"I see." she replied, nodding a bit.

“You said that already.” she chuckled a little as she looked back at the other heroine. “Sorry if I'm rambling about this.” she apologized, knowing that a lot of people, heroes especially, didn't like it when she accidentally made them feel… less intelligent than they were.

"Ah sorry!" she blushed faintly, embarrassed. "I just meant, like, I get not getting around to all of the projects you had planned, I guess."

“It’s ok, Rook. It's no big deal.” she assured her. “But I’m glad you can understand that problem.” she smiled softly.

Raven nodded a bit, looking at her with a soft smile.

Jade smiled back as she sat down on the couch and finished rolling up her blueprints.

Raven was quiet, looking around.

Jade looked up at Raven and smiled a little, feeling a little awkward with the silence.

Raven smiled back.

“So…” she chuckled a little.

She raised her eyebrows a little. "So…what?"

Jade chuckled a little with a shrug. “I can't think of anything.” she admitted.

She laughed. "I get it."

“Oh! Have you made any progress with that gang situation you told me about?” she asked, remembering their last conversation when the gangs were teaming up during the prison break.

"Oh yeah! Yes, I have. It's gone pretty well."

"That's good to hear." she smiled at her colleague.

She nodded. "What about you? Any developments?"

"No, nothing really." she admitted with a shrug. Jade briefly considered mentioning the cold case she and Killian were working on… but decided against it. She had been told all that information in confidence and she had no intention of breaking it.

Raven nodded. "I get it."

Jade looked back up at Raven and gave a brief small smile. "I'm not going to lie but it gets kind of annoying when stuff doesn't happen. Which is why I try to stay busy with these little projects."

"Yeah, I get that. What other projects are you working on?"

"Mostly just this one at the moment. I'm struggling with the propulsion system and how to maneuver it." she told her. "I obviously don't want to use combustion since it's too volatile but hydraulics don't seem like they'd work either and sonic is… almost more of a weapon than a realistic option." she explained.

She nodded a little. "I…don't understand much of that, but…good luck?"

Jade blinked for a moment and laughed when she realized how she phrased her dilemma. “Sorry. I… I just got caught up with the technical part.” she smiled. “Sorry.”

She laughed again. "Yeah, no problem. I'm an architect, in uh, normal life, so I don't quite speak the same sort of technical jargon."

“Ah!” she smiled, nodding a little. “Well, that's an admirable profession. I bet you have your jargon as well then.” she said interested, though she understood that she probably wouldn't understand much of it either.

"Yes, i do, and i won't bore you with it. Don't worry."

“It’s alright. I don't think it bore me, but it would take me a while to understand it.” she assured her.

She nodded a little. "Still." she smiled a little.

“Fair enough.” she chuckled.
