04/07/2004: fun Flash quote
Right now I'm reading the Flash story that introduces Impulse, and in Flash #94 we get this bit of Flash's internal monologue, which for some reason really amuses me: (for context, Wally just wondered how Bart managed to go through a wall, also he wants to stop him.)
"The kid's got no more idea than I do. He's scared out of his mind-- and wound tighter than Madonna's underwear. At this speed, it's all I can do to hang on to him-- and pray I don't look up to see us skidding through the streets of Gotham."
Heh. Here weird snake-ninja assassins just invaded his home and tried to kill his family, he has to deal with Bart and the reappeared Iris, but he worries he might end up in Gotham... Clearly some things intimidate more than others. *g*
ETA: The "[...] she thinks too retro. I don't do sidekicks." line isn't bad either.
