just cuz yk like I'm having FEELINGS no biggie

she actually thinks it's adorable that he's so ... passionate and curious about literally everything and that he asks questions about her powers and what it's all like

but also at some point he's gonna hit this button (through no fault of his own, mind you ; it's not his fault she's got trauma and that certain things will hit her funny !!! I want to stress that, it's not his fault and he SHOULD keep being curious and asking her questions) that makes her go "you know I'm a person and not a fucking science project, right?"

again. entirely not his fault

it's not HIS fault, it's the fault of the scientists who kept her locked in a cell for a decade of her childhood, who put an implant in the brain of that little girl she used to be, who carved her open and then cut along those same scars to dig around in her insides, EVERY FUCKING LITTLE THING they thought they could do in order to intensify her powers and give her an advantage and make her into the weapon she never asked to be made into, who injected her with sedatives and euphorics and made her fight other little science projects until one of her escape attempts stuck

she WILL get over it, I promise, and she understands he's harmless. she understands he's not the scientists who hurt her. it just, at one point or another, will just hit this weird button in her brain, and it's probably gonna hurt his feelings, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO APOLOGIZE, JACK, BECAUSE YOU KNOW HIS CURIOSITY COMES FROM A GENUINE PLACE UNLIKE THE PEOPLE WHO USED THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO ABUSE AND EXPLOIT YOU

YOU KNOW HE'S NOT LIKE THEM. YOU KNOW YOU'RE A PERSON TO HIM. NOW APOLOGIZE AND BE NICE.

don't worry, she'll get there ! we'll build that trust up. <3

“... Jay? W-What’s... hah-happening—” She reaches out to him, for comfort. For safety. So he’ll save her from the confusing, loud, wet noises that won’t stop in her ears. He’s Jay Garrick, her hero. Her boyfriend that’s so nice about her need to take things slow. Her fingers go on his shoulders. He’s assured by how slow her movements are. Her pretty doe eyes are wide, but fluttery. Recognizing only him and nothing else. Nothing about what he’s putting inside of her, over and over. He can see himself in those eyes. His eyes are black, now. Zoom’s eyes. “My cock’s in you, Cait. Mm, fuck, my cock’s finally in you—” 

obviously one intro course isnt representative of the whole, but i cant help but think that some people who go into these fields are never taught who are actually at risk to themselves or others. i wasnt at risk when i was admitted, i was just autistic and didnt know how to answer their questions, and it led to me being admitted, given medication that triggered a life threatening reaction- which did nearly kill me, because the staff apparently didnt recognize the symptoms of this reaction, and kept giving me additional doses over the course of a few hours.

the entire situation was nightmarish, i was in and out of wards for months, and given meds that actively made things worse. i understand that some people may want to help, but no one should have that amount of control over another person.
