[003] - Action and Phone

[fasterthan]

Action - Mailbox at 1665 Nelson after work
[Wally got a package in the mail! It's addressed to him and everything! EXCITING! He opens it up and... oh.

It's his superhero costume. He doesn't take it all the way out of the box, he just... stares at it.

Then he frowns and says, almost petulantly,]

Oh come on, that's just not fair.

Phone - That Evening

So hey this whole mail business... so they give you some of your old stuff back after... weird stuff happens? Is this a regular thing?

Oh. No, it's okay man, don't even worry about. I mean yeah, it's crazy weird. Bart was telling me all about this whole family that I don't even have.

Sorry for uh... not knowing you though.

[notasidedick]

I guess you might have it someday. I wouldn't know. It seems there's a lot of differences between universe to universe.

Don't worry about it. It's not your fault.

[fasterthan]

Maybe. Pretty sure you don't suddenly develop uncles, though.

I know, but I still kind of feel bad about it.

[notasidedick]

In this place, I wouldn't be surprised though. Being married and suddenly having children seems to be the norm.

[He chuckles a bit.] Don't worry too much about it. It doesn't necessarily mean we can't be friends now. [FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC???]

[fasterthan]

Yeah well here I wouldn't be surprised. Back home is a different thing entirely.

Well hey, no reason not to give it a shot. [MAAAAAAGIC!!]

[notasidedick]

I don't know. Sometimes home can get kind of weird. [Being a Bat is suffering.]

See, we're already on to something. Kind of.

[fasterthan]

Okay yeah, but it's a different kind of weird. Usually. Most of the time.

Hey, what do you know!

Question, though. You said where you come from we're pretty good friends. Uh... just to make this clear on my part so I don't freak out or anything, how much do you know?

[notasidedick]

We were pretty much best friends. We practically did everything together. Even stuff people usually don't do.

[Hint. Hint. Wink. Wink?]

[fasterthan]

[He's listening for it, so he gets it.]

Riiiiiight. I gotcha. Cool.
