Swoop Races with Barry and Cisco

[childofrebellion]

The door opens onto a decently lit alley with building's reaching up, ships overhead and a crowd of various alien races moving in the cross-street.

Cassian holds it for Barry and Cisco to walk out, searching up for surveillance and listening for 'trooper boots, "Welcome to Corsin.

Barry takes up the rear, ready to move if they run into any trouble, and grateful when they don't find any.

"One of the other racers slammed into Howl pretty hard and he lost control of his swoop." Barry couldn't say if it was just in the course of trying to win the race, or if the move was a deliberate attempt to hurt the man, though.

"He's fine, I got him off the bike before it hit the track."

[childofrebellion]

"Its usually not that exciting here. Good, did you shift some of the people behind us too? I didn't know you could do all that,"

There should have been more injuries, he's seen what kind of damage speeders can do. If that's what Barry can do, then he's not only meant to be a hero, he's a good one.

As they're standing, he reaches around to try and see how bad his back is, it feels tender.

[run_barry]

Barry nods, frowning a little.

"Yeah, I moved as many people as I could out of the way."

"Superspeed," Cisco says in explanation, shrugging.

He notices Cassian's actions and gives the man a nod. "You okay?"

[childofrebellion]

"You did a lot. Yes, nothing too bad. You mentioned souvenirs. I know I saw a place selling swoop models somewhere,"

As he doesn't seem to be bleeding, he adjusts his shirt.

[makes_the_toys]

"That sounds like a fine-not-fine to me," Cisco notes. He won't pester Cassian about it, though. He just feels a bit bad the man was hurt saving Cisco's skin.

It gives Cisco something to think about, and maybe some things to reevaluate.

[run_barry]

Barry's smile returns on Cassian's words, and he nods, glad for the acknowledgement, but more glad he was able to help.

"Let's check it out. If you're up for it." Barry gives Cassian his own doubtful look, hoping the guy isn't really hurt too bad.

[childofrebellion]

"I'll put some bacta on it later, but it probably won't need it. I am," He's good at judging what needs looking at and what doesn't.

Down a block and with about one turn, they end up at a store that seems to have everything swoop related like models, clothing, holovids.

[run_barry]

Entering the shop, Barry and Cisco immediately split up and start poking around.

"Wow, this stuff is cool. I should get Joe and Iris something." Of course, not being able to explain where it came from makes that tricky.

[makes_the_toys]

"Oh man, models. I need all the models," Cisco enthuses, bending to take a closer look at those on display.

[childofrebellion]

"We don't have that many credits,"

He smiles, the Rebellion never has that much but he's good at finding ways to have enough for what might happen.

[makes_the_toys]

"What, they don't take debit cards?" he jokes, then focuses on the task of picking which model to take, since all of them isn't an option.

[run_barry]

"Too bad they don't have anything that says 'I got this from another universe'," he laughs.

[childofrebellion]

"Not ones that you would have and you know where its from. What are you thinking about?"

He walks closer to see what they're both looking at. That seems to be the idea and Cassian's doing some calculating, he might be able to have little extra for them. He can wait to buy some of the spices he was thinking about.

[makes_the_toys]

"Kidding," Cisco says easily, amused.

The model he's looking at is a lot like the swoop Em Artha had in her race.

[run_barry]

Barry keeps looking, but doesn't see anything he really has to have. Besides that, it seems like budget might be a bit tight for Cassian and Barry would much rather Cisco get something.

"I think I'm good," he says, "But if we could hit another one of the food carts before we head out that'd be great."

[childofrebellion]

"That's a nice one and yes, we can. Want to try something different?"

There are lots of options after all.

[run_barry]

"Whatever you recommend," Barry says easily. Barry is eager to try new things here in Cassian's world.

[makes_the_toys]

"Yeah, this is the one," Cisco decides, picking up the model reverently. "Totally going in a place of honor in my workshop."

[childofrebellion]

Cassian buys it from the shopkeeper who's not really paying attention to them but watching a holonet report of the crash. Though does take the time to put the model in a bag for Cisco.

Outside Cassian heads back to where they started from and finds a stall with a different selection, less on sticks, more fruits and in buns, "You've got that kind of space?"

[makes_the_toys]

"Of course I do, it's where I invent awesome," Cisco says, accepting the bag with a grin.

"Thanks, Cass, this is great."

[run_barry]

Barry catches the report and turns his back on the shopkeeper, suddenly awkward and trying to play up complete innocence until they're outside.

"S.T.A.R. Labs is a pretty big facility," he puts in. "Even with a chunk of it still in cleanup there's plenty of room to work and stuff."

[childofrebellion]

"That's nice, its always easier to do anything when you're not crowded. You're welcome,"

That's not something Cassian's had a lot of, the Rebellion's never had much space.

[makes_the_toys]

"Well, considering the facility was built to be staffed by like, a hundred people, and there's only three of us now, yeah, we've got room," Cisco says, chuckling.

[run_barry]

"I know having my own space makes my job a lot easier," Barry says with a nod. "When I gotta work on scene with other people it gets tricky staying out of their way."
