Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

I SWEAR I WROTE THIS

[moded]

Why would I want to go back? [Oh no. He can feel the bitterness building up inside of him, feels a strange pressure in his chest that just has the words spilling out of his mouth without even a hope of stopping them.] I mean yeah, I miss grandma, Jay and Joan. I miss the rest of the Team, I miss the Watchtower. And I mean if I'd lived all this time back home my dad and Aunt Dawn would be born, but it's not here.

[He's waving his arms vaguely as he speaks, slipping in and out of superspeed due to annoyance rather than manic energy, this time. Not that there's much of a difference when everything's just a blur of motion.]

And if I go back, Nightwing's gonna be off the team, Wally's dead and I won't care like I do here, and I'll forget everyone else- you you, the SB who's here now, CK, JJ, Gogo, Riku-

[Bart stops, clicks his teeth shut as he realizes he's actually ranting, and not in a frantic, whining speedster way. He lets out a breath, dragging his hand over his face as he tries to just get a grip.]

Yeah. Way too much.

it's ok IT'S HERE NOW

Hey, hey. I know, Bart. [He reaches out, places one hand on Bart's back, steady and solid. He's not sure what the world Bart's going home to really looks like, beyond a dead Wally (as if that's not enough), but Jaime's not so sure about his future either. Superman's made a bunch of cryptic comments about how things go sour again, and Eddie and Nadia die, and he gets reset... there's not a lot good about it. Oh, sure, he misses his family, misses them so bad that he feels a pain in the gut every time he looks at their pictures - he's known them for a lot longer than Bart's known his - but he's not sure about sacrificing all that he's learned and loved here.

People like Bart, for one.]

Trust me on that one, [he says, and if he's taken aback by Bart's demeanor, he doesn't show it, just treats him with as much seriousness as before. He's seen Bart a little like this before, and while it's never a good thing... at least he's being honest about it.]

Freaks you out, doesn't it, [he says quietly, more of a comment than a question.]
