001 mph [ accidental video / audio ]

[A pair of white eyes are staring into the screen. It pans down a bit; nostrils flare as he literally sniffs his communicator. Apparently finding nothing off about the scent, he pulls away and the City is treated to its first glimpse of the Flash in all his red-and-yellow glory. Judging by the lighting and the relatively deserted square, it's probably a few hours before sunrise.

He's pressing at his ear.]

Flash to Watchtower.

[Silence.]

Helloooo? Watchtower? ...J'onn? Mr. Terrific?

[No reply.]

Anyone?

[He glares down at the communicator before a realization dawns on him and his eyes widen in surprise.]

Is this thing recording me? Ugh, that's creepy. What are you, anyway?!

[A large red finger pokes around until the video feed is cut...but he is still audible.]

...Maybe I'll need it. Aw, jeez, have I been hero-napped? Guess I better find out where I am. Kinda sorta looks like Gotham...this thing probably isn't friction proof.... Heh, a giant carousel. That's not weird.

[Some shifting and popping. A few minutes later, muffled:]

WHAT THE HECK?!

It's not at all edible, but you're welcome to try taking bite.

[ OMG it's like looking at walking, talking, sniffing, finger-poking incarnation of Big Red!!! ]

...Hero-napped?

I'm Luke Valentine. Welcome to the City that took you from your homeworld.

[Don't run and text, kids!]

Aw, thanks, that's nice--

video 2/2

[fastest_dude_ever]

Waaaait. City that took me from my home world?

Are you one of those enigmatic riddle type dudes?

[screeeeech. He stops.]

'Cause I'm not gonna lie, I don't get it.

[fastest_dude_ever]

[Apparently, he has realized that his thingie broadcasted his surprise!video and he is okay with it, because he is never embarrassed. He's also figured out that he can use the thingie while running.]

Yeah, like kidnapped! Only, I'm not a kid! Legally.

...Do you not know who I am?

Re: video 2/2

[valentineluke]

Well, 'Alice', you went down a rabbit hole of sorts.

[fastest_dude_ever]

Fine, that was transparent enough for me. If you're saying what I think you're saying, I'm in some sort of wacky parallel universe. And I can't escape because I've already tried. Three times. Right, Mr. Christmas?

[silvering]

You have been hero-napped by a group of deities like most of us around here.

Audio

[fastest_dude_ever]

Deities? Are we talking people who call themselves that, or honest to goodness deities? 'Cause I'm pretty dang tired of the former.

[orangetoughguy]

Holy shit.

Audio

[fastest_dude_ever]

Agreed, dude.

Audio

[orangetoughguy]

Did you find anybody?

video

[mortemscintilla]

[ ...fghkl is that what those motion blurs are?!!... ]

I... see. [ Except he kind of doesn't. (Not your fault, Flash. He's just. Slow on the uptake. Or pretends to be while he's incognito, anyway.) At the question, he looks vaguely apologetic. ] I-I'm afraid I don't, sir.

[tangledintower]

[Why is this guy wearing a bodysuit. Rapunzel is confused.]

Hero-napped?

[That sounds like kidnapping. He must be new.]

I guess that technically is a good way to describe arriving in the City, actually...

Re: video

[valentineluke]

All too right.

It's currently summer and the year is 2013.

Audio

[fastest_dude_ever]

From the JL? Uh, no. From what I've been hearing, I'm in some weird alternate dimension thing...

[Gasp!]

Wait, you know about the Justice League?!

video

[fastest_dude_ever]

C'mon! Fastest man alive? Protector of Central City? Founding member of the Justice League...?

[You're bruising the man's ego here!]

video

[mortemscintilla]

[ He's sorry, his derpy shounen self can't help it ;; ]

Central City? Where's that? [ bloopbloop ] And what's the Justice League? Is it a band or something?

Audio

[orangetoughguy]

Do I.

[Wait no Freddy that's not how you answer this kind of question.]

I've heard of you guys, I've never met any of you.

Video

[fastest_dude_ever]

Are superheroes just not a thing here?

Audio and loling so hard irl.

[fastest_dude_ever]

Holy-- so are you from where I'm from?!

Audio bwahahaha

[orangetoughguy]

I'm from Los Angeles, 1992. Well it's kind of like 1995 now. But I haven't been back since I got here.

Video

[tangledintower]

[blink blink. Superhero is a very broad term.]

Well, we have heroes...and some of them have superpowers...yeah, we have superheroes, I think.

[They're just not very active.]

So, you're a superhero then?
