I...

No. [ It's a lie, and an easy one to spot too. ]

[chillestrogue]

Mick.

[Nope. Not falling for it for a split second]

[hottestrogue]

Fine yeah. It's hard not to, they are so damn helpless.

[chillestrogue]

So what's all this crap about me being a hero for you when you were being a hero to them?

[hottestrogue]

I wasn't even supposed to be on the team to begin with.

[chillestrogue]

And what, that's good enough to throw your life away?

This guy - this Rip Hunter - he might not think you're worth much, but that's what he doesn't get, Mick. If he doesn't have the patience, the intelligence, to see you as the asset you are, then he's an idiot.

[ugh ugh feelings. No. But maybe this has to be said to stop Mick from focusing on all this hero crap]

You're the best partner I've ever had.

[hottestrogue]

[ Mick blinks. He hadn't expected that. Hadn't expected any of this. ]

You're the best [ He pauses, figuring out how to say this ] the only partner I've had.

[chillestrogue]

[He nods back slowly, reaching out after a second of contemplation and setting his hand on Mick's shoulder]

You and me. That's how it's always been. Right?

[hottestrogue]

[ Mick leans against it. ]

Us against everyone else, yeah.

[chillestrogue]

Good.

So let's go rob something, huh?

[hottestrogue]

Anytime boss.
