Voice Testing / Venting About Canon

[sciencewhizard]

You can keep giving me this whole deal about alternate universes all you want; I get it. It's scientifically possible, mun - I'm not gonna buy your "magical" little story about my world being some sort of fiction. Do you think that honestly makes me feel any better?

Yeah, it's really nice to know that there are other me's out there, running way past the speed of sound. Here I am stuck just below a sonic boom.

And what's with Bart bringing up my lack of Allen genes, huh?

And don't even get me started on that mission Artie had at Cape Canaveral. I already know your heart can't take many more surprises like that.

... oh, right, different realities.

I, ah, tend to take care of Bludhaven, where I am. Batman's got Gotham. Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Batwoman, Oracle... he calls for help if he needs it, but it got a bit crowded for me, and nearby Bludhaven needed some attention, too. You know, our kind of attention. That's what I meant when I said I'd be having less work, but I'd be getting more heavy hitters. The kind of heavy hitters that go after Batman.

Although they are learning, I guess.


ooc: HAH. I might. I don't always poke at memes for the sake of actually getting game tags done, but when people link memes on plurk, I take a look. ... and Dick rolled 3 for the Wait, what? meme and I'm not sure I can brain that much crack.

[sciencewhizard]

A city all to yourself? Sounds nice, or it would, if I were still in the whole hero game...

[ Rubs the back of his neck. ]

[flyingg]

Pretty much. More or less. Most of the time. *sheepish* I should add that it's about half an hour away from Gotham, so it's not like I flew very far from the nest. Cave. But... *shrugs* Then in canon I moved to NYC, but we won't mention that, not really.

What.

[sciencewhizard]

--! Uh. No. Don't worry about it.

[ He's a little red in the face and looking off to the side. ]


Does Bats still hover like a mother hen?

( ooc; I forgot that you still need to catch up with YJ. I'm so sorry for that. /)_(\ )

[flyingg]

... Wally.

*lips twitch*

Sort of. He's a but busy and calls me in for backup when things go bad, too. Though I much prefer that than... radio silence.


OOC: Oh, yeah. I was going to start poking at the series, but a favorite author's newest book ARC came out, and I am like... WHY CAN'T I DO THREE THINGS AT THE EXACT SAME TIME?

[sciencewhizard]

[ He's just going to miserably attempt acting serious to throw the spotlight off of himself for that remark. ]

Is that new Robin doing a good job of helping Bats out?

[flyingg]

*he is still looking at you, old fried.

Even if his face softens a bit.*

He's good. And probably smarter than me, though it'll take a bit for him to come into his own.

[sciencewhizard]

Well, I guess they all can't be "wonderful" like you.

[ He tries to smirk, but he's noticed that look and ends up sinking deep into his seat. ]

What...?

[flyingg]

*innocently* My best talents lie elsewhere.

Wally, the way she's *thumb over shoulder* started, I'll know anyway in probably a few days. You don't have to hush it up, whatever it is.

[sciencewhizard]

My guy's probably gonna kill me for saying it...

[ Sigh. ]

But if I can't tell my bro-from-another-universe... [ Works up a small grin. ]

I've given up the hero thing. For the most part.

[flyingg]

*oh. That...*

Where I am from, you had to for a while, too. It was killing you, a little bit every time you used your ability.

It's... that 'for the most part' that proves that you didn't become somebody else, you know.

[sciencewhizard]

Kill- What?

[ Now he's confused. ] Huh... there was some other version of me mentioning stuff called... the Speed Force?

My mun seems to know about it, but it's all news to me.

[flyingg]

It got worked around, and I can see that's not the case with you, so you don't need to worry about it. I'm pretty sure that if you need to know about any of it, you'll find out. Or something.

Still, I wanted you to know that it's not more of news than I can handle, 'kay? It's not a choice that I can stick to, but I'm not going to point fingers or judge those who have.

*not after having one brother killed then brought back again wrong, and seeing... technically two of the people he's gone out on patrol every night with spines severed by bullets. He can't judge anyone for choosing another life.*

[sciencewhizard]

But don't you ever worry that the cowl'll eat you alive or something?

[ We're still not sure why he's up and left the hero thing, but it was probably something nerve-rattling. ]

[flyingg]

... you mean it already hasn't? *a beat, and then his eyes crinkle* No, really, it's... difficult to consider myself committing to anything else. Silly, huh?

*of course. Oh, well, Dick can hope that it's something more benign*

[sciencewhizard]

[ Snort. ]

Olympic gymnastics, or something?

[ No... he really can't imagine Dick doing anything else either.

[flyingg]

*face-scrunch* I think I'm a bit old to start now? Maybe coaching.

*okay, he's done athletics, especially trapeze, training as a day job before. But... as a day job.*

[sciencewhizard]

[ Reaches up tentatively to squish Dick's cheeks. ]

Never too old. ... Well. Maybe. But hey! I've been looking to add acrobatics to my already amazing repertoire. [ Griiiiin. ]

You should teach me one day.

[flyingg]

*eyebrows up, eyes brighter with the grin*

Yeah? Look at all the time we could have used to this purpose already...

*here, Wally. Have a surprise hair-ruffle*

[sciencewhizard]

[ bgt4iieneognego He flails like crazy. ]

[flyingg]

*smirkity smirks* See, there we go.
