❝ 003 ❞ v i d e o ( forward dated to the 31st )
[Hal's recording this from Barry's place and he looks uncharacteristically hesitant.]
I think Barry's gone. My ring can't find him and I know it couldn't find people when everyone did that ghost trick a while back, but he also left his-- [He belatedly realises he can't say Flash ring.] --wedding ring behind and he'd never forget it.
[He falls silent again as he figures out what else to say.]
It's like I just got him back and now he's gone again. [He hasn't worked it out, but it feels like in all the years he's known him, Barry was dead longer than he was alive.]
I never really paid attention to what people did in this situation, but I guess I should tell Bart to get over here. Anything else I should do?

video; i did not
Because he's one of my oldest and dearest friends!
[And the last time Barry disappeared, it's because he was dead.]
video; uh huh
It's nothing to be ashamed of, you know. I'm an advocate of free love myself, personally.
[Because he's not a bigot, yeah. He has the most open mind.]
video; B|
Are you projecting?!
video; admit it you love me
Uh. No? Unless you would say the same thing I do, but somehow I don't see that happening.
[So disappointing, older Hal. So very disappointing.]
video; no
I'm still in love with Carol! And Barry's like a brother, not like that.
[Good thing Carol is not around. Or his actual girlfriend. It's complicated.]
video; such blatant lies
Really? I've been hearing otherwise, though.
[No, he hasn't, but Hal can't resist the chance anyway.]
video; such utter truths you mean
And is that what you do in your free time? Gossip about me?
video; just keep telling that to yourself
Well, you are me. Sort of.
[Kind of.]
video; shoo
And here I thought you wanted nothing to do with me.
video; pls you would never send me away
I don't. But its hard to ignore it when everyone keeps recognizing you.
[Because even though he has the same name, Hal knows its never him they're thinking of. It's always the other
betterhim.]video; WANNA BET
Get over it. It's like when we first got the ring from Abin Sur. Just prove yourself and everyone'll move on.
[In his mind it is actually that simple.]
video; uh huh
It's different with him. [And its not like he actually knew the guy, anyway.] And you can't compare that with this.
video; /cuts you out of my life
video; then why are you tagging me
[Everyone else didn't get that memo though.]
video; i can keep ooc out of ic stuff (yea)
[It's like talking to a wall.]
video; filthy lies
And I didn't know being a superhero could turn you into such a dick.
video; watch me
[He is, but that's not from being a superhero.]
video; (unsure)
[If not a superhero then wtf are you.]
