At The Far End Of The Street, On My Side, Was The Silhouette Of A Man, Dancing. It Was A Strange Dance,

At the far end of the street, on my side, was the silhouette of a man, dancing. It was a strange dance, similar to a waltz, but he finished each “box” with an odd forward stride. I guess you could say he was dance-walking, headed straight for me.

[…] He was very tall and lanky, and wearing an old suit. He danced closer still, until I could make out his face. His eyes were open wide and wild, head tilted back slightly, looking off at the sky. His mouth was formed in a painfully wide cartoon of a smile.

smears   of   green,   streaks   of   blue,   dots   of   red   like   stars,   it's   a   tapestry   from   within   the   speed   force.   wally   wonders   how   much   dick   could   make   out;   how   many   of   these   fleeting   instances   he   remembers?   (   wally   remembers   most,   if   not   all.   )   /   a   single   long   second,   it   spans   a   thousand   years,   the   shifting   of   body   weight——   the   familiar   warmth,   let's   say   they're   both   lucky:   one   misstep   &.   they're   both   gonna   be   joining   those   smears   of   color.   not   exactly   the   best   way   to   start   a   reunion   /   date.   he   won't   have   it   hanging   over   his   head,   not   when   dick   already   had   plenty   to   dangle   already.

slowing,   wind   goes   from   roar   to   a   hushed   whimper,   all   the   colors   unstretched   becoming   plain.   only   stopping   when   they're   alone,   only   stopping   when   there's   no   danger,   no   risk,   no   nosey   reporters   eager   for   a   story   nearby.   luckily,   every   hero   kept   a   safe   house——   some   more   private   than   others,   but   this   one,   he   knew   better   than   most.   eyes   glow   with   faint   traces   of   the   speed   force,   jolts   of   blue   lightning   that   fade   to   reveal   warm   green   eyes.

❛   easy   !   easy   !   gentle   with   the   nose,   birdbrain.   ❜   head   shakes,   trying   to   brush   off   touch.   ❛   half   the   fun   of   going   out   to   dinner   is   enjoying   the   smells——   whatya   gonna   do   if   you   hurt   this   prize-winning   asset,   huh?   ❜   light   jest,   still,   despite   reaching   temporary   destination   ...   wally   doesn't   put   them   down.   grip   tightens   ever   so   slightly,   subconsciously   leeching   more   warmth,   eager   to   stretch   one   second   into   thousands.   features   flush,   a   faint   hint   of   red   against   light   skin.   ❛   i   missed   you,   dick.   ❜

bad habits die hard; especially when they don't consider it entirely bad. its always been a talent of his, the disappearing act, since he was a child long before he donned the cape of robin. the circus crew had to be good at not being seen, after all. nightwing had to be even better. he tends to forget that there can be exceptions to this rule----even decades later.

he remembers when he reappears, of course. the mild twinge of wally's mouth makes it obvious. the tiniest pang of guilt hits, but it's replaced with an easy smile and a quip. when he opens his mouth again, he nearly swallows air, and his i told you not to carry me like this is quickly abandoned.

------ " your treat ? " he says between the wind, when wally finally slows enough, when his mask is no longer the thing keeping him from going all but blind in the velocity. when it is safe, mis-matched colored fingers lift to poke the speedster directly on the nose.

" since you asked. date etiquette and all, KF. " a dramatic swing of the legs, a hollywood imitation of romcom tropes, though the wave of giddiness isn't fake.

