Boo
stratataisen asked: Talon!Birdflash - “Boo.”
“Boo,” whispers an unexpected voice, making Wally shout and throw the book he was holding away from him.
The red headed speedster spins around, quickly catching sight of the Talon hanging upside down from the support beams. The dark blue of Talon’s uniform and the weird goggle are things that Wally has become uncomfortably used to in the past few months. He always feels like he can just see the other man out of the corner of his eye.
“What are you doing here Talon?” Wally demands.
“Wanted to see your face Flash,” Talon says with a slight smile, ignoring the slight flinch Wally gives at the new codename.
God, Uncle Barry…but no, he’d died a hero, Uncle Barry had died a good death.
“Wanted to see how you were dealing with things,” Talon adds, flipping off the support beam. “New codename, new responsibilities…was wondering if you were going to have time to keep playing around with me.”
Wally can tell Talon is lying, but he’s not sure about what. Or at least he wasn’t telling the full truth. The lead Talon was a strange man. Gorgeous, mercurial, lethal, dangerous…but he could be incredibly kind at times. He could show hints that he could have been something else, could have been a hero instead of a killer and the thought of Talon as a hero always makes him ache.
“Don’t worry Birdboy, I’ll always have time to fight you.”
