Congratulations! You've reached Booster Gold! I'm probably saving the world right now, but your call is important to me. Leave a brief but adoring message and I'll get right back to you.

Not... exactly. I mean, I could've, if I'd asked Skeets, or if I'd paid attention in history class, but I was a terrible student, and...

[ Sigh. Shut up, Booster, you're making this more complicated than it needs to be. ]

Look, I only really started paying attention to this stuff after— after Ted. When I realized I could've stopped a lot of things from happening, if I'd known. [ He looks away, expression pinched as he picks at a stray thread in the arm of the chair upholstery. ] I still don't like to ask about all the details, cause it kinda makes me feel creepy, but trust me. If there was something majorly wrong with you in the future, Skeets would've said something.

[ Hopefully. ]

[That's not that reassuring, overall. Skeets hadn't said anything about Ted dying, or else it wouldn't have happened, right? If Skeets wouldn't say anything about Booster's best friend, then why would he mention anything about some kid Booster hardly knew? Because they didn't know each other back home, not really.

There goes that relief.]

If you talk to him, you might not wanna use the time travel argument. It's, um... not that convincing? Not without Skeets around.

[you_tried]

Urgh.

People get mad at me when I don't know something, people don't believe me when I say I do know something...

[you_tried]

Can I yell at him anyway?

[khajidont]

Hey, I'm just saying. Dude doesn't need any more ammunition than he's already got. I can hear him now -- that's not proof! He's just got you fooled so you won't check in the first place!

But I mean, if you wanna yell at him, go on ahead. I'm not -- it's not worth it to tell a lotta people, honestly, but I don't mind him knowing that you know.

[Who else was he going to go to?]

[you_tried]

... well. Uh. Thanks.

I'll try not to yell. But if he deserves it I'm definitely going to.

[khajidont]

He'll probably deserve it.

[He's still sour. He's going to be sour for a while yet.]

I mean, I've already yelled at him. And I don't do that!

[He sounds almost offended that Hal made him lose his temper. How dare he. That's even worse than attacking him!]

[you_tried]

I admit, it's kind of hard to picture.
