❛ right , but i thought you didn't know hal ... and guy . ❜ lying was never a good stance to take in the face of the infamous lois lane . raising her brow at him . intrigued , actually . who waltzing in like that ? with a pitch on why she should interview him , it was odd . very odd . but she's done the superhero expose . remember , she wrote : I SPENT THE NIGHT WITH SUPERMAN ! she didn't approve of the headline but as perry once said : there are three things that sell papers ; tragedy , sex and superman . but still , the tagline was dumb . she'd stand by that .

arms folded , he explained the premise of back to the future as if she had never seen the movie . ( he's really being serious . give me strength . ) ❛ time travel , the outfit , the constant blabber ... you really need to calm down , man . ❜ why was she the one superheroes came to ? she's not their press agent , but it's starting to feel like it . pursing her lips at his reference to the most egotistical man on the planet . the fact he's not metropolis' new hero , he isn't even from there . and hello ? there's a huge billboard outside of the city literally saying : WELCOME TO METROPOLIS ! THE HOME OF SUPERMAN ! letting out a defeated sigh . the roll of purple eyes , it's a slow news day too . he's lucky . ❛ so you're not from metropolis ? if this is going to shut you the hell up , i'll do it . ❜

sure,  that had been a lie,  but booster wasn't counting on being believed.    he is a bumbling idiot extraordinaire:   it's the booster gold certified trademark.    someone once noted that it must be easier for booster to make friends since he doesn't have a secret identity   ━━━   he's just booster gold.    but the issue lies in no one knowing who booster gold really is.    and no,  he isn't trying to fix that with an interview from metropolis' star journalist   ━━━   quite the opposite,  in fact.    still, any publicity is good publicity !

booster laughs at her telling him that he should calm down   ━━━   but with his personality and image.    ( he would offer to take his shirt off,  based on the comment about his outfit,  but he is rather fond of having all of his limbs attached to his body. )          ❝ i moved to metropolis after college. by your logic, superman isn’t from metropolis either ! ❞          he isn't going to entertain the  ❛ does that mean you're inviting me back to your apartment ? ❜  that's on the tip of his tongue.    he wouldn't mean it either way,  but it's pretty clear he is already testing her patience.    do you think clark could hear him ? 

❝ sweet ! does that mean you're spending the night with me tonight ? ❞ on second thought, that isn't much better . . . perhaps he should learn to think before speaking.

@isfogo SO NORMAL about this

damian, to the credit of his short-tempered reputation, is unphased. he watches from beneath his hood, smirk knocked in bright teeth.   ❝   he also said: it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it,   ❞   he leers closer, smirk splitting into a grin.   ❝   i understand that is a hard concept for your un-educated brain to comprehend so i will put it simply: it does not matter what language he spoke, his message remains the same.   ❞.   @boastergold​ ♥

booster beams. his time has come. sometimes, the universe simply alligns in such a way that is utterly satisfying. it just so happens that booster had met plato the other day. ( he is aware that is not the same person, thank you very much. ) which means, of course, that he had done his reading ━━━ even if he will be forgetting most of it again over the coming weeks. ❝ actually, that's a famous misquotation ❞ , he simply says, feeling perhaps a little too satisfied with trying to best a pre-teen. he's forgotten what aristotle had actually said, but he doesn't need to eleborate. google already exists. ❝ sooo.... what message did you say he was trying to convey ? because i think it matters which language he spoke. ❞ don't annoy the kids, bruce said. ( although, perhaps he had said that for booster's sake. )

booster & bea dancing in the 2009 holiday special.

❛ i'd like to see him try and put me back on monitor duty. he can take it up with the corps, they want me back in space as soon as possible. ❜   well, he assumes they do. he avoided asking when he left oa, plausible deniability as tempting as always, but the white lie comes easily enough when booster is his only witness. hal doubts he'll care enough to investigate an off hand comment about lantern schedules   ( and, frankly, he doesn't think guy would be inclined to make him a spreadsheet if booster was bored enough to bring it up. they've both definitely got better things to do. )   drums idly on the table, steadily cooling food altogether forgotten as he mulls over the question booster seems so determined to get a proper answer to, before he settles for a lazy shrug as he slouches back in his seat.   ❛ there's probably a dozen angel's games i missed that were worth seeing, if i have to pick something. didn't know you were running a survey on time travel, booster. ❜   and maybe it's be a pointless exercise, turning the question back on the bona fide time traveller who's likely seen more than hal ever could imagine, but it feels like the natural response to booster's curiosity. how is he supposed to resist the opportunity?   ❛ where would you go? no heroics, we're talking leisure activities. fair's fair. ❜

[boastergold]

❝ survey ?    no, not at all ! if i was, i’d be better off questioning barry or clark. ❞          not to sound too much like bruce ( god forbid ), but hal wasn’t wrong to absentmindedly question booster’s motives.    not all of them needed to be detectives,  but all of them did need to realize that too many questions were too many for a reason.    not just because your friends can become your enemies   ━━━   something booster had experience with,  unfortunately   ━━━   but also because it’s never a good sign when the focus shifts.    take,  for example,  a minor character suddenly getting too much screen time on a television series.    something bad is bound to happen.    so,  perhaps,  it would be best to pay attention when a time traveller started asking very specific questions about things that shouldn’t matter.    ( even if no one knows he is still actively traveling through time.    it’s for the best. )    not that booster is thinking about any of that,  no sir.    he simply leans back a bit and looks up to one of the ceiling lights that hangs above their heads like a watchman.    he hums for a moment.          ❝ i’d probably go home and attend the carnival my mom couldn’t take us to in 5th grade. ❞          ellen carter hadn’t had much,  let alone the money to fund a trip to the carnival.    booster can’t call it a regret,  as it hadn’t been in his control anyway,  but it would be a nice thing to make his younger self feel satisfied with.          ❝ so ... 2454 - ish ? ❞

max really didn't have to do booster like that.
