voicemail; dated to after bart infodumps on him because this works better

[He's had conflicting experiences with literally everyone else on Jaime so he figures he might as well go to the person with the greatest interest in this.

This whole thing has been exhausting and he hates that he's somehow the bad guy for having no good reason to take him at his word.]

Booster, I know you're not saving the world so call me back as soon as possible. I need your incredibly invested in Ted opinion.

[you_tried]

Heeeeey Hal. Thanks for the vote of confidence. By the way, I totally might have been. Secretly. Somewhere.

[ He was checking for gray hairs. ]

Ted's favorite color is blue, and he likes ugly sweaters with giant Ks on the front and movies about cheerleaders, but I don't think you're his type.

[aviate]

[Flatly.] He's not mine either.

This isn't even about him, it's about the kid using his name. What do you know about him?

[Because there's no way Booster wouldn't know about another Blue Beetle running around.]

[you_tried]

Well, for one, the kid's not using his name. Not any more than Ted was using Dan's.

[aviate]

At this stage it's still using.

[A beat.]

And that was incredibly vague, but you like him.

[you_tried]

I do like him. We worked together a few times back home. He's a good kid, and a damn good hero.

Plus, his family had the JLI over for a barbecue.

[aviate]

[And there's his chance to figure this out once and for all.]

Was Guy there too?

[you_tried]

Sure was.

[aviate]

That irresponsible son of a--

[If Guy ever shows his face around here, Hal is killing him. He is going to throttle him for putting him through months of stress and worry that there was going to be an attempted alien invasion and he couldn't do anything because he started using the Flash kids as a shield.]

That's all I wanted to know, thanks.

[And then he hangs up because he's an asshole.]

... Well, fine, I didn't want to talk to you anyway. Hang up on Booster Gold grumblegrumble...
