"You will. Now, come on."
Ralph got out of the car and walked over to Barry's side. xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
You know, if he'd be feeling any better, he would've called him out on that. He'll hear from him later, /fucker/.
He took a deep breath in, eyes slowly opening again but not looking at the other.
“I want to /sleep/.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
Ralph parked and turned to Barry with a flat look.
"Look, fucker, you're Barry Allen. You can snap out of whatever the hell this all is. You're gonna eat." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
“I /can't/.”
He's not looking up, even more so, he closes his eyes. Way to be cooperative, huh?
“I can't, I cant, I can'tIcan'tIcan't -” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"Look up at the sky. They're asleep."
He pulled into the parking lot.
"You can sleep after you eat, okay?" xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
“They're not!”
Too loud - he startled himself by speaking up.
“They're talking, screaming, dreaming - I want to dream, she shouldn't be here. I want to sleep.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"Hey, buddy," Ralph glanced at him. "It's daytime. The stars are asleep." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
“The stars,”
It was a mumble, followed by Barry pulling his knees up against himself; attempting to curl up in a ball in his seat.
“They're screaming. Dreaming. Gleaming.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
Ralph furrowed his brows.
"What's too loud?" xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
“No, can't.”
Yeah, he's not going to clear this up either - there are no explanations to his words. He's just staring out od the window, mumbling.
“They're too loud,” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"I'll get you some chow. Once we're at your place."
He nodded. xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Now, /that/ he does know. Vaguely.
“Right. Yes. I know that.
-- I'm hungry.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"And we're superheroes, part-time."
He drove out of the parking lot and towards Barry's loft. xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Sound fake.
He's unsure whether to smile or cry, he decides to go for a forced, small smile.
“Hm. Okay.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
RALPH DIBNY.
Ralph got in the driver's seat and nodded.
"We're private investigating partners, buckaroo." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Reed Richards.
“Oh,”
Blink blink.
“And I know you?”
Into the car he goes. xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
THE ELONGATED MAN—
Ralph lead Barry outside to his car.
"I do." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Rubber man ?????? mr fantastic is that u ?????
He's too busy being confused by what is going on that he doesn't protest, he just lets it all happen.
“Do you know me?” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"I'll take you."
Stretches his arm out to where Barry was standing, wraps it around his shoulders, and pulls him towards the exit. xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Now he's pointing at himself again, still very confused.
“I want to go home.
Not be here.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"You're in STAR Labs, dude. Your labs." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
He showered this morning ! Or maybe it was yesterday morning - point is, he's trying.
“Where am I?”
He's not even answering the question. xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"Wow, and I thought what happened to me was traumatising."
Why does he look like a caveman.
"Ralph Dibny? Ex-detective? Ring any bells?" xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
He looks confused(tm).
He's having a bad day, don't mind him.
“ – who are you?” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
"I entered the room. You're looking for the exit."
Gestures.
"Here it is." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
B l i n k s.
He confusedly points at the exit, then at Ralph, then at the exit again.
“How do you know that?” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
THAT'S IT. xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Steps away from the exit.
"Bartholomew." xitter.cf/quickprocidens/status/…
Turns around.
Blinks.
“ -- huh.” xitter.cf/ExpandingPI/status/100…
