[closed] a welcome reprieve from emotional agony
WHO: DICK GRAYSON (codename birdbrain) and WALLY WEST (codename kidiot)
WHERE: Maurtia Falls, PA
WHEN: July 31st, NIGHTTIME
WHAT: Crimefighting and shenanigans.
WARNINGS: Nerds.
[ July had been a mess, but at least it's almost over. To celebrate that fact (and his newly-healed leg, and his friends' safe return home, and hopefully the end of everything awful for at least a little while) Robin had invited-slash-dragged Kid Flash out on patrol, just the two of them, somewhere far away from Heropa.
Huge, dark clouds hang heavy in the sky. There's no storm yet, but the air feels like lightning. Or maybe it's just the two of them— ]
Check it out!
[ Robin whoops as he leaps the gap between buildings, executing a neat (if completely pointless) midair somersault. ]

[where the fuck]
...dammit. Robin! [Wally crouches at the edge of the building, peering down into the darkened alley. There's too much heat for infrared and too much light pollution for night vision, so the chances of him finding Robin in the shadows is about nil. He'll have to wait for a signal.
...ugh. Waiting.]
no subject
But if Wally misses that, which is entirely possible, he's deinitely not going to miss the familiar cackling rising up from inside the building, and the chorus of "huh?" and "what the hell—?" as Robin flings all ninety pounds of his weight at an armed robber like a tiny human projectile. ]
no subject
Oh geez, [KF mutters before tearing down off the roof and over to the bad guys. He probably missed his cue, but hopefully Robin knew he missed his cue and took it into consideration. There's about seven thugs outside now, hopefully the entire force, and Wally hears one of them hiss,] Shit, they're imPorts-! [before he threads between them all, snatching their guns and tossing them down a storm drain.]
Oops! Butterfingers!

Just like big ugly dominoes!

[ Robin ducks an elbow to the face, landing a hard, painful shin kick and backflipping out of reach, past a ricocheting Wally. ]
—leapfrog!
[ And the guy booking it down the street is the perfect target. ]

Wally limps back over.] Should I call the cops? We done?
no subject
[ Robin's already getting out his makeshift cuffs — good old zip tie ingenuity. He hands Wally a couple. ]
Jeez, I really wanted to try 26, [ he adds in a mock-pout, but his heart's racing and his cheeks are pink with exhilaration and he can't wipe the grin off his face. Tonight's turning out awesome. ]
no subject
Y'know, we haven't gone on patrol together in a while, before this place. It's always been missions and mentors.
no subject
[ He feels Wally's eyes on him and looks up, something almost sweet in his grin before it spreads, cocky again. ]
... We've gotten way better, huh? No more tripping over each other.

[ Robin drags the last of the robbers under the awning of the building so they don't get rained on too hard, even though they probably don't deserve it. ]
Okay, c'mere. I'm making this an official thing, starting now. Gonna scrapbook it.
[ He slings his arm around Wally's shoulders, grinning widely, holding up his comm with the tied-up thugs behind them. It's super-selfie time. ]
no subject
[Right as Robin snaps the pictures, the sirens wail above the increasingly loud rainfall and Wally tugs on Robin's arm.] C'mon, I'm getting soaked and I'm starving. Let's go find somewhere to wait this out!
no subject
[ Robin grabs the corner of his cape and holds it up like an umbrella for Wally to duck under, but he only has seconds to do it before Robin's cackling and taking off down the sidewalk. ]
no subject
So, of course, Wally catches up to Robin, grabs him and throws him over his shoulder as he goes tearing through the city and kicking up a spraying wake of water behind them.]
no subject
[ Robin squawks indignantly. He wasn't soaked before, but now his face is wet and his hair is dripping and his cape's lying wet across his back. ]
no subject
Punk.
no subject
My way was dryer.

[ Robin shakes his dripping cape with both hands by way of explanation, looking not unlike a wet flappy baby bird who's just learning to fly. ]

So where are we eating? Because you overshot my idea by like eight blocks.
