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?

I've probably got some pictures around somewhere.

... Speaking of which, there's something you should know about the whole 'secret identity' thing around here.

What? You know I don't lead a double life anymore. I'm not about to start again.

Right. [Surrrre, you say that now.]

I mean, in some universes, our entire lives are documented in comic books and movies and other stuff. I haven't seen any with you in them yet, but apparently Superman's in some and the Justice League definitely exists in the books. So... just a head's up.

[ He considers that for a moment. A surprisingly long moment, in which he comes to terms with a minor existential crisis and moves on to more important matters. ]

You haven't seen one with me in it?

private; becauseeee lj is silly?

[batmanschmatman]

Not yet.

private; or else AOL

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

But there has to be one out there, right?

private; also a silly internet thing.

[batmanschmatman]

I don't see why not. This really isn't freaking you out at all?

private; uuugh

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

I have a pretty fast recovery time. I'd be more freaked out if you had a comic and I didn't.

private; stay strong man <333

[batmanschmatman]

Don't worry, I'm sure the Fastest Man Alive gets some kind of credit somewhere.

He'd better.

Say, do you think there are any comics about the Titans? I wonder how accurate those things are...

Maybe, I'm not really sure. Most people who know about it seem to really only know about me being Robin. They've never heard of Nightwing, and I think Tim's been able to fly under the radar with most people, which is... weird.

I've been told I need to sit through some of the movies at some point, but I've been kind of avoiding it.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Movies? Now this I've gotta see.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

I've been told they're pretty terrible.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Even better. Does anybody on board have them?

private;

[batmanschmatman]

Tim said he confiscated them so they wouldn't be readily accessible to just anyone. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind us borrowing them.

Isn't he like, little brother obligated or something? You can always play the seniority card if he says no.

private;

[batmanschmatman]

That's an excellent point. You want to meet up in one of the common rooms in like, ten minutes and watch one?

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! Beats sitting around all day.

private -> spam?

[batmanschmatman]

Awesome, I'll see you then.

spam!

[ Wally's waiting for you, Dick. He's got that 'waiting for you' look in his eye. That one that says you're always gonna be too slow. ]

spam!

[batmanschmatman]

[At the moment, Dick doesn't really care, because you've been missing in action for a while back in his timeline so seeing you alive is pretty cool. You might be getting a totally manly hug right now.]

Man, it's good to see you.

spam!

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

[ The manliest hug ever. ]

You too! It feels like it's been ages.

spam!

[batmanschmatman]

[You have no idea. :| ]

So, Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever - which apparently has me in it although I definitely don't remember ever wearing this outfit or looking like that - or Batman and Robin? There's like, two other ones but they're by different directors or something.

spam!

I wanna see my best man on the big screen. Which one with you came first?

spam!

[batmanschmatman]

Ironically, Batman Forever, I think, if the copyright dates on the back are accurate. Seriously though, look at this guy! He looks nothing like me!
