[As Cisco sits, Eddie cautiously brings the bag of food over toward himself and pulls it open, tugging out the sandwich and veggies. Something in his shoulders relaxes, when he sees what it is - protein, vegetables, a bit of carbs - and he opens the container of veggies. Pushing the dip aside, he puts a carrot in his mouth and bites off a piece, exhaling softly as Cisco says that this is what friends are for, that he's the only other meta here and they have to stick together.
For a moment, Eddie's quiet, chewing and swallowing his carrot, and then looking up at Cisco. Catching his eyes with his own a little wide.]
Oh wow. I am a meta, aren't I? Wow...that's... [He swallows again, glances down and then back up at Cisco's face, smiling.] That's kind of amazing. You know...I always had kind of a daydream I was actually a meta, that I could fight crime like the Flash did, you know?
[Licking his lips, he exhales, slips a snap pea into his mouth and gathers his thoughts while he's chewing.]
Dodger's robot dog contacted me with a glitchy message and a recording of a fight between Dodger and Ivar starting. So of course I ran there to break it up before anyone could get killed. They've almost killed each other before. So I found them, they were both really, really messed up. It was awful, and Ivar was still standing, he threw an ax at Dodger and even though Dodger got out of the way in time, I lunged forward, held my hands out, and there was a blue glowing sort of shape in the air between them, coming from my hands. Like a shield, you know how you have to hold them? But just. Coming from my hands.
[A pause, and he pulls a piece of raw cauliflower from the cup, is about to put it aside when he realizes the white flesh and florets are marbled with bright red, and that it's some sort of alien vegetable after all. Taking a curious bite, he chews a few times, and then finishes it, trying to gather his thoughts.]
After that, I turned to check up on Dodger, who looked a bit worse than Ivar, and my hands were glowing again. It didn't do a lot, but some of the bleeding stopped.
