It's Finally Movie Night!

[goodviberations]

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.

Frost would if she was there. Caitlin sits there, shocked that she's there when Frost immediately goes away. She gets up and looks around, not finding Barry or Savitar, or anyone other than herself, Cisco, Mick, and Oliver. She walks over to where the note is hanging by the main door and reads it over.

Her eyes widen when she realizes that the dampener she worked on for Cisco had to have had a duplicate that was able to dampen her powers--

Oh no.

[havingprecision]

Oliver had caught the speedsters leaving, but hadn't thought much of it. Barry always did have a short attention span so maybe he'd gone off after more food.

Only he didn't come back. Neither did Savitar.

He's on his feet, moving to read the note.

Oh he's gonna shoot Barry twice for this little stunt. "There has to be another way out."

[snowandfrost]

She nods and begins to look around.

“They even took Pilot.”

[havingprecision]

None of the dragons are left. It's just the four of them and Mick and Cisco are engrossed in their own conversation.

"Can I talk to you?"

[snowandfrost]

She looks at him. She knows she has to and Caitlin nods.

"I...should have talked to you before. But...Oliver, what was the last thing that happened with Team Arrow and Team Flash before you came here?" she asks.

[havingprecision]

"Sara had just been murdered. Laurel brought her back to the Foundry." A faint, if strained smile. "Lyla had her baby."

"I know most of you are from further ahead in what will be my future. But I can't remember what has happened to me yet."

[snowandfrost]

And Sara had just left.

"Oh, Oliver."

Caitlin steps forward and puts her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly. That means that he would have been from the same time they were dealing with Zoom.

"I'm sorry," she whispers, "I wanted to talk but I just...got so afraid every time because I didn't want to hurt you or hurt Felicity. I thought you'd...be better off without me."

[havingprecision]

All of the tension just melts out of Oliver when she wraps her arms around him and he smiles as he returns the embrace. "I'm better with you here, Caitlin. I don't know what my future holds here or back home, but right now I know I'm better with you here."

"With me."

[snowandfrost]

It feels good to have his arms around her and Caitlin lets herself feel it, feel the warmth of the archer and the solid presence of him. She pulls back a little and looks at him as he says that he's better with her here with him. Confusion colors her features for a moment.

"Better? Who says you're not better just as you are? I always thought that you were improving yourself but you're not a bad person just as you are."

[havingprecision]

He feels so much better with her in his arms, warm and wonderful and his fingers card through her hair gently. "Maybe not bad," he allows. "But I keep trying for better."

"Better is easier with you, Cait."

[snowandfrost]

She relaxes in his arms and it shows.

"Not a lot of things are easy with me, Oliver." But he knows, doesn't he? He knows about Killer Frost, about being on Team Flash. "You realize you get two for the price of one, right?" But Felicity. "What about Felicity?"

[havingprecision]

"Nothing worth fighting for is ever easy," he answers easily. "Frost and I talked earlier. I'm more than okay with two for one."

"Felicity.. she's my friend. She will always be my friend, but from what I remember, it wasn't going to work out. I don't want to be beholden to a future I don't remember, a future that might not be the same if we ever do find a way home."

His hand cups her cheek. "I would much rather figure out that future with you, Caitlin Snow."

[snowandfrost]

Caitlin lets herself lean into his touch and looks at him. She's sure that if she really did have a frozen heart, it would've melted by now from what he's saying. It had been a long time since she let her guard down this much. She did for Jay, she did for Julian, but not this much.

"I'd like to figure that out with you too, Oliver Queen."

[havingprecision]

And if she doesn't stop him, Oliver is going to close that distance and deliver a very warm and very overdue kiss.

[snowandfrost]

She isn't going to stop him. Caitlin kisses him back, feeling the warmth down to her toes. It had been a long time since she felt a kiss like that. But then she pulls away, remembering that they weren't the only ones trapped. Caitlin doesn't move away from his embrace. There's color on her cheeks.

"We probably should check on Cisco and Mick. And see if we can find those dampeners."
