❝ How much do you think Wally would laugh at us if we ended up asking him to run back to the 90s for it? ❞

Gar Logan @boybeast.bsky.social · 1d

Gotta look up places that sell Mountain Dew Red just in case.

[Watching Be More Chill next to Bart, and…]

I’d take it… for science…

But I’m cool enough already. Squip can’t do nothin’ on me.

Watching Be More Chill, and...

❝ Yeah... I mean, even you suck at pretending to be a regular guy most of the time. ❞ Bart joked, poking a little bit of fun at his friend while literally poking at Tim's cheek.

“Maybe you could get away with just one minute—“

Tim’s words cut off, with just a little pleasant surprise at the affection.

Blue eyes were a smidge fonder.

“Don’t think any capes are too good at acting ‘normal’. Needing to slow down for everybody else to keep up is hard.”

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 1d

❝ Uhm... Alright! I can fake that! ❞

Without saying a word, without asking at all, Bart just hugged Tim for a tiny little moment. Just another way to say "thank you."

❝ Sometimes I feel like... I don’t know, like I don’t remember how to act normal. And that's weird, you know? Because I can’t +

“Let’s say.. two— three minutes an equation? For most people? If they’re writing the steps all out.”

Was that right? Close enough, probably. Tim was faster, definitely. Especially if he’s doing it all mentally, very few people could keep up. He just.. lacked super levels of speed. —

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 2d

❝ I think I am going to need you to tell me what an acceptable pace is so I don’t freak out someone during tests. ❞

He hated it when Tim compared himself to others in that tone. He was amazing! Exceptional! He could put olympians and academics to fucking shame...

Tim was the best of them.

❝ Why? It's like a movie, it's a lot less fun if spoiled. ❞

Mary W. Bromfield @championofshazam.bsky.social · 1d

❛ It would’ve been nice to know. ❜

Was that a good enough explanation? Or did he want something more?

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 2d

❝ Why? ❞

It’s not like Bart could tell her much anyway, having been raised in a VR and all that.

But it wasn't in his nature to pass on chances to have fun.

“.. Twenty pages, Bart. That’d be a page per minute at that pace..? Of math?”

Staring, eyebrows raised. Amusement bitten back, only slightly.

“I’m horribly slow compared to you, or Kon even.”

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 2d

❝ I mean... It would have been like, what? Twenty minutes for you? Ten with a calculator? ❞

Bart had been born like this. Accelerated beyond belief. As much as he tried to understand others... Well, the concept of time and Bartholomew Allen didn’t exactly agree with one another.

𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 than qualified! Actually, I can just add you in the system myself, since B is being so slow.

Okay, yeah. No reason to not hire you now, definitely qualified

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 2d

He asked if I had one. I couldn't remember because I wasn't paying too much attention while you were doing that, so I went to ask aunt Joan and then you.

Rightt.. he didn’t offer to just make you an SSN?

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 2d

Let's just say he needs a really fast deliver guy for WE and I have to pay for school.

Tim watched, snorting at the time left for submitting the assignment. Speedsters…

“Yeah.. yeah it did.” A hum, nodding his head. Looking over.

“Any other last minute things you have to do-?”

BART ALLEN @impulsivespeedster.bsky.social · 2d

❝ Thanks! ❞ Once Tim finished, Bart just turned the paper in. Half an hour before closing, absolute victory! ❝ I mean... Eidetic memory and my head going super fast all the time had to have a bright side! ❞

“Of course you do. 20 pages of perfect math in— what? Two minutes? Super unfair-“

Tim was still skimming, correcting little errors.

“Looks alright?”
