redarrowqueenTeam Arrow had defeated Prometheus and had escaped Lian Yu.
But in the process the last few weeks had wrecked Thea enough that a simple summer cold had basically knocked her flat. Nothing serious thankfully, just a combo of stress and a summer cold messing her up all at once.
So she was basically stuck indoors on bed rest for a mere cold when she felt that now familiar chill that was Trunks's typical arrival. Little did she know it was a wild round of time travel phone tag since Felicity had called Ray who called Rip who called Trunks. Between coughing fits she calls from the sofa,"I know that chill anywhere!" as a nasty sneeze can be heard. But he would find her on the couch with enough tissues to stock a small army and looking as miserable as she sounded on the phone the prior night when she made it back to Star City.

Date: 2018-01-25 04:12 am (UTC)"I should probably worry about what she'd tell you, to tease me." Said while nuzzling Thea's forehead and followed with one more kiss. Along with a tighter hug, before getting to his feet.
Keeping one hand in hers though, and pulling her with him. "So let's start with the tour, and then we can end up back here for dinner and real resting."
Which meant out of the house, and while he's sure she saw some of it when she arrived, it was probably a bit of a blur. Once they were outside, it was clear the area they were in was large. At least as large as a giant athletic stadium, all topped with a green glass dome. Trunks' house was near a small river along a cobbled path at one end, while there were two other structures. One larger than either house, with a tree growing up and out towards the dome, to the point where it wasn't clear if the dome was open or not up top.
"This is the Time Nest, all of it, but that building there is the Time Vault. Don't go past the entry of it without permission, as it's really easy to mess up time without meaning to, and that's where the scrolls are all kept. That's also where Chronoa lives."
Despite the size, it was mostly open space--except for the other house, with a bunch of mechanical parts outside of it too. "That's a work shop, for now. We're trying to see if we can figure out a way to make time-machines without too much disruption to events. The Waverider is a special case, given Rip's working for Chronoa like I am, and is docked outside."
Following the paved path, as they headed out and through a large archway. Outside was a large space--almost like a giant platform. Paved and with a river running through the grounds, before spilling off to the side. Clear sky around, the view never quite consistent but always pleasant. There were hints of what would eventually become a more formal structure, but for now it was simply a raised platform with stairs and a giant hourglass above it. Bridges helped cross over the river, and there was lots of greenery and quite an Earth-Asian feel to things. There was at least one other large building with clear space in front of it. Also seen were some smaller buildings, including another domed-house.
"This is the main plaza, and where Rip lands the Waverider. There isn't really much here, yet, but I think Chronoa has plans for the future. Rip stays out here, to be closer to his ship. That building " Trunks pointed to the larger one "is a training arena."
Which kind of was really the basic tour of the Time Nest and plaza.

"I don't really interact much with the legends, although I heard they got sent recently on something I normally deal with. Kind of like how I was sent to deal with some of the stuff your way. Not sure how that went, although I think they were marveling at dino-burgers."
It was definitely interesting being outside--even just outside of the Nest. Hard to describe at the best of times, but it was it's own little world, with the scenery around them ever changing. "Like I said though, aside from the Time Vault's secure areas, you're free to go where you want here. Just don't go taking any time machines. Not that I think you would." A grin sent her way.

Date: 2018-06-07 05:28 am (UTC)That was the plan for that night; he'd like to take Thea out properly some time while she visited, but only if she was comfortable. For all that the senzu had helped her physically, mental and emotional wounds were tougher and he knew it.
Pausing just inside the doorway, bringing her hand up where it was still joined with his own, Trunks kissed her knuckles softly. "If you'd rather, there...is also a tv-set up in the bedroom. Even if you're feeling better physically, sometimes the rest of it still hits you hard--I speak from experience."
