Author's notes: aw yeah Friday! :D Okay, it's not gonna be Friday for much longer, but still Friday. I'm working on another story, with two chapters down and maybe five to go. I'll tell you when it's finished :o)
Disclaimer: I own only my own quirky (I think) thoughts and a new pencil, but nothing comics-related. I mean, if I owned a multi-billion dollars empire, I'd know about it, right? … Right?

Flash often hears things like, "Yeah, Fastest Man Alive – guy can get to Italy in a coupla minutes if he wants a pizza and order Chinese takeout from actual China!"
It's not exactly false – he could, if he wanted – and it's not the sort of thing that hurts his reputation, so he doesn't correct them.
Because, really, it would be a real downer if he told them he actually prefers the thick fat American crust on his pizzas rather than the thin Italian one or pointed out that American Chinese restaurants cooks (who often are from Korea or Vietnam anyway) adapt their recipes for Western palates. Thai food in Thailand is vastly different from Thai food in the US.
Besides, he doesn't speak a word of Chinese.
Really short, I know – it's just something that hit me one time I read or heard that 'Fastest Man Alive' sentence. It's a bit of a joke, but after thinking a bit about it, it seemed odd. And for the record, I prefer thin Italian crust on my pizzas :D
Next up: Diana doesn't understand why Flash seems to mistake Batman for a disgruntled coyote, so Hawkgirl explains the subtleties of the "Roadrunner" cartoons.
