Cast of Characters: Emiko Queen, Bart Allen




Emiko Queen has posed:
Today is the day! It's a hosted Adoption Day at the local animal shelter nearest Emi's new place in Union Square. She's made sure everything is in order, she has everything she'll need. And Bart is there for support, to ogle cute animals, and to help her select a pair of cats for her new apartment!

She's as casual as she gets in designer jeans, sneakers, that homemade Impulse tshirt (it's going to catch on, just watch!), and a black leather jacket. The apartment is ready to accept two new tenants, with catwalks and high shelves and perches, discrete litterboxes in multiple rooms, and space at each window where they can watch the world pass by at their leisure... to say nothing of the small armory of cat toys spirited around the place.

Emiko flashes a grin at Bart, and holds out her hand, "Ready?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head, and has made sure nothing has been forgotten, and has got the stuff to make food and treats for the cats, but he wants to wait and see what animals they get. He takes her hand in his and says "I think we are ready hon." He shows her two cat carriers he brought along with him.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Perfect! Lets head out." Emiko swipes a kiss across his cheek, beams at him, and off they go!

Its only a few blocks, so they head over on foot, stopping for hotdogs along the way from a vendor run by a kindly but sassy older gentleman. A true fixture on New York City, he seems to get around! Once they have the dogs in hand, Emi takes one of the cages so they can both eat as they walk.

"I did some preliminary searching on their website. There's SO MANY cute cats up for adoption. Is is too late to retire to the country and become the crazy cat lady?" She flashes a grin at Bart before taking a bite of her hot dog. She's kind of cheating on her diet, but the mustard and ketchup and relish TOTALLY count as veggies, right?

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen grins at her, and says "Well, if you have a farm and out in the country, it is not as crazy, plus you can afford to take care of them, that diminishes the crazy." He grins at her, and has his cage strapped across his back. He got his hotdog same as yours, important thing when dating and maybe kissing. He grins at her, and says "So, which ones are you looking at?"

Emiko Queen has posed:
"True... and you realize you're kinda talking me INTO buying a farm upstate and just homing cats, right?" Emiko chuckles as she takes another bite of her dog. She chomps another bite of the dog and chews it up before letting out a gusty sigh, "There are so many amazing cats that need homes.. but I think I have it narrowed down to three potential bonded pairs. I want to see if all three pairs are still there... but I'm kiiiiiiiiinda leaning towards a pair of American bobtail siblings that have a really interesting characteristic. They're both missing an eye. Not the same eye either. One is missing the left eye and one is missing the right eye."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit as he hears this and says "Does it tell how it happened? Birth or an accident, and farms are good things, I buy the chickens from that place I told ya about and take them to a farm up state and drop them off." He admits. He smiles and finishes his hotdog as he walks along with her.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Says they came in with the trauma. So sounds like something happened to them. And I mean, given -everything- that happens around this city, I'm frankly surprised there aren't more animals that come in with injuries. Then again, animals are pretty good at knowing when to get out and get away." Emiko muses idly before finishing off her own hot dog. She flashes a grin at Bart and gives a nod, "Might be worth looking into anyways. Maybe... setting up a place upstate, lots of room. Hire people and just.. make it a no-kill forever home for those animals that can't or aren't adopted out."

She takes his hand again as they enter the shelter, giving his hand a squeeze as she steps up to the desk. "Hi, hello. Ah, I'm Emiko Queen. I spoke to someone earlier on the phone. About a possible adoption? I'm looking for a bonded pair of cats. I was wondering if the bonded siblings with the missing eyes were still available?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will look around the place, as they walk in, he keeps hand in hand with his lady. He starts working things out in his head about possibly setting up the farm." He nods a bit and says "I know someone who might be interested in going in on it too."

Emiko Queen has posed:
As the woman behind the desk checks on the cats, Emiko smiles back at Bart, "Perfect. We should do this, we really should. I would totally help fund it and start networking with the shelters."

