That waggling finger Wally dislikes so much? It's back, and Kyle levels it straight at him. 'When, pal. Not if.' Because, differences aside, he really can't imagine a universe - even the evil ones - where one of his best friends wasn't Wally West.

He takes a bite out of his fruit and rolls his eyes. 'It's,' - because I was the last one -'a stupid nickname the Guardians made up and everybody kept it. I'm one the youngest, they think it's funny to tease me with it.'

He's good at hiding it, now. He suspected part of it was coming and had time to steel himself for the direct question. And this Wally doesn't know half his cues, doesn't know when he's really not in the mood to discuss something.
