It's Finally Movie Night!

This is it, guys. Finally, finally they're going to have the movie night they've been talking about for months. It's been a rough few weeks on most of them, and Cisco is determined to cheer everyone up. He'd stumbled across a 40s movie theatre- the kind that would have shown nickelodeons back in the day- and decided that it was the perfect venue for them. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and they could set up a snack table in front of the small stage beneath the screen.

Party time, here they come.

Cisco has been on cloud nine about this movie night, thrilled to death that he'd found the perfect venue for it. They had both put in plenty of time in the kitchen beforehand and Mick is at the snack table setting up the last of the food. Brownies, empanadas, various other snack foods. Beer, wine, anything anyone could possibly want to drink.

But if the speedsters are wanting to eat till they're full they had better be bringing more food.

Right now he's got a beer in hand, watching Haircut engage one of the other dragons in a game of tag in and out of the chairs.

He's stumbled into one weird-ass life but so far? It's not been that bad.

If he were honest, Oliver would admit that he doesn't want to be here. Since Caitlin had abruptly ended things before they had really gotten started, he hasn't been in the most social of moods. But with enough cajoling from both Barry and Cisco.. here he is. A beer in one hand and sitting off by himself with only a little dragon for company.

Pilot has been ferrying between him and STAR Labs and the little dragon had at least been cooperative enough to send a note or two to Caitlin, simply asking if she was all right.

For now he's playing with the dragon, eventually stroking his back and scratching under his wing while they wait for the movie to start. "Think they'll have Die Hard?"

He really wasn't one for social gatherings like this. He's still just not that good with people.

However this is a special occasion. Tucked away in his jacket are the necessary power dampeners as well as the two remotes to activate them.

It's for Ramon and Snow's own good.

Caitlin only is here for Cisco's own good. She's setting up the dampeners with Harry and has every intention and plan to walk back out and go back to STAR Labs. Maybe hide in medical for a little bit. Maybe a lot bit. Ever since that patrol, she had been in a relatively anti-social mood herself, staying mostly either at STAR Labs or her own apartment. Or babysitting Barney.

The white Frost streaks had gotten more and more frequent, despite Caitlin trying her best to ignore them or tell Frost that she's fine and not that scared or angry or even otherwise, emotionally distressed.

As soon as she finishes the set up, she moves into the party as if nothing suspicious is going on. She wants to see her friend happy, especially after all that he had gone through and Mick? Mick made him happy.

Caitlin made it too easy for her to come out. Repressing emotions, choosing not to feel any of them, anger at herself, essentially putting them under house arrest. The only outside interaction the moodier roommate let them have is playing with Barney and a girl can only take so much being cooped up. She almost wishes that they could talk to each other more easily.

And then someone just had to say something. Luckily, they are in a public and among friends. Her rage quelled to a simmer. For now, at least. But oh no, she's not letting Caity back out.

Frost pours herself some vodka and grabs some popcorn before she plops herself down. At least she could get movie night to socialize somehow. The meta glances around to see whom could be her target of her throwing ice cubes at.

"Hey Frosty." Something is clearly up. She's not quite Frost and not quite the Doc judging by the white streaks in her hair and the way she's carrying herself. Stiff, guarded.

.. a hell of a lot like Snart on bad days.

"What's up with you? Pilot's been over for fire baths every other day."

As soon as he mentions Pilot, Caitlin frowns a little, worried.

"He has? I could have sworn I kept the fire bath lit for him at STAR Labs and that he had plenty of red meat to eat for meals."

She's tense, she knows it, but Caitlin hopes that she could pass it off as her normal self rather than anything being wrong.

Barry had brought over a bottle of...something that he had found at one of the saloons and that he was sure is some kind of bourbon for the party. He's still not great at socializing with the others just yet either and when he sees Doctor Wells, he gives a huge wave and smile, making a bee line for the man.

"Maybe, but he's been unhappy," he points out. "Wrestles with Haircut before getting a bath and heading to hang with Robin Hood," he jerks a thumb over to where the dragon is curled up on Oliver's shoulder.

