That one's easy. When you're doing the right thing.
I know that those words sound kind of subjective, but they're not. Not really. Everyone knows what it means to do the right thing--it's what's best for the world around you, and the people around you and all of that--along with staying true to yourself. I mean, honestly? Following the law is not always the right thing to do. Not to belabor a historical point or anything, but I'm pretty sure you can all think of some bright, shining examples where the law was just plain wrong. I know I can.
And not even necessarily historically. I mean--technically? I break the law every time I put on a red suit and race out to catch Captain Cold or Mirror Master, or take care of some kind of League business. I'm not a cop or a member of some law enforcement agency (though, I guess you could say that the League kind of counts, but we don't have the sanction of all the nations that we go to to stop bad things from happening to people). But as the Flash--I do the right thing, and the League does the right thing, and so even if we're technically acting against the law, it's okay. The law isn't necessarily the be all and end all of what's right.

Uh--neither. I'm not really planning on leaving a body behind, you know? That... typically doesn't happen for us. Speedsters, that is. We become a part of the Speed Force when we die, which is kind of like heaven, and kind of... indescribable. You'd have to experience it to understand. Anyway, the point is, it takes us body and soul. Not to be blasphemous or anything, but you know what happened to Jesus Christ? How he ascended into heaven straight from the physical plane, and all of his physical parts along with him? It's pretty much like that.
Hey, maybe Jesus was a speedster. It kind of makes sense, with all the stuff he got done in such a short amount of time. I mean--all that traveling! Well, maybe not. He had all those disciples around. One of them probably would have written it down if he'd noticed Jesus running as fast as we do.
Anyway--funeral arrangements, right? Well. There'd be no body, and I'm not affiliated with any kind of church or anything, so... I'm thinking party. Not some big mournful funeral like we had when we thought Superman died. I'm talking about the party we had up on the Watchtower afterward. Where we shared the happy memories and laughed, and all that. That's what I want. People getting together and having a good long laugh at all the asinine things I've done. I mean--I can't be the only one who remembers when I made a complete fool of myself on live TV. Or that tricked-out van. Or any of the thousands of other dumb things I've said and done.
Anyway, I don't want people to mope. Knowing me--and I think I do, by now--I'll have gone out helping people. Doing some good. That's pretty much how I'd want to go. No regrets on this end--so none on that end either, okay?
So--yeah. That.

TM 278--What are you wearing?
Apr. 22nd, 2009 03:48 amUh, really? This isn't some phone sex thing, right, because--I have to say--that kind of makes me a little uneasy. I mean--sex is fun and everything, but phone sex just feels a little weird. Not that I've done it. I mean the idea of phone sex seems weird. Isn't it basically just masturbation? While you're talking to someone really far away? I don't know. I'm... pretty much never in the position where I can't get to the person I want to be with in a you know what, so... it just doesn't work for me. I'd much rather be with the person, not just talking to them and wishing we could be together.
...Oh. What am I wearing? You mean you actually want to know, and it's not just some lead-in to phone sex?
Okay.
Well, uh, the costume. You know. Red. Lightning bolt on the chest. Cowl. Cool ear things.
I mean--I'm the Flash. What else should I be wearing?

Apr. 2nd, 2009 12:01 am"When can we be superheroes like you, Dad?"
Definitely dread that one, even if I know it's coming, and someday really soon. I mean--Jai and Iris are--physically--not much younger than I was when I started out. So, yeah, I know it's going to come, and soon, and I... really don't know how I'm going to handle it.
I mean--it would be kind of hypocritical if I said no, right? I mean--I did the Kid Flash thing, and now I'm doing the Flash thing, and it would be really really wrong to tell my kids no. Right?
Except I look at my pre-adolescents, and I kind of have to ask myself just a little... "What were all those guys thinking?" I mean--kids? Really? Even kids with powers. Just... I'm not saying I have any regrets ,because I really don't. I like who I am. I like my life. I like the places my weird and wacky life has taken me. I just... would probably think twice before introducing a kid to it. The things we do? Crazy dangerous. And I'm not sure I want my babies in that kind of danger.
So... yeah. Dreading that question. A lot.

