So I can't say I exactly get it- but just cause we're fictional doesn't mean we're not real, right? Stupid question. We're here. We're real.

What I mean is- and I can never exactly wrap my head around it - should've probably sent a letter in to that one comic writer about it - but it's like fiction is this third place between "reality" and "unreality," right?

Or does anyone know that one author with the idea that all universes are really just fiction written by someone else? Kinda has me worried for some of those fanfic 'verses.

And it's not like "real life" back home was any less strange than fiction. I mean, geeze- we had aliens flying about keeping us safe.

Oh, and yeah- the name's Wally West. Guess it's nice to make all of your fictional acquaintances.

Hey! I am too older than Damian! And bigger than him! ... a little.

[But he laughs, and squeezes Wally's hand again, feeling lighter than he had, realizing Zatanna had disappeared while he'd been inside Corsair.]

Let's go, before you collapse in starvation or something.

[Of course, it's the best ice cream place he takes him to. Hands down. He opens the door for him, then smirks.]

Knock yourself out, watch out for that bainfreeze, you can only do so much with what you have. Butterscotch is pretty good.

Uh-huh, then you'd have to try dragging me around, and I don't think you've got the strength for that, little man. [ The speedster chuckled, and then stepped through the open door. The cool creamy scent of ice cream filled the air and it set the speedster's tummy to rumbling again. ]

[peckish4action]

... can we try that, actually? Just in case? After ice-cream, and somewhere less public, though.

I mean, I wouldn't want to let you down if the situation required that I get you away!

[Yeah, even Dick's salivating at the scent.]

It's hot outside, isn't it.

[ Wally gives his best friend a look. He doesn't know if he should take this seriously or not, but what the hey. ]

If you're that bored, fine. And yeah... so can't wait for winter to come around alrea-

[ A thought crosses his mind as they reach the counter. ]

They're not gonna have us go to school here, y'think?

[peckish4action]

Hey, you're asking that as if it's ever been a problem.

[sciencewhizard]

Well, I figured we'd be safe from that here. What good's it gonna do us "fictional" folk?

[peckish4action]

They want to integrate us into 'real' society. Of course, we don't get that here.
