Evening [1600 - 2200] — Citizen Improvement
All Alpha citizens are encouraged to better themselves through Alpha’s wide variety of educational, entertainment and cultural opportunities offered each evening. Attending these sanctioned events are not mandatory, but is highly encouraged by The Computer. Citizens choosing not to take advantage of these opportunities, have a growing number of other options available to them in how to spend their hard earned credits and free time.

Tonight’s event will be at 1900 in the Commissary and will be hosted by the Amateaur Dramatics Group. You're invited to come see the one woman show that Mind Control called too "boring" to put on early morning television.

Specials Event - All Specials with knowledge of Specials HQ have been invited to a surprise party to celebrate wanted fugitive, Dick Grayson's, seventeenth birthday.

Alpha Curfew Restrictions
All Alpha citizens should be in their quarters within the Wagon Wheel by 2200, unless they’ve been given permission from a GREEN or higher clearance level citizen. Sleeping Aid gas is dispelled each night in the Wagon Wheel at 2200 to assist citizens in getting a productive sleeping period.

Confession Booths
There are hundreds of confession booths available around Alpha Complex if a citizen would like to communicate directly with the computer. Please use these confession booths to report mission statuses, report treason or terrorist acts, unregistered mutants, confess your trespasses against Alpha Complex, request propaganda or speak with Your Friend, The Computer, at any time.

When her arms wrap themselves around his shoulders he feels as if the strings holding him up have been suddenly cut. His own arms wrap themselves around her for support as he leans into her, holding her tight.

He doesn't bother fighting back the wave of grief that washes over him for the hundreth time. This time he lets it carry him away, using Felicity and her words as an anchor. It's a long moment before he can fight back the lump in his throat.

"It was my fault." He lets out a deep breath before pulling back, his eyes wet. "Every one I love, I lose. I can't win."

She can handle it — his weight and his burden, if he wants to put any of it on her so she can share the load. Right now, today, Felicity can handle it.

Barry doesn’t talk for a long moment and she doesn’t try to pull back or move. At most, she rubs her palm gently up and down a little part of Barry’s back, to let him know that she’s here and that she’s got him, and that she isn’t going anywhere. But when he finally pulls back and she sees the moisture in his eyes, her lips curl downwards into an empathetic frown.

“Hey,” she finally says, after lowering one of her hands onto his arm for a comforting squeeze. “It’s not about winning, right? It’s about doing everything you can- everything we can, to keep as many people as possible safe. You’ve saved so many people Barry. I’m sure- I’m sure Mr. Allen wouldn’t want you to forget that.”