THe woman says that the pair are still available and offers to bring them to a private room so the pair can meet them. Emiko agrees quickly and the woman has someone come to show them to a room with two doors, some chairs, and a few toys scattered about. Setting her carrier aside, Emi gets down onto the floor with a grin, "Wait til you see them. They're so fluffy and they look so bright and curious..."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles and will put his carrier down as well. "They may both want to be in the same carrier, but we will figure it out." He grins and sits down beside you and says "Cool, I can't wait to see them and see if they like us."

Emiko Queen has posed:
"I'm so excited! I'm telling you, you're going to LOVE them." Emiko is all smiles as they wait for the cats to be brought in. And after a few minutes, there's a young woman with a smlal black cat tucked under each arm. They're still technically kittens, though obviously on the older end, with fluffy black medium-length fur, little tufts for tails, and two bright yellow eyes between them.

After telling Bart and Emi of the rules for getting to know the kittens, the young woman leaves to give them a few minutes alone with them. The one missing its left eye stares curiously at Bart, starting to sniff around near him as if cat can smell the treats that Bart makes. The one missing its right eye immediately starts engaging in zoomies, racing around the room, pouncing on anything remotely feather or jingly, to Emi's delight.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles and did not bring the treats, but he probably does smell a little of them. Bart holds his hand out to let Lefty smell his hand. He does chuckle softly at Righty, but gives lefty the majority of his attention and lets the kitten make the fist move.

Emiko Queen has posed:
The one near Bart, sniffs around him thoroughly, taking in all the various scents clinging to him, then immediately starts to climb Bart like a tree, angling for a perch on his shoulder. Bart has been determined safe and thus, claimed.

Emiko has picked up one of the toys that's a plastic wand with a trio of feathers around a jingly bell and is fluttering it around for the zooming kitten to chase around, laughing delightedly as it leaps and rolls and chases and kicks at the feathers. After a few minutes, the cat seems to be flagging a bit, so Emi sets the toy aside and scoops up the kitten, who likewise claws up her jacket to perch on her shoulder.

Chuckling, Emi strokes the soft fur and grins at Bart, "I think we've found the right cats. I even have names for them already."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will reach up, and scratches the one on his shoulder's chin. He grins over to her, and says "Oh, what were you thinking?" He grins at the other kitten and says "They are cute little furballs, and seem to like us pretty well."

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Huginn and Muninn," Emiko points to the cat on his shoulder for Huginn and the one on her shoulder for Muninn. "Apparently people are hesitant to adopt animals that have injuries or that might require additional care as they age. But these are the two I want. They're unique, special. And super fluffy and adorable!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit and says "Well, Thor may look at us weird if he ever me meets them." He grins over at her and says "Well luckily, you know someone who can look after them." He will reach up to lift Hugs up, and sees how well he will let Bart check him out, gentle but trying to look at the eye and see if it is something that has finished healing or he will need to look after more.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"I would think Thor of anyone would understand. The One-Eyed Allfather who's black ravens went forth and gathered information to whisper to him... and two black one-eyed cats from the same litter? I bet he'd get it." Emiko grins towards him as she scratches behind Muninn's ear. Rising carefully, she goes to knock on the door the cats were brought through, "Hello? We'd like to adopt these two, please. Is it alright to start the paperwork?"

After a few moments, there's some bustling around, both kittens are tucked into one carrier while Emiko fills out the paperwork on the adoption and pays the fees with a smile. It doesn't take terribly long before the couple are heading out with Emi's new pets!

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles over at her, and says "Luckily since they got the basic exams, I won't have to do it. They seem healthy and have had the basic shots, a few more we might want to get them, and I got a pretty good idea on what they need for food, basically the same formula, I was using for Mr. Murder Mittens, until recently.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"And I made sure they were chipped, just in case they manage to get out," Emiko gives a nod and is already on her phone, going to a site she probably shouldn't be able to access, ordering a pet chip scanner. Glancing up at him, she grins, "You're going to be quite popular with the treats. You'll have to visit often or they'll get upset."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen grins a bit and says "Them?" He slides his arm around her, and says "I'll also make sure my place is safe for them, and that they can't get in on the little guys, in case you want to bring them over with you."

