See, mun? You had nothing to worry about. Everything's fine in Wally-land. And I know that you're bummed out about me not doing the whole hero thing anymore, but I had my reasons.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with getting an education and I'm sure that Nightwing's crew can handle everything without us.

[leftthenest]

Yeah, we've got it covered. But, seriously, Wally-land sounds like a theme park.

[Priorities!]

[ditchedtheherogame]

Dude, are you trying to get me into trouble? [Seriously, there's so many jokes he wants to make about theme parks and rides, but most of them would probably end up getting "Wally-land" shut down.]

So, how are the newbies holding up?

[leftthenest]

[Oh, he knows.]

[Grinning] Of course not. Besides, you probably get in trouble enough on your own.

So far, they're doing well. A lot of them are still pretty new at this, but at least they're enthusiastic and willing to learn.

[ditchedtheherogame]

[He grins back] Which is why I don't need your help. Though, I did manage to remember Valentine's day this time. [Totally a big deal, right?]

That's good to know and it doesn't hurt that they have one of the best around to teach them. [And Conner and M'gann, too. Well, when she's not mind blasting people, that is.]

[leftthenest]

I'm so proud. Please tell me you got her something and didn't just say that you're her present.

[Well. Yeah they're going to have to do something about that mind-blasting. Seriously, M'gann.]

Thanks, man. It's kind of nice to watch them grow, you know?

[master_of_the_game]

It's nice to actually be right about something.

[ditchedtheherogame]

I have a hard time believing that you're right about anything and I don't see why this time would be any different.

[master_of_the_game]

I knew some of you would qui. You were obvious, of course. As our last encounter proved, you're more quick-footed canon fodder, than a real fighter. You were easily the least useful out of all your team-mates. I also think your near-miss with little Queen Perdita proved you don't really have the necessary focus to be effective.

And Artemis? Well, what can I say? Her only real impetus to being a hero wasn't just because she wanted to help people. There were lots of ways to do that. It was to become the opposite of me. Would you want a hero in the team whose only real driving force was hating someone else?

[ditchedtheherogame]

Stop talking like you know anything about me.

And if they turned out to be half the person that she is, then I'd consider myself lucky that they were on the team.

[master_of_the_game]

I see you're also a master of counter-argument. We can add that to the list of your many, many skills. Though, I can see what she saw in you. It must be fun for her to constantly be around a man she knows she's mentally superior to.

[arach_nerd]

...that may not be the only reason for it, if they're going to bring in all of comic book you's reasons.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Dude, I know all about that. [He really hopes that it's not the case here, but we'll see.]

[likethecheshire]

And you even talked Artemis into following suit.

Not an easy task.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Yeah, she can be hard to convince at times, but I can be very persuasive when I need to be.

But honestly? She's driving this thing and I'm just trying not to screw it up.

[nodisintegrations]

I can think of a few people who'd say you getting an education makes you smarter than all the rest of us amigo.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Maybe, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss it at times. I have a lot of good memories doing that stuff. [He sighs.] And some that I'd like to forget.

[totallyhisniece]

My mun is very adamant that that ugly dog was all YOUR idea.

[ditchedtheherogame]

First off, the dog is not ugly. Secondly, I'll take full credit for getting such a wonderful pet.

Besides, it could be worse. We could of had a cat. [And we all know how fond of cats you were.]

[totallyhisniece]

Funny looking faces do have a way of growing on me. [Was that a compliment and an insult all at the same time? Chances are, yes! But seriously Wally college life has been good to you.]

Kind of interesting that we're the ones that made it and Conner and M'gann... not so much, don't you think?

[ditchedtheherogame]

Yeah, things have a weird way of working out. [Not that he's too surprised they've lasted this long, okay maybe a little, but who knew M'gann and Conner would've split? And then there's Roy and Kaldur...]

We've been really lucky so far.

[totallyhisniece]

Still, they worked out pretty okay. [It's good to know that not everything went terribly, terribly wrong. And let's not even bring up M'gann's crazy mind control thing.]

I'd bet money we keep working out okay. Five years is a long time, you must be doing something right.

[flyingg]

Better than other reasons you've had to quit. So long as things are going as they should.

... and she *thumb over shoulder* isn't even watching the series yet. This is just on general principle.

[ditchedtheherogame]

They still might come up. It's rather vague about why he quit right now.

Dude, things are going well. Really well, actually. I got everything a guy could ask for and more. [He just hopes it stays that way.]

[flyingg]

Hhhh. Dick just wants his bestie alive and well, okay?

*this is Dick trying to smile and wince at the same time* Well, I'm sure we'll try to keep things that way as long as possible and the writers will try to break them as soon as they're able to.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Don't we all.

I really don't want to think about that. Seriously, what's the problem with just letting people be happy? [Because that would be considered boring, Wally.]
