Gotta Go Fast

Like

Oh yeah, true, what was he thinking? A speedster only eating one whole pizza? That’s just crazy talk. He simply nods and looks back at the monitor, frankly waiting for Wally to appear again in the next couple of seconds.

It took only as long as the pizza place needed to make the order and then he was back just as promised.  A far too cheeky redhead skid to a halt holding six pizzas, handing the top of the bunch over to Arthur.

Dick: Yeah, why would we be?

Wally: He's terrifying! All he does is glare and grunt and like- lurk ominously.

Dick: Oh! Oh I get it! It's because- you know what, I'll just show you. There's like, a vaccine to Bat-terror.

Wally: A vaccine?

Dick: [drags Wally over to Batman] I'm hungry.

Batman: [without missing a beat] Hi hungry I'm Batman.

Dick: [to Wally] See?

[He grimaced a little at that and quickly ordered another beer for himself.]

Nah, not yet. I told both I don’t do relationships. At least… not the usual way. I stopped sleeping around. But I won’t choose one over the other.

[Mark paused just long enough to accept his second beer and huffed softly.]

…I rather have them choose whether or not to keep up with my bullshit.

[Wally shrugged and leaned his elbow against the bar.]

At least you’re open about it.  And as long as the other two don’t mind.  

“   Now that you’re going to get it anyway, if you could bring me one too, that would be great. I know you can probably eat a whole pizza by yourself so you don’t have to share. But if you bring me a ham and pineapple pizza, I’ll pay you back for it.   “

“An entire pizza by myself?  Oh Arthur.  I’m gonna eat five pizzas.”  He grins and clasps a hand on his colleague’s shoulder.   

   Fuck you, I’m awesome at any game.

         ………….. Okay. 

     I get it.   I’ll see ya later, nerd..!

[He rolls his eyes with a smile.]

   Ah…  [ shrugs ]      Tho, he prefers just being Arthur, anyway. You know; normal.. ––I mean, I’d think he would. He probably does. Maybe. Maybe not–– I’ve got no clue. Obviously. 

    [ huffs ]    And well, now I don’t wanna go anymore.       Guess I’ll just stay here, and bore myself to death instead.

You’re not good at this game.  

Look.  I’m going to get pizza.  Arthur and I are going to eat it while I have to sit on monitor duty.  We’ll probably chit chat about whatever.  

Since I know you’re on your way to do terrible, terrible things, I’m gonna have to send someone out to investigate.  That could take a while since, y’know, pizza.  

YOU are going to be in big trouble though if the person I EVENTUALLY send out, catches you. 

   OOoh.. Oh, that Arthur. Yeah, Okay.. Yeah…  cool. Royal dinner at the pizza place. Neat. 

       Who, Kiddy Swosh…?  the dude fuckin’ sucks…

   [ is bitter ‘cause he know shit won’t go his damn way… ]

     …. can ya bring some pizza back home?

Not really.  Just pizza in front of the monitor station.  Is any meal a royal meal when you eat with a king?  

I love that DC used to be an inspiration of hope and justice and showed its characters who are flawed but good and has rotted into abusive, shock factor versions of themselves that the real ones would be disgusted to see

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

   [ He scrunches up his nose and sticks out his tongue at him ]  Fine.  Be boring.        Whatever, I’ll have much more fun out there with you anyw–– 

   [ AAAAND he almost chokes on his own words ]

   ……A-arthur..?   Oh.   O–okay.  ––  I MEAN, who.. Who the fu-hHHuhahaha-ck is that ?   

   Actually, I don’t care. Why’d I care?  I’ve got a race to get to, and none of those losers you’ll send out will be able to catch me. 

Yes, The King himself.  

     You seem sad.  ––And I really couldn’t be happier about it.. Buuuuuuut…     You know…   You can join, if you want.  It’s pretty fun.  Lots of hot people and some people actually bring BBQ stuff…

   Yeah, yeah, sure!   

        thank yoouuu ~   [ blows a kiss ]

i’ve replied on my laptop and it’s doing this?? and you can’t edit it because it keeps multiplying the replies every time to try, this is some weird nightmare!

   ………. did I say street race? I meant legal racing, uh, at this upcoming, uh, carnival.. thing.

“   Yes, I get that kind of paranoia from time to time. So every time I go to Atlantis I ask them to scan me just in case. Besides, I’ll be here and will alert you if anything happens.   “
