So....how about that new trailer, Artemis?

[crockblocking]

 So how about we don't talk about it instead? Because I like that idea much better. If you really want to make me feel better or whatever, you can start by cutting it out with the screeching. It's annoying.

We both know that if I really want something, I won't stop until I get it. Plus, you're still much slower than I am.

[Yes, let's avoid that road for as long as possible. Like forever. Or until the show comes off hiatus.]

[crockblocking]

Yeah, I can safely say I know from experience.

So, basically, using your powers against me is your plan, right?

[wallysworld]

Using the powers is more of a last resort. You know, just in case you're able to resist my attempts to persuade you to change your mind. I really doubt it gets that far since I can be very persuasive.

[crockblocking]

You're not the only persuasive one here.

[Too bad she can't persuade him to do his own work. Or stop waiting until the last minute.]

[wallysworld]

Oh, I'm well aware of how persuasive you can be, but I also know that you have certain weaknesses too.

[Waiting until the last minute to do things is in the speedsters rulebook. As is always being late.]

[crockblocking]

Heh. Good to know that neither of us really has a problem with exploiting each other's weaknesses.

[wallysworld]

What kind of superheroes would we be if we didn't use every advantage at our disposal to get the upper hand?

[crockblocking]

Point. Except, in superheroing, we're using that for the greater good. Not exactly sure what it's for outside that.

[wallysworld]

I can't speak for you, but in this case, I was thinking it's in the name of fun.

[crockblocking]

Oh, right. Fun.

[And mun decided not to dwell on what kind of fun they could be referring to.]

[wallysworld]

You know, I could always show you just how much fun it could be if you need a reminder.

[No, you can't, Wally. He's never going to be allowed out again after this.]

[crockblocking]

I always did like demonstrations better.

[Artemis why would you encourage this what is wrong with you?]

[wallysworld]

[Okay, that wasn't exactly what he was expecting as his instant blush shows. But he can't back down now and leans in until their faces are just inches apart.]

Don't tempt me, Crock. Not unless you're prepared to handle an all out assault. [He really has no idea where he's going with this.]

[crockblocking]

[Good. Stand your ground, Wally. And don't mind Artemis putting up a cool front by crossing her arms when, in reality, she's really all KJHGFJHGKJHS on the inside.]

After what went down around New Years, I think I can handle anything.

[wallysworld]

[But Wally does mind that you're playing it cool, Artemis. So he'll start to gently run his hands up and down her sides, fingers slightly vibrating to add effect to the movement.]

Anything, huh? Are you sure about that?

[crockblocking]

[Wow. Way to make her feel all tingly and nearly break, you cheater.]

Positive, actually.

[wallysworld]

[Just nearly? Guess he better step up his game or at least vibrate his fingers a little faster. And he doesn't recall any discussions about rules.]

Then I guess there's absolutely no chance that I could overwhelm you, is there?

[crockblocking]

[Since there apparently aren't any rules, she'll uncross her arms and grab his hands now because that's almost too tingly.]

Not at all.

[wallysworld]

[But he was having fun making you tingly, even if it was a bit much.]

That doesn't mean I still can't try, does it?

[crockblocking]

Oh, yeah. You're free to try. Or keep trying, anyway.

[wallysworld]

Good. And who knows? Maybe someday I'll just prove you wrong.

[crockblocking]

I'd really like to see that day come.

[wallysworld]

Is that so? Guess I'll just have to make it happen since I'd really hate to disappoint you, Artemis.

[crockblocking]

Guess so, though, from the looks of things, you rarely disappoint me, anyway.

[Her turn to be mildly sappy.]

[wallysworld]

I wouldn't be much of a boyfriend if I did. Besides, you deserve nothing but the best.
