Beep Beep Zip Tang.

The Flash is on the job - pondering a vacation from said job.

He's feeling a bit burned out lately, but he has no idea what he'd do if he took time off.

He's heard a few reports about some funky orb going around, so he's trying to find it and corral it for study.

He comes across it sooner than he expected, and he's not quite ready for what it's going to show him...

"Some of us do, dear."

She gives Wally's head a smooch on her way past with a tray of tea and cupcakes...with sprinkles.

"He's late?" asked as she puts the tray next to Barbara...she'll never call her Babs...then peers at the freshly colored toes.

"Ew. Pink?"

"Speaking of someone who isn't too old to spank...."

Wally mystically has another cupcake in his hand as she settles next to him, careful not to disturb the toe painting.

"Only if you spank her for being so cheap. I bribe him with way more."

"It's not pink. It's coral. There's a difference." Mary tosses her damp hair over her shoulder as she enters the room, fresh from the shower.

"Gesundheit," she replies, leaning over and stealing it from his outstretched hand with a deviant grin.

She leans into Wally and chuckles into his ear.

"Same thing happened with the waffle. When will you learn?"

Her eyes flick to Barbara to make sure she's not stressing her husband's absence too much. Her hair conveniently hides the actions. This much time with the League under the training of a certain batlike person has made her much better at internalizing things.

Meanwhile, Wally gets a rib pinched playfully.

"Gotta have a bit more patience, dear. That means sitting still for more than 3 minutes."

Mary flops into another couch. "That'll come in handy if you have to take up a retirement job at Kinko's." Then she takes a large bite of the cupcake.

"No eating on the couch," Babs says automatically. "Zee, I don't think Wally can sit still for 3 seconds."

[identity profile] zatanna-z.livejournal.com 2007-09-29 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
She lifts a brow at Barbara and smirks.

"Given the right incentive..."

She doesn't even bother looking at Wally's hand, instead focusing on the cupcake in her own.

"slianregnif no sgnoleb hsilop liaN."

The pink...er, coral...stuff migrates to Wally's fingertips.

"Oh, it's you," Babs congratulates Wally. "Brings out your eyes."

"Aunt Dinah could loan you hers." Mary's polished off the cupcake by now, and now she's moved on to licking the crumbs off her fingers. "Where's Dad, anyway?"

[identity profile] zatanna-z.livejournal.com 2007-09-29 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Watch it." Cupcake frosting graces his nose via the careful appliction by a fingertip. "You like my fishnets even after my additional poundage."

Her eyes slide once more to Barbara at her daughter's question.

He'll get a cushion flung at his head for that. "Not half as goofy as yours!" Yes, she's aware that includes her father.

A familiar voice cuts through her statement.

Violence so early in the evening, kiddo? I thought I'd raised you better than that.

[identity profile] oracle-watching.livejournal.com 2007-09-29 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Dick!" Babs' face lights up. "Where've you been? I was starting to wonder if you'd forgotten...."

[identity profile] -nightwing-.livejournal.com 2007-09-29 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
When have I ever forgotten?

He steps across the room towards her, taking a small, carefully wrapped item from his jacket pocket, and spares a grin for his best friend.

Still unbending paper clips, Wally?