Neither of them look particularly happy.

"I ain't seen him this unhappy since Red's engagement party."

Someone else from her time period? He probably means Barry and Iris' rehearsal dinner.

She does feel a little bad that Pilot had been commuting back and forth between them. Sometimes with Oliver's notes. Caitlin had taken those notes and set them on the desk that she had. Schroedinger's note. If she never opens them, she wouldn't need to face a let down, right? And she had meant to ask Oliver when he was from. But that sort of thing was too strange to just randomly bring up.

"What happened at the party?"

"Robin Hood must've gotten all sappy or something stupid like that," he shrugs. "Party all but ended when his girl yelled for everyone to hear that she didn't wanna marry him, now or ever."

Should he have mentioned Oliver's humiliation or Felicity's upset? Probably.
But Mick isn't what you'd call discreet.

"Haven't seen him look this gutted since."

"She what?"

Caitlin's eyes widen at the admission. No, certainly the last she had heard of anything or done regarding the big wedding was just returning from the Bachelorette Party from ~~Amunet~~ Hell. But ruining her friends' happiness by shouting out loud for everyone to hear? And with how discreet Oliver is?

Frost all but roars to life and Caitlin goes to sleep.

"Was pretty loud too. Brought the entire thing to a halt for a minute or two." Mick shrugs as he reaches for another empanada. "So what's up with you two anyway?"

What? He may as well ask Frost and get a more direct reply.

"Us two? Nothing. Him and Caity? She's playing that game where she gets to conveniently hide away."

Frost snorts and steals the empanada right out of his hand.

"Thanks, hothead."

He shrugs and gets another for himself. "Mhm. Seems like him and the Doc got some unresolved issues and the dragon don't like it." Although Frost's appearance does get the attention of first Pilot and then Oliver himself.

"Or maybe the unresolved issue isn't between Caitlin and Oliver." Frost gives a shrug. "Pilot is one of those caring types. So maybe he picked up on that little shoutout. And wants Oliver and Felicity to kiss and make up. Ever think about that?"

She glances over to where the drinks are, then back at Mick.

"You really wanna talk about this right now?"

He shrugs. "You don't buy that any more than I do. There's a reason Doc was goin' white without any sign of a threat around."

Aside from Mick poking at things he should probably leave well enough alone but..

"Besides, if that was the case, Pilot would be going between Robin Hood and her, not Robin Hood and you two."

For the moment Harry is waiting for the speedsters to set up the dampeners. It's not something he can do without raising suspicion and this whole mess wasn't his idea anyway.

And it's good to see Allen on his feet again, looking more like his (overeager, enthusiastic) self again. "Allen."

"Oh. I have something for you."

A watch with a glowing blue face. "You'll have to charge it daily, but that will act as a power dampener until you get things under control."

He sets down the bourbon on what seemed to serve as a wet bar and makes his way over, surprised that Doctor Wells had something for him. Barry's eyes widen when he sees what the man had in hand.

"I--" He's touched. "You really meant it." He smiles a little. "How does it work? How does it charge? Is it only by skin contact? How much does it dampen?" And there he goes, a million questions at a mile a minute.

"And here I thought you all liked me for my sunny personality," Frost replies easily. "Pilot hasn't met her yet so I would think that he would want to ask us to help him communicate with the right humans." She really thinks that it all could be easily resolved.

"Besides," she says as she takes a bite out of an empanada, "I read your book, too. When are you going to talk to Cisco?" she drawls, glancing over his shoulder at the meta in question.

Frown.
"What book?"

Sorry Frost, he's totally going to play dumb on this one because as far as he knows, nobody has keyed in to the fact that he'd written that book. The only person that should know is Cisco and if Cisco told the Doc? His roomie was gonna wake up bald.

"Well?" She's going to blatantly ignore his question. "What's going on between you two? Might be a lot more interesting to hear it right from the source instead of hearing other people talk about it. Heard he was right by your side throughout the whole mess we just went through."
