          “ Well, it’d be a shame to be late to the party. ”     party being the flustering of Barry.      “ So, if you don’t mind giving me a lift, I’d gladly take it. ”     granted she could use her ice to skate through the air, but even that would not be nearly as fast as flying with Kara.

          “ That is one of his main focuses these days. ”     she confirmed, despite knowing that the question wasn’t truly a question that needed an answer. Frost slide her hands into the pockets of her jacket and followed Kara’s lead, keeping a few steps behind.     “ Am curious how quickly you’ll distract him from it. ”     also curious of how quick it might be that annoyance will be directed at Frost for not giving a little warning of Kara’s personality shift.

As Kara gazed upon her fingernails, Frost turned her head too look at nothing in particular. Shifting her weight from one leg to the other, one hand still remained upon her hip.     “ Last I saw him, he was at STAR Labs. ”     she offered. Why was she going along with this? Her friends would surely scold her for enabling into whatever Kara was going through right now.

          “ Flirting? ”     she questioned.     “ With Barry? ”     arms uncrossed, one hand resting upon her hip.     “ You know Iris is --- ”     her words trailed and she immediately shrugged her shoulders.     “ Oh what the hell, sure. Just watching that drama unfold will be entertaining. ”

There was something, Different, about Kara. The way she was speaking. The way she was presenting, in both appearance and mannerisms. Very different. Very not Kara Danvers. Frost narrowed her eyes as she crossed her arms, head tilting a nudge to the side.     “ Oooh? ”     tone mocking, challenging.     “ What’s the rush? ”

          “ That’s fine. ”     she finally responded.     “ There’s plenty I’ve done I’m not proud of, but I don’t regret what I’ve done. ”     eyes narrowed slightly, questioning.     “ Do you regret the outcome that came from what you did? ”

          “ No argument from me. ”     she agrees as she pats his collarbone while moving past him. She turns on her heel and leans against the table, palms laid flat on the surface while she looks towards him.     “ So, to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit big guy? ”

          “ Easy now. ”     her light distorted tone cautioned, raised hands to display as such.      “ As much as this may surprise. I am here to help. ”

          “ Hmm... well. Sounds like what you could use is a strong drink. ”

          “ Possibly. ”     she answered without pause.     “ But not broken. ”

          “ You won’t catch me trying to change your mind. ”     her blue lips curled a tiny bit at the corners as she tilt her head a nudge.     “ Barry on the other hand-- ”     her voice teasing as she made notion to the fact of their resident speedster always being the one to want to save someone, even someone that likely didn’t deserve it.     “ We are all aware of how persuasive he can be. ”

          “ His problem, hm? ”     she questioned, brows arching with a rise of curiosity and amusement within her.      “ Does this mean we’re going to leave him hanging to dry then? ”

          “ Others do have a tendency to underestimate. ”     Frost watched with intrigue as Zatanna worked her magic. A smirk curling upon her blue lips as the man scampered away, taking the annoyance of screaming rambles with him. With a light laugh, Frost took seat on the concrete half wall. Crossing her legs and fiddling with the metahuman dampener bound upon her wrist, she nodded.     “ Would be my pleasure too. ”     the smirk upon her lips forming into a full smile.     “ You can play dirty with me anytime. Secrets safe with me. ”   she winked.
