"Nightwing! Just the bird I wanted to see!"
"Uh-oh... Wally barely comes after he retired," Barbara snickered and patted my back before walking away. "You're on your own, Nightwing."
"Dude, I'm in the middle of something right now," I groaned, shutting off the training simulation.
"Yeah, don't care because you're a literal asshole," Wally smirked and crossed his arms. "Had a good conversation with a certain Lantern and I've come to kick your ass while she goes shopping with your exes and Artemis."
I blinked, mid-turn, hand still on the console.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me," Wally said, stepping closer with that infuriating speed-walker bounce he always did when he was worked up. "Suit up, Bird Boy. Because the denial train you've been riding just hit a wall, and I'm here with the wreckage report."
"Wally—"
"Nope." He pointed a finger at me. "You don't get to 'Wally' me out of this. Not after how you acted when Zaria came back. And definitely not after pretending you're over it when everyone in the damn League saw you glitch like a bad hologram the second she stepped into the Watchtower."
"I wasn't glitching."
"Zatanna swore she saw smoke come out of your ears and your ears turn as red as her eyes... And Zar knows you two were a thing. She doesn't care, by the way."
I stared at him, crossing my arms tightly across my chest, trying to keep my expression neutral.
"She doesn't care," I repeated flatly.
"Nope," Wally said. "Not even a little. You know what she does care about? That you looked at her like she was a walking ghost. That you barely said a damn word to her after five years that wasn't hostile. And that you flinched when she handed you that mission report like she was going to bite."
"I didn't flinch."
"You flinched, Dick," he emphasized, jabbing a finger into my shoulder. "I've seen you stare down Doomsday without blinking, but apparently facing the girl you've had a crush on since you were twelve? Too much."
"That's not fair, Wall." I snapped.
"Is it?" He raised an eyebrow. "She told us everything she went through these past five years. It's a damn miracle she hasn't lost her mind or destroyed a planet."
I clenched my jaw, turning away from him. The training room suddenly felt smaller, hotter, like every wall was pressing in on me.