TM 271--Write about a time you were sick.
Feb. 28th, 2009 02:02 amUm... I haven't really been sick since I was a kid. Really. No headcolds, no flus, nothing like that. I mean--I don't like to brag or anything, but I have kind of a kickass immune system. It takes a lot to make a speedster sick, and whatever it would take... I haven't had it.
Well--except that one time, but it doesn't really count, does it? I mean--it was magic. I think. It was that time that the Amazon chick that wasn't really an Amazon decided that all men had to die, and managed to create a virus that attacked anyone with a Y chromosome.
And I am definitely a man.
So, yeah, I guess I was sick. Chills, aches, and this weird thing where a lot of my veins and stuff stood out so I had blue lines all over me. And my vision was blurry and I was weak. Then there was the long period of unconsciousness. It completely sucked. And if that's what being sick is usually like, I'm glad I don't really have to deal with it all that often.
Okay, yes, it was kind of an extreme case, but still. Not en experience I'm looking forward to repeating. Ever.

Jan. 26th, 2009 02:34 amIn medias res--I remember that one from English class. It's like when you start a story from the middle, and then tell the beginning while you're telling the rest of the story. With flashbacks and memories and stuff. I always thought stories like that were pretty cool.
But what the Latin really means is "in the middle of things." Oh, shut up. Maybe I don't do a whole lot of big words and Latin phrases and stuff like that. I usually leave that to the other guys, but that doesn't mean I don't know what they mean. I mean, come on--I work with some pretty damn smart people. I know I'm kind of a joke, but I need to understand when they're talking about.
Anyway, that's not really what I meant to say. We're still doing free association, here, right? Okay, so--in the middle of things? Always. As part of the League, there's always some big fight or another, and I'm not exactly a sidelines kind of guy. I like being in the middle of the action. Same goes for when I'm in Central City, on my own. Always in the middle of things, doing stuff, being seen... It's who I am.
So, I guess in medias res: Me. Always in the middle of things.

Wait, what? I mean—isn't the point of a present that it's something surprising and unexpected? How can something not be what you were hoping for if it's surprising and unexpected? That... I don't know. Seems a little ungrateful, you know?
But, okay. A present that wasn’t what I was hoping for? I… don’t know that I’ve ever had one of those. I get stuff a lot as the Flash. People in Central City tend to give me a lot of food, and—I have to say—I’m totally not complaining. My food bills are already pretty astronomical, and—yeah—every little bit helps. So food doesn’t really count, because it’s a gift, and it’s pretty much exactly what I expect it to be.
So… well, there’s the Flash Museum. Which was kind of a gift. At least—that’s how I saw it. And it was so much more than I would ever have hoped for or expected. And Bats and Orion showing for the dedication was just… yeah. Again—so much more than I could have hoped for. But I don’t know if that counts, because the question implies disappointment, and I’m basically never disappointed by a present so… whatever.
Anyway, I’m outta here. Like Robocop said—somewhere there is a crime happening.

TM 259--"I don't understand..."
Nov. 30th, 2008 04:52 amThere's a lot of stuff I just don't understand. I mean--I don't think I'm a stupid person. I work in a lab, and I'm pretty good at it. I know what I'm doing, and how to look at evidence in a way that makes it tell me its story. Sometimes I run off without waiting for all the information, but I don't think that makes me stupid. Just impatient.
But anyway--there are things I just don't get.
Like Bats, and his big dark and broody routine. I mean--I know Gotham needs a different kind of hero than Central City and everything, but I really don't think it would kill the guy to crack a smile once in a while, you know? The Gotham underworld is not going to be less terrified of a Batman that occasionally smiled. If anything, I'd think they'd be more afraid. What can be more scary than having a guy grin while he's kicking your ass?
And Supes? I have no idea how he does it. It's not really a walk (or run) in the park being the Flash, but I think that if the world needed me as often as it needs him, I'd go completely nuts trying to be everywhere at once. So, uh, way to not lose it, man!
GL has a huge amount of responsibility with that ring of his... and I won't even pretend to understand how that thing works. Put it on the list of things Wally is not qualified or capable of dealing with. And I'm pretty okay with that, actually. Leave that to John and Kilowog... Man, we have to get together again sometime...
As for Diana, Shayera, and J'onn... I don't understand how they do it. They live apart from everything they've ever known, and how much does that have to suck for them? I really don't understand how they function on a day to day basis. I've been away from Earth, and away from home, and I couldn't wait to get back. Having "back" not be home would be impossible for me. I have no idea how I'd deal with it, and I really don't know how they do.
Basically, I have no idea how this team works as well as it does. We're so different, and we all work in such different ways, but somehow... it works. And I guess I sound a little afterschool special-ish right now, but... It's pretty cool.

