Hey this is Bart you don't have to leave much of a message it's faster to call back anyway and even faster to read so maybe just text? Or tell me where you are I mean face to face is always crash too!

-----

Impulse! For when you need things delivered in a Flash! HaHA! If you need a delivery just tell me where to meet, if you need help say where you are I'll be there and text me next time.

You should probably come clean sooner rather than later.

voice

[moded]

[You know, it's weird. He thought only Wally was going to be able to make Bart feel guilty. They're family, he just figured lying to family always, always caused guilt.

Apparently lying to the guy who'd grow up and save Bart's life a few times is also in that guilt category.

... It's probably why he chickened out on explaining his past to Robin.]

Hey what can I say, speedster always a fan of sooner- uh. What am I coming clean on?

[Bart Allen is a lying little shit.

But... at least he sounds properly nervous?]

[real_archer]

[It's late and she can't sleep. How could she? All her life she's learned to bottle things up, keep things inside. All the little hurts and frustration and fears, all her stupid, terrible life...

Five more years.

This probably isn't a good idea. Right now she doesn't even trust her face or her voice.]

You knew, didn't you?

text

[moded]

[He should really have expected that Robin wouldn't be the only one who'd contact him about this.

He should have been prepared to see Artemis' name flash across his screen. And yet, he still stares at his phone, frozen, for a good five minutes before he can even bring himself to pick it up and read the message.

There's really no point in still lying, is there?]

yeah i did

[and it feels hollow and fake but he has to at least]

sorry

text

[performance]

I know I'm probably the last person you want to hear from right now, and that's all right. You don't have to reply to this.

I just wanted to thank you for being honest with me.

text

[moded]

[Bart sits on this text for most of the day. He read it as soon as his phone buzzed, brought his thumbs up to tap away a response and-

Found he really had no idea how to respond.

So, he's just gone about his day, glancing towards his phone at least once every hour, letting himself lapse into thought and sit still for a good few minutes before moving on. Ignoring his phone and that message and what he actually felt about all of this longer and longer.

He doesn't know if it's actually stress that's made him feel so exhausted, even if that's what Wally said. But... well. He has to consider it.

The reply doesn't come until late the next night.]

unless youre pale green with no nose definitely not the last person id want to hear from

[... bad joke, Bart. And one only he - and Blue - would get]

actually figured YOU didnt want to hear from ME

unless this is another info thing cause dude i dont have anything else i swear

[He's not even touching the fact that Robin's thanking him for some reason.]

text

[bioshift]

So what do you know about telepathy?

[ There's a point to this, I swear. And it isn't to do with 'hey can I pick your brain'. ]

We need to talk. Now.

telepathy

[moded]

[Wow he was not expecting telepathy. He doesn't use telepathy in 2016 he never does missions with Miss M. And the one time he did have an alien voice in his head it was during a mission.

So after a bit of looking around super startled and saying "Wh- Th- Miss M?" out loud he uh. Tries that thinking thing.]

Whoa. Uh, hi- is this how you're supposed to do this just think- oh! Do I have to think in a certain direction uuuggghhh I probably have to think in a direction this is so moded.
