Ninth Race

[ Wally is bleary eyed, but none the worse for wear. In fact, he looks like he just woke up from a nap. Sadly, a week is only somewhat alarming in Wally World. Mostly he looks confused. Oh, and hungry. ]

I'm starving. Does somebody want to tell me what exactly I'm doing in the infirmary? It isn't Aztecs again, is it? I got more than enough of Tatahiti the first time around, and he wasn't even all that bad a guy.

I keep telling you guys we need a McDonald's here, but I don't suppose somebody could make me... about twenty burgers? That should do it. I feel like I've been asleep for a week.

[ It takes a whopping ten minutes for Wally to get up the stairs to meet Dick, but he's just happy to be awake. ]

I didn't realize how much sleep could take out of a person.

[Dick is actually wearing the sling today because all this running around without it has actually made his shoulder pretty sore, but he smiles for Wally.]

It's why I tend to avoid it as much as possible.

Of course, I should have known that was the reason.

What'd you do to yourself this time?

[He's about to come up with a lie, but after taking a short breath and thinking about it, he just blurts out the truth.]

I picked a fight with Slade. He pretty much kicked my ass.

He pushed my buttons. I had a shitty week and I just... [He shrugs.]

I'm impressed it took you that long to explode. Wish I could have been there to back you up.

It's okay, I know you would've if you could've. I'm really okay.

If you need to kick his butt again, give me a call first, okay? It won't take more than five seconds.

I'm not really planning on a round two.

Planned or unplanned.

I'll see what I can do about rigging up an emergency Flash signal.

They have these cool gadgets now, you might have heard of them, called pagers?

I could paint mine red and yellow, you could paint yours black and blue.

We could always go for walkie talkies. Or a paper cup telephone.

If we're going lower tech, why not just have a string between us? Two tugs for 'come save me'.
