[CLOSED] That was love and it's an ache I still remember

[looksfine]

Characters: Aya and Not!Razer Wally West
Date: Mid-June
Location: Wayne Enterprise
Situation: Wally comes for a visit to check out the place, and along the way, encounters a certain living robot...who might be thrown by the auditory similarities between him and a certain Red Lantern she used to know.
Warnings/Rating: W for Wally.


During the daylight hours, Aya made every attempt to put time into the laboratory at Wayne Enterprise. It was an inherited duty, with many recent disappearances. People she had known casually. People she respected, and would honor by taking up as much of the responsibilities as she was capable of.

Fortunately for their memory, Aya was capable of a lot of things.

Multitasking, for instance. Without the basic necessities most carbon-based life forms required, she could go for hours, non-stop, with little regard for the passage of time. Awareness, yes. Regard? No. She had far more important things to regard, including the multiple holo screens worth of data scrolling in front of her.  Which she was doing at that precise moment, cross-referencing and analyzing each and every variable.

"Yes.  I believe the probability of success will increase to 74.3 percent with these newest alterations."

Comments

[looksfine]

She was about 65.8 percent certain the comment was meant to be humorous, but just in case...

"My database contains the greatest majority of information contained within the Guardians of Oa library. While they are omnipotent beings as a collective, it would appear they have neglected to include some of the finer points of certain planetary cultures."

Including such colloquialisms as gypped.

"...and yes, I am also pleased that my innate abilities allowed me to work around the biases of those who did not think I was suited to be a Green Lantern."

[runrightround]

"Oh. Hopefully not all the cool stuff."

The Guardians of Oa are not something he's entirely or even at all familiar with, but he'll take her word for it. Since she probably knows better than he does.

"Were there really people like that? That sucks. You seem fine to me. Granted I just met you, and I've only seen you look at data, but still."

[looksfine]

"Thank you. You seem adequate as well."

Word choice aside, there was a certain warmth to her tone that conveyed genuine gratitude.

[runrightround]

"Cool."

He'll hold out his fist again.

"Second time's the charm?"

[looksfine]

This time, she ignored the unusual phrase and instead went with his physical body language cues. A fist, extended, ready to connect with hers.

It was slightly more awkward to pull her fingers into the precise position. She didn't want to cause him harm, so a usual punch would not do. Just...a light tap of the knuckles.

Which might have felt slightly harder to him, due to a continued learning in how to reign in her strength.

But also because of the metal in her hands.

[runrightround]

Once it's over with, he pulls his hand back and tries shaking it subtly. It's not quite as bad as the time he tried punching Supey in the arm, at least.

He's grinning, anyway. If he had a bucket list, he would be able to cross 'fistbumped a robot' off of it.

"Nice one."
