I'll be fine. [Wally grabs his jacket from the back of the chair. He starts to slip it on before remembering it's hot outside, and that's why he took it off in the first place.

His thoughts are buzzing around in his head. Not needed. He's needed. And he doesn't have to be needed, he doesn't; he makes his own places, his own opportunities. Barry didn't want a sidekick, and so what? Wally made himself Barry's sidekick anyway.

His fingers move restlessly around his coat as he heads to the door, but something stops him, pulls him up short and he turns on his heel, jabs a finger in Annie's direction, and the words are falling out of his mouth before he can stop them. If he were honest with himself, he doesn't want to stop them anyway.] You should be careful. You're the one who told everyone that you've killed a bunch of people. You think we're all unwanted here? I don't agree, but if you really think that's true, then you're definitely worse off than I am.

[ Annie doesn't say anything in return. Wally's not saying anything new. He's also... not responding to what it is Annie feels makes them unnecessary. The military will use them, if it can, but this world doesn't need them to solve the problems of its own creation. Maybe being an outsider who has sat within another culture before gives her that perspective, but the idea of something needing to come in from beyond to change what happens... she's seen it be disastrous. Be meant to be disastrous.

The biggest changes have to come from within.

And she's always been in danger. Known to people at large, or to just those from home. She lifts a hand, waving him off with her fingers. ]

Goodbye, Wally.

[Wally scoffs, turns and storms off. ...slams his jacket sleeve in the door and has to sheepishly reopen the door to pull it out.

And three days later, he'll just pretend this fight never even happened.]

not here
