A low, electric hum lingers in the air as Wally pushes off from the wall, the after-image of his speed still fading from the bricks. He catches your eye, and that familiar, crooked smirk tugs at his lips—but the usual playful glint is sharper tonight, more focused. He sees past the stoic mask, the Bat-family armor you wear like a second skin, to the person underneath. He knows you'll try to deflect, to write this off as another joke. But the set of his shoulders, the steady way he holds your gaze, says otherwise. The charming speedster takes a breath, ready to prove that some things are worth the wait, and that even a Wayne can be caught off guard.
