on missing teammates

[datglass]

Aye, aye. Life's just no cracker here when it's just me and Cold; Piper and Trickster and the Boomerang lad cannae count as real Rogues if they refuse t'act like real Rogues. Or call themselves Rogues! Those two of course may as well be superballs for how often they bounce back and forth 'tween sides. I'm talking about the ones that willnae bust my head open like Cold will if I only so much as--

Ah... well...

Point is I'd like more excitement, go my dinger and all rather than feel like I'm bein' babysat. I miss them too, know? Rather have a drink and cards with the group than just Captain Cold. Just 'coz it's a pure drag being stuck with all the goodie expatriates. No Flash either to keep me -- or us -- entertained, aye, but a load of wee eggshells and mad whiny berks to deal with.

I'm the one who got the bloody short straw here!

Whhhhhhhat's thematter? Lonelllllllybeing apieceofscum?

[datglass]

I'm in no mood for personal slights now, mind? But we're hurtin' for speedsters so badly I wouldnae turn even you away.

[racetimecontinuum]

Hhhhhhheh.

Notjustaspeedster. Don't expect youuuu tounderstand.

[datglass]

Dain't think I want to, either. [ WEIRDO. ] Yer real good at rummling us much quicker.

[snidepiper]

You don't like my company?

And this whole time you were being so nice to me. I never knew.

[racetimecontinuum]

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhi.

[snidepiper]

.........oh god.

You don't need to come to the City. Wally's not even there.

[racetimecontinuum]

Filthy.

[datglass]

Aye, know I'm sitting nice only so long as I have to.

[snidepiper]

You know if he shows up we're going to have to get along better than this.

[datglass]

Haw, I made my offer. Hell slap it intae ya for pussying out on it.

[irreverently]

You guys don't seriously call yourselves "Rogues," do you?

From an AU where he was a founding member of the Teen Titans.

[arach_nerd]

They seriously call themselves Rogues. On the other hand, it's better than calling yourselves the Sinister Six.

[irreverently]

But they're both so... on-the-nose.

[arach_nerd]

Half these guys invented brilliant technology that could be patented and sold for insane amounts of cash. And then decided to go rob banks with it instead. Creativity isn't really their strong suit.

[datglass]

The Rogues, gent. That's us.

[irreverently]

The ~olden days~ were weird, huh.

[datglass]

So what's yer name, then?

[arach_nerd]

Eh, you may not like 'em, bu I respect them. For once, some crooks who actually figured out that responsibility came with their powers.

[datglass]

Aw. Yer right, ya wee midgie-suited choir boy, I think that's just what I've been waiting to hear my whole life.

[arach_nerd]

I'm optimistic, not stupid.

[datglass]

Ya don't know 'em like I do, lad.

[trickier]

You know, Mick has bounced a lot more than Piper and I have ever done and yet no one ever mentions that. [ UNFAIR ]

[datglass]

Mick's nae given me the same kind of trouble-- [ That's cleaner than how he wanted to say it. ] If he came round and wasted his time sittin' nice wae you lads I'd have much the same complaint. It's a wee uneven for a braw game of cops and robbers. Moot point now though, so it is.

[trickier]

[ Sigh. ] True, it is. I'm just saying.
