Voice Post

[evogirl]

I probably should have done this earlier, but hi I'm Claire. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone.

I've met a few people so far, but not a lot. So if you want to say hey, and tell me a little about yourselves. Maybe we can all learn about each other.

[Claire's a bit nervous about all of this, and it is pretty obvious in her voice, but she's trying to be confident.]

I'm from Texas and I used to be a cheerleader. I was going to college before I got here, but I kinda...missed a lot.

[Now she sounds a bit sheepish and disappointed.]

I had a lot going on.

That's pretty ...

... badass.

[evogirl]

My dad could fly. My mom could control fire. My birth parents, I mean.

[smoak]

[ Putting aside the genetics of a man who could fly and a woman who could control fire having a child who could heal... ]

What happened?

I mean, it sounds like your birth parents didn't raise you.

[evogirl]

They didn't. I was adopted when I was a baby. They thought my mom died in a fire, and well no one knew who my dad was until much later.

[smoak]

I don't really know who my dad is, so I ... get that. I think. [ The admission just sort of comes out. ]

So how'd you figure out that you could heal? Never got sick as a kid?

[evogirl]

It actually didn't manifest until a few years ago.

[smoak]

Oh.

[ She can hear in Felicity's voice that she hadn't been expecting that. ]

[evogirl]

...Are you okay?

[smoak]

Uh, yes. Sorry. I've just never had a conversation like this before.

I mean, I love superpowers, don't get me wrong. I grew up wishing I had them, and reading about them in comic books.

I guess I just never ever ... ever thought I'd be talking to someone who had them in real life.

[evogirl]

Um...surprise?

[ Most people don't expect this Felicity, it's okay. ]

We can meet up if you want sometime...and I can show you how it works?

[smoak]

[ Claire's just so honest and direct about it that it makes Felicity feel like she's really been missing something her entire life. ]

Yeah.

I mean yes, that's- that would be amazing. ...are you sure?

[evogirl]

Sure, I don't mind at all.

[smoak]

Then yes. Whenever you want really. I'm ... generally free.

[evogirl]

Cool, we'll get together sometime.

wrap?

[smoak]

Looking forward to it.

[ A beat before: ] I'll talk to you later then.
