Newbie Meet N' Greet

[cityship]

Meet n' Greet, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat! Unfortunately, the newbie meet and greet takes place the same time the command staff is congregating, so they might be a little late to the party.

But the crew is there to welcome the newcomers and explain their situation. At the end of the milling and spilling about, the command staff is going to start a general meeting to apprise everyone of their situation and discuss their next course of action:

Getting off the damn ship.

Bart shrugged and zoomed the map and pen back to where he'd found it. Someday, someone would podpop and find their map had an incredibly detailed and complicated chart detailing a few years of superhero history, but they could deal with that when the time came.

He reappeared a second later and grinned. "Thanks for trying to tell me anyways. I bet I'll be a great Flash. Way better than Wally."

"Well, from what I saw, you did alright. And for the record, Wally's good at what he does. It's not easy raising two superspeedy kids and saving the world."

Bart shook his head so fast his face blurred. "No way Wally has kids. Wally hates kids."

Static held up two fingers. "Twins. I've only met them once, but for their age, they seem pretty cool. They don't have speed, though. His son can be super strong by making his muscles huge, his daughter can phase through stuff. He's a pretty cool guy; you're lucky to have him for a mentor...later on."

"Nonononono. Wally hates kids. He's not my mentor, Max Mercury is." Bart shook his head, scowling. "If he had kids, he'd probably just make Jesse raise 'em or something. He doesn't do sidekicks. Not that I'd wanna be even if I could."

"Trust me, Bart. He changes in a few years. So do you. So does Max..." Static's voice gets quieter as he says the last bit. No one seems to know what happened to Max Mercury; he just disappeared. Like most speedsters seem to.

"What happened to Max?" Bart was suddenly right in Static's face, grabbing the sides of his coat. "Tell me! Is he okay? Is he proud of me?"

[static-shock68.livejournal.com]

"As far as I know, he's fine. But, that doesn't say much... I've never actually met him. And, seeing as you usually look happy, I'm gonna assume he's proud of you."

Bart beamed. "That's good. Maybe the future's pretty cool even if it is confusing. And I-- BRAINY!" he said as he caught site of the Coluan. "Itwasnicetalkingtoyoubye!"he said as he vanished in a blur.
