Mun's been reading up on muse's profession

[agent_west]

 No, I have never tapped the phone lines of anyone in the Justice League. Honestly, why do you want to make me darker every time you read up on my job? Just because I work for the NSA doesn't mean I'm dark and moody. Hi, my Dad is the Flash. I can do serious, I can't do dark. It's really not in me. I bounce back from things, I hang out with my team, I fight the bad guys. Maybe the reason you can't write an app for me is because you're too busy looking at 'the possibilities'.

Anyone we phone tap or monitor has to be a valid suspect in some way. And other than the Question, nobody is crazy enough for us to notice. Even then, he's harmless. Trust me. He babysat me once. How do you think I got onto this career path? Seriously, resume canon reviewing and quit trying to make my character so 'dark'.

...alright, so I did try and phone tap Uncle Bruce. Sue me. It was funny.

Wait, wait, wait - We let The Question babysit you? [ Holy crap.

Wait- he's getting distracted. ]

Hey, possibilities are fun. Just gotta make sure you nudge your mun to the right ones.

[agent_west]

Well, yes. I was six, and he was pretty cool. A little off, but a nice guy. We went dumpster diving together and watched the news and stuff.

...Dad, my mun is the queen of never following through. I'll be lucky if I ever get out of the headspace. I just hope work's holding up okay without me or some of the other Agents there. [He sighs.] Even if I don't like the directions my mun likes to take me in, the show had some pretty stark things planned. It's not like with you where you get to see your friends - I just sit here and hope things are okay.

I wish I had superpowers.

[sciencewhizard]

...Yeah, pretty cool. I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference.

S'why you gotta be persistent, like me. They'll follow through if you bother them enough.

And there're always games where you can get superpowers.

[agent_west]

He's a good guy. A bit off, but we made an epic couch fort to end all couch forts. He's actually pretty good with kids, although he didn't want to take on the twins after they got their superpowers. For that, you're gonna want Uncle Bruce. Or at the very least, somebody with a glare roughly that intense.

I think Mom would kill me if I were more like you. The twins are enough like you for her; a whole family of Wally Wests is too much for anyone to handle.

[ Snort. Okay, Batman dealing with the kids. That should be a lovely thing to see- seriously, he wants to see it one day. ]

No, she'll just kill me for being a corrupting influence. And you don't have to go full-out pushy like me. [ Throws an arm around Orin's shoulder. ] A little goes a long way.

Fair enough. My mundane's torn on whether my character should veer more towards "morally reprehensible nightmare fuel" or "morally dubious black comedy," as she puts it.

[agent_west]

Mine's leaning towards mine being 'hidden depths and possible morally reprehensible actions' or possible just 'villain protagonist via employment'.

[theonewhodied]

She thinks it would be funny if we could both be "villain protagonists," but I disagree. Because god is innocent!

[Knock it off, Naoi.]