then, quieter, more serious: " meant it, walls. i didn't mean to take off again. "

a   pause   [...]   dark   brown   eyes   find   them,   a   moment   contemplation——   an   unconscious   read.   pinching   lips,   knitting   brows,   faintest   hints   of   a   sneer.   [   frustration.   ]   for   a   moment,   it   lingers,   she   lets   it.   allowing   yusuke   a   second   of   reprieve   while   organizing   their   own   thoughts.   gotham   streets   were   far   from   places   to   tarry——   no   shortage   of   foxes   lurking   among   the   hens.  although;   could   she   claim   to   be   different?   if   foxes   stalk   hens,   then   [...]   bats   stalk   foxes,   strange.   lips   curve   into   a   gentle   smile,   cold   shell   wavering,   a   flicker   of   kindness   on   faintly   scarred   countenance.   she   thinks   about   sharing   this   with   the   others——   babs——   steph——   everyone   &.   realizes,   maybe,   she's   a   little   lucky   after   all.

if   a   harpy   becomes   a   mercy,   then   curiosity   remains.   (   such   creatures   were   welcome,   come   bear   tooth   and   claw,   learn   what   real   fangs   and   claws   provide.   )   upione   sired   nothing   less   than   a   weapon   of   war——   a   bundle   of   gnashing   fangs   and   daggers.   it   turns,   it   turns   &.   turns   again   till   it   bit   the   one   who   forged   it.   however,   curse   keeps   temperament   even.   scorn——   irritation——   blanket   themselves   with   compassion,   not   his,   but   the   growing   burden   of   sorcery.   it   tethers   reason   to   beast,   instincts   remain   ...   but   call   for   more   eloquence.   a   silver   tongue   instead   of   silver   sword.   cold   kindness.

it   goes   without   saying,   they'll   return.   these   lands   bewitch   him;   it   sings   its   song   of   magnificence   and   danger,   it   brings   forth   memories   of   inodal.   not   it's   castles,   it's   spires   nor   it's   people——   the   stillness   of   the   battlefield.   a   calm   that   captivates,   that   cannot   mask   the   edge   of   danger   looming   above,   a   guillotine   waiting   for   tender   throat.   (   his   throat——   perhaps.   )   a   numb   sense   of   excitement   ebbs   and   flows.   it's   all   they're   allowed,   brief   moments   of   genuine   feeling,   to   trace   that   piece   lost   to   time.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤCOAL MINER'S CANARY, WAS SHE ; ㅤㅤㅤㅤfor When Danger Was Imminent, She'd

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤCOAL MINER'S CANARY, WAS SHE ; ㅤㅤㅤㅤfor when danger was imminent, she'd give them at least a chance.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤCOAL MINER'S CANARY, WAS SHE ; ㅤㅤㅤㅤfor When Danger Was Imminent, She'd

Otraybia, was not kind ; it was a land, lavish, with beauty ; but plagued, by savagery. Her own cousins, molded by that same man, were feral, true. A HARPY, THOUGH, AMONG THE WORST OF THEM.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ( How she managed to be anything but, was still unknown. )

Ears, perk'd and keen, listen, for, it would be rude, to give naught, the chance to defend ones' self. A place, so far from this, but it sounds as if it's a UNIVERSES' DIVIDE ; she thought it impossible. Brow creases, so slightly at that term ; GODLING. GODLING. It, as a term, was not unheard of, for ZEUS was known well, to dabble in the artistry of creating children, with near any but his WIFE.

Gaze does turn soft, shoulders taught, now somewhat relaxed. He'd no reason, to raise hand against her, but within tree, she'd remain. There is pity, in the depths of her soul, for any fostered of a GOD ; even if she, herself, does not know the Sisyphus - like trials, they were to endure. She could not imagine it an easy thing, to live up to. To defy.

❝ ... So you have. And you will wander, still, should you not leave this place. I speak, not out of ire, of wrath and hatred. Many, GODLING, and hero alike, do not escape this forest.

ㅤㅤㅤA harpy, upon you, is a mercy. What else dwells, will not be so kind. ❞

She wonders, in idle, his disposition. His place, his temperament. He could be fiery and foul, as some here, were known to be ; perhaps jovial and good-hearted, as others.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤPerhaps, neither.

ㅤㅤ❝ ... I know the way ; out of this place. I travel it, so rarely, but I know. ❞
