Yeah, about that episode/spoilers probably in comments

[retiredspeedster]

Yeah, I know, dude. This whole thing just feels... wrong.

And can you drop the whole "my powers are killing me when I use them" speculation of yours? Just because it was true in that other universe doesn't mean it's happening here.

Mine is stuck on that one, too. I'll... not accept that until there's actual evidence.

And I'm sorry. I'll try to set it right again.

[retiredspeedster]

Mine seems to think it'd explain some of my frustration with things. [Having to sit out while everything you care about falls apart because of your own body? Yeah, there's some guilt in that idea.]

... I know.

[best_dad_ever]

If only the world could be quite so lucky.

[peckish4action]

Yeah. I mean... nobody thinks you'd just up and leave the team, and there hasn't been a reason stated. But... ugh. I hope even if that's the reason, it gets resolved. I really damn well hope.

You know that I know that your coming to yell at me means you haven't given up on me, right? Just... in case. That's what friends are for, pointing each other's mistakes out.

[retiredspeedster]

Even if I did just leave, how could I be sitting out now? And my mun even has an idea on how I could be fixed if it is the power thing. [An idea that he thinks is a a very bad one.]

Best friends disagree sometimes, right? We'll work it out. Eventually. We have to.

[retiredspeedster]

[Just this face Sportsmaster.]

Shouldn't you be off somewhere plotting revenge because you got disrespected?

[best_dad_ever]

[It should have been you, instead, Speedster.]

Manta's family will get his, and quite painfully. I should do the same to you.

[peckish4action]

... mine suggests we wait and see. It'll all probably get explained and resolved. And if not... then we'll figure it out. Or something. All right?

Yes. Best friends disagree, and that's okay. It's gonna be okay.

[retiredspeedster]

... Right. But you know how much I hate waiting.

[retiredspeedster]

[He'd probably agree with that.]

I'm sure she'd be touched if she knew just how much you cared.

[best_dad_ever]

[Pffft. Care, yeah right. Real men don't care. Not all. Nope, not in the least. Totally not using anger because it's an easier emotion to handle than grief. Nope.]

She knew the way this game plays out. If she had been on our side of things, she'd still be alive.

*blink. Blink. Annnd slow smile.*

Wally? Don't ever, ever change, all right?

[retiredspeedster]

[And he can't help but return that smile with one of his own.]

I don't plan to. I mean, why would I want to mess with perfection?

[peckish4action]

I know I wouldn't. *but Wally's the one that gets an elbow-nudge this time.*
