Hi. This is Nathaniel. You responded to my text about therapy and recommended Harley? I got another text saying kind of awful stuff about her. I didn't have a lot of space to think about it then, but her recent post reminded me of both. But you said glowing things about her. So maybe what the other person said was wrong.
[ And then another text a few seconds later. ]
But you also said it wasn't the same Harley you knew. Never mind. I'm sorry to have bothered you.

You're fine, Nathaniel.
If it helps, the post recently made by her is nothing like the woman I knew. Different timelines, I guess.
Harley that I knew had dumped the clown and moved on. Not everyone has the same lives here, even if they look just like the people we knew.

[This is several days after his network post, but three trays are delivered to the beach house. One has tacos, one has cupcakes, and the other is a breakfast medly (pancakes, waffles, french toast, fruit, bacon, etc.).
All residents are free to enjoy but they are clearly tailored to Kyle and Alex. There's no note or anything, but the cupcakes have little lightning bolts on them.]

[Around 9:30 PM, Kyle receives a video message request. When he accepts it, he'll see Charles, neatly-dressed and seated in his shabby apartment in the submissive public housing, a full legal pad and pen laid out on the table in front of him. Despite his surroundings, he's at ease and there's warmth in his expression.]
Good evening, Kyle. I have a proposal for you regarding the hospital taking on a robotic assistant.
Although, I suppose the first question I should ask before I even begin to explain is: Is technology like this something you could see fitting into the way you run the hospital now?

[ Kyle opens the request from home, at least there's a house behind where's he's seated on a lounge chair and there surf might be heard. He considers the other man, his demeanor and he can't help but smile even as he sits up. ]
Good evening, Charles. [ A brow arches at the first part and then he can't help but smile. ]
The way I run the hospital is that we do what we can for others and ourselves in not only surviving here but thriving as much as we can. I've embraced magical healing here, and what would be deemed alien means back home.
[ He smiles then, shifting in his chair as if leaning into the camera curiously. ]
So talk to me about this assistant.

Dr. Valenti?
If time allows, I'd like to meet or speak with you, please. It is about Barry Allen.
I know you are busy at the hospital, so let me know when you are free. There is no rush.
Thank you.

are you okay?

There's something I've been meaning to ask you.
[Is it something serious or purposeful, the way messages with Charles usually are?]
Is there a magical reason your portals are [baffling abominations] vampire clowns?

[ The first text gives Kyle pause, wondering if there was something wrong. That second text though, he can't help but laugh. Though the sound was almost more like a giggle. ]
You know, I'm not sure.
I always just assumed they were that way to be ignored by most since most avoid clowns.

[He'd seen the assignment and had wondered about how he was going to handle this. Both for him and for Toby.
Despite himself he can't help but to laugh. ]
Heart of a romantic, Toby. Gotta tell you.
Should I just lay back and think of England?
[ Though he supposes he should just be thankful that Toby makes quota at all each month. ]
I got your name as well, btw.
I can be home shortly though. That work or would you rather I come to your place?

[Next time Kyle makes it to Haven, he'll find a large festive box with two bottles of scotch and a variety of junk food inside. There's also a small amount of cash clipped to a note.]

Thanks for everything. I mean it.

[On his desk at Haven, Kyle will find a small package wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Inside is a red handkerchief with his name stitched into the corner in black, along with a familiar red silk scarf. In the twine is a note with his name written on the outside of it.]
Kyle,
While our paths mainly cross in my line of work, I gift you something I hope will interest you: something that marks you as mine in part, a gift made by my hands with your name upon it. I gift you also a reminder that I am always at your call, whether at The Crucible or elsewhere. Call on me, and you may have my time once more. In fact, I insist that you do - and soon.
Your friend,
Amelia

[Sometime during the evening of July 9th, Kyle receives a simple bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums with a rolled up note tied to it. Once unrolled, the note bears the words 'Thinking of you and your boundless optimism.', and Charles' familiar signature.
Included along with the note is a poem that Charles has remembered, and penned out by hand, original punctuation inclusive:]

[somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond]
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
[ Charles has no way of knowing how much Kyle needed such kindness and affection in that moment, but it takes him a while to compose himself. He knows he could send a text after that, but a written note seems more appropriate and Charles will find it on his desk the next morning. ]
Your timing is impeccable, and your kindness so needed. Things have been rough lately, but then I received your gift and you truly made things better just in knowing you're there.
I was thinking maybe we could go out sometime? Maybe dancing? Or just a bonfire on the beach and talking? I'd like to spend more time with you. Yes I will absolutely monopolize your time if you let me.

Hey Kyle. This is Alec Lightwood.
I had a question - a newcomer with office skills and superpowers is looking for a job, I offered to ask the Doms I still knew if they knew of anyone decent hiring.

Yes! Yes, this.
Have a small fee for entry, but I think that might work really well.
If I recall correctly, we do have a good deal of gamblers around. Plus I think people just like to have a good, fun time.
Give back to the greater good.

So these potions we got. What-all do they do an how do ya use ‘em? Askin for future reference.
[He'd known there were healers on staff, and he’d been aware, vaguely, that people with “magic” sometimes said they could cure ills with said talent, but he hadn’t really put much stock in that. Still, it would be good to know, in case he ever ran into something he couldn’t fix with a hypo or the barbaric needle and thread.]

When we're fully stocked, as we are getting back to with Nate back in the city, I use them for those comfortable with magic and who have medium to severe injuries or where it's getting in their way.
For a while I was having to ration them a bit since the supply was dwindling.

Forgive the abrupt nature of this missive, Doctor Valenti. I'd recently purchased several healing potions from Nate Hawthorne, and I'll not be needing them. He mentioned he supplies the hospital, and I wonder if I might bring them to Haven and leave them with you.
