RL with Suze, just for lulz.

[fasterthan]

It was early evening and Flash was on monitor duty up in the Watchtower. Since it wasn't that late, there were still Leaguers wandering around somewhere, probably, but for the moment he was on his own in the control room.

...he really wished he could turn on some music or something. Monitor duty was boring 85% of the time.

"What? You gonna tell Batman on me?"

[fasterthan]

"Uh... no, I wouldn't. Buuuuut he might find out on his own. He... kinda tends to do that."

"Then I'll pop right out of here. No big deal," she said with a shrug.

[fasterthan]

"Normally I wouldn't mind, really I wouldn't," Flash said apologetically, "but this reaaaaally isn't the right place. Everyone would start freaking out about security breaches and stuff. 'Cause, you know, this is supposed to be a secure headquarters slash hangout sort of thing."

"Seriously?" Suze said, her smirk gone. "I didn't think you'd all be that uptight about it. I suppose it makes sense though."
She paused and looked around the Watchtower.

"Looks pretty boring around here anyways..."

[fasterthan]

"Yeah, no kidding. We have rotating monitor duty shifts, and I usually get stuck with the night shifts since I have to work during the day. Batman might be able to get away without sleep, but that doesn't mean I can. It sucks."

Flash sighed dramatically and randomly hit a couple of keys on the keyboard.

"Well at least you've got the comm to keep you busy right?" Suze noted, pointing over at a monitor that happened to have a window open to livejournal.

[fasterthan]

Flash grinned a bit. "Sort of! I tend to lose interest pretty quickly, though, unless things start happening quickly."

"What, all the crazy, other worldly psychos don't keep you entertained?" Suze teased. "But, I guess you're used to stuff like that huh?

[fasterthan]

Flash broke out into a bigger smile at that. "Yeah, well, I hang out with a martian, a guy from a planet that doesn't exist anymore, a lady from an island entirely populated by amazons, and a guy with a ring that does weird stuff with the color green. Not to mention we all run around in weird costumes fighting crime."

"All that spandex in one place must be illegal."

[fasterthan]

Flash cracked up.

"I'd totally say something like 'but it's not spandex' except that was way too funny to make a comeback that lame."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Thank you, thank you," Suze said as she gave a slight bow. "I do try."

"So, how'd the Rogaine plan go?" she asked.

[fasterthan]

Flash grinned. "Well, I did it. But I have no idea what his reaction was. I'm not a stalker, you know."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"I could pop over, but he's probobly over it by now," she told him. "We'll just have to send him some of that hair-in-a-can next time and stick around for the fun."

[fasterthan]

"Ohgod yes. He's probably got bodyguards or something though... so maybe that's not such a good idea?"

He paused, thinking about it.

"Ah, screw it. We should totally do it."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," Suze said, grinning broadly. "And you've got me anyways. We can pop in and out. Just like that."

[fasterthan]

Flash's eyes widened. "Really? You can take people with you? AWESOME."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sure," Suze nodded. "I take it you've never been world-hopped then?"

[fasterthan]

Flash shrugged. "I've been to other worlds in this galaxy, and hell, I've been to parallel worlds before, but I've never been deliberately world-hopped, no."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Oh it's fun," Suze chuckled. "As long as I don't jump around too much at once. You don't even want to know how bad a headache I've gotten from that."

[fasterthan]

"I'm not sure I'd want to do too much at once. But then, I've never done it before so who knows."

Flash paused for a second.

"Uh... that didn't come out very well..."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

Suze bit her lip, trying to hold back her laughter, but her amusement was obvious.

"No, no it didn't. But don't worry. I won't tell."

[fasterthan]

Flash grinned, then flinched. "Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Bats set up cameras in this place. So while the sentiment is greatly appreciated, I'm not really sure that it would make much of a difference."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

Suze frowned. She hadn't thought of that.

"So basically we're busted even if I had left right away."

She paused and looked around for any cameras. She then looked over her shoulder at Flash and smirked. "Then maybe I'll let that girlfriend of yours know what you said."
