I haven't done one of these profiles in a really long time, so...bear with me here.
I'm Caitlin, I'm a biomedical engineer and neurosurgeon, but I promise that doesn't mean I'm no fun.
I love science, movie nights, and wine. Let's chat and see where it goes!
fyi laurel is a freakin fetus and doesnt know you so dont take it personally she saw your picture when i was swiping and was like shes cute im gonna talk to her
( Well, that's unexpected. The last time she saw Laurel, she was from Earth 2 and not exactly a fan of Caitlin, so forgive her if it takes her a second to wrap her head around this. )
Oh, uh...yeah, I mean you wouldn't have to try to be on my level if science isn't what you typically do. It's not a requirement on my part or anything.
It's nice to meet you.
( Is that an accurate statement, really, since they're not really meeting for the first time, but also sort of are...? )
[okay just...give him a moment to calm himself down first. right, take #2]
so things are kind of weird here with timelines and stuff you were here before which iiii am assuming you don't remember it happens sometimes though so don't worry about it
OKAY that explains a lot, actually. Last time I saw Laurel, things didn't go well. Although, in this Laurel's defense, that was Earth 2 Laurel. Thanks for the explanation. I'm considerably less confused.
( And by that, she means that she's no longer staring suspiciously down at her device like she's waiting for some indication that this is a joke. A bad one. Younger Earth 1 Laurel, though, Caitlin can handle that. She's seen weirder. )
I probably could, but "science" is a super broad term, so you'd have to narrow down your interest a little for me, first.
( Because, hey, Caitlin is always game for helping someone else learn something new. Even if she'll need to push herself past the initial weirdness of a Laurel from the past, first, to do it. )
( That's actually tricky, because she doesn't know if she should be honest here. It's not like Thea was super specific about when Laurel is actually from.
Either way, she's guessing that it's a bad idea to say that she's been working on finding a way, on the down low, to dampen her powers without having to wear those cuffs. Now that her necklace is gone, anyway. )
I haven't really been working on much lately, independently but...let's go with controlling the levels of metahuman abilities. It's...kind of hard to explain, especially since right now it's completely experimental. Or rather, it was when I was working on it. )
Yeah, she calls herself Black Siren. She was pretty unhappy with Cisco and I for pretending to be Killer Frost and Reverb. Let's just say, it was almost a really bad time.
Okay that sounds great in theory, but I definitely don't have a job here yet and I didn't bring a ton of money with me... Also, are you sure you guys want to LIVE with me? Working together is one thing, but cohabitation is another.
It varies. We never know what we're going to go up against until we're already going up against it. Sometimes even then it takes a tick to really piece the puzzle together all the way.
I've seen people who can slow everything around them down. People who can stretch like Stretch Armstrong. People who can run at speeds unheard of for living things. People who can open portals to other Earths, control the weather, teleport; all kinds of things.
Why don't the three of us get together and discuss it in person? I feel like we do our best work when we're right next to each other, bouncing ideas off one another. If it's a good idea for us to live together, I feel like we'll really know it by the time we're done with the conversation, you know?
( Because it isn't that she has a problem living with either or both of them; it's that Caitlin hasn't had a roommate she wasn't actually dating...since college. And even then, by her third year, she was living off campus alone. She's a little rusty at the whole being a roommate thing. )

I love two of those three things, though I think I could warm up to the science front. Maybe not to your level, but I can try?
I'm Laurel.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
im in beta and cisco is in gamma and this is all a travesty so clearly the three of us need to move
(also the starter apartments are WAY too small)

no subject
I don't think they have metahumans where I'm from.
no subject
No? Unfortunately, Central City is pretty well overrun. Some good, mostly bad.

point
i'm not exactly rolling in cash here either
[considering he only managed to get ahold of his energy bars after cisco had arrived, money has been tight here for a while.]
but if both of you are okay with it
i don't see why we couldn't find somewhere bigger to share
but i'm not going to force either of you
[especially since he has no idea how...enthusiastic they may be about generating energy here.]

black siren, sounds trampy, i love her a little
no subject
Then again, I haven't seen her since she tried to kill me, so maybe she's changed?
no subject
if everyone held "he shot me/he tried to kill me" against oliver he wouldnt have any friends so
[ no double standards! ]
no subject
He's never shot or tried to kill me, so... I can't really speak to that. I'm not personally a fan of people who try to kill me or my friends.
( She's holding a grudge. Black Siren is in good company; she's still bitter about Jay, too. )
