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.

Comments

"No kidding." Flash crossed his arms. "It's not so bad most of the time, but the balancing act sucks, as well as the lying part."

"Yeah, it's always fun keeping my ghost adventures from my happy taco-eating family," Suze said as she leaned back in the chair, slumping down a bit.

[fasterthan]

Flash looked over at Suze and raised an eyebrow. "'Ghost adventures?' Don't think you've mentioned those before."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Really?" Suze blinked. "I thought I had mentioned it," she said with a shrug.

"I'm a mediator. Basically I help ghosts get to wherever it is they need to go."

[fasterthan]

"So you see ghosts and stuff? That must be... interesting."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Interesting and a pain," Suze replied. "Stupid ghosts whining all the time. Makes having a normal social life rather difficult."

[fasterthan]

"Bummer. Are they all over the place?"

Flash paused and looked around.

"Are there any in here?"

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much," Suze said with a nod.

"Nah, no dead people here. Trust me, I would have started this conversation alot more grumpy if there had been."

[fasterthan]

Flash looked a bit relieved. "Well that's good. I don't think I'd be able to handle being watched by Batman and who knows how many ghosts at the same time. That'd just be creepy."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Creepy indeed," Suze smirked. "At least most of them know to keep out of bathrooms and places like that. Otherwise things would get really creepy."

[fasterthan]

Flash shuddered. "Oh man, I do not want to think about that."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"No,you really really don't," Suze laughed.

"But I know how much the lying part of secret identities must suck," she told him. Doc's the only one in my family who knows anything about it."

[fasterthan]

"Yeah, it does suck sometimes. I try not to let it get me down, though. It isn't really that bad, most of the time. Who's Doc?"

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

Suze waved the autographed piece of paper in the air. "David. My stepbrother. He's Doc, and the other two are Dopey and Sleepy."

[fasterthan]

"Right. Gotcha. I hope you don't call them that to their faces." Flash was grinning.

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"No, of course not," Suze replied. "Mom'd kill me if I did."

[fasterthan]

"Not to mention I don't think they'd be too happy about it, either."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Well I don't really care what Dopey or Sleepy think, but I wouldn't want to bum Doc out," Suze shrugged again. "He's a nice kid, unlike his brothers."

[fasterthan]

"One out of three isn't bad. At least you got one nice sibling. Better than none. And it's always good to have someone you can share your secrets with."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Suze agreed. "What about you. I don't really remember, do you have someone who knows about your ah...Flashyness?"

[fasterthan]

"Well, the League, obviously. And yeah, there's... a couple of people."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"That's good," she smiled. "Being a mediator is a pain, but it was alot worse when I didn't have anyone to tell back in New York."

[fasterthan]

"Yeah, I can imagine how that would be. It can be pretty hard sometimes."

He grinned. "At least you don't have to go around in a costume."

[mediator-suze.livejournal.com]

"That's true," Suze chuckled. "You wouldn't catch me dead in tights and spandex. No way."

[fasterthan]

Flash grumbled. "Should have seen that one coming. It's not tights OR spandex."

He fell silent and glared at the screen, but maybe it was only a pretend glare.
