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

right now? maybe jay. i know he's not here, but bart talks about him and other people mentioned him and color me slightly curious because i don't have him. and yes that means i'm the first flash at home.

...batman would also be a good one. mostly so i can stop laughing at batman. I'M TRYING NOT TO SAY EVERYTHING.

because that's not a text conversation.

'not be named' ok fella

jay is a badass with a senior discount

he was doing the speed thing before it was cool and helped found the justice society which was the big superhero group before it broke up and then kind of half-reformed into the league

theres about a bajillion stories about jay but if you want to know most of them go find a guy named the shade and ask him and hell talk about jay until the sun sets on the seventh day
he has a crush

BATMAN im not telling you a lot about bc i value my broship with robin and also my life and batman is a jerk about stuff

already did the accidental reveal of someone's secret id, not risking it again. he may like green though.

so he's the grandpa flash. or can be called that because he was the first and not me. i might admit that's one of those things that your world has over me. THAT'S NOT CALLING MY WORLD BORING. but does he seriously have a crush? like neon sign crush?

[ not that it's a problem but he needs to know that ahead of time right now. ]

i also am slightly concerned about ever talking to batman but honestly, i've got to do it at some point because superman put me on superman catching duty if...that's not the point. the point is that if batman murders me because i say the wrong thing, i'm going to remember this and haunt you. even if that's not possible. but good on you valuing the broship. even though you now let me connect batman + robin. who i keep being concerned is a bird when i read that.

i'm assuming superman is not off limits.

because he is not a jerk.

and also you. because we've established you were just reacting the way anyone would have and you apologized.

reads like a crush dude i dunno maybe he does if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck amiright

ALSO whatever dude everybody knows batman + robin theyre partners robin was THE FIRST sidekick its like national knowledge

heres the things u need 2 know about batman: prefers people who do the job right the first time
doesnt really appreciate dissenting opinions
no sense of humor (robin will say he does but hes lying)

SUPERMAN is great hes a boy scout
he can get kind of holier than thou about it sometimes but like its so rare and if ur like whatever dude usually hes like ah sorry

hes pretty reliable i think he genuinely just likes people which is just
weird as heck

ME IM AMAZING yes my favorite topic

im 16 im a scorpio i like food and hot girls
im a genius and everybody likes me

ignoring the fact that you called a grown man a duck, sure. yes, it walks and quacks like a duck so it is indeed a DUCK.

and i don't. no batman where i come from or if he is there, he hasn't made his existence national knowledge. but no batman = no robin. :(

...oh so he's. [ basically oliver then. ]...thankfully i have experience with someone like that. i'm significantly less concerned for my life now.

liking people isn't weird as heck. if it's weird as heck, i'm weird as heck and i know i'm...not. but noted on the superman front. though maybe it's just me but i don't think he's an actual boy scout. i know i know, that was just an expression but if it wasn't for the alien factor i would probably assume he learned the all american man thing from being a boy scout. or being from the midwest. probably both.

...is that how you introduce yourself to everyone? that's not the best of introductions, no offense.

how much of a genius, btw?

if it makes you feel better i dont think batman would actually kill anybody just make them miserable for the rest of eternity

BUT IM GENIUS ENOUGH TO GIVE MYSELF MY OWN POWERS
BAM lookit that

betcha didnt think i was THAT smart huh

the only upside to that is still living. being miserable for the rest of eternity isn't exactly anyone's preferred state.

wally, you do know i didn't mean to become the flash, right? i mean I DIDN'T. and only had it happen because i fell in some chemicals and had lightning from the particle accelerator hit me, but i don't know about your uncle.

but if it was anything like mine, it does require a certain amount of smarts. mostly because i guarantee you knowing all of the chemicals involved and every little detail does mean you might as well be called a super genius.

huh thats weird

jays was an accident like that
i mean it was just lightning from the sky not particle accelerator lightning but he didnt mean for it to happen

uncle b recreated it and then i recreated it from HIS notes so uncle b was kind of the genius first so

but thank u im aware i am a super genius and thats all me no powers involved
thank

the more you guys keep talking about jay, the more i'm really just hoping he's in my world and that because things are different he just hasn't been in central like i needed him to be. NOT THAT I DID NEED HIM. because different mentor without superspeed, awesome team, but they also don't have superspeed.

...i feel significantly less cool for being the one who had it happen because oops the skylight thing was open and i'm an idiot. i'm not an idiot but you know.

ps: don't be so cocky even if you're super genius. bad habit to get into and makes you look way less cool.

I CAN BE COCKY ALL I WANT i earned this cockiness thank u

if you've earned it, you know there's a time and place for it.

unless they totally skipped that lesson when you learned it. which is a little unfair because i had to take the "use this sparingly and in the right situations" class to earn my cocky permission.

[ barry you're doing that WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD TO WALK UP THE HILL BOTH WAYS TO GET TO SCHOOL thing. stop that. ]

is every discussion we have going to become a lecture

no. just ones that involve you and too much cockiness.

honestly, not actually setting out to lecture you all the time. still 25. my extent of dad-ing or uncle-ing someone pretty much stops at bart.

cut me some slack, i'm trying.

look i get enough talking down from the leaguers here i dont need it from you

i. didn't mean it as talking down to you, but noted.

taking a guess here, makes it even worse because i'm not a leaguer at home? i mean mostly because there's no league yet at home but you know.

its because im not ten or actually your nephew

youre doing the parenting/mentor thing

apparently you arent aware of it but read and review

cause it sounds like it

[ give him a minute to read up wally, just give him a minute. ]

technically speaking you're still younger than me. willing to acknowledge that you're not ten and my nephew since different universe and you are not bart.

it just kind of happens. i'm honestly not meaning to. and i'm sorry. this is just weird for both of us because you're younger than me but more experienced than me. and i.

let me start that again.

i'm not used to this sort of thing. the extent of heroes in my world is really small. you have a league, you have people who are younger halves of superhero dynasties? it's weird calling it that but i'm assuming not everyone has family connections, so dynasties it is. i'd like to have a kid flash. another flash related person because i'm one dude with supserspeed and the other heroes i know have no superpowers. it's just me being the metahuman on the block. you know this or if you didn't there you go.
