Building Bridges aka Glasnost in broken time

1978 Soviet Russia. It's a bit of a difference from his visit to Russia, but it's also eerily similar. Trade is done in barter versus money, strength is a resouce and his status as a Bratva Captian still means something to the men populating the area. As the video snaps on he's got a heavy jacket on, complete with the epaulets of a Soviet Captain, a couple of bottles of vodka and a bag filled with food.

"До Свидания, друзья!" A salute as he leaves, a call that is echoed by the other Russians in the camp, clearly entertained by the archer.

"Well I'll say one thing - not all of the locals are hostile if you know how to talk to them."

Hey. Livewire II: calm the hell down.

If you're going to panic over every single thing, you're never going to get control over your powers. Seriously, calm the hell down before we have to put you in some kind of galvanized jar like a firefly.

Oh! We can call you Firefly.

[THIS FACE FOREVER, SAM.]

You're right, I should leave the names to Cisco.

Still. If you panic over every single thing, you're going to trigger yourself. I've made metas, I know.

You're not helping if you keep trying to wind him up.

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-25 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not trying to wind him up.
chosenbylightning: (totally paying attention)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-25 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You know cracks like that are going to wind him up.
vivifier: (sad)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-25 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't a crack, Barry. I'm sorry, have you made metahumans?
chosenbylightning: (Yeah?)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-25 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but you made our brother into one. Remember that? Winding him up like this isn't going to help.
vivifier: (hmp)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-25 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...yes, Barry. That's my point. I've dealt with metahumans before.

But fine. Sure. You handle it.
chosenbylightning: (totally paying attention)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-25 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You made metahumans, but you were never there to teach them either, to help them figure out their powers or how they impact their lives.

.. and when did you start telling people your name was Sam?
vivifier: (sad)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-25 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I have. Maybe not in Central City. But I have.

After I was badgered into adopting a 'normal alias that doesn't sound like a serial killer'.

...why?
chosenbylightning: (brown jacket)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-26 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
He may not be from our Earth but getting him riled won't help. You know that.

[And speaking of Sam.. the raptor bumps Barry with a chirp. He sighs and pets the creature.] Because now this dope needs a new name.
vivifier: (so)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-26 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever, Flash.

[ Oh the expression on Savitar's face is not...pleased. ]

I'm sorry?
chosenbylightning: (brown jacket)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-26 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, this is going to go swimmingly, isn't it? He didn't do it on purpose, but Barry isn't one to hope that Savitar-slash-Sam is going to buy it.]

Hey, I'm all for you going for a name change, but I didn't know when I settled on that name for him. I didn't.
vivifier: (knee)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-26 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Really, it's just a question of 'in which direction will he take this badly', isn't it? At least at this current point in his life, there's barely any chance it will go fine. Maybe .23%. ]

...you're all for me going for a name change?

chosenbylightning: (brown jacket)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-26 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Slim odds, but Barry will take that over fury any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

He blinks at the question.]


Yeah. Yeah, why wouldn't I be? Sam Garrick has a nice ring to it. [He almost, almost mentions that Dad would have liked it too, but wisely holds his tongue.]
vivifier: (bangs)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-26 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, this isn't good at all. He wants to be angry, he is angry. But he honestly doesn't know where to direct his anger or what he's even angry about. ]

Does it.

chosenbylightning: (totally paying attention)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-26 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he ever gets home he's going to buy the best bottle of whiskey he can afford and some ridiculously old vinyl for Joe for putting up with him as an angry teenager.] Yeah. I mean, it suits you.

[OH LOOK. Change of subject.] Want to go for a run? See if any other time slips are happening out there?
vivifier: (Default)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-26 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Savitar suits me too. [ Does it? Really? ]

...fine. Sure. [ Maybe he can get Barry to take this cast off of him. ]
chosenbylightning: (Default)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-27 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope. Not touching that one. No way.] I'll meet you over by Big Ben.

Maybe you can help me come up with a better name for the raptor while we're at it.
vivifier: (oh shut it)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-27 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Yeah. Maybe.

[ And he's off towards Big Ben. TO ACTION? ]
chosenbylightning: (Default)

[personal profile] chosenbylightning 2018-01-30 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, it's not a no so he'll take it. Barry heads off to meet him there, waiting at a corner of the large clock tower.]

So I found a couple good places to eat we can hit up after a run. There's a diner over in the fifties that makes some amazing breakfast and if Oliver's been stress cooking again we can raid his kitchen.
vivifier: (very sad)

[personal profile] vivifier 2018-01-30 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Savitar hopes Barry is prepared for some awkward running, with this cast of his. ]

I'd rather not piss off Oliver Queen. [ Arrows to the back are so not cool. ] The fifties place sounds like that restaurant from Midway.
