[ Hey-ho, there's a martian on the network again! Except this one is green and a short haired redhead. She's also been kind of MIA for the past 2 weeks, but that's her own business. (And the Porter's.) ]

This is probably a really lazy way to go about this, but ... Is anyone hiring? Not really feeling the whole part time journalist anymore.

And, um. If anyone's seen Impulse lately, can you let me know? He's pretty short, brown-red hair, talks faster than a bullet... I haven't seen him around, lately.

[ She's tried his communicator and come up with nothing. This is an easier way of getting it onto the network than shoving bad news on everyone. ]

Not in any import cities.

Give me maybe a half hour and I'll be able to say whether or not he's missing for sure.

[bioshift]

Please do. I tried keeping track of him after the registration ceremony, but I lost him a few days ago.

[...and more than a half hour later, because as worried as Jaime is about Bart going AWOL, moving that much, that fast is enough to make a guy dizzy.

Which is to say, he really started regretting eating dinner about halfway through in a very big way.]

Unless he decided to go on another international trip then he's been ported out. I don't know if he'd tell me if he decided to go [in fact, he's pretty damn sure Bart wouldn't with the amount the kid's been avoiding him these days] but I don't think he'd leave without telling ANYONE.

Sadly I work at a newspaper myself, so all the jobs I could end up offering are related to that. Sorry, M'gann.

But about Impulse... how long has it been since anyone has seen him?

audio;

[bioshift]

No worries; I'm sure I can find something. I shouldn't even really be asking on the Network. It's such a cop-out.

Not sure about anyone else, but ... The last I've heard it was a few days ago. Maybe even close to a week.

audio;

[andaway]

It's not a cop-out, you're making use of your resources to find a job.

[There's a pause where only a bit of a 'hmm' can be heard. He can't deny he's worried, but if it's just been a week at the most, and considering this is a Flash they are talking about... and anyway, it wouldn't make sense for Mr Kent to worry too much.] Has this happened before? People disappearing for a short while, then appearing again.

[ No ID printed.

Howdy howdy howdy it's Peej in costume with a curious frown on her face. ]

When is the last time you saw him?

private | video

[bioshift]

[ Whoops, does she feel scolded? ... Well no, actually. ]

In person? The registration ceremony. He was getting the inhibitor collar off my neck. Since then ... I dunno. I thought he was just keeping a low profile.

[boobwindow]

Speedsters and "low profile" don't go together sometimes.

Inhibitor collar? I thought those were dealt with.

[performance]

... I can't reach him on the comms.

video | private

[bioshift]

No... Neither can I.

[ And clearly, this is one of the bigger 'not okay' things to happen this week. ]

[performance]

Who else is looking?

[ Better to ask than to go hacking private conversations, even if the urge is there. ]

[ Well, she certainly looks familiar in terms of her complexion. It makes Arthur wonder- and ask a question that has probably been asked of M'Gann a million times. ]

Excuse me- but are you familiar with a man named J'onn?

video;

[bioshift]

[ Ping ping! That's a name she hasn't heard in a while (here and back home). So no, not asked at all, actually. ... Also your fishy face looks awfully familiar. ]

J'onn J'onzz? Yes, he's my uncle.

[notafishwhisperer]

[ Uncle. Arthur blinks in shock for a second. In all of the League's dealings with the Martian Manhunter, that never popped up. ]

I see. He- or a version of him, is an acquaintance of mine. [ A nice name for someone the League had to fight once upon a time. ]

Have you been here long?

[aggressiveapathy]

What can you do?

[bioshift]

That ... depends. It's kind of hard to narrow down a set of skills when telekinesis can sort of do a lot of things for me. Handiwork, heavy lifting, transport... I guess office work, too.

[bioshift]

Blue and I have been looking...

I think he's been Ported out.

[redhairring]

Cute haircut. [ freddie has priorities. ]

[bioshift]

[ INSTANTLY there's a hand on the ends of her hair, moving it against her neck in an almost self conscious manner. ]

Thanks. Although it's not really a cut- I just sort of made it shorter.

[motherboxes]

I thought it seemed quieter lately. I am not the best with this stuff the way Paco is but I can't manage to get ahold of him either. So...I'm guessing that means he went home?

[Yeah, Brenda can pretty much put two and two together on just who she is looking for. But unfortunately can't offer any more help than that.]

video;

[bioshift]

[ Quieter. Ahaha... It did seem so, didn't it? ]

I'm almost positive that's what it means. ...Unfortunately.

text, about a day later

[slingshots]

[bioshift]

I thought so.

Thank you.
