Having read your thing about Cobra on Carmen, I think the sentiment is frankly pretty mutual. Cobra is a really interesting case with Carmen because on one hand, she underestimates his capability to really be a viable threat — she's inclined to write him off as a complete idiot and just sort of humor him without actually believing he's competent enough to accomplish any sort of villainy. But that also results in her being kind of interested in him because he really does seem to understand her on a level a lot of other people don't, and so in that she has a tendency to see him as sort of a guy who might've been a henchman of hers if he were from her world. So from her perspective, their relationship sort of swings back and forth between her thinking he's a complete fucking idiot and she can't stand him as far as she can throw him, and her finding it hilarious to talk to him because he's fun to poke and also gets the need for jetpack hang-gliders like NO ONE ELSE.

And she's honestly a little unsure about the whole El Zorua thing (she's not one to let someone else take credit for what she does, even if that someone else is herself), but he's so mad about it that it's kind of funny as hell, and so she'll let it perpetuate for the time being.
