"I DO NOT BRING FORGIVENESS WITH ME, NOR FORGETFULNESS. THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN FORGIVE ARE DEAD; THE LIVING HAVE NO RIGHT TO FORGET" {Chaim Herzog}
"I don't look to vampire-y do I?" I asked, spinning in a quick circle dressed in my Around the World outfit. Wally chuckled, shaking his head, "Good, I was not going to change a fourth time. I should have done this one from the start. Actually, scratch that because I don't even know why I'm doing this."
"Because you love me," Wally sang flirtatiously.
Humming in agreement, I ran a hand through Wally's hair to both flatten and ruffle it. Once I was satisfied I grabbed my coat, a knee-length black number that had quickly become one of my favorites.
"Well, now you look like a vampire," Wally mumbled, grinning sheepishly when I sent him a warning glare.
"Two hours at most, alright? That's all I'm gonna give them to convince me they aren't trash."
"Two hours," Wally confirmed, "Just some dinner. We don't even have to stay for a drink after."
We left my room and traversed down the many hallways and staircases- and in one case a hidden elevator- until we reached the Batcave so we could go through the zeta-tube.
"Finals are killing me, but it's two more years after this then I'm scotch free," Wally said conversationally as he typed in Central City's location, "Are you planning on going to college?"
"Bruce and I have talked about that actually, and he enrolled me in online courses last week so I can work at my own pace. I've been meaning to tell you. I'm going into psychiatry, to help other people who've been through traumatic experiences."
"And you say you aren't worthy of being a hero," Wally scoffed, stepping back when the portal lit up.
"Jason thinks I'm an Outlaw, I lean more in that direction," I chuckled as we stepped towards it.
"Black Rose, B-twenty-seven."
"Kid Flash, B-oh-three."
We emerged in Central City's STAR Labs. I looked around in amazement; it was nearly entirely abandoned like it had been since the Particle Accelerator exploded years ago and the Flash got his powers.
"Flash or cab?" Wally questioned, leading me out of the expansive building.
"Cab. I've worked too hard on my hair, and I don't want to throw up in the bushes."
So, we hailed a cab outside. It was a silent ride to the West residence, the two of us just holding hands. It was enough support for the both of us while we mentally prepped for dinner with Wally's parents.
