So that was...weird.

[Tim doesn't really want to bother saying anything at all, but he knows the value of a 'seriously, I'm fine and acting normal' show, even when you don't feel fine and normal at all.]

At least those kinds of floods don't happen that often. [Of course he knows, he's read just about everything he has access to, but it's still not particularly comforting.]

Still, the scenery was pretty groovy, man. [A little 'I'm-sorry-I-had-to' laugh. See? FINE AND NORMAL.]

I wish I...he...whoever I was then had been more into cars. I know I say a 1960 Ford Galaxy around town; did someone own that, or was it just there to pad the background? And the Impala? That was a pretty sweet car. [WISTFUL SIGH and all right, he has sent the message, he can click off and go back to brooding now.]

[Private to Peter]

I literally cannot remember the last time I was in a comic shop.

[Private to Ivy]

[Does he just keep ignoring it or do they talk about it. Tim would love to just never ever broach the subject, but. His relationship with her was closer than what he had with his real mom, or his step mom, and that is kind of hard to swallow.]

People have said the memories from these things fade. [He knows because stalker. And she's been here longer than him, so he might as well find out if she - if they are going to remember this months and months down the line.]

Do they?

[ Fine and normal means a little light mockery, and Tim set it right up for him, so why would you not take advantage. ]

You have a max of five uses of the word groovy in a month rule or somebody's gonna start mistaking you for Charles.

[ He misses the stupid Impala too, though, dang. ]

I'm pretty sure they'd notice a difference in accent.

[RIGHT IT IS SUCH A SWEET CAR]

Yeah, but is that an association you want for even a second? That guy who uses genetics pick-up lines?

[ HE GOT TO LOOK AT IT ALL THE TIME IN THAT BREACH the barge is basically the most useless by comparison ]

[ALEX IS THE LUCKIEST TIM IS SO JEALOUS the Barge needs a racetrack. 8|]

Oof. You have a point. I think those were tired even in the 60s.

No.

[Yes they do Ivy, stop being a jerk.]

Though it depends on how hard you're prepared to try. I could grow some chondria armata for you, it produces an acid which causes short-term memory loss.

[You're the worst, Ivy.]

Uh, no thanks. Something about the idea of acid from you is somehow of unappealing.

I'm never going to graduate if people like you can't extend a little trust. I thought we'd bonded.

[Luckily (?) Redemption was a billion times worse than this so yeah, she's good for trolling at this point.]

You're not my mom. [Good job Tim, pointing out the obvious is a clear indicator of not being FINE and NORMAL.]

Besides, [Yeah that's right change the topic maybe she won't notice] something tells me you're not striving for graduation. Call it a hunch.

You know, it's bad enough that everyone already knows what's up without you sounding like you're speaking another goddamn language.

Groovy.

Carefully. Apparently you only get an allotment of five groovies per month.

Guess you'll have to be pulled kicking and screaming into this century.

Not really. I missed technology.

Me neither, actually.

Though the whole X-Files thing, I guess that's not too off the mark.

Then again, we have actual aliens living with us, where I'm from, so I guess it's not so conspiracy-themed.

Seriously? That's cool. I don't think we have any back where I'm from, but I guess you never know.

Maybe they're hiding in plain sight.

I mean, you were bitten by a spider and got superpowers. That's not exactly normal.

You're such a geek.

Don't tell me you're not upset you didn't get a change to take apart the Ford.

I don't know, I had fun playing X-Files with Sara.

So long as you weren't playing Doctor.

There was an alien scooter, too.

[ THIS IS STEPH TRYING. ]

[OKAY THEY CAN TRY, HE CAN DO THIS.]

What'd it look like?

[ Just don't say anything wrong. ]

Like the scooter I had when I was fifteen, but only when it's set to disguise mode. It had wings that popped out, like... well, like a prop from a 60s sci fi movie.

Cool. That place was practically my dream town when I was a kid. Sixties sci-fi prepared me for the real world.
