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...

She shifts against him but then pulls back, her words felt against his lips as much as heard, "Is it everything you thought it would be?"

"I have. You're the one who doesn't remember."

Her fingers slide against the back of his neck, "And you're the one who suggested it would be different now."

"You have to know I'm not casual."

Her hands slide down to his shoulders, around his arms and then slowly down his back.

Selina leans back against the counter again.

Her arms don't fold across her chest but her physical posture is quickly, distinctly closed.

Selina chuckles, shaking her head, "No. I'm just not a casual person." A small pause, "I haven't been in a very long time."

That is nice.

But she won't be so easily distracted.

"If I didn't we wouldn't be having this conversation but I'm not a one night stand, Wally." Apparently she's paid some amount of attention to him and his activities.

At that, Selina looks away from Wally. There are a lot of things going on as she thinks on how to answer the question. "I don't know."

"Things haven't... worked out recently."

"I think he's with Diana." Her voice is soft, some might even say wounded.

It has been awhile since things went downhill. And she can't blame either of them for what happened. As long as someone can make him happy. She obviously can't.

"Wow. They're right. You really are fast."

Her voice is still soft but her tone is deadpan.

Selina is about to say something but she remembers something. That went so well last time.

"Maybe you're right. Last time I did that it didn't go so well." His arms are still penning her in but she turns away from him as if she's going to try to walk away.

Selina turns her head slowly to look at him.

"I'm tired of fighting. I'm tired of hurting and wanting all the time." That isn't saying what she wants but maybe saying what she doesn't want is close enough.

"I don't know."

Selina reaches out and runs her thumb across his cheek.

"I don't want to hurt you."