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Huginn and Muninn! You're going to be the popular guy to be around," Emiko leans in against him with the cat carrier holding the pair of kittens against her outside leg. "Awesome, I want to see if I can leash train them so we can go for walks. I bet they'd love to go check things out."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit and says "Well, that might be hard to do, but we can give it a try. I have seen some of the big cats get some training, so I would think it is possible." He will walk her to the door, and says "Head on up, and I will meet you at the door?" He asks her.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko chuckles and gives a nod, "Sure. And from what I understand, it mostly depends on the cat. Some of them will, some of them won't." She leans in, kisses his cheek, then heads up the stairs to unlock the door. "Okay guys, we're nearly there! Your new home is right behind this door."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen heads home, and gets some of the snacks, and some kitten food for the little guys, he will pack some vitamins and other stuff they may need, now that he has seen them. As she is putting the opening the upstairs door, he is standing beside her, and smiles.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Grinning at the little electric tingle that lets her know he's arrived, Emi opens the front door and steps into the apartment, making sure Bart is inside before she closes the door and bend to release the kittens into their new home.

Leaving the door open on the carrier, she steps away and smiles, "Lets get the food and water set up and let them explore for a bit. Once they're ready, they'll come find us." She gives him a smooch and glances back at the emergin pair, then turns and heads for the kitchen.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen kisses her back, and leads her to where she had put the dishes. He opens his backpack, and offers you a couple of bags. You want to put these in the fridge, give them a bit of it each day, it has a lot of vitamins in, it, but I have it set up to taste like tuna. This is there regular food. He brings out a container to show her.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Smiling as he hands her the bags, she gives a nod and says, "I looked it up and the consensus seems to be no more than 1/4 cup of food for each them, no more than twice daily. And treats sparingly, preferably given in conjunction with play. Is that right?" Emiko smiles at him, looking over the bags and containers, then back to Bart.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "Well the fridge one can be a third, as it is vitamins, but if they enjoy it which they should with play or training for reassuring would be best. " He smiles and rubs her back, and says "I think they like it ok."

Emiko Queen has posed:
Leaning in against him, Emiko smiles and rests er head on his shoulder, looking back to where the two cats are sniffing their way down the hallway and around the two bedrooms. Looking back to Bart, she smiles, "Okay. Now that I have rescued cats and am an official pet owner. How about we make some popcorn and watch a movie? Let the cats settle in and maybe they'll join us?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit as he puts his arm around her, and holds her close "Sure, you have a movie or type of movie in mind?" He grins at her and kisses her cheek, waiting for an answer.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Mmmmmmmmmmm, something silly. Maybe Blazing Saddles, or Kung Fu Hustle?" Emi smiles up at him, pulling back and taking his hand to draw him over to the couch so he can see the entertainment center. It's a massive tv, and for more than just movies! There's consoles from each of the three major brands, a computer tower, and some space for a few vintage consoles, if he should so want to pick one or two up and leave them here. "I wanted it to be a place you would be comfortable. Where you'd -want- to be." Kissing his cheek, she leaves him to explore it all while she goes to make up the popcorn.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles and says "As long as your here, I will want to be here." He moves to log into his vudu account where he has tons of movies, it maybe someone has put movies there to try to keep him busy. He goes in and sets the speed back to normal levels, and says "Ever seen Airplane?"

Emiko Queen has posed:
"I saw the second one, but not the first," Emiko calls back from the kitchen. She gets the stovetop going and pulls down one of those old fashioned ones that you make in the big foil bag that expands. "I thought it was the first one, but it was funny enough that I kept watching when Ollie told me I'd pulled up the second one."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "We can start with the first one then." He grins and cues it up, and then makes a place on the couch where they can cuddle her as they watch the movie." He looks over into the kitchen smiling at her.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko smiles across at Bart, winking at him, "So... I was thinking when I get moved in, I might host a small dinner party? And.. I thought maybe you could invite a couple of your friends over, and I'll see if anyone in the Titans wants to come over, and we could just have a night of some fun and good food?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen leans on the back of the couch, and says "We wanting to do just people, or couples? If inviting couples, make sure to invite Terry, Gar and Kian

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Oh, uh, I just figured on inviting people? I was going to put out a general invite at the Tower, thought maybe you could do the same with your other friends?" Emiko smiles over at him, "If we do a couple's dinner I'd make a reservation for a room at a restaurant so nobody had to cook or clean."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "Yea, I can tack something up on the Roost wall, and see who wants to come you have met most of them out of costume already." He admits to her, and says "I just wanted to make sure you knew they were a trouple, took me a little bit to figure it out."

