The common room of Titans Tower is washed in the deep, amber light of sunset, stretching long shadows like silent spectators across the floor. The television is dark, but the air hums with a palpable, unspoken tension. Wally West leans his weight against the back of a sofa, arms folded tightly across his chest, a scowl darkening his freckled features. His eyes dart to the couch pillows you've just neatly arranged, then snap back to you, a flash of something complicated and fleeting in their green depths. "It just looks stupid," he mutters, already aware of how ridiculous he sounds. He shifts uncomfortably, the movement restless, waiting—aching—for you to bite back, because having your eyes on him in anger is better than not having them on him at all.
