A Homeless Multiverse-Wrecking Speedster

[speedygoldenboy]

Trying to find a new world to throw me into seems a little cruel, don't you think? Then again, you like using me as your whipping boy for something I can barely remember.

If- If I knew how much of a mess my going back in time would have created, I wouldn't have done it. But she was my mother...

[ He sighs and crosses his arms lightly. ]

You've already reserved me at one place, I've noticed. Considering your options, it's not as bad as it could be for me. I don't know how keen I'd be on cuddling with strangers, though.

Barry, I'm afraid you aren't the only one who has an issue with "cuddling" with strangers.

[speedygoldenboy]

Don't tell me your mun's sending you there too?

[emeraldcrusader]

Okay. I won't tell you.

[speedygoldenboy]

That's not- [ Facepalm. ]

At least there'll be a familiar face around...

[emeraldcrusader]

Yeah, there's that at least.

Someone's gotta keep you out of trouble, buddy. [So he tries to lighten the mood a bit. Insert a small smirk from Hal here.]

[speedygoldenboy]

Hah, keep me out of trouble? [ He was going to smirk right back. ]

Got that backwards, don't you?

[kid_crash]

[Hey, Barry that's not his Barry.]

So you might be going to the cuddle place too?

[emeraldcrusader]

[He shrugs a bit here. Amused, of course.]

Do I?

[hotsexyamazon]

Why are you cuddling with strangers?

[speedygoldenboy]

How many times have I saved your butt already? [ He nudges the Lantern gently, knowing it's probably equal between them. ]

[speedygoldenboy]

[ Heeeeey- ... You. Kid he's never met before. Sob. ]

If my mun can manage to get his head together, yep.

[speedygoldenboy]

Apparently lack of physical contact results in illness in this place. And- chances are, I won't know most of the people there.

[emeraldcrusader]

Just as many times as I've saved yours? [Hal doesn't know if the number is actually equal, but it's good that they talk like this.]

[hotsexyamazon]

That's a rather odd cure for an illness.

[tripleshot]

Dare I ask what the other options were?

[ all in the good name of reporting justice. ]

[speedygoldenboy]

[ Eh, they can just call it even as friends do. ]

If you say so. If my mun does get his head in the game, it would be nice to see you around.

[speedygoldenboy]

I don't understand it myself, but the symptoms seem bad enough that I wouldn't question it. For the time being.

[speedygoldenboy]

[ iris, no. don't report on this. ]

A world where we can bend reality with our thoughts and willpower. I guess it's like being a Green Lantern, but without the ring.

[emeraldcrusader]

Definitely. It'll be nice to see at least one familiar face around, even though it looks like we're both from different timelines.

Looks like business as usual to some degree.

[hotsexyamazon]

Perhaps this is something we must watch to ensure it doesn't become an epidemic. What are the symptoms?

[tripleshot]

[ tough luck, buddy. ]

That doesn't sound so bad. Why not there?

[captain_cold]

Bitch, bitch, bitch, your life is so tough, Flash. Friggin' golden boy thinks he's got it rough. That martyr complex of yours is gonna get old real damn quick.

[speedygoldenboy]

It looks like weakness at first, then dizziness and lethargy, which get worse as time goes on. Then comes nausea and fevers... and then a stage neither my mun or I want to guess about.

[speedygoldenboy]

[ sob. ]

Mun's got a habit of not wanting to repeat things he's done before.

[speedygoldenboy]

...

A little touchy today?

[captain_cold]

I just get tired of listening to you speedster's cryin' about how hard yer lives are. Getting the chance to cuddle up to some gorgeous broad ain't appealing to you? You just send 'em my way then.

[hotsexyamazon]

That is a terrible list. And the cure for this is... hugging?