I'm... not really the kind of guy that goes around scaring people, you know? That's not really what I do. I'm the funny man. Comic relief guy. I'm not the guy that runs around scaring people or being intimidating and threatening and stuff. That's Bats. And Hawkgirl. And Supes and Diana too, to an extent, though they're not really big on scaring people either.
Except bad guys. They scare them.
I don't think I even scare bad guys.
Which is pretty fine with me, actually. I don't think I want to be someone that scares people. I like being the guy that people see running around, and it makes them smile. I like being someone who's easy to talk to. It's nice that the people in Central City treat me like a friend, not like someone they need to be afraid of. I don't think there's really anything wrong with that.

Okay, seriously? Haven't we talked about this before? About me and alcohol? And the utter lack of effect it has on me? Every embarrassing thing I've done has been done while sober. Every. Single. One.
Like that time I went in TV to try to defend the Justice League against that jerk that was slandering us on his stupid talk show (The Just Us League, my foot. As if we don't do everything we do to help people). Yeah--that was me, completely sober, and you know what, I'm not even that embarrassed about it.
It was the right thing to do, you know? Even if it made me look like a complete ass and an idiot. I'd like to think that if I hadn't been talking to that jerk, and having him twist all of my words around I wouldn't have sounded like such a complete moron, but... I probably would have. I was so mad that he was saying such awful things about my friends that... I kind of lost my temper.
And if you think you sound stupid when you lose your temper and your brain stops filtering what comes out of your mouth, just think of how awful it is when you're me. All if the dumb things to say crowd to the front, and I usually say the dumbest.
So--yeah. That was pretty embarrassing.

What are friends for?
Oct. 5th, 2008 05:15 pm[RP for girlfromkrypton]
It was probably a good thing Wally had just gone shopping--there was food in the apartment, and he had promised Kara food. And clean. He should clean up.
He zipped through the apartment, putting away spare uniform pieces and getting rid of the pile of pizza boxes. Kara probably wouldn't care much about last night's snack attack, but seeing the pile in the corner made him feel like a bit of a slob. Okay, well, a lot of a slob, but who wanted to spend their time housecleaning when there was no company coming, anyway?
He dumped the boxes into the dumpster, and ran back up to the apartment. He didn't think the wind was too noticeable to his neighbors.
Kara wasn't there yet. But the apartment was clean. He sat down to wait. Then stood up. Maybe he'd find a book.

Okay, let's just... not even talk about that. I'm not a very good spy. I'm not even a bad spy. I'm a terrible spy. I don't really do subterfuge or secrets very well... Well, you know, except for the obvious.
Okay, let me put it this way. There was this one time, where I was accidentally mind-swapped with Lex Luthor. While he was running the secret society of very bad guys. So--basically, for all intents and purposes, I was the boss of the bad guys, and there was no reason for them to question who I was or what my motives were.
You would think I could at least have figured out where they were keeping their super secret base, right? No. I couldn't figure out anything. I had everything I could do just keeping them from realizing that it was me inside Lex's head.
Some spy, huh?
And don't even get me started on the thing in the men's room. Well, of course I didn't wash my hands! I wasn't--I was trying to get in touch with the League! Still--awesome comeback on my part.

Okay, this one's easy. I'm in the Justice League, right? We negotiate all the time--with the bad guys. And sometimes with the good guys. Or with people who are on two different sides of a conflict where there are no good guys or bad guys.
We negotiate, okay?
So--Step One: Make sure Bats is there. What? In any successful negotiation, you need Bats there to intimidate the heck out of both sides of the issue. That goes double if there are bad guys around, because for some reason, the rest of us just aren't as scary as him. And I don't get that at all.
I mean--we have a guy who's strong enough to crush coal into diamonds with his hands, and who shoots lasers out of his eyes. GL has a seriously powerful magic ring, which is limited only by his imagination (which, okay, I love you, man, but yours could use some work--read a fantasy novel or something--it'll help you out). Wonder Woman has the Greek pantheon backing her up, and do you want to tangle with the Greek gods? I really don't. Hawkgirl--okay, that mace is just scary, I don't care who you are. J'onn can get into your head and make you do or say whatever he wants, and he's a shapeshifter, and he can go through walls. And me--if I was in a really bad mood, I could pretty much make you explode.
Or did you not know that's what happens when someone makes the insides of your body vibrate at speed?
Not that I would. It's just... something I could do if I were a little nastier with my powers. Which I'm not. Anyone looking here for an evil Flash should just keep on walking.
Anyway--none of that's the point. We have all these incredibly powerful people, and who is everyone afraid of? The guy in the bat costume.
Not that Bats isn't scary. Because he is.
So--are we done here, because I gotta go. Somewhere, there's a crime happening, and a gyro being made.
Oh? Five steps? Uh...
Steps 2-4: ???
Step Five: Profit!
There--five steps. 'Bye!
