( 001 ) video

[sciencewhizard]

[ Today's exploration of Miami has taken him the way of a bakery, which he's just leaving as he starts up the video feed. He has a pastel hanging out of his mouth, and its fellows are sitting in a paper bag he's holding at his side as he walks down the street. Of course, he should have probably thought this out a little more before starting up the video. He's not going to talk with his mouth open (this time), so instead, he just makes a face as he manages to open his mouth wide enough to pull the entire pastel in with his tongue. The boa constrictor mouth is not a speedster ability; it's all Wally.

The pastry's devoured in a matter of seconds and he looks to the video with a big ol' grin. ]

Sorry about that little delay, everyone. Name's Wally West, sure the pleasure's all yours. [ He laughs, so it should be obvious that he's not that conceited. Hopefully. ]

But anyway, introductions out of the way, someone please tell me they've found a good place to catch some good music around here. I mean, it's Miami, there's gotta be some hot clubs full of smokin' babes, right? [ Priorities, this one. Never mind that he's only fifteen. That's never stopped him.

Unfortunately. ]

Heck, just point me to a dance-off or something where I can get my krumping on.

[ What is going on? Why is the ID printing Dick Grayson?

Cautiously: ]

... Dick?

[ Juuust switching to audio, because: giving out more information than you're getting? Not great, as it turns out. ]

Yes?

[boobwindow]

Okay, this is officially weird.

[ Dick and Wally are teenagers? Why this. ]

[performance]

Probably, but you're gonna have to be more specific.

[ Please not this again. Once was enough. ]

[ She doubts it, but she does have to try...

She turns on the video on this end as well, staring wide-eyed. ]

You don't recognize me, do you?

permavid, then

[performance]

[ There's a pause before he ticks the video back on, studying her face for a moment. He shakes his head. ]

Sorry. Is this another "We don't know each other yet" thing?

[boobwindow]

I get the feeling it is.

It's me, Karen? Power Girl?

[ Not that she really knew Dick when he was with the Titans. ]

You know Superman, don't you?

[performance]

[ He's not used to the idea of people recognizing him as a hero outside of his costume. He hesitates for a moment before he responds. ]

... Yeah. I know Superman.

[boobwindow]

Long story short, I'm his cousin.

... From another universe, but like I said: long story.

[performance]

You're kidding. Just how many universes are there? Is someone keeping track of all this?

[boobwindow]

Nobody knows, but my guess? A lot.

[performance]

Well, in any case, it's an honor to meet you.

[boobwindow]

"Honor" is a little much.

It's nice to meet you. Sorry for catching you off guard like this.

[performance]

It's all right. There probably isn't a better time or place for it, to be honest.

And, uh, sorry about Wally.

[boobwindow]

No worries. I've dealt with him before.

[ Only now she can't threaten to murder him. ]

[performance]

... You must be a very patient woman.

[boobwindow]

I try, Dick. I try.

Has anybody filled you and Wally in yet on this place?

[performance]

I've gotten the gist of it, yeah. Alternate dimension, Cold War shenanigans, conspiracy theories like a layer cake?

[boobwindow]

Duck under a table in the case of a nuclear bomb, etc. Yep.

[ A measured pause. ]

You and Wally doing alright?

[performance]

All things considered, I think we're managing.

[boobwindow]

Did you guys arrive with any of the other Titans?

[performance]

... The what?

[boobwindow]

Teen Titans. Wonder Girl, Aqualad... Speedy?

[performance]

[ He pauses, tilting his head. ]

I know Aqualad and Speedy— oh, but he's going by Red Arrow now.

Teen Titans, though? Really?

[boobwindow]

[ Hold on a second... ]

Yes, it's your team. Well, the one you're part of. Used to be.
