So that's your real problem. It's not the music, it's the puns.

[speedforcer]

i never said i had a problem!
stop putting words in my mouth
or on the screen
you know what i mean!!

[atms]

how else am I supposed to take "please tell me you left your phone somewhere and someone's messing with you"?

[speedforcer]

as a compliment!
it means i think you have better taste in music than your pun shows

[atms]

Alright, I can see that.
No objections to Queen?

[speedforcer]

to queen? no
to the puns


we'll have to wait and see

[atms]

Refresh my profile.

[ just as long as it takes barry to comment on it, it's gonna say "I wanna make a supersonic man outta you." yes, he has been building up to a queen pun this whole time. it's terrible. ]

[speedforcer]

seriously len
i don't know whether to laugh or groan






(though shouldn't mick be using that line
mr fahrenheit)

[atms]

Both.
Probably. But it was either that or the Flash Gordon theme song.

[speedforcer]

i don't think either of those count as flirting

come on
you can do better than that

[atms]

That's because I wasn't trying to flirt with you.

[ there's a slight pause between messages. ]

Pretty sure most heroes don't goad their bad guys into flirting with them.

[ you sure you want to do that, barry? ]

[speedforcer]

and i'm pretty sure you've not been a "bad guy" for a long time now

[especially after sacrificing his life to save everybody]

[atms]

Haven't we had this conversation before? I'm a liar, and a thief, and a murderer, Barry. That hasn't changed just because I decided travelling in time to stop a megalomaniac had some perks.

[ you know, except in all the ways it absolutely has. but he doesn't want barry to think too highly of him. doesn't want to watch whatever pedestal he's up on crumble like he thinks it inevitably will. ]

[speedforcer]

i'm not denying that you've done those things before
or that you'll probably do them again
but i know you
there's good in you no matter how much you like to think otherwise

[atms]

You've really got me at a disadvantage with the knowing me thing.

[ its a little annoying. ]

[speedforcer]

if you're talking about eudio
that has nothing to do with it
you're not him and i know that

all that stuff about there being good in you?
that's down to YOU
the person i knew in central city
no one else

[atms]

[ leonard spends a long moment making a face at his phone. ]

Stop. Your optimism is making me break out in hives.

[speedforcer]

i thought you'd be used to it by now

[atms]

It's been a while since I've seen you.

[ and none of the legends really have the faith in leonard's goodness that barry does. ]

Apparently I need to build up an immunity again so it'll stop making my nose itch. Or invest in some Benadryl.

[speedforcer]

its only been a week for me

[back home. because again, he's not comparing this len with the one from eudio. if he keeps thinking it them maybe he'll start believing it.]

we're both here so
i guess there's plenty of time to get used to it

[atms]

[ and this is where he gives lie to the whole being a terrible person thing. ]

That'd require spending time together. You sure you want to do that, given everything?

[ by which he means eudio. ]

[speedforcer]

[this time, there's a delay. the question is one he's been asking himself from the moment he first spoke to len. canhe spend time around the man right now?]

honestly?
i don't know if it's a good idea or not but
i want to try

[atms]

Okay.
Can you play pool?

[speedforcer]

i've not played since college but
point me towards a library and give me a minute??

[atms]

Only if you're reviewing rules and not strategy.
And then when you've got some free time we'll play. Maybe get a beer.

[ start to really get to know each other and see how terrible this idea of spending time together is. ]
