Listen, even if Ray doesn't admit it, he's spent a lot of time imagining what it would be like to be a real superhero. Not like Oliver, who came back to Starling with a dark reckoning to be carried out — but more like ... more like ... Superman. And yeah, he's read the comics, and yeah, Ray kinda wishes he was real, but the practical side of him knows that what's fiction is fiction.

Not that one day in his future, Ray would ever meet Supergirl or someone like that.

Still, it means that in situations like this, he's got the right lingo, okay?

"Wait, did you just say that in five seconds, they're gonna go-" And then those five seconds are up, and the woman is clearly doing something, and just like she said, the monsters go flying and Ray changes his propulsion and gets into position. This time, instead of throwing out blasts, he just keeps his energy weapon on, like one continuous beam, and Ray uses his arm to guide it from one monster to the next.

He can't do that all the time. It would drain his power source faster than it could regenerate, but for this three-in-a-row setup? Yeah that was worth it. And for the first time since he got here, they get a breather.
