voicetesting seemed like a good idea at the time

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?

[What.]

Barry?

[That gets a boggled look, followed by a headshake.]

'Fraid you got the wrong guy, kid.

[fastestkidalive]

[And that boggled look just gets a boggled look in return.] Uh... Jay? I didn't think he had a costume like that thought...

[...]

Does this mean dimension-hopping lessons are off the table?

[slowcialgraces]

[Another headshake.] Wrong again.

[However, the weirdness of things, that voice, and red hair...

Flash squats down and leans in, then squints.]

...don't tell me your name is Wally.

[fastestkidalive]

[He leaned away a bit in response, a slight look of surprise on his face at the deduction.]

Most people around call me Kid Flash, but-- that's right! How'd you know that?

Well, I guess it makes sense if you're dressed up as the Flash, but only in some weird, universal planes kind of way.

[slowcialgraces]

[WELP. While it's not the weirdest thing, it's still pretty weird.]

Well, you're dressed like me, you sound like me, and you've got red hair - it doesn't take Batman to put those pieces together.

...so yeah, if you're some kind of alternate universe kid-me, dimension-hopping is proooooobably best left off the table.

[fastestkidalive]

You're me?!

[Dude

dude

Dude]

Now that is cool! [Yeah hope you don't mind kid-you zipping around excitedly.] I get to be the Flash?! Do I get my own Tower or Lair and everything? You work Batman? He still around?

The Titans are gonna flip.

[slowcialgraces]

Sort of! Kinda. In that we're both Wally Wests with speed powers, but there's obviously some major differences here.

[Man, being a buzzkill is bad enough, but having to buzzkill his kid-self? That's just wrong.]

I don't know what happened to you - I didn't get any powers until I was an adult, so I have no idea what's with the reversed colors, so I can't really gauge what your future has in store.

[fastestkidalive]

[Well, he stops zipping around, but-- oddly enough, not that buzz-killed.]

Well, we could compare notes. I got my powers from an accidental mix of a chemical explosion and a lightning strike a while back. My Uncle Barry was already the Flash, so I became his sidekick and got a cooler color palette. If we're already still kind of the same, there'll be similarities even if it's an alternate timeline, right?

After that I went solo around the world for a while and hooked up with the Teen Titans as a favor.

[slowcialgraces]

Same here, but I haven't played sidekick to anyone, and like I said, it happened once I was an adult. No uncle Barry, either.

I was solo for a while save for the odd team-up, until this big nasty alien invasion happened and me and a bunch of heroes banded together to stop it. After that, Superman got the idea to start up the Justice League.

[There's a pause, and then he frowns accusingly at the smaller Wally.] Heeeeey, what's wrong with this much red?

[fastestkidalive]

No Uncle Barry?! So he never married Aunt Iris? [Well that was lame. 8[ ]

Oh-- nothing. [He says with a grin.] You look just like lightpeed firetruck. Very stylish. Sounds like the story of Robin putting together the Titans, actually. But we never got to meet Superman.
