[004] - Action!

[fasterthan]

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?]

[The Captain sees, while flying.

He flies over head and tries to keep up, and for a short while he does.

He cannot fly that fast, so he ends up losing the speedster pretty quick.]

[fasterthan]

[ZIP ZIP ZIP oh hey it's a dude flying sweet. Flash waves.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Waves back, because why not.

Though, the attempt to keep up is ruined when The Captain slams head first into a tree.

The tree is destroyed and The Captain lands somewhere with the debris.]

Okay, great, so now we're hallucinating superheroes. Awesome.

[fasterthan]

[And because Flash is the most graceful of all superheroes, he totally trips and falls on his face not too far from Charlie.]

Maaaaaaaan.

[But he's still grinning. He kind of missed the faceplants, okay.]

[brbgoing2russia.livejournal.com]

Woah! Are you okay? Do you need help up? That was totally awesome!

[alienfromkansas]

Wal- Flash?

[He was walking back home from his work as a plumber when he thought he had caught a glimpse of the red-costumed super hero from the corner of his eyes. But it's not like he could hear him, going that fast.

He yells at him next time he flashes through his side.]

FLASH!

[fasterthan]

[WHOOPS. He skids to a halt and zips back to Clark.]

Hey man! 'Sup?

[alienfromkansas]

[Clark laughs and it and pushes his glasses up]

Got your speed back, I see? Good for you.

[And he's glad to see him too. He knew he'd be back, like all of them- but it was still a relief.]

[Rainbow Dash was napping in a nearby tree when she wakes up to see a blur rush past.

And another blur.

And another.

And then she sees Wally stop.

What...what is going on here, not!dad.]

[fasterthan]

[Wally turns to go back into the house to find his costume when... oh hey, is that Dash in the tree?

...oops.

He waves, a bit of a sheepish smile on his face.]

Hey, Dash!

[foalingaround.livejournal.com]

"Hi Dash"? Is that all you've got to say?

When were you gonna tell me you could run that fast?!

[puzzlerprince.livejournal.com]

[Wow, way to totally knock this guy over, Wally.]

[fasterthan]

[CRAPCRAPCRAP UH

SHOULD HE STOP

I mean on the one hand he's not in costume right now so if he keeps going he might be able to like... pretend it didn't happen, but on the other hand...

Okay look he can't just leave him so he turns and helps Eddie back up.]

Whoa hey, man. You okay?

[goddamnhedgehog.livejournal.com]

[That is a man. In a red costume. Running very fast.]

[fasterthan]

[SEVEN HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR YEAH BABY

wait hang on was that... what the heck was that?

Flash turns around and zips back to take a look.

...okay yeah an animal of some kind? No idea. He smiles though.]

Hey, what's up?

[webball.livejournal.com]

[Well. There goes the last of Peter's piece of cake, which falls to the sidewalk with an shipbuilding splat.]

...Show off.

[webball.livejournal.com]

(OOC: wow, "shipbuilding"!? Thanks for nothing autocorrect.)

[fasterthan]

[EXCEPT as soon as Flash realizes he's hit someone--or nearly hit them, it doesn't make much of a difference at these speeds--he whirls around and CATCHES THE CAKE, coming to a sudden halt right next to him.]

Whoa! Sorry about that man, that could've been a real tragedy right there.

[battymadam.livejournal.com]

[no such luck, Wally. Look closer - there's a hair bun sticking up over the hedge behind you.

And she heard him say that, too.]

Whoops, was I not supposed to see that dearie?

[fasterthan]

[He whips around and... oh man.]

Uh... not really?

[undying-heroism.livejournal.com]

[!!!!!!

HE KNOWS THAT BLUR.]


DUDE!!!

[fasterthan]

[And Flash skids to a halt and turns to speed back to Alfred.]

Hey man, what's up?

[shapechanger.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[fasterthan]

[Oh man he really tries hard not to hit people, so when he notices that he has, he turns right around and goes to help them out. He zips up and isn't there quite in time to rescue Beast Boy from the tree, but at least he can help him up, which he's going to try to do.]

Whoa, dude, I am so sorry. You okay?
