[There he is.]

Sorry dude, this is 95% genetic. Can't be taught.

[performance]

You haven't been dating anyone here, dude. I'd know. You'd rent one of those banner-flying airplanes.

[runningstart]

I don't have that kind of money. Trust me, if I did I'd probably get stock in the company, I'd be using it so often.

[performance]

I want to live in your universe, dude. It sounds amazing.

[ Maybe it's because he wants to smooth over the verbal beatdown he gave Wally earlier, or maybe it's just because he wants to get it off his chest, even if it's just in a roundabout way. And if he talks about it like it's another one of his elaborate secret identity games, it's almost actually easy to say. He's a pro at this stuff. ]

Real talk, though: sources tell me that at least one actual flesh-and-blood being totally has a thing for you. If that helps you sleep at night.

[runningstart]

Whoa, seriously?! I mean I expected this, naturally, but who? [He sits cross-legged and rests his elbows on his knees.] And is it me or is it KF? I'm cool with either.

[performance]

I can't tell you who! [ Gentle elbow to the ribs. ] That's like the first rule of these things, jeez.

... and it's Wally West, not Kid Flash.

[runningstart]

No kidding. [Wally's all grins right now. Sure, yeah, he's fairly self-confident and doesn't suffer from any crippling bouts of insecurity, but Wally West has never been the main attraction anywhere. Not at school, not with girls, nowhere. Everything he has, he's gotten through being KF.

It's kind of nice to think about someone liking him and not knowing about the hero.]

How do you already have sources? You're such a Bat.

[performance]

Hey, I get around. I talk to people. About you.

[runningstart]

Has anyone ever told you that your form of friendship is sometimes a little stalker-y?

[performance]

Don't you mean "thank you"?

[runningstart]

Thhhhhank you for stalking me?

[performance]

Is this what I get for passing on tips? Sheesh.

[runningstart]

Tell you what, I'll forgive you for stalking me if you tell me who it is. I might want to date her! [please please please let it be someone really cute, he's been talking to a LOT of cute girls lately]

[performance]

That's almost the worst bribe I've ever heard.
