CHARACTERS: Felicity Smoak and You!
LOCATIONS: Various places around town
WARNINGS: None!
SUMMARY: Open starters; Plus a few closed starters that I owe in the comments
[ It's a little hard for Felicity to wrap her head around the idea that there don't seem to be any tech giants in this city. Maybe that makes sense given all the magic that the city has access to in the form of energy. But that said, there's OkCuddle, and their phones exist for a reason.
Maybe that means she should be pitching ideas to Cadelle itself, or starting her own brand of iPhones. Part of her has always dreamed of being able to make something that could make the lives better.
The other part of her though, is still a little reluctant to work with authority.
So.
Non-governmental work it is. At least for now. Which means she needs to start looking.
Felicity's job search takes her all around the city. She's not looking for interviews, but rather trying to get the vibe of places that are currently looking for help — especially all the places she didn't get to visit on her scavenger hunt. Of course she has to visit Deja Brew first. Given how much she loves coffee, Felicity's spent her fair share of time imagining herself as a barista.
But she also tries the public library and the museum of art. Two institutions she can get behind, and to which she thinks she could offer a major upgrade for their websites and ways to track their collections. Going to the Best Friends Rescue was a terrible idea though, because once she's there, it's so hard to leave without adopting one of the dogs or cats there. Felicity makes her final stop at the university. It's the only place with people who might actually challenge her technical skills, and she can't help but wander the halls of the computer science department, poking her head into offices just to see who's there, and what they teach. ]

Maybe ... just a little? [ She brings her thumb and index finger together so they're barely an inch apart, as she bites her lip. ]
It's normal, back home, for people to say they're you. But not like- that they're trying to impersonate you. They're just ... fans, and no one ever assumes it's actually Captain America. [ Because back in her home, that's ... actually not possible. He's not supposed to be real.
Then, in a tentative voice and an expression that only looking for forgiveness: ] So I might have been keeping my expectations low, on the chance that you ... weren't you. [ A beat. ] Can I ... still come in? Or ... if you want me to go, I ... that's okay too.

By a little you mean a lot.
[ He smiles. It's alright. He's not sure he's never met anyone just trying to say they're him. Not because he would get offended, but mostly because back when he worked with SHIELD they got touchy about that stuff. They monitored a lot. Steve would say a little too much. ]
It's just Steve these days. I uh--hung up my shield.
[ It's partially correct. More like laid down, but that's a long story. ]
Come in. It's totally okay.
[ He steps back to let her in. ]
