"It is, it's all fine." Clarity shook her head. "Nothing to report. Someone else can talk about their life. Mine's not all that interesting.."

"No, not until you answer that question seriously. You live on a time traveling space ship how can you not have something to talk about?" Iris demanded.

"I just... I don't..." Clarity shook her head fingers clutching at her dresses hem. "There's nothing to say. Really,"

"I don't believe you." Iris leaned back in her chair sipping her champagne eyes never leaving Clarity.

"Oh my god, what do you want me to say Iris? My love life is abysmal. I don't even wanna talk about it, one date and it's like my hearts torn from my chest. I helped raise the goddamn dead. Damien Dharks galavanting through time with his grown up daughter. A guy who I'm friends with just threw his kid at me and got arrested for the death of my ex fiancé and countless other agents when really it should've been me arrested. Really he should be taking care of his own kid, I'm not his mother. I don't know how to parent. The one kid I did have was from an alternate reality. I only heard stories about her then I met her for two seconds and she erased from existence in my arms and she's probably going to be the only kid I ever have cause I can't get pregnant anymore. And do not even get me started on my powers." Clarity put her hands to her temples. "And my moms still in a freaking coma. So there you go, that's my life."

"What do you mean you can't get pregnant?" Felicity asked. "Have you been trying to?"

"What? No. But when your period doesn't show for months you tend to do some investigating. Gideon wasn't able to tell exactly what thawne did to me, I barely remember myself, but whatever happened it-it isn't good. It's why I was so torn up over Elicia. She's probably the only kid I'm ever gonna have that's like made from me. I'm sorry, I know none of that was happy news, my life...my life just isn't going too good right now. That's why I didn't want to say anything. I didn't want to ruin your party..I should've stayed on the ship. I'll just go-oh." Clarity froze as a man approached their table.

"Uh, did you girls order a stripper? Clarity stay, looks like the night is saved." Iris grinned.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Felicity looked to the other women. "I would've brought all my singles."

"No, I..." Cecile protested the man approached.

"Girl, you into some freaky stuff." Felicity noted.

"Don't look at me. I didn't hire him. I would've requested a blonde." Clarity defended herself.

"Amunet wants you." The man told Caitlin.

"Ew, is that what you call it?" Clarity pointed to guys crotch. "That's not a turn on. Talking about yourself, even an appendage, in the third person is so not hot. Majorly turned off man. Where'd this guy learn his stripper etiquette?"

"Uh, Caitlin, do you know him?" Iris asked the other woman.

"You need to come with me." The man looked at Caitlin.

"I'm not going anywhere with you." Caitlin denied.

"Is this guy Roleplaying?" Clarity wondered.

"Please tell me that this is just part of his act." Cecile pleaded.

"If it is, it's taking too long." Felicity replied.

"Rape and kidnap fantasies are disgusting, dude we're not paying for this." Clarity protested. "Take your fetish elsewhere. Okay, we want a refund like now."

"No, Clarity it's fine. Alright, dude clean up your act. Enough with the foreplay." Felicity snapped her fingers at him. "Take it off!"

The man leaned forwards and his eye dropped into Felicity's glass of champagne. "Gross! I meant take off your pants, not your eye!"