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Good! Hopefully we'll have a decent crowd." Emiko brings the popcorn over and snuggles up to Bart on the couch, kissing his cheek. "I thought Terry had mentioned something about both Gar and Kian being his boyfriends, but I didn't figure it would be polite to ask. That's fine though, whatever makes them happy."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and looks a bit mischievous over at her, and says "Yea, I have let drop Gar and Terry have cute kids." He grins and says "I actually don't know for sure, I mean I know have heard of some heroes who are their decendants but I am from a thousand years from now. I realized there have been some things I should not say that I have said so I try to accidently drop fake facts occasionally.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Chuckling softly, Emiko leans in and presses a kiss to his cheek, "Well I'm perfectly happy not knowing my future. I don't want to know stayed here and we stayed together, or if something happened and we ended up apart..." She tucks her head onto his shoulder and murmurs, "If you do have to leave, I just hope that you'll let me come with you..."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks to her, and says "Well if it helps, one I don't know my own future, and two as I have said I think it is alternate anyways." He cuddles up to her and kisses the top of her head "I want to be with you I aint planning on going anywhere,

Emiko Queen has posed:
"And I want to be with you, but I also feel a little bad that... you have parents, Bart. Good parents. But you're here and you never get to see them and they don't get to see you...." Emiko glances up at him and smiles softly, "You should be able to be with your family." She shifts around slightly, setting the popcorn bowl on the side table and pulling a blanket down to spread across them as she crawls into his lap and slips her arms around his waist. "Mostly... I just want you to be happy."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks to h er and pauses the movie "I have more family here, I have a mom and a grandma, a cousin and an evil granddad in the future. Here, I have a grand dad, a grandma, who does not know me, and at least 3 cousins here. Also my evil Grandfather has been here too, he also does not know he is my grandpa.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Looking up at him, Emiko reaches up, cupping his cheek, "You know I will be here for you. Like I said, I just want you to be happy." Leaning up, she kisses him softly, sweetly, then smiles at him, "If you're happiest here, then I'm just going to be thrilled to have you around."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a moment and then rests his forehead against hers, and says "I am happy here, this is the only real life, I have known." He admits. "I have been back to the future for a short visit before coming back, and a lot of them have been back for little blips." He closes his eyes and says "Emi, I know you won't judge me, heck pretty sure no one else would but I aint told anyone my other Grandpa is the Reverse Flash.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Her smiles grows, letting her eyes close as his forehead touches hers, giving a tiny nod, "Then be here. And I'll be here with you. And we'll make a good life." She curls in against him and just breathes for a few moments, listening to him talk, enjoying the moment. His revelation has her kissing him sweetly, then pulling back to murmur, "Our relatives do not define us, Bart. Only we get to do that. You are not your grandfather. Either of them. You get to decide what you want, the type of person you want to be."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "Well being like one of them is not something I am opposed to, but yea, I know, the only worry I have really is the speed force acts a bit different between them, so, far though mine works like the Flash side of things." He wraps his arms around her pulling her in lightly, and about then they each get pounced on, by their respective cat from the shelter sneaking up on them."

