voicetesting seemed like a good idea at the time

[fastestkidalive]

All this stuff you have to get done and you'd rather hang out with me? Aw mun, I'm touched.

Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to get your work finished. I don't need a game or anything. Gimme some space around here for a bit and I'll be just fine. I'll be here and gone in a flash! [Oh haha.]

Want any snacks? Drinks? I could pick something up from Japan or Turkey if you're craving anything. Smoothies? I could go for a good sub myself-- I'm running a bit low on fuel here.

Macaroons for dessert, maybe?

Wait--you're sharing food? What happened?

And can I have some?

[fastestkidalive]

Does something need to happen? I'm not really into fancy dinner party occasions. Too long. [Wait where did he get that taco]

Besides, when you can go anywhere in a flash, there's enough for everyone! [And he held the taco bag out to him.] Go ahead! Still fresh, straight from Mexico.

[betontheboy]

Usually you're such a hog! [As in you expect Bart to not eat all your food like he's doing right now.]

[fastestkidalive]

Aw come on, I consider myself a pretty cool guy; what kind of hero would I be if I didn't spare some grub for the little people?

[Though he's admittedly never seen someone at as much as him before. Is that what he seems like to other people?]

[betontheboy]

I'm not little! Maybe a bit short ... but you're kind of short right now too.

[fastestkidalive]

Just a figure of speech. I'm no Superman, but I wouldn't sell myself short, shortie. Just your average-sized, good looking, generously fed speedster! I'm a growing boy, after all.

[betontheboy]

You're not growing, you're shrinking! Unless time travel or alternate universes are involved, I guess.

[fastestkidalive]

Shrinking?

[Uuuuh?] I doubt it has anything to do with me actually having a shift in time or atomic structure, so I'm gonna go ahead and guess it's a time travel thing.

Are you one of the people that knows me in the future? 'Cause there seems to be a lot of those.

[betontheboy]

That's right, I'm your cousin! This isn't the first time I've seen you like this, but you usually remember me.

[fastestkidalive]

Cousin?!

[That sound you may have heard was his brain crashing.]

Uh... I'm gonna go with a larger multiverse theory then, because I'm pretty sure Uncle Barry doesn't have a kid yet....

[betontheboy]

Yeah, if you're that young, dad and Aunt Dawn wouldn't be born yet.

--I mean. He could have kids in the future. The far future! Like the 30th century!

--not that uh I mean [NO ONE TELL MAX ABOUT THIS] definitely the multiverse.

[fastestkidalive]

You're from the 30th century?

[Come on you really think you can sneak anything past another speedster.]

Doesn't that make you my second cousin?

[betontheboy]

31st. [Well, that's not really a secret, right?]

Um, I dunno? Cousin's easier anyway. All I know is you're usually super old.

[fastestkidalive]

Huh. Cool. Did we ever get those hoverboards in mass market they always showed on the sci fi movies? Always thought those would be fun.

--Hey, does this handsome face looks like it'll get that old? Besides, where I am it's only he 21st century, so unless my metabolism also slows down my cell's growth speed I'd be over a thousand years old before you're born, so I'm guessing I'll already be skeleton by then.

Unless future me figures out how to run forward in time. That'd be cool too.

[betontheboy]

Hoverboards are slow, jetpacks too. Flight rings are cool but they're Legionnaire-only.

Yeah! You get really old! And grumpy! Not as grumpy as Max but he's got Zen powers of Grump or something. But you didn't go to the future, I came to the past.

You can run to the future if you want, though.
