grandmother." he's joking, not distracting joking, but light hearted warm kind of a shared inside joke, joking.
