See, that's what I thought! It's why I don't get this whole- I mean, it was cool for each of the heroes to have a sidekick, even if Barry dragged his feet about me for a while, but like when we wanted to make our own team and do stuff we got shut down!
I mean like yeah, obviously, train people and make sure they hold themselves accountable, but you can't just tell people they can't be superheroes. It makes it sound like some kind of exclusive club! I hate it.
Okay well, that settles it. You're my consultant. [Wally folds his arms and shrugs a shoulder.] I mean, you kind of were before, but now it's official. You've been in the super business longer than anybody else here, so.
It's quite true, although I was often on the other side of such things. [ He waved a hand, smile on his face. Shade was feeling quite pleased with himself, after all. He liked Wally, and Wally needed someone to help guide him. Shade was willing to do that -- yet again -- just like Jack. ]
[ Said pointedly. Just to make sure that Wally was going to hear it often enough. He'd get him used to it yet. He smiled, and settled a little more securely into the chair. ]
No, it was- It doesn't matter. Forget about it. [Wally waves him off. Doesn't even make a face at being called Flash.] I'll keep in touch. Do you drink tea? You seem like a tea kind of guy.
Well, that happens when you're shopping for an immortal former art thief. You should see my home in Opal. It's packed with things I've never tossed away.
I'm gonna submit you to that tv show Hoarders. They're gonna try and take like ten boxes of wine glasses out of your place while you scream "I can use them I'm immortal!" on national television.

The old guard are rather...hesitant, aren't they?
I've always found the more...removed heroes to be quite a bit more....willing to play.
Hence why I moved to Opal, and why I trained Starman. They were open to such an idea.

If you have need of me, consulting I shall do.

[ A smile, even so. ] But you're correct, I'd hardly charge you for my assistance.

[Wally props his hands on his hips, blowing out a breath and feeling lighter than he has in days.]
Okay. I guess...I guess thanks. Thank you.

Are you offering for us to do tea sometime?

Like, text me your favorite tea and I'll get it for you. Consulting fee.

[ Said with a laugh. Mostly because he likes teasing Wally. ]

How advantageous for me!
Perhaps I'll pilfer some of my own.

I'll think on it, and see what I can ask of you.

Geez. Anybody ever tell you that you're hard to shop for?
