It's—
It's four AM.
Ralph morphed his face onto his arm and stretched it to the door, opening it and answering it.
"What?"
"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…
