The Mechanicsburg Solstice Festival, that is!

(The first page of “A Mechanicsburg Solstice Story” was posted on Monday, November 30, 2020.)

Barry was the one who taught Dick most of his parkour, because acrobatics inside a circus tent are completely different from free-running across a wet rooftop with only a grapple hook that might jam to keep you safe

Dick, in response, insisted that Barry be apart of his “circus act” and even got Barry to wear some circus-inspired outfits with him

Barry can’t aim worth a dime, but for the longest time had Dick convinced that he could because he used to use his speed to guide the projectiles where they needed to go

Clark was the one who gave away the trick

Dick and Wally used to hang off of Barry’s coats/jackets All The Time, and even now, if he’s super tired after a long day, Dick will sometimes grab Barry’s sleeve and let himself be lead to bed

There’s a few angsty moments between them in my verse tbh but the main one is to do with Jason so :’)

Barry has a habit of putting himself in harms way for the younger heroes, and one time he did that for Dick and Barry ended up falling a long way down so, well, we all know what that means for Dick don’t we?

Dick’s explosive temper is something he gets from Barry. Bruce and Clark are silent when they’re angry, but Barry growls, shouts and gets right into people’s faces

Mentioned it before, but Barry was Super In Love with Dick’s Discowing suit and hugged him so tightly when he saw it that Dick legit couldn’t breathe

If Dick and Wally have an argument/falling out both of them will turn to Barry to vent and Barry is just *looks into the camera*

Won’t admit it but highkey tore up when he found out that one of the Supernova kids was named after him 

Dick shares Barry’s habit of hoarding hero merch of his friends and family

Much like Wally, Dick will bend down so Barry can ruffle his hair like when he was a kid

They go out for ice-cream a lot together
