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

Date: 2011-10-14 03:23 am (UTC)But this is a big deal, and it's no time for that sort of thing. Especially when you may or may not be trying to keep your secret identity a secret.]
...I won't, ma'am. Never been the kind to do that before, and I'm not about to start just because some town decides it wants me.

Date: 2011-10-14 03:43 am (UTC)Yeah. Sounds good. Thanks... uh. Do you have a first name? Or do people just call you "Madame?" I'm okay with that if that's the case, I'm just curious.

no subject
Date: 2011-10-14 04:00 am (UTC)Thanks for everything.
Uh. Sorry about... yeah.
Is there another bed around here that I can crash in, or should I just take the couch?
no subject
Date: 2011-10-14 04:03 am (UTC)Um... well, there isn't another bed yet. But I don't think you should have to sleep on the couch! Maybe we can get another bed.
no subject
Date: 2011-10-14 04:04 am (UTC)We can figure that out later. I don't mind the couch, though.
