† wally west | the flash

Video;

Either I’ve walked into the biggest movie set I’ve ever seen, or this is one messed up universe you guys have got here.

[ Despite his stated concerns the face on the screen wears an easy smile. It’s the only thing that’s quite visible anyway, as the rest of his head is covered in red spandex, white lenses over the eyes, and two golden decorations rather like hood ornaments, if you ask Batman.

Yes, it’s the Flash. And he doesn’t seem to have noticed, even a little bit, that the name attached to his communicator clearly says “Wally West”. ]

I don’t suppose any of you guys have heard of the Justice Lords? I didn’t see them around but after last time I just want to make sure.

Anyway, I’m with the Justice League, and I’m here to help! So if somebody could just point me towards Metro Tower, I think I got a little turned around somewhere in Kansas.

I hope you're impressed by the act of willpower it's taking for me not to crack a Wizard of Oz joke right now. Especially since you'd be Toto.

Haven't heard of the Metro Tower or the Justice Lords -- whoever they are, they sound kinda full of themselves, if you don't mind my saying -- but the Justice League, sure. I'm not entirely sure who's in the League and who's not, but there're a bunch of folks from your universe here already.

Great minds think alike, huh? I had the same thought ten minutes ago. Only I'm Dorothy, which makes you the Scarecrow. Tough luck there.

They got a headquarters you can point me to?

Nah, his singing voice was way better than mine.

Headquarters? Not that I can remember. People come and go so often, if they've got a regular meeting space I don't think it's publicized. I'd say Max Lord could put you in touch -- he used to work with a version of your team, right? -- but he's out of the country right now. Hopefully someone you know'll show up here, eh?

Man, if we're still in space I'm gonna have a hell of a time getting in touch with everyone. Why does everybody have to be so slow?

[Spidey looks him up and down, gaze lingering on the lightning bolt.] Lemme guess -- speedster? Teleportation, something like that?

[ He grins like he's totally hot stuff. ] Fastest man alive. I'm the Flash.

Snappy, rolls off the tongue, good for puns. I like it. I'm Spider-Man, which is a smidge more on the nose, but I've gotten used to it.

You might not want to announce that first part right off the bat when you meet Quicksilver, though. He might take exception.

Spider-Man, that's not bad. Batman dresses like a giant bat and he manages pretty well for himself.

And hey, if he wants to race you can call him up right now.

Yeah, Bats is good people, or the one I knew was, anyway. Still have no idea how he could pull those flips with that cape.

Oh, no. [He holds up his hands.] I'm not getting into the middle of a powers oneupmanship fight. I was just warning you not to start one.

Hey, there's nothing like a good clean race between Speedsters. Me and Supes never got to finish ours.

I'll take your word for it. Web-slinging races usually devolve into taunts, traps, and general chaos. But hey, that's half the fun.

Well that's just poor sportsmanship. [ Wally, that's exactly how it went with Superman. ]

At least I can promise I won't destroy anything in the process. On purpose.

Oh, city maintenance is gonna just love this, I can tell already.

You should probably know that public sentiment among the locals ain't exactly imPort -- that's us -- friendly at the moment.

Would it help if I cleaned up the mess? Once I get started it doesn't take long.

Pfft, when is fear-mongering ever handled that easily?

Okay, in fairness, it probably would help. Can you actually speed up rebuilding the masonry and asphalt, though? 'Cause if you can, that's all your job worries settled right there.

Never, but everyone loves a good show!

I could speed up the process, but not the drying. Don't want to rebuild a whole block only to have it fall down the next month.

Yikes. Yeah, that's kind of why I was wondering. That's one scenario that would definitely not earn you any popularity points.

So, what are your other skills besides running and accelerated construction? Can you juggle? Crochet, maybe?

If I could I would, but I'm not about to put hundreds of people at risk just to make myself look good. [ See, his heart is in the right place! ]

Never learned, but I'm a pretty quick study.
