tardily | ( ic contact ) - ( sorry, guys, i got a little held up. you had to be there. )

wow i can't actually picture you LECTURING someone for serious dude. like really? are you turning into a cranky old man already just because you're a grandpa now?

NOPE. i can't MR BARRY WEST back at you and that's totally not fair so i am officially on team barry is a jerk

so hey speaking of which you gotta fill me in on what you know about the universes that are apparently just like ours except not because i've had like two different people mention the justice league to me and i still have no idea what that means

[ Yeah, okay, it's an easy way to get off an uncomfortable topic, but he is genuinely curious. ]

it was more of a preaching thing maybe? i don't know! i thought i was just pointing things out. maybe i am becoming a grandpa because superspeed ages me too fast. you'll tell me if i get gray hairs soon, right?

you can...do that at me but please don't. STILL. LITTLE. TOUCHY SUBJECT. THAT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT OVER TEXT.

oh! so my info's a little shoddy? but okay so remember how gideon said i was a founding member of something, the justice and then i interrupted her because i'm an idiot. I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT IS. but it's like what we've done with ollie and everyone only bigger. there's superman who's alien and i never asked him where he's from, there's me, there's oliver who's going to call himself green arrow at some point. LAUGH ABOUT THAT PLEASE. there's green lantern who's hal who i think is in our world too for sure? because missing pilot from ferris, PRETTY POSITIVE THAT'S OUR HAL JORDAN! there's batman too and he's from gotham. um. i think- OH THERE'S ANOTHER ALIEN, i forgot his name but he doesn't look human like superman? and some badass named wonder woman.

and there was something about a fish king named arthur and maybe hawkgirl? maybe, i kind of forgot and it's complicated keeping track of justice league members and not justice league members is hard. there's power girl though, i remember her and her all stars because i started singing that smash mouth song.

but yeah, we all protect our respective cities/places...since hal's the ~space~ protector because the corps are dumb and think humans are dumb and we save the world. and it's pretty cool. and there's some of here but not all of us. and some of us have small versions. so there's me + kid flash, superman + superboy, batman + robin, ollie + roy maybe, i don't know about everyone else?

i might tell you that you have grays when you don't tho i mean no promises (but seriously no joking about accelerated aging without caitlin here to give you a checkup i mean that never really got crossed off the possible concerns list)

dude i know that's why i was saying i can't get you back with that.

[ There is a brief pause. ]

okay gimme a minute to read all that but first i gotta say: remind me to make you a friction-resistant phone case so you don't LIGHT YOUR PHONE ON FIRE TEXTING SO FAST OH MY GOD

GREEN ARROW IS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER OH MY GOD THAT'S WAY LESS INTIMIDATING THAN *THE ARROW*

wait so have we solved the mystery of how he went missing? what is even a green lantern anyway? does he have like lamp powers?? why are there so many green superheroes in their universe

okay batman is the dumbest name for a superhero but if any city needs one it's gotham seriously when do we get him

also i was talking to a guy named superman! and another one named superboy, real imaginative naming scheme but i guess kid flash isn't much better. did other-you come up with that because seriously bro no

OH DUDE I DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE OTHER ALIEN I MET okay not getting sidetracked but LATER HE'S LIKE A SPACE ACTION HERO IT'S AMAZING

wonder woman also not the best name ever also why is she apparently the only woman in this thing? there need to be way more badass superladies.

okay fish king and hawkgirl are you serious or are you messing with me i can't tell anymore

nerd.

okay i'm done. so that's seriously amazing, minor naming issues aside. also wait are these actual CHILDREN SUPERHEROES? i mean roy obviously not but what

that was never crossed off the possible concerns list??? do i have to ask shade and superman and idk WALLY??? IF THAT'S A PROBLEM. WHERE'S JAY GARRICK WHEN I NEED HIM THE OLD SPEEDSTER GRANDPA WE ALL DESERVE. I'M NOW A LITTLE CONCERNED THANKS I MEANT IT AS A JOKE

[ Dear Barry, he's waiting in season two for you and he's going to be young. You're gonna hit yourself when it happens. ]

I WON'T. bart texts faster than i do and he hasn't burnt his phone and killed it. it's fine, we're fine. my phone is in good speedy hands.

