The Flash@FastestGrandson "So much drip!"
Bart Allen@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."
@backinaflash "You should do whatever you feel is best. We'll all support you in everything you do."
@FastestGrandson "I can't imagine what my folks are gonna say. Liable to give mom and dad a heart attack."
@backinaflash "Oh I forgot about them. Ohh, this is gonna be a crazy day..."
@FastestGrandson "I mean, we can try to ease into it, if possible. But I don't know how. Or how to prove that I'm really Wally."
@backinaflash "Do you remember what your bedroom looks like?"
@FastestGrandson "Absolutely. Odds are they already packed up and shipped my stuff off, however."
@backinaflash "Odds are they kept it the exact same as you left it. They grieved you, dude."
@FastestGrandson "Oh. Right. Whoops. My bad."
@backinaflash "Nah, it's whatever. Just describe your room in detail when we go talk to them."
He grabs the bag of burgers when they were slid across the counter for them.
"Where to? STAR Labs?"
@FastestGrandson "That would work, yeah. A genetic test would prove conclusively who I am. Oh, Artemis is gonna chew my head off when she finds out!"
@backinaflash "Good luck with that. Cissie and I will watch."
He laughs as he walks towards the front door.
"So how do you want to explain to the crew how you're alive."
@FastestGrandson "I'm not sure. Just kinda jump into it? Yeah, thinking ahead isn't exactly my strong suit sometimes. Can't tell you how many times Arty got onto me for forgetting Valentine's Day. What would you suggest I do?"
@backinaflash "Be Wally. Kiss her ass majorly."
Once they stepped out the door, Bart was gone in another flash of lightning.
When he slid to a stop he was in the main room at STAR Labs. Finally someone decided to invest in paper weights.
@FastestGrandson "Whoa, I was gonna save that kinda stuff for when we got home alone."
@backinaflash "Oh, oh come on, we're about to chow down! Don't ruin it. Also, don't put your mouth near her ass. Gross, dude!"
@FastestGrandson "I'm just messing around, Bart! Jeez." He smirked and chowed down.
His appetite had remained the same as ever.
His appetite had remained the same as ever.
@backinaflash Bart could match Wally's appetite if not surpass it.
"Good, you weirdo. But if we are going there... I hear getting back together happy time is amazing. I wouldn't know. Cause I'm a good little boy and waiting for someone special."
Cissie. He's waiting for Cissie.
@FastestGrandson "What's been going on since I stepped out? Lay it on me."
