dear_mun | On being canon updated at a, uh, really interesting time.

[And she gives a sort of sad smile in return; part of her really does feel bad. But...he wasn't there. Wally was.]

Because of...Artemis, right?

That and you know it's only a matter of time before everyone else gets updated, right? Sounds like KF is already planning on doing some sort of update.

[Brings a hand to his mask.] The team needs stuff to bring it together, not pull it apart.

But why does something like this have to pull you all apart?

I mean...look and M'gann and Conner.

And you saw how Artemis reacted to that. [Grins again. It's hard to tell how much he's kidding and how much he's being serious.] Not to mention, I'll probably want to throttle Wally. Already feel like it.

Yeah, I did. I also noticed it wasn't the end of everything. We only blew up one kitchen. And it was totally justified.

...don't throttle Wally, please. It was sort of my fault, really; you know how he always flirts with every girl he sees. I just...sorta called his bluff.

No promises, but since it's y----yeah, no self, saying things like that doesn't help

In this case, probably not

In the words of Artemis; this really sucks.

But hey, you should ask Wally about the time he considered becoming a sorcerer. Because he thinks magic rocks so much.

[Sorry, Wally. But this is a prime trolling opportunity and you have it coming.]

Seriously? Mr. Science?

You're joking.

Seriously. If your skills didn't make theirs so lame, I bet he'd ask you out to a magic show on a date.

Flatterer.

I'm pretty sure he still doesn't think my magic's real. I tried to show him some card tricks, and then we...er...

[Oh. Bad idea. Change subject, change subject!]

...let's just say he tries to find an "explanation" for pretty much everything I've shown him.

Sounds like the two of you have been having fun with that.

[Don'tsayyesDon'tsayyes...]

Call it a healthy, ongoing debate.

One that he's so going to lose.

Science or no science, you can't ignore what's in front of your face. In fact, it'd be unscientific if you did.

[And that's how they got into this whole mess in the first place]

Tell that to him.

Water manipulation? A sudden "gust of wind" at just the right moment.

[So they made out in the name of science?[

KF is as stubborn as he is fast. But I think even he is starting to accept that it's legit.

[It was an "experiment". Sort of.]

I kinda hope so.

The whole "logical skeptic" routine gets old after a while. I've only got so many rabbits and so many hats, y'know.

You should pull him out of your hat one of these days. [If nothing else, the look on his face would be priceless.]

That would be pretty funny.

[You. Stop giving her ideas. Now.]

I can do some magic tricks too, but they're just that; tricks.

[Growing up in a circus, you know he had to have learned some.

And never.]

I could always learn more of those for performances. Dad and I try to keep things as legitimate as we can when it comes to paying customers.

Not to mention, I do enjoy a challenge.

[And stop this bonding thing, too. She's supposed to be over you.]

You could say that I'm a fan of performances.

[Grins.] Oh yeah? Want to see one in action?

[Team bonding is critical! And he just wants to show her a magic trick. That's all. No other reason. Nope.]

Considering your flare for the dramatic, that's not surprising.

Sure. Show me what you've got, Boy Wonder.

[Of course not. What other reason could there possibly be?]

[Wiggles his fingers for a moment, before he reaches behind her ear and reveals a quarter.]

Tada. What do you think? Do I have enough magical moves to make it as a magician?

[A career in magic, in case this whole dynamic duo thing doesn't work out.]