I KNOW RIGHT? AND IT'S SO STUPID BECAUSE HE WEARS GREEN LIKE YES ORIGINALITY I AM AN ARCHER WHO WEARS GREEN. DUDE OLIVER HATED IT, IT WAS SO FUNNY.

i mean he still has to show up, but mark my words, called it now. he's our hal jordan. who's supposed to be biffles with me and oliver. i'm looking forward to it if only because you've met hal. you've met our oliver. you're one of my best friends.

you can't tell me that isn't a match/trio made in hilarious heaven.

Edited (wrong game for that description whoops) 2015-07-17 05:17 (UTC)

idk about the green fascination but the green comes with the job and the ring and what it does. remember how eobard had the flash ring (you're going to make me one or i will make myself one, i'm not kidding, i need it already), yeah, hal's powers are all in the ring. and his powers, they're like this construct? or i don't know what it's called but imagine like this green glow stuff becoming objects/holding things. it is the coolest thing imaginable.

but the name comes with the job. they think of earth as a backwater planet, it's the worst. :(

i'd say let's go to gotham and look for him but gotham. i'm a superhero, but that's a bit much even for oliver. and he had you know, starling. or star as people like to correct. also batman is not as terrifying as people make him out to be but soooo pretentious oh my god the stupid thing i had to do to see him.

and isn't superman the coolest? I LOVE HIM IN THE HERO WAY. because ugh. and i don't know who's idea was it or why in the fuck jay let us do it but he did and that's that. maybe because the world could handle him as a flash, and me as a flash, but wally needed to be the kid since he was a kid and idk bart comes from the hell future so he gets impulse.

hawkgirl. she is a girl too. i don't know why, maybe it's because the other girls hadn't joined in and i mean laurel. OH. that's the other team i forgot. laurel's got a birds of prey thing going so maybe she's the one who stole all the badass ladies and we get wonder woman because she's the alpha female.

which holy shit i hope she never comes here and see that i feel like maybe that'd earn me a murder in my sleep. that never leaves this text. I'M SURE SHE'S WONDERFUL.

...amazing. amazing was the better word there./span>

and i'm not kidding, i read the newspaper article that mentioned hawkgirl that gideon had and hal literally told me to not meet any fish kings without him. he's really sad that oliver and i both didn't know him. because the way it worked in his universe is that oliver and i hate each other and only work together outside of the jl is because we love hal just that much. oliver is also a hippie in his world, just let that one sink in i will give you 5 minutes to not text me back so you can stop laughing.

and shut up, i'm not a nerd, she said it and that's all i could think of. too many people knew my name, cisco.

robin/wally/bart are all teenagers. less sure about superboy but ?

[ More like ten minutes later: ]

okay now that i can finally breathe again, oh my god hippie oliver is even funnier than GREEN ARROW. also i know i started it but texting like this is pretty much the worst thing ever. are you gonna be home soon we can talk about this over pizza or something instead of blowing up each others phones

also bro i love you but trust me. i know nerds, and you are one.

Edited 2015-07-17 05:51 (UTC)

i might be home soon but you might have to call in the pizza so i can pick it up. and ps: it's even funnier when you think "green" arrow.

takes one to know one. :D

how many do you think you're gonna eat?

also oh my god you're killing me dude that's too funny does he know about the hippie thing too what was his reaction

Edited 2015-07-17 15:39 (UTC)

three? maybe? get four just in case, i'll eat whatever you don't eat off the fourth one since i am the human garbage disposal when it comes to food.

no! if he ever gets ported back here i'm going to tell him, he hates the green arrow name, so i imagine it'll end in another arrow to the back.

but it'll be worth it.

so worth it.

I'm getting five just to be safe. the usual?

man it's a good thing you heal fast. tho I could try reinforcing the back of the suit to make it more arrow proof so you can make fun of him more

make one only pineapple. i'm feeling this craving for citrus. and breadsticks.

nah i'll take an arrow to the back from him so i can make fun of him. better than how it originally happened, you know?
