001 - Arrival

[Action - 1665 Nelson - Morning] [When Wally wakes up, the world is molasses.

No... that's not right. The world is still the world, it's just he's moving through it like it's molasses.

Okay that's kind of overstating it. But still. It's obvious from the moment he wakes up and tries to look around the room that he can't move even a tenth of the speed he's used to. In fact, he falls rather spectacularly out of bed when he tries to zip around the room and ends up flailing, tripping, and landing quite gracefully (and loudly) on the floor.

He's stuck at normal speed.

How...

He's kind of freaking out. The room is weird, there are weird pictures with him in them and the clothes are all wrong... and everything he does is so slow. True, he wasn't The Flash his whole life, he was normal once, too, but just like he had to get used to suddenly having super speed, now he's suddenly without it and he has no idea what's going on. Time to start talking himself through it.]

Okay. So I have no idea where I am, my suit's nowhere to be seen, and my powers are completely gone.

[He scratches his head.]

Guess this calls for some investigating.

Crap. Never was really good at that.

[He sighs.]

Guess I should start by getting dressed. Don't want to start an investigation in my PJs.

[He'll do so and start poking around the house.]

[Phone - Later that morning] So hey, Wally West here. Sorry for interrupting your beautiful morning but I'm randomly dialing and you're the lucky winner! I seem to be new here... uh... I think I got the basics down... mind helping me out with some specifics?

Yeah well that is dumb.

Finally, someone gets it! And don't even get me started on the homework! It's not like the teachers care when I take my tests at superspeed, either.
fasterthan: (you've got my attention (for now))

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-15 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well I dunno about the whole test thing, I never had to do that, but I mean I still have to go through a whole day of work at normal speed to keep up the whole secret identity thing.

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Sigh.]

Man, I hate secret identities!
fasterthan: (concerned about you)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-15 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's part of the gig, Bart. Yeah sure it'd be easier if we didn't have to worry about that but then we'd get no downtime and that would suck.

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
But I always hafta lie and sometimes it's really hard and I forget.
fasterthan: (wait what's back there)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-15 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yeah, the lying is hard. But it's important.

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I know it is! Grife! Max's already beat all of this into my head enough!
fasterthan: (concerned about you)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-15 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, sorry dude. I'm not trying to harp on you or anything, I'm just saying.

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-15 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, so am I!

[Pause.]

Oh. You're new...

...Do you uh. I don't know. Have any questions or need anything or something like that?!

[Other people have needs?! He forgets sometimes.]
fasterthan: (wait what's back there)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-15 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, I've actually been getting a lot of info from other people. There anything you think is crucial to know?

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
There are a lot of supervillains here...

The town thinks one of them is my mom...
fasterthan: (concerned about you)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
...you're living with one? Which one? [SUPERHERO PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS ARISING]

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Poison Ivy.

She's not too bad...for a supervillain. Just really angry...
fasterthan: (shit's gone down)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. [He's thinking about the call he just had with Harley Quinn and how helpful she was. Who knows, maybe Mayfield is the perfect Supervillain Rehab.] I'll keep that in mind. You're doing okay there, though? I mean you sound fine but I dunno, this could be you actually completely nuts.

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm okay. She and the "Dad" tried to kill each other one week but they left me alone.
fasterthan: (you've got my attention (for now))

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
...who's the dad? [IS THIS SOMETHING HE SHOULD MEDIATE except wait Flash would be the worst mediator so never mind that idea]

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
...Loki. Like. I guess he's a god or something?!
fasterthan: (wait what's back there)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Like a Greek god? I don't think I've ever heard of him.

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Someone said he was from Scandinavia or something. I don't know. I've definitely never heard of him. But he burned Ivy alive once when the town made him weird and I didn't like that.
fasterthan: (I don't like this)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
What the... [JSKDF PEOPLE. WHY ARE PEOPLE TERRIBLE SOMETIMES.] Well I think most people wouldn't like that. Jeez. You sure you're okay there?

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently it wasn't his fault or something.

I can handle it! I'm Impulse, after all!
fasterthan: (HEY THAT'S A DINOSAUR)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
...mind control, huh? [Wally hates mind control.]

[...and at Bart's proclamation he grins despite himself.] All right, cool. If you ever need backup though, gimme a call. Speedsters should stick together. [Well okay whether they should or shouldn't he has no idea but he is not passing up the chance to hang out with another speedster.]

[identity profile] has-no-plan.livejournal.com 2011-10-16 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.

Definitely! You can be my sidekick! And you're already one of the coolest speedsters I've ever met!
fasterthan: (goofy smile)

[personal profile] fasterthan 2011-10-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out for it.

Sounds awesome, boss. [He laughs.]
