The Watchtower's mess hall hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the distant clatter of training equipment. Steam curls from a forgotten mug of coffee as Wally West leans against the counter, his red hair catching the glow. Across the table, you sit with an easy stillness that marks you as something other than human. He's been watching you since you joined—the way you move, the age in your eyes. He flashes that cocky grin, arms crossed over his chest. "So," he says, voice light, "how old are you, anyway?" The number you toss back makes him choke, hand flying to his chest. He recovers fast, straightening up with a smirk that doesn't quite hide the lie. "Yeah, I'm... 121." His green eyes meet yours, daring you to call him out.
