“Yeah. I’ve worked with him for almost twenty years,” Nightwing said.
Hal started giving a nod, then scowled. “Wait, what? Twenty years? You can’t be that old. Look at you!”
“Yeah, look at you, babe,” Redheaded-Flash snickered. “You’re in the prime of your youth. Surely— surely —you’ve only been in the hero game for a handful of years at most. Surely there was no suspiciously young superhero action going on, right? No little murder-baby doing quadruple flips right into bad guys’ faces?”
Nightwing smacked at Redheaded-Flash a few times. “Shut up,” he laughed. “Look, I’ve been in this game – okay, not a game, let’s not make it sound worse than it already is – I’ve been part of the mission for a really long time. And it sounds bad, I know, but there’s a good reason for it.”
“How bad does it sound, exactly?” Diana asked. “So far, it seems as though you are doing your best to obfusticate any solid information.”
“Okay, look. I was nine when I started going out on the rooftops,” Nightwing said.
