Ow. [geez artemis what are your joints made out of, knives] I'm just saying, with how tight that ponytail is, no wonder you're always irritable. [DO YOU WANT TO DIE OR SOMETHING WALLY]

You deal with more than just me?! I'm wounded. I don't deal with more than one blond angry highway cop at a time. [wally seriously ur lookin to die

Luckily, the coaster is right up ahead and the line for it isn't too long. Thank god for weekdays. Wally perks up and jogs over to secure their place in line.]
runningstart: hit on teacher --> get served (kf; ow ow ow ow)

Not one this big. Mom and Dad would take me to the state and county fairs when they came along, but y'know. The coasters in those things gotta fold up, so they dont' get too tall. [Wally crunches down the last of his popcorn and stuffs the bucket into an overflowing trash bin as they inch forward in line.

Artemis is in for the most frustrating thirty minutes of her life, because there's nothing more excruciating for a speedster than having to wait in line. Wally whines, complains, picks on Artemis, gets really annoying with that stupid stuffed monster and at one point actually lays down on the dirty, sticky ground while fake-crying about how long it's taking to get on the ride. Everyone around them is staring Wally, who doesn't notice, but they are also staring at Artemis like 'would you control that thing please']
runningstart: (kf; fuckin walls come outta NOWHERE)

Okay one? I'm adorable. Two? I'm fifteen. Three? When your average speed is three hundred miles an hour, you don't do well with not moving. [Wally shifts restlessly from foot to foot.

A ride attendant is traveling down the line and speaking to people in front of them; Wally cranes his neck and overhears her say that the ride is temporarily down for maintenance and will be up momentarily, thus explaining the standstill. Wally rubs his face before thrusting the stuffed doll at Artemis. The words tumble out of his mouth a little too quickly to be natural.]
Would you hold this and my place in line because I gotta go I'll be right back do you want anything?
runningstart: (ww:  thanks uncle barry)

[Wally's already gone before she's done saying it, and he's gone for ten minutes and the line's still standing still by the time he comes back. He's got a huge bag full of ice cream bars but instead of just coming back to Artemis and eating them all himself, he...starts handing them out to people in line.

He hands out all but two, to all the people surrounding them in line, then steps back over to Artemis and holds out one of the bars.]
Trade you. [give him back that monster and he's gonna eat his ice cream bar]
runningstart: (ww; CRANKY)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-06-08 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [Wally eats his ice cream just as quietly, the monster stuffed under the other arm, and he won't look her in the eye so he knows he crossed a line somewhere but is unwilling to do anything about it. The ice cream is probably the only thing he will do about it.

The line starts moving after a few more minutes, albeit just as slowly as before, and Wally tosses his stick into a can when they pass by before clearing his throat.]
Look, I don't like- I'm not saying I buy this time distortion thing. I probably just have amnesia [and you know a guy is dedicated to science when he would rather believe he has AMNESIA than consider time travel] but humor me, or something. The whole thing with...with Red. [He still won't look at her. He picks the caramel corn out of the monster's mouth and flicks it into the trash.] Does that get...I mean, do we fix it?
runningstart: (kf; no it's not true)

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-06-09 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa- you serious? [For just a few seconds he looks so painfully hopeful, right on that edge of worried and relieved and reluctant to believe her but wanting so badly to.

RT didn't betray them. RT was just looking out for everyone.]
runningstart: (kf; twelve...?)

[To be fair, Wally's pretty good at not letting people see how hard things can hit him. It's nice to know that though; he'd been so angry but more than angry he'd been hurt. Without knowing what they were going to do after RT leaving with the other Reds and then showing up here, well.

That word, though. Sacrifice. That hits before "mole" even registers.]
Wait wait, Red's dead?
runningstart: (ww; well fuck what's going on here)

action;

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-06-09 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Geez, [Wally sighs explosively, and shoves his face into the stuffed doll for a second before giving Artemis an exasperated look.] Why'd you say "sacrifice" like that? You freaked me out. Don't do that.
runningstart: aren't you insulted (ww; why did you not react to my insult)

action;

[personal profile] runningstart 2014-06-09 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wally gives her a strange look.] Why wouldn't I be worried? We almost died. It's kind of a big deal. [also thanks for that awesome, incredible life-saving shot and not like, abandoning all of them to their deaths or whatever]

...And what'd you mean, he wasn't the mole? What mole?
runningstart: (ww; AWESOME SELFIE)

Wow, that is definitely one of the most suspicious things I've ever heard. [Wally doesn't push it either (though his mutter is a little mutinous) just because this time travel stuff is a headache for him too. Not to mention that apparently he's going to forget all of it once he gets out of here anyway, or hey! Maybe even before that. Stupid circumstantial amnesia.

Lucky for them, the line finally shuffles to the row dividers and Wally automatically lines up for the front row. The line's longer but the payoff is so sweet, and even though Wally can't convince the ride attendants to give the monster doll its own seat, he just squishes the stupid thing against his chest as they lower the safety harnesses into place.

He grins over at Artemis and knocks his knee into hers, thrusting his hands up into the air.]
You can't hold on! That's a cardinal rule. No hands or you didn't really ride.
runningstart: (ww; HAHHAH are you serious?!)

[Wally's run faster than this. Wally's moved almost ten times as fast as this, but his feet weren't dangling in the air and his face wasn't rushing toward the ground and he wasn't gasping for breath because the adrenaline that just shot through his gut was from joy, not fear.

Artemis doesn't have to scream. Wally's doing plenty of that for the both of them.]


Woooooooooo hooooooooooo! [Wally's fists are up in the air and the coaster slings them around like a child with sugar rush and a fistful of Barbie hair. A girl behind them screams shrill and piercing, edged with panic but not quite there and Wally can't help but laugh. He glances over at Artemis; her hair keeps whipping loose and smacking her in the face but she's smiling and Wally doesn't know if he's ever seen her face look like that before. Weird.

Then the coaster flips them upside-down again and Wally shouts again, and he's gonna be hoarse by the end of the day, isn't he?]
