[Smug looking speedster is smug looking. Holds up a green bean for one and all to see.]

Ever since I arrived here, people are constantly telling me "blahblahblah, magic is real. Blahblahblah, you need to believe in it." I'm going to show you once and for all that this is all a mind trick.

[Pops the bean into his mouth.]

Using ye ol' noggin' [

[Kaldur is just kind of speechless. He stares at the seal becaue he really, really does not know what to say...at all]

Uhm...Wally?

[video]

[flashesforward]

I didn't mean to say it!

[video]

[acceptedburden]

I figured that out based on your reaction.

So I suppose this means the bean thing is a little more than something you can resist with mere will power.

[Yeah, Kaldur REALLY doesn't want to talk about the Wally/M'gann kiss...he just isn't sure how to address team romances yet...at least at that level]

[video]

[flashesforward]

Yeah...I mean I guess there might be something more than just a mind trick going on.

[video]

[acceptedburden]

Probably. Although you probably shouldn't have eaten the bean, magic or no magic. Have you not seen some of the other reactions it has caused?

[serious face]

[video]

[flashesforward]

Yeah, but while the Supes family are the Men of Steel, the Flashes have wills made out of steel. So I thought it would be no big thing.

[acceptedburden]

This is not our world, Wally. We cannot be sure if substances here will effect us differently. Especially since it appears to be leaning towards the magic side of things, not strictly science.

[sighs] So what should we do about it now.

: [video]

[flashesforward]

Pretend this whole incident didn't happen, other than the beans have some sort of weird compulsion effect, and go research it?

[video]

[acceptedburden]

I do not think it will be that simple Wally. This is not something you can just do that with.

I have noticed that the weird compulsion effect seems to be triggered by a certain word in some cases. Perhaps that is the case here.

[flashesforward]

I was fine until M'gann said "Motion sensors." Try it?

[video]

[acceptedburden]

[pause then he goes for it]

Motion sensors.

[video]

[flashesforward]

I started to believe a little in magic after the whole not-so-fun mask adventure with Doctor Fate. But not because of all the finger wiggling.

[video]

[acceptedburden]

Hmm. All right, so you confess things when someone says motion sensors [Realizes he just said the word, whoops]

Sorry. [takes a breath] So, what do you think we should do about it? Do you think you can stop it if we get you ear plugs? Although I can't imagine how you can get yourself in much more trouble...I think we should take precautions.

[video]

[flashesforward]

Pop music is kind of catchy.

[Gives Kaldur an annoyed look for saying motion sensors again, but at least that secret wasn't a horrible one.]

I think I am going to head out of the house for awhile and go find a place to chill by myself. I bet the effects will wear off in a few hours. A day at most.

[Or at least he hopes that's the case, sob.]

[video]

[acceptedburden]

[No, he's trying not to laugh at that revelation. He's pretty good with his poker face too.]

Very well. I do not believe I have heard anyone saying it lasted long.

[ He pauses for a second before adding]

You know where to find me if you need anything.

[video]

[flashesforward]

[Still not feeling too good, but knowing that Kaldur's there for him does help brighten his mood.]

Thanks, Kaldur.