Emiko Queen has posed:
"If your use of the speed force changes, how will that affect y-AH! Huginn!" Emiko goes from yelping to laughing as a furry bundle launches itself onto her shoulder with a loud purr and face rub against her jaw. Reaching up, she pets him, scritching behind his ears, "Done exploring for now, hm? Ready for some cuddles and attention?" She smiles at Bart, "You know that I care about -you- Bart, right? Not your super speed. You could be a completely normal guy, no powers, and I would still feel the same about you."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen chuckles and about then Muninn is leaping up onto his lao, and moving to put his head in between Bart's hand and Emiko's arm trying to get in on the petting, maybe they realize it is a loving moment, or maybe they are little blockers. Bart smiles and does pet the cat, scritching behind it's ears. "Well the fact you asked me out as Bart does support that." HE grins at her.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Mmmmmm, and I kissed you as Bart, too. Bart Allen is the cutest, sweetest, most amazing guy I've met. That he happens to also be a kickass superhero speedster was really just icing." Emiko leans up to gives him a quick kiss before turning her attention back to the cats with a chuckle, "They want to be part of the feelgood, too. Poor guys, bet they haven't gotten much love in their lives." She nuzzles at Huginn lightly, "But that's going to change. You guys live here now, and you're going to get attention and good food and lots of cuddles." She smiles up at Bart, then murmurs, "Ollie's been thinking about going public."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit and says "Really? Wally has done it, he should talk to him, and get his opinion on it, if he does are you going to, I mean you being his sister and the same basic gimmick, as well as you being amazingly the same sexy shape as Red Arrow?" He grins at her, and continues putting Muninn, who ends up on his back and lets Bart rub his belly, The cat flops out like he has no bones in his body at this.

Emiko Queen has posed:
"I don't know. If I did, it would affect more than just me. It would affect you too. And I don't want to potentially expose you if you aren't ready to go public." Emiko looks up at him and smiles softly, "The people that Emiko hangs out with would suddenly come under closer scrutiny, people might start poking around to see if any of THEM are costumed heroes too." She lifts a shrug, "It would be easier for Ollie. He doesn't really seem to hang out with many people outside of his work. And I mostly hang out with people from the Titans, who all mostly seem to be... out. But you aren't, and your friends aren't. And I don't want to put you in that position."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods a bit and says "Well it might come from it from Ollie, but we can handle it as it comes to it. Rob, has a superhero item collection so he looks like a fan boy in his normal id for if anyone sees him around supers who are out and public,

Emiko Queen has posed:
Nodding, Emi smiles at him, "I told him I wasn't ready to reveal myself just yet... but that I would support him if he chose to do so. Mostly.. I wanted to talk to you first and see your feelings on the matter." She glances down at Huginn and smiles as he joins his brother in boneless belly rubs. "I can't see myself pretending to not be with you just so I can... reveal myself as a masked hero."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks to her, and says "Well, I can do pretty well, as pretending I don't have powers, and if you do I will work on another thing I have heard of some of the other flashes do which will help me hide my powers."

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emi lifts a brow at him, "And are you prepared to ignore our relationship completely while we're masked? No hand holding, no hugs, no kisses, no nothing. You would have to treat me like you would anyone else." She leans up and kisses him lightly, "Because it wouldn't be just about hiding your powers as Bart. Red Arrow couldn't be seen dating anyone, because that person would either have to be Bart, or Emiko would have to be cheating on Bart."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmmms and says "Hmm, did not think about that, know with the right timing I can be in two places at once, but yea, it might give you a bit of a bad rep, and folks might notice Bart has yellow eyes like Impulse." He leans over to kiss her.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Nodding, Emiko smiles at him, "I don't care about the rep on my end. But I don't want -you- coming under fire for staying with a girl that's 'obviously cheating' on you." Leaning up, she returns his kiss, drawing him in closer to let that kiss linger for long moments. When it does end, she pulls back with a smaller kiss to his lips and murmurs, "Staying the night tonight?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, his head a bit and says "Yea, I figured stay tonight, cause I want to spend time with you, and also if the kitties act up and ya need any help with them I am here." He offers with a smile snd puts one arm around her as Muninn ends up resting on his lap while he pets the cat with the other hand after restarting the movie.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko smiles and snuggles in close to him with a nod, "Good. I was hoping you'd stay the night. Movie marathon, then cuddles and sleep and I will make waffles in the morning." She shifts ever so slightly to better see the tv as the movie restarts. They spend the evening watching movies, chatting idly about different things, enjoying the kittens' affection.
