[Backdated to the end of Jaime and Cissie's awkward date] Arrow 01

[alwaysanarcher]

... Well, that just happened to be the most awkward night of my life.

I don't know about you guys, but I definitely didn't sign up for "arriving in a new world and meeting your boyfriend of six months... that you've never met before." Or any of this, really, but. I sorta-kinda don't want to make out with someone I don't even know.

I'd like to say I know what you mean and empathize, but my experience in that regard is lacking.

Welcome to the fold, I suppose.

[alwaysanarcher]

Trust me: this is one area in which you don't want experience.

Thanks, I guess. My name's Cissie. What's yours?

[12thlvlmind]

I concur.

Brainiac 5.

[alwaysanarcher]

Brainiac...? Like that guy Superman's fought a couple of times? [no one's bothered to educate Cissie on the Legion.]

[Filtered; transmitting his own security code now]

[12thlvlmind]

No, not really.

Brainiac... He's my ancestor.

I'm a member of the Legion of Superheroes in the 31st Century, actually. I fought with Superman, along his side when he was younger.

[filtered | Cissily appreciates the extra security!]

[alwaysanarcher]

Whoa. Sorry, but I've never heard of the Legion of Superheroes until now.

... Wait a sec. If you know who Superman is, that means we're from similar universes. That's a first.

[12thlvlmind]

I'm not surprised, and it's fine.

It certainly is. Have you seen that Bruce Wayne is here as well?

[filtered]

[alwaysanarcher]

Seriously? What would they want with him? [doesn't know Bruce's secret identity, whoops.] Isn't he just another millionaire playboy?

[filtered]

[12thlvlmind]

I'm sure he has... certain attributes that make him... uh.. worthy of this task. Not to mention his monetary support may be useful.

[filtered]

[alwaysanarcher]

You don't sound very confident of his abilities. But... the money works. I'm sure his fundraising skills'll come in handy to us eventually.

Still. The Bruce Wayne here in Haven. Jeez, that's impressive.

[12thlvlmind]

It's not the most accurate description, I admit. Just don't hold me to it. [Read as: I'm sure you'll figure it out soon enough.]

[filtered]

[alwaysanarcher]

[Now she's very suspicious!] ... All right. Thanks for the heads-up.

[filtered]

[12thlvlmind]

Are you a crime fighter in your time?

[filtered]

[alwaysanarcher]

... No. Why do you ask?

[filtered]

[12thlvlmind]

It was a reasonable assumption considering how many there were at the turn of the 21st century.

[filtered]

[alwaysanarcher]

Just because I'm from your universe doesn't mean I'm one. I'm sorry, but... I never was.

I was an actress for Hollywood - and I was in the 2000 Summer Games - but beyond that? I didn't do much.
