THE BODY HEAT MEME

caitlin snow.

[trigeminalheadache]

[ Look, okay, she can still feel the cold when she has her cuffs on. ]

[advena]

[ kara's pretty invincible, as far as superheroes go. the whole alien dna thing works out in her favor — it would practically take a kryptonite bomb to really do her in. and when it comes to winter, well, kara doesn't get cold, at least not in the same way that other people do. she wears a jacket and can tell the difference in the temperatures, sure, but frostbite has never been a concern for her.

that is, until she'd found herself on the wrong end of caitlin's icy grip, her own foolhardy gesture knocking the cuff undone. it hadn't taken more than a second for the ice to surround kara's skin, thick layers of it roping around her, and while caitlin fumbled with the cuff, the air around them became thick with frost.

so much for a fun winter activity. ]

[ Guess who hasn't been told about winter jackets?? And guess who hasn't been told about black ice either!??!

Mon-El stumbles and slips his way indoors, shivering wildly, before pounding on Kara's door. ]

Please be home! I really hope you're home.

There are certain things Cisco hates. He hates banana flavored candy and people who hate Star Wars. He hates when people get mad about his commentaries through movies and pine-scented air freshener. But he would totally accept all of these things if meant he never had to be cold because that, sir, is just miserable. That biting, bone-deep, can't-get-warm-no-matter-what-you-do cold is just the worst. And when the heat went out in the apartment because of some freak snow storm no one could have had a chance to predict--and Cisco has half a mind to wonder if it's a meta they just haven't found yet--that's exactly what he has to deal with.

One good thing does come out of it, though: A perfectly good reason to lay in bed, piled under blankets and curled against his boyfriend who, thankfully, is a pretty good human-shaped space heater.

"This sucks." He mumbles, the pout he's wearing perfectly clear in his voice. "I hate winter."

sara lance.

[ hey sara, how are you? are you cold? it's pretty cold in this bunker, isn't it? for human beings, anyway, it's pretty cold.

waiting for mr i-have-too-much-body-heat to scout out the tundra, kara and sara have the unfortunate joy of waiting in this frigid wasteland. granted, it's not really fair to call it a wasteland. there are tables and chairs and other proper furnishings for a bunker, but it's boring and kara is tired of waiting around for somebody else's all clear.

feet tapping anxiously, kara cranes her neck to try and peek out the windows. maybe this time, sara won't spot her doing it. subtlety and subterfuge are not her forte, though, so that's pretty unlikely. ]

( Helena Bertinelli feels like she's been drawing the short fucking straw for decades, now. Old news is old news: family slaughtered, raised by assassins, bullied by Batman, treated as a monstrosity by just about everyone. That was fine. She could live with it; it wasn't like she'd ever done everything else.

But then things happened the way they always happen, and she got spat out into some other reality. The relief at hearing the word Canary had ended rather rapidly, it must be said. Nothing like finding out one of the only friends you have (three, really, she has basically three friends) either doesn't remember or doesn't exist. She's not sure how all this crap works, that was Barbara's area.

The point is, she's been in a Bad Mood™ for the three weeks she's been stuck in this social hellscape in a flying death trap with a bunch of people whose hair probably belongs in a commercial for conditioner. The ones who shave it off probably did so out of sheer shame (and by the way Captain Cold? Heat Wave? What the fuck, alternate universe?) And now Helena is stuck with Not Dinah, her Not Buddy, in a place where they are Not Warm. Twelve hours to the schedule pick up, mission accomplished, but oh, God forbid that medieval Scotland have God damn heating.

TL;DR - behold, 5'11" of moodiness with a Sicilian accent and murderous-at-best inclinations, reporting for warmth. She's sticking it out from pure stubbornness, but it's concern for Dinah (""""""Sara"""""") that makes her relent from her place sitting with her back against the wall - did I mention she's sulking? )

We'll be warmer if we share it.

