First Race

[ Someone is a little anxious. His chin rests in his hand and some pages can be heard fluttering in the background because, although you can't see it, his foot is tapping at super speed. ]

Hmm. 11 floors, 160 rooms, decent facilities, but it's so much smaller than I was expecting. I mean, I'm sure it's big enough for everyone's needs, but do you know how many times I can visit every room in half a minute? Too many, that's how many.

But hey, I'm sure I'll find a way to entertain myself. This whole inmate deal, when does that happen? Oh, sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

[ He smiles winningly. ] I'm Wally West, your newest warden. So, when can we get this party started?

You do realize that the services here are more... personalized, yes?

Yeah, but it's still pretty small.

Perhaps it is for a prison, but is it for a ship? We're in space, you must realize.

I think most spaceships are bigger than most cruise lines.

You have experience with space ships?

[identity profile] gingerspeedster.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
A little, yeah. You get around in the hero business.

At least, I like to think I am. I'm the Flash, the Fastest Man Alive. A pleasure, I'm sure.

What is so great about being fast?

There's no need to be jealous.

Jealous? I just don't understand.

Super speed is awesome. It's an incredible thrill. It's like you can do anything.

I suspect your wife wouldn't be particularly happy.

My wife? Dude, I'm not married.

Harsh. You don't even know me! I'll have you know my love life is thriving.

I don't understand what good speed would do. Call me old-fashioned.

Ever had one of those moments where you could have saved someone, everything could have been different, but you were just too slow?

It's not my role in life. I am not a hero.

[identity profile] gingerspeedster.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well I can save those people. I can watch a bullet leave a gun and stop anyone from getting hurt. That is why super speed is so great.

It's only because I don't like what bullets do to people.

Car accidents do pretty nasty things to people. Knives too. It's not a bad superpower to have.

I am sorry for being so rude.
