You know, me and you, we gotta have a little talk.

This whole "teasing me and acting like you're going to take me somewhere" is seriously not working for me anymore. You can only break a guy's heart so many times.

And I'm not going to be waiting by the phone, waiting for the call that'll never come. I'd like to think I'm pretty optimistic, but how about you just let it go and we'll call it a day. Or a lifetime.

This whole situation? So y2k.

Y2K? Really?

[statics]

Got an issue with y2k?

[backwordscompatible]

Aside from the fact that I was barely old enough to remember when it happened...

...wait, is this a serious question?

[statics]

Nah, I'm yanking your chain.

Though, reminding me of my age. 2000 was last year for me. You can see why I'm feeling a little old right now.

[backwordscompatible]

If that's the case, you look good for your age.

[statics]

You know, I hear that a lot. You don't look too bad either, for a youngin.

[backwordscompatible]

I'm just going to pretend that was meant to be a compliment.

[statics]

I'm kidding. Girl, don't worry. You look great.

[notsosubtle]

Muns are the worst when it comes to that kind of thing. Mine's been doing that for a couple of months now. [Sigh.] I guess there are a lot of unanswered questions though.

[statics]

It's like, yo, I know they're indecisive and all, but this is getting ridiculous. Just flip a coin already!

[ a beat ]

Unanswered questions?

[notsosubtle]

Like how I joined the Team, what happened during those five years, and a lot of other stuff.

[statics]

Aw, man. The suspense must be awful, waiting to hear the answers to that. What team?

[notsosubtle]

It it, especially since things won't be starting up again until sometime in September! [not the most patient of people to begin with.]

The Team, Nightwing runs it and most of the League's proteges are on it.

[statics]

Nightwing? Who's Nightwing?

Wait, League? Like the Justice League?

[notsosubtle]

You... don't know who Nightwing is? Oh, wait. He likes to do the whole urban legend thing so I guess if you don't know anyone in the League, you probably don't know who he is.

[statics]

Hey, hey! I know people in the League! We are so tight, me and them. Me and Batman and Hawkgirl and Superman and everyone!

[consider8]

Ring ring.

[statics]

Y'ello?

[consider8]

This is the call you've been waiting for. I believe you were anticipating my arrival.

[statics]

God, is that you?

[consider8]

No. Please return your tribute to the nearest cabal and get your money back.

But thanks for the promotion. It's flattering, really.

[statics]

Hey, I do what I can. Superhero in all ways.

[consider8]

So now that you've heard from me, I must ask: what are you going to do next?

[put_it_in_gear]

You know I'm starting to wonder if maybe I just missed the memo around here. [Since where did all these Statics come from in the last few days?]

Dude, muns need to slack the leash every once in a while and you do your thing.

[hotstreak]

You should be glad your mun's not taking you anywhere. Some of those places look lame.
