Flash here.

'Sup.

[ He's so cool. ]

[batsymbol]

This is Batman.

( he, too, is cool. )

[

Can he screenshot this so he can send it to Oliver when his phone is, you know, connected to the Earth-1 network? He's so going to do that. ]

Hey, Batman.

What's up?

[batsymbol]

I want to know how you're handling the other Flash here.

( as if this would be anything other than a business call. )

[ He… does not want to tell Batman that he is playing this by ear. Without his usual crew, Barry has to play is smart. Safe. Something that starts with s. (Stuck in the past is a little too long.) ]

How much do you know about the Reverse Flash?

[batsymbol]

Enough to know he's a potential threat and may have an unhealthy obsession of sorts with you.

( hence his asking how he plans to handle him. )

[accelerate]

He's very fond of me.

[ Ha ha ha. ]

He and I struck up a deal to work together here. We're from the same world. Working against each other has never worked out for us. He knows that if he steps out of line, I'll be done with him, which hurts him much more than he'd care to admit. I think it's in everyone's best interest that he feels he has an ally here and that it's me. He's calmer when I'm not working against him.

Robin doesn't think this is a smart idea, but I know the Reverse Flash. Playing to his ego is one of the best ways to keep everyone safe.

So you’re the hostage in your own plan.

( essentially. )
