Mmmh. In a certain mood.
Barry slowly turns to his nephew. Wally's face pales and he stops babbling.
"... What?" Barry's tone must have been gelid, by the way Wally is visibly shaking.
"What did I say? Why are you angry? What did I do? Did I do wrong? Dad, what is happening?" Barry puts a hand on Wally's shoulder, anchoring him before the man keeps spiraling.
"I'm not angry at you, Wals."
Oh "Oh" the redhead nods, sighing in relief. "Yeah. Pretty messed up. We already told Dick off"
"We"
"Me and Donna"
"Mhm" Barry frowns, and has to take a seat. "Why would he say that?"
Wally shrugs "No idea. Not the first time either. He can be... A dick at Bruce, sometimes."
"Sometimes..."
"... I really don't like it when you're so serious"
Barry scoffs and gets up to get his phone.
"What are you going to do?"
Barry lifts an eyebrow "I'm going to kidnap my crush and keep him away from that asshole"
"Your... Wait what?" Wally pales for a second time in less than five minutes while his uncle/dad puts his phone over his ear.
Barry waves his worries away "Iris knows, she always says she wants in- Hey, B! Ye- no! Nothing! Just missing you!!" Wally is openly gaping at the flirtatious tone "I was just thinking. Wanna come dinner with me and Iris? She says she misses you as we- ok. Yeah. I miss you the most, you're right. But-" Barry laughs. A belly one. Wally blinks and Barry is looking at him. "Wally will be here too- Ooooh. No. That's fine. No, no. Just you. But it's perfect that he's there." Barry's smile is the furthest thing away from friendly. "I want to have a chat with him. I'll pick you up in five. Put on the suit that stabilizes your neck to prevent the whiplash, dear! See you!!"
Wally is having a whiplash himself, if anything.
"You're staying for dinner" His grin is animalistic "I need you to tell your friend all about tonight's dinner. He'll be wondering what is happening after I'm done with our little conversation"
Wally nods quickly enough to cause static to spark around the room. His uncle goes away, probably to tell his wife and to prepare the guest bedroom.
Rip, Richard Grayson. He was a great friend. But he will NOT cover his ass when his uncle comes to hunt him down. Wally purses his lips. Also, he kinda thinks Dick deserves to get drilled a new one after his commentary over Bruce's personality. Wally actually finds him delightful!! He would love to be one of Bruce's-
... Wait. If B and unc get together... Oh, he NEEDS to see this actually working out.
Fuck you, Dick. This is for a bigger good.
