[laurel lance. age 22. alive.

right, okay. he can do this...]

hey
hi
uhhhh
i'm barry allen
i'm
a friend of your sister??

[that shouldn't be a question, allen.]

[prosecutorial]

[Luckily for Barry, he looks enough like a college student - or even a grad school student so this could be a TA or something - that she doesn't question that phrase.]

Hi. Did you go to school with Sara or something?

[She really isn't sure how up she feels to talking about Sara at the moment, but context is important.]

[speedforcer]

Not exactly??

[okay, that’s it. banned from using question marks. but this whole situation feels weird to him. sure, he may have gone through this before. but he really doesn’t know laurel the way he knows his best friend. doesn’t have quite that same connection as he does with his sister from another world. being on the receiving end of it all is one thing. but trying to lead the way here...]

so
okay
how much do you know about timetravel?
like
from movies and books and stuff?

[prosecutorial]

[... okay, maybe now she's starting to regret this.]

I may have seen a couple episodes of Doctor Who? What does this have to do with my dead sister?

[So ... that may help fill in some blanks, Barry.]

[speedforcer]

[ohhhh crap. mayday, mayday. he wants off this ride now please.]

okay just hear me out before you freak out
or threaten to hit me

so i'm from 2017
sara made it off the gambit
she survived
i don't know all the details though cause we've never really talked about it
but you could ask oliver?

[prosecutorial]

[So Laurel doesn't respond to this for a really, really long time. Probably not until she actually talks to Thea who will hopefully explain timelines and maybe has a few drinks and works through the feelings that come with that particular revelation. No offense, Barry, but she's not just going to let some crazy rando tell her that both her sister and Oliver are alive and take that on face value.

IT'S COMPLICATED.

But maybe a couple of days later, she comes back to this again.]

Sorry, I just ... I didn't want to take something out on you that you didn't deserve. Because for you it may be 2017, but for me, it's 2007 and my sister and Oliver died six months ago.

[speedforcer]

[as concerned as he may have been with the sudden lack of contact, he'd understood that need for it. a few years ago he was in a similar position. perhaps not with people seemingly coming back from the dead. but finding out about wells-slash-thawne had definitely taken time to work through. the fact that laurel had even come back to respond only a few days later says a lot about how little she really has changed in the time between her now and the version barry was once familiar with.]

hey
it's okay i get it
don't worry
i just didn't want to hide it from you when a bunch of people here have met all of you before

[prosecutorial]

Believe me, I appreciate it. I've had enough of people lying to me to last me a lifetime right now.

[It's still a lot to process, but if there are future friends here, then she still wants to get to know them. Even if they're not people she knows right now, maybe it'll make her feel a little less alone.]

Do you mind if we meet? I feel like this would be a lot less strange if you were more than just a person behind a screen.
