Captain Sara Lance can't answer her phone right now, and if you leave a message I can't promise I'll get back to you, either.

Feel free to leave one anyway.

Sara, I demand to know whether you have been honest with me or you are lying. Are we only friends because you falsely believe me to be human and happy to be so?

[captaincanary]

Whoa, where did this come from?

Proto, we're friends because I like you as you are. Whatever that is. You're clearly not human. I thought we had that figured out?

You're stuck in a human body, but there's still code in there. Something like that. Once anyone goes into computer coding speak it's a little harder for me to follow.

[red_song]

One of my other humans was no happy for me. He was upset that I was happy to discover that I still have my code origin. Told me I should not follow Tech Boy, and said that I should be happy to be human.

He only likes me because I'm human.

[captaincanary]

I don't know Tech Boy, but as long as he was honest with you, and isn't hurting you in anyway, you can follow whoever you like.

And what makes you happy makes you happy. Tell this friend he can go screw himself if he can't be happy for you.

[red_song]

[Sara, Proto has already DONE THAT.]

He got mad at me for being upset. For being hurt over what he said. It said all these things about caring about me, but he stopped caring once he understood I wasn't going ot be happy with this form.

[captaincanary]

Got mad at you? Like yelled at you?

You have every right to be mad if he invalidated you.

Who is this guy?

[red_song]

Steve Rogers. He thinks this curse isn't a terrible thing. He likes me for my humanity. I do not wish to be human!

He was supposed to be my friend.

[captaincanary]

Don't know him, and while it's hard for a human to understand what you're going through, he still shouldn't push humanity on you.

I'm sure he's still your friend, or thinks he is, but friends fight and have problems sometimes.

[red_song]

Why wasn't he happy for me?

[captaincanary]

Other than he's a jerk? That's something you would have to ask him.

[Or Sara can pound it out of him. Whichever.]

[red_song]

I asked. He wasn't very helpful.

[Oh he's sad, so damn sad.]

[captaincanary]

[Oh, that's it.]

Where can I find this guy?

[red_song]

[Proto wilts. He doesn't know, and he doesn't know that he should let one human fight his battles for him.]

I do not know.

[captaincanary]

[Defending isn't the same as fighting for him, she feels.]

That's okay. I can probably find him.

If you really want to know from him, though, why he's not happy, you'll have to ask again. Just in a different way, if the last time didn't answer that.

[red_song]

I don't think I wish to ask him. He was unkind.

[captaincanary]

You sure you don't know where he is?

[red_song]

I do not know.

[Which is true. He cannot know where he is at this second.]

[captaincanary]

Can you tell me what he looks like?

[It's okay. She'll ask around.]

[red_song]

Sara, something in your questioning brings me to believe that you are attempting to put yourself into a position to come to harm on my behalf, or to cause harm on my behalf.

I am not certain that is the most logical decision to make.

[captaincanary]

I won't be harmed. The other person? Yes, will be.

This isn't about logic. It's about settling the problem and letting them know I'm displeased because this Steve hurt my friend.

[red_song]

Are all humans like this?

[captaincanary]

Violent like me? Or selfish like your friend?

[red_song]

Driven firstly by emotions and therefore highly illogical.

[captaincanary]

[There's a slight chuckle.]

Not all humans are the same. I'm guessing you want me to not hurt this guy?

[red_song]

I do not believe you can.
