Tuesday Afternoon: The Not-so-Abandoned-Warehouse

[notaweenie]

Barry had avoided the warehouse for a total of a day. For the better part of the weekend, he had been holed up here watching friends go through some of the more horrible things that he could have ever imagined. There were of course bright moments that happened as well but the overall horror was outshining those moments

Kathy really wasn't sure that this was the best way to handle things, but her conversation with Anders was preying on her mind and, of everyone, she was closest to Barry and he was one of the furthest removed from what had happened.

That didn't mean he'd be up for talking about it, though. Or that she felt good about asking him to do so.

She also felt like this was somehow doubting Anders, like she didn't trust him to have chosen the safest and most humane options he could have taken. But she just...just needed to know.

And so it was a much less bouncy Kathy than normal who was quietly tapping on the warehouse door.

"If you're here to give me shit about my face you can walk away," Barry said jokingly once he saw who it was.

He put down the arc welder he was currently using and turned it off. Safety first people.

"Your face?" Kathy asked, confused for a moment. Look, it was a million miles away from what she was thinking about. "Why would I--Oh! Your face!" That, at least, got a smile out of her. "No, I didn't come to make fun of you. I got that out of my system yesterday."

Though when she brought up why she was there, he might have preferred the harassment. "Can I come in?"

"Nope. You have to stay out there and have a conversation in fucking semaphore code," Barry said rolling his eyes. "Yes. Duh."

Joker swaggered into the warehouse with a gigantic smirk. Because, hey, he needed to brag to someone, and it sure as hell beat talking about the other huge thing weighing on his mind. "So, Studmuffin," he said, "I hear little Barry's finally become a boy!"

Barry rolled his eyes. "Right. Is this about me kissing Elsa? Because You're a little late to give me shit about it. Besides... What was going on that Eleanor had to drag you to Anders to get healed?

[fly_so_serious]

"Give you shit?" Joker asked innocently. "No, I'm here to congratulate you. You kissed a girl! Good job! In only a few more years, you'll start to grow pubes and your voice will drop! ...Seriously, though, it gives me warm fuzzies. I'm sure it was absolutely adorable."

He gave Barry a smirk. "Eleanor didn't drag me, she just... you know, gave me support. I know it sounds weird to say out loud, but I can't walk well with an injured hand. Because she came so hard she broke my hand. I am the man!"

[notaweenie]

"Shiiiiiiiiiiit."

Barry just stood there for a moment in disbelief. He even forgot the insult Joker just laid on him.

"I'm not sure if I should be grossed out or impressed."