( The bed, she means. The one bed. The one bed that is very nice, fit for a Lord, if you are from the Dark Ages. )

you didn't see that terrible fail

[unrecognizable]

[ she'll be the least surprised of all to find out that not every idea he has goes according to plan. this trip, a way to remember the time spent on lian yu, without dredging trauma they've done their best to leave behind. hence the lack of camping gear and solitude in location.

a silver lining; the shelter they put together is holding up, keeping frigid winds from making their night miserable. easier to just be when he's alone with sara; she understands, in ways that no one else ever could, the only other witness to a few of his darkest moments. stirring the fire, he looks across the flames, letting their eyes meet briefly ]

Thanks...for coming. This is what I miss, you know? How free things felt when we were on the island. [ a brief pause, his lips pulling into a smile ] When we weren't constantly near death. [ as much as their campfire is helping, the stark drop in temperature is still winning out ]

[inox]

[malfunctioning climate controls in a timeship? absolutely.

sorry, captain lance, but nate's taken up refuge in your office because it's the warmest place on the ship. at least until jax figures out what's going on and gets the heat up and running.

feel free to join him as shivers under three blankets while clutching a cup of coffee like it's his only hope.]

[Give me dumb cuddly things, y'all. I love it so much.]

[alwaystrying]

[ Vigilantism opens up a vast and unpredictable world to everybody who dares to get involved with it. No one knows who they'll meet, where they'll go, what exactly they'll have to do.

Cisco is one of the nicer people Laurel's met since she opened that door. She may not know him from Adam, but she has a good feeling about him. Smart, resourceful, good person. He got a better shot at her good books than most early on.

So one can imagine the shame filtering into the walk-in freezer they've been abandoned in for Nebulous Crimefighting Reasons. It's not that she wanted to prove herself to him in so many words. But honestly, the number of people who had a simple, undeniably positive reaction to finding out she's the Black Canary is a low one. Even if it wouldn't impact her desire to be out there fighting for justice, the desire not to go from "awesome" to "disappointment" is only human. And giant freezers are as insulting as they are cliched.

At least they just have to hold out until the team takes care of business and sweeps the block looking for them. In the meantime, she's learned that failing to kick doors open is incredibly defeating. ]

... would you believe me if I told you I normally show people a much more successful time with crime-fighting?

[ come join oliver 'i spent the better part of five years on an island in the north china sea and don't get cold' queen ]

[advena]

[ in the middle of winter, in the middle of the night, two full days after she should have gone home but didn't — well, suffice it to say, this isn't the best time for the power to go out. especially not a few days before christmas, when emergency maintenance is likely slim to none, and a response could take hours.

with a sigh, kara sits up, tugging the heavy down comforter with her. ]

That's not good.

[ i can't think of something hilarious to put here but heck yes to this meme ]

[unrecognizable]

[ he's always taken a certain amount of pride in being ready to deal with most situations; especially since those five years away, when survival on a day to day basis wasn't guaranteed, and the only thing that could be relied on...was him. maybe that's why their current predicament is such a stinging blow; mild as the winters typically were in star city, his obliviousness to the oncoming snow storm had left the two of them confined within the foundry. a state of the art lair for vigilante action; housing enough of an arsenal to fend off a small army...and yet not a single bit of that helped with the cold.

still, blue vinyl mats that lined the floor were comfortable enough, if not quite bed like, and after checking for the fifth time to make sure the power remained out, he took a seat beside laurel, closer than friends normally would. ]

You okay? [ they had bottled water and the large supply of proteins bars he kept stocked; though, in that moment, oliver would have gladly traded both for hot cocoa. eyebrows knitting together, his head turns, gaze falling on her ] Laurel...you're shivering.

Kara Danvers • Supergirl

[clobbers]

( The cold doesn't bother her, but cuddles are always welcome. )

[unrecognizable]

[ Stubbornness didn't play a part in his decision; refusal to let Kara suit up and take part on the nightly patrol stemmed from making sure no one could make a connection between the appearances of Supergirl in Star City, and when the mayor's new girlfriend came for a visit. A decision easily regretted, after things had taken a particular turn. No bruises or injuries; low level street crime, while dangerous, carries a familiarity to it. Oliver's mistake was the location where it all happened. Those ill maintained docks at the abandoned industrial section of the Glades.

Rotting wooden plants gave way moments after the thugs were apprehended; plunging him into the frigid depths. Cisco did a far better job at making his suit water resistant than anyone else could have, but ultimately, it offered little in the way of protection. When he finally did get back to the foundry, where they'd agreed for her to wait, he's already stripping off the leather components, wet hair sticking to his head ]

K-Kara. [ Impossible to mask the shivers racking his body; or how pale his skin looks under the glow of overhead fluorescent light. Survival skills gained on the island had kept him from hypothermia; still, the idea of getting warm is all that matters right then ]
