Who: Bart Allen, Kara Kent
What: Date Three. Bart has something important to tell Kara.
Where: Checkers & Shakes, a retro hamburger joint, Metropolis, DE
When: Tuesday, July 3rd. Evening.
Rating: PG
Bart was more nervous for this date than he had been for the first one. Maybe. Well, probably. Definitely as nervous as he had been to go meet Superman. Superman had given him strict orders to be honest with Kara... and while he hadn't been dishonest and certainly hadn't lied to her (not even about his secret identity which was supposed to lie about); he hadn't been completely truthful either.
He was so nervous that he'd only eaten about half of his hamburger in the fifteen minutes that they'd had their food... but it was hard to think of how to say this. How did you tell someone you were from the future? What if she thought he was crazy? Everyone else had... but Batman had already proven that he was Barry Allen's grandson so maybe he could get Batman to vouch for him with Kara.
Yeah, right. Like that was going to happen.
No, Batman was out of the question-- but maybe she'd listen to Wally or Linda or Jay or Jesse or someone else from the Flash family if she didn't believe him. He just... hoped that this third date wasn't their last one.
Bart took a deep breath, then opened his mouth.
"So... you know how I said that the Flash-- er... the other Flash, not the right now Flash but the one before... and not the one with the hat but the one between the now!Flash and the hat!Flash-- is my grandfather...? And remember how he's only like... I don't know... not like ancient or anything... and how like ... no one's ever heard about him or my Grandma having kids?"
He did well until this last part, where he devolved into speaking at super speed, "Wellit'sbecauseI'mfromthefuture." He only managed to cringe a little when he said it.
