[004] - Action!

Outside 1665 Nelson and around town.
[So yeah that event wasn't so fun but HEY NOW THERE IS A PACKAGE ADDRESSED TO WALLY.

Excellent.

He opens it up and... there's nothing inside. Weird. He shakes it a little, as if that would dislodge something hidden but... there's nothing inside.

But. Hey. He's...

...feeling pretty speedy.

He grins, and without a second thought he sprints down the road at about sixty miles an hour.

And then he starts going faster.

And faster.

He's circled the town a few times over the course of the next ten minutes at speeds approaching the speed of sound, which is pretty damn fast, okay. But by the time he zips back to the mailbox at 1665 Nelson, he's frowning a little.]


...still not fast enough. But hey, better than nothing.

[And then he realizes.]

...oops. I hope no one noticed that.

[Because he just raced around Mayfield in civilian clothes. Not exactly conducive to a secret identity.

Over the course of the day you might see your friendly neighborhood Flash, in full costume, racing around town. There's not a whole lot to do, but man it feels good to be running again, even if it's not as fast as he can go normally. Give a shout, he may stop and talk to you!

Of course, it's also possible you might have caught a glimpse of Wally running around this morning in his normal clothes out of the corner of your eye. Maybe. It's possible. But are you really sure?]

[In typical cartoon fashion, Beast Boy is totally minding his own business when he finds himself spinning like a top down the middle of the road.]

Whoa.

What was tha -- aaaaaaat!

[Diving out of the way of a guy running at the speed of sound doesn't work too well. He smashes into a tree instead.]

We could do an estimation? I'm just curious, to be honest.

[Grumbling. His clothes are torn but there's no blood or visible injuries.]

☠☠☠☠... that hurt. I need to really start watching where I am going.

[she blinks]

I don't really like secrets.

[uh oh. Looks like you'll have to convince her it's important!]

[identity profile] webball.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Hectic life, that of a superhero. Saaaayyyy... in your, uh, extra-dimensional escapades, didja happnen to ever run across or hear about any superheroes named...

[Peter leans in close, looking furtively around him and speaking in a low voice.]

Spider-Man...?

Just asking out of curiosity. You understand.

[Peter tries to hide his disappointment. Damn, this Mayfield is wreaking havoc on his sense of self-importance...]

Er... no reason, I guess. I just, uh, heard he's in town here someplace, so I was curious.

Spidey? Can't miss him. Tall, muscular, might be wearing a red and black costume with cool, one of a kind reflective bug eyes. His specialties are swinging on webs across buildings, sticking to walls, acrobatics and a razor sharp wit. You'd love him; all the kids sure do.

[identity profile] heartstar-blues.livejournal.com 2011-12-05 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get you. Running that fast.

I'm guessing you can take a good hit too right?
alienfromkansas: (C - huh)

[personal profile] alienfromkansas 2011-12-05 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A little more than two miles, perhaps?

[identity profile] shapechanger.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Beast Boy's eyes are still spinning around in circles. Perhaps Wally may escape this one without his secret identity being compromised.]

So that's how you got back so quick... There are six of you.

[Flumph. Beast Boy flops over.]

[identity profile] shapechanger.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Gonna be just... peachy.

[Beast Boy eventually blinks himself back into normality before rubbing at the back of his head a little.]

Man, who're you supposed to be? The Flash?

[Ha... ha.]

((And I have just realized that there was a second part of the post involving in-costume which you probably thought I was replying to hence the icon and which would work out better anyway so let's go with that! Sorry about being dense!))
