Today's episode....

[ditchedtheherogame]

So I guess the new kid is staying? We'll see how this goes. [He's not sure what to make of his cousin from the future.]

And no, I didn't find anything funny about about me "needing" help. Nor am I jealous that he's faster than me.

Comments

[leftthenest]

Hey, you ended up saving the day in the end. It was mutual "needing help."

[ditchedtheherogame]

[That doesn't make what happened any less humiliating.]

Dude, I'm just glad that everything worked out.

[leftthenest]

Same. That was a close one.

[S-sob you're not allowed to get blown up without me, bro.]

[ditchedtheherogame]

You're telling me. So, what do you make of Bart? He seems like a handful.

[Don't worry, bro. That's our thing and doing it without you wouldn't feel right.]

[leftthenest]

I think he has good intentions. But he's definitely holding back. Who "vacations" in time, worries about messing up space-time but then fundamentally changes something that probably would've gone way the other way?

I'll be keeping an eye on him, but I don't think he means harm. He's related to you guys, after all.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Don't remind me. [The part about being related, that is.]

Despite everything, he does seem like he'd be a good addition to the team.

[leftthenest]

Sorry.

He would be. He'll definitely need training. A lot of training.

[ditchedtheherogame]

He seemed pretty fast to me. [Yeah, that might have come out a little bitter. Not that he's bothered by that fact or anything.]

[leftthenest]

[He knows you are, Wally. You'll still be his favorite speedster ever. ;;]

Speed isn't everything. He doesn't know how to work with a team or take orders. Without that training, he might do more harm than good in the long run.

[ditchedtheherogame]

[Even if he's the slowest speedster ever?]

Sounds like a job for you, Mr. Team Leader.

[leftthenest]

[Yes. Bros for life.]

[Is that a sigh? Yeah, he's sighing] Training a speedster is going to be...interesting.

[ditchedtheherogame]

[And not just any speedster, but Bart Allen. Have fun, bro.]

Well, it's not like you don't have any experience around them. I'm sure you'll be fine. If not, you can always call Barry.

[leftthenest]

[S-sob but you'll help, right, Wally?]

Yeah, but training with you and training Impulse is going to be very, very different. And I can't keep kicking him in the head like that.

I'm kidding-- I'm sure it won't be that bad. But, yeah, I might put the Flash on speed dial, just in case.

[ditchedtheherogame]

[There's a reason he said to call Barry. No help here.]

Dude, you kicked him in the head?

[leftthenest]

[Well fine. When you have to babysit Lian, though, you're so on your own.]

He wouldn't stop running around.

[ditchedtheherogame]

[That's Artemis' job. Even Roy agrees with that.]

I wish I could have been there. [Not that he wants to see Bart kicked in the head, but just watching Dick and company chase him around.]

[leftthenest]

[Okay but when she hides really well during hide-and-seek and you need a detective, you'll wish you'd called him]

So you could help or so you could watch us run around the Cave like idiots?

[He can guess which one.]

[ditchedtheherogame]

[Okay...he'll help with Bart. Only because Cheshire scares him.]

A little of both? [Mostly the latter.]

[leftthenest]

[See, it's for the good of all.]

Meaning you'd watch us run around like idiots for awhile and then help us.

Though for a kid who somehow knows my secret identity, he really doesn't know anything about me or the way I do things.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Pretty much.

And you can't really blame him. You Bat people are sneaky. [Speedsters, not so much.]

[leftthenest]

Being "sneaky" is part of the job description. Not all of us can wear bright yellow spandex and charge in headfirst.

[ditchedtheherogame]

Nor can any of you make yellow spandex look this good.

I might be getting a little too old to be Kid Flash, though.

[Not like the people in even Central City know his alias. Seriously. Calling him Speedy in the city that he's protected for 5+ years? Guy gets no respect.]

[leftthenest]

Can anyone make yellow spandex look good?

Thinking of changing it to Flash Man?

[Such is the life of Wally West.]

[ditchedtheherogame]

I'm going to assume you mean besides me. And no, it's one of my many unique talents.

Dude, you were a lot funnier at thirteen. Guess being a Bat for so long has ruined your sense of humor.

[It's a complicated life, Dick. You wouldn't understand.]

[leftthenest]

Assume what you want, Wally.

Nah, I loaned my sense of humor out to Batgirl and she hasn't given it back yet.
