Bart Allen"Helllloooo?? Anyone out there??"
The Flash@FastestGrandson "Crash the mode! KF!"
@backinaflash "Wally!!"
He runs over to Wally to give him a big Bart hug!
@FastestGrandson "I'm so happy you remember me. No one else seems to. Not even Artemis. But that's not her fault. I mean, my death was one of the worst moments of her life, so why would she wanna relive it? Anyways, I'm not the same Wally you knew."
@backinaflash Bart was blinking in confusion at Wally and stepped back.
"Wally, I could never forget you! What do you mean you're not the Wally I know? How could you *not* be Wally?? Wally *is* Wally."
@FastestGrandson "Bart, you're amazing. You are one of a kind, my dude. I love you, man." He hugs him tightly.
@backinaflash "Yes, yes, thank you, Wally, but explain! How are you not the same person you were before??"
He'd never turn down more hugs!
@FastestGrandson "I've been enhanced by the Speed-Force. I'm faster than before and wiser. So much wiser."
@backinaflash "...Okay, that doesn't mean you *aren't* the same Wally! You just leveled up!"
@FastestGrandson "Oh. Well, I guess that's true."
@backinaflash "I'm so so so glad you're back! But- You're wearing red! That's Pops' color.
@FastestGrandson "Pure Speed-Force energy solidified into clothing that I can manipulate at will."
@backinaflash "That's really OP, but really cool, so that tracks."
@FastestGrandson "Yeah, but I make it work. And you make my old suit look good, man!"
@backinaflash "I added a few personal touches to it, but its still on brand."
@FastestGrandson "So much drip!"
@backinaflash Ohh, he's hyping Bart up, so he's gonna do a few poses.
"You know it, mah man!"
@FastestGrandson "Alright, I'm impressed. Um, has Artemis been okay? If you've seen her, that is."
@backinaflash "I mean, I haven't seen her as of late. I usually stick with Red Robin, Superboy and Wonder Girl."
@FastestGrandson "Huh. Well, I'm just gonna assume my golden-haired beauty is doing fine."
@backinaflash "Oh yeah, she's a vigilante, I'm sure she's fine. I mean, Tim is totally fine."
@FastestGrandson "Artemis looks so very good in her Tigress outfit, bro. Um, so what's new with you?"
@backinaflash "College. But it's sooooo boring. I'd rather play video games for a living."
@FastestGrandson "Buckle down. You'll regret not trying to enjoy it. Find the positives, man."
@backinaflash "Ohhh, like that pretty blonde I sit next to in Advanced Physics, and the buffet in the cafeteria!"
@FastestGrandson "If that's a positive for you, yeah. I have a lot of work to do to put things right. To put things on the right path."
@backinaflash "So like- What's happening anyway, dude??"
@FastestGrandson "I'm still not sure. But it doesn't seem good."
@backinaflash "Well, Wally, you know exactly how to get ahold of me."
@FastestGrandson "I know. You're not exactly subtle, man."
@backinaflash "Is this something I need to be subtle for??"
@FastestGrandson "No. Just be aware of anything that's out of the ordinary."
@backinaflash "...Well, that doesn't narrow it down at all!"
@FastestGrandson "Alright, let me put it like this: if you see anything disappearing or anyone from Apokolips, let me know."
@backinaflash Gaaaaasp.
"No way! Big bad times??"
Bart stood firm.
"I'll do whatever it takes to protect this planet!"
@FastestGrandson "Timelines are converging and intersecting. Multiple realities crashing into each other and dying. Things just feel not good anymore.:
@backinaflash Blink. Blink.
"Ohhh, it's another Crisis! I'll get the team!"
@FastestGrandson "I just need you to monitor for now. Alright? I can't prove anything yet, but I just have a feeling."
@backinaflash "Wally, they'll believe you. Timmy will definitely believe you. He's been in a situation where no one believed him before."
@FastestGrandson "It's not that. Maybe it's just me trying to adapt to the world again. Man, how many years was I gone again? Too many."
@backinaflash "Way too long! It's funny. I came from the past, and you ended up in the future."
@FastestGrandson "Yeah. My head is spinning, man. Ugh. Okay. I just need time and to, ironically, take it slow and acclimate to everything. I just feel weird, man."
@backinaflash He speeds to one side of him.
"Then I know just what to do!"
He speeds to his other side.
"We should go get Big Belly Burger!"
@FastestGrandson "Dude, yes! That's perfect!"
@backinaflash "You'll feel better in no time!"
He runs off in a flash of lightning to the nearest Big Belly Burger.
@FastestGrandson Wally's already there, waiting on Bart.
His silver lightning crackles around him.
"Hey, slowpoke."
His silver lightning crackles around him.
"Hey, slowpoke."
@backinaflash Bart slid to a stop just in front of Wally.
"What?? How did you?? I didn't even see you run past me!"
@FastestGrandson "Leveled up, like you said. I'm on another level, my dude. A very unique level. I think I'm faster than Barry." He chuckled as he vibrated suit into civilian clothes.
@backinaflash Bart spun around to change into his street clothes.
"Then that would make you Top Flash! I wonder how Uncle Jay will feel about this."
@FastestGrandson "I'd wager a mix of pride and a tad bit of envy. Not that he'd say it, of course."
@backinaflash "I can't believe you're *this* fast. That's incredible!"
@FastestGrandson "I can't believe it's not butter!"
@backinaflash "Who says that anymore?"
He walks into the restaurant with a healthy laugh.
@FastestGrandson "Hey, I'm just old-fashioned, man. Give me a break, huh?"
@backinaflash "Pfft, nah, you're not old, I'm just a guy out of time."
He shrugs his shoulders and heads up to the cashier to order.
"Shall we get the usual??"
@FastestGrandson "If it ain't broken, don't fix it, man."
@backinaflash He grins and orders their usual order which consisted of an entire bag of Big Belly Burgers with extra everything.
@FastestGrandson "Once I prove I'm really me to the team, what am I gonna do? Like, do I just resume my retirement from heroism, or do I join the League? I suppose whatever Arty goes with."
