So the preview for the comic I'm not even in anymore made you want to play me, huh? You couldn't resist, could you. They never can. So what, are you gonna do a reread now? You're not putting me in a game, I know that much. A man's gotta run free. Yeah.

If you tell them not to put you in a game, they will outright ignore you most times.

[accelerad]

Really? In that case, I totally want to be in a game. I want to be in every game.

[ex_soter262]

The reverse psychology is a most spectacular failure in these instances as well.

My mun refuses to listen no matter what I say or do.

[accelerad]

Then you need to get yourself a new mun. What happened to all the whip-crack, morphy gun, guy in charge shit?

[ex_soter262]

My mun, quote-unquote, "Will not put up with my shit" if I try that. He could probably tame Galactus if so-minded.

[accelerad]

What's he gonna do, kick you out of his head?

[ex_soter262]

He's liable to do so. Hard ass, what can I say?

So does this mean your mun will put you in memes, then?

[accelerad]

I think I like your mun.

Yeah, seems like it. She's put me on that picture prompt one so far.

[tesselate]

I know you're not big on the settling down thing, but games really aren't so bad!

[accelerad]

Sure, for you, when you've got your boyfriend there. Mun's not going to bring me there when she's already got Eli there. Doesn't want me making any competition for him.

'Cause she knows I'd win.

[tesselate]

Well I figured you wouldn't come here, but it wasn't so bad even before Teddy was here. I mean it's definitely not the same as being home, but it's better than doing nothing in your mun's headspace, or whatever the alternative is, right?

[accelerad]

Maybe if she gets my voice down. Her friend has grandpa and Professor X somewhere she wants me to go.

[tesselate]

That'd be great! You'd have family and everything!

[accelerad]

Yeah, but they're like... young. And I think they're dating.

[tesselate]

Whoa no way?!

[accelerad]

Yeah, so like, not gonna be a part of that.

[tesselate]

That's so cool though.

[accelerad]

For you. I'm still reeling from the implications.

[tesselate]

Like, what? That you were secretly born from two dudes because I don't think it works that way.

[accelerad]

That if Magneto and Professor X from their universe were boning, what if the ones in our universe were boning too, back before they got all wrinkly and bald and paraplegic?

[tesselate]

Well good for them, I'm really not seeing the issue here.

[accelerad]

Yeah, sure, I mean, they can bone all they want on their own free time, I just don't want to be around it 'cause then I'm gonna be picturing our Magneto and Professor X.

[tesselate]

And....?

[still not. seeing the issue.]

[accelerad]

Old dudes. Having sex. Mental images. In my brain.

[tesselate]

Good for them! You know old people have sex, right? Like they don't stop just because they're old.

[accelerad]

But I don't have to be there when they do it.

[tesselate]

No one was saying that you had to!

[accelerad]

Okay! Fine!

[recurve]

Are you for real?

[accelerad]

Am I ever not?

[flashingtheimpulse]

[Bart ran past and grinned for a moment as he called out a taunt.]

[accelerad]

Oh hell no. [He grins and takes off, catching up quickly.]

[flashingtheimpulse]

[The kid chuckled as the man caught up and stuck out his tongue before redoubling his pace.]

Don't blow out a hip old man!

[accelerad]

[Sixteen is not old. And two can play at that game. Tommy picks up the pace, overtaking him easily.]

Not on your life, kid!

[flashingtheimpulse]

[His smile widened as he started to laugh, it had been too long since he had a decent race and even then Clark couldn't have come close to keeping up.]

Nice spandex! Got a ballet class to get to after this?

[The kid winked at the other boy and picked up the pace again, chuckling as he heard the sonic boom that came with breaking the sound barrier.]

[accelerad]

Hey man, this suit is aerodynamic.

[Is that how we're gonna play? Tommy makes his own sonic boom and catches up, trying to step on the kid's sneaker to flat tire him at Mach 3.]

[flashingtheimpulse]

I'm sure it is...if you are participating in the Olympic bobsled competition!

[Bart saw the kid's foot coming at the last second and smiled as he suddenly came to a dead stop and let the other guy race right past him. With a broad grin he waved at the kid and made a 90 degree turn and took off in the opposite direction.]

[accelerad]

[Tommy swears as he skids past, then starts running after him again.]

Neat trick, that stop. Doesn't mean you can beat me.

[flashingtheimpulse]

[He smiled at the challenge and reached out to draw more energy from the Speed Force. As he felt the power course through his body he looked back and offered a slight wave before taking off again at the speed of light.]

[accelerad]

[Speed of light, huh? Okay, this kid is good. Maybe too good. Tommy keeps up as best he can, but he's starting to tire.]

[flashingtheimpulse]

[Bart slowed a bit when he noticed his companion was starting to slow, and he grinned as he pointed to the East.]

I know a decent little chinese buffet not to far from here, could stop and grab a bite if you wanted?

[accelerad]

Is it all you can eat? Will they throw us out if we take them up on it and eat everything?

[I'll take heightened metabolism for 800, Alex.]

[flashingtheimpulse]

Oh man, It is all you can eat! Just make sure to leave a fat tip and they really don't care too much!

[accelerad]

Sounds awesome. Beat you there! [And he takes off in the direction the kid pointed.]

[flashingtheimpulse]

[He watched the kid take off and shook his head as he started to grin. Without a word Bart slowly started to stretch before he bent down to double untie and retie the laces on his new set of sneakers.

There was a fiercely competitive streak within himself but Bart was honestly looking forward to a fair race, one in which both racers knew where the finish line was...so he continued to smile as the other kid ran off, without a name of the restaurant or even the name of the country the buffet was located in. He chuckled as he took a moment to examine his shoes for scuff marks as he waited for his new friend to realize he wasn't being followed.]

[accelerad]

[Which doesn't take too long. Tommy knows he doesn't know where he's going. He stops and heads back soon enough.]

Well? What's the hold up? You don't just promise a guy food and then not go.
