Incoming Video Call...

Timothee

Accept / Decline

00:00

[Tim is neither at Connor's place nor at Kara's. The atmosphere around him is dark and edgy, the background echoing with a mix of shouts and yells. As the screen comes into focus, Zach can only assume that he is in a bar somewhere and the flickering lights are making his eyes hurt. The fact that he just woke up from that unexpected call doesn't help the situation either. The only unmistakable thing about the entire weird setup is Tim's face, looking back at him through the screen]

"Oh, it's you... I was about to ring Connor..."

"Tim...?"

"Shit, you look so tired, Zach. I'll just ring up Connie. Don't worry, forget I called. Buh-bye..."

"Wait a second, don't hang up... Where the hell are you?"

"Ah nowhere important."

"And why were you calling Connor or me, for that instance?"

"I just realized I had Con saved as Best Bud earlier but I lately swapped that contact with you... Anyways, you must have been asleep, sorry to bother you."

"It's 3:30 am, of course I was asleep but what the hell is this place? I haven't seen it anywhere in Metropolis and jokes aside, it looks like you got caught up with the wrong crowd. "

"It's not like that..."

"Don't tell me you went back to Gotham."

"Chill, bro, I'm not in Gotham... I wouldn't dare..."

"Why do you seem so slow? Are you drunk?"

"No..."

"Holy shit, what was that!"

"Hush, buddy, I'm trying not to attract a lot of attention here. I already look like a pigeon in a flock of vultures."

"..."

"Zach? You there?"

"I'm going to call Connor, don't hang up. And send me the location. We're coming to pick you up."

"Awww, you care..."

"You certainly are drunk and I am very sure that will make everything twice worse for you as well as for us."

"No, I'm not. I'm very sober. Haven't had a coffee cup since dinner."

"Even terrible."

"Zachary... Don't be a spoilsport. Just stay on the line, I don't want to be picked up, I was just boooorrreeeeed."

"..."

"Please?"

"Send me your location. Now."

"It's Star City, you won't get here before morning even if you tried... But if Connor flew you here, that would be another case entirely."
