Characters: Wally West + You!
Date: Mornings of 07/11 - 07/13.
Location: Earth Sector, Metal Sector, and Wood Sector
Situation: Wally's trying to get back into the swing of some kind of a training routine since he's been letting things slip over the last few months. He's trying his hardest to deal with things on a normal (read non-speedster) level, but habits are hard to break and sometimes being a speedster sucks.
Warnings/Rating: None to be had aside from any possible injuries if Wally should blackout while exercising (nothing more extreme than scrapes, bruises, etc.); will update if necessary.

Starters are inside with general prompts; feel free to start them off/have your character bump into Wally however you wish (even join in on the exercise!). Open to starting new CR, playing catch-up on events, or just slice-of-life chit-chat.

[ Day one, Wally's sticking with basics. Jogging and running are his thing and he knows them well. With the rationing going on (even with the extra he's been mysteriously receiving from some strange benefactor), he's learning how to pace himself normally. This not be the best, considering his heightened metabolism, but it's something, right?

Running's almost like breathing for him - it takes some adjustment, but eventually starts to figure out a pace that works. The whole Earth Sector's going to be his track; the solid ground beneath his feet has him steady and confident. If he's ever going to be at the peak of his training, it'll be here. ]

[Ever since they found the sacrifice ring, Catty's been splitting her time between Vanessa and wandering around Keeliai. Just in case there's more than one of them. Her left forearm is still kind of...made out of shadow, due to her shapeshifting mishap when powers went crazy, but she's almost gotten used to it by now. She ignores whatever strange looks she gets, and hums happily to herself as she walks through the Earth Sector. Considering all the clothes there, it's probably her favourite.

She spots Wally running and tilts her head at him a little. She's totally checking him out. A moment or two passes before she whistles at him, grinning] Looking good!

[ The last thing Wally expected while going jogging was- well, who was he kidding? Wally West had the unfortunate habit of thinking he was a highly desirable young man. He was the Wall-Man, after all, but still that was something that did manage to draw his attention. The speedster began to look around after the whistle and then caught sight of Catty. He hadn't seen this girl around before, but he still offered a bright grin and waved.

Only to lose complete and utter control of his feet that sent him stumbling flat onto his face with a loud yelp. Going at a normal pace was apparently very dangerous. He wasn't exactly sure if it was the embarrassment that was keeping him kissing the ground or the actual pain burning across his forehead. ]

[He hits the ground and Catty can't help but giggle. She almost instantly slaps the hand she still has left over her mouth to stop it, but it's too late. Still grinning, she jogs over to Wally and holds that hand out to him to help him up] Sorry! I didn't mean to distract you.

[That's...kind of a lie, but she didn't mean for him to hit the ground]

[ Wally hears some of the giggling and it does manage to get him to flush, which is honestly a good thing. The boy's ego is honestly too inflated for his age. He glances up slowly, his cheeks still pink, and takes the hand offered to him, choosing to just sit up instead of stand. Guess it's time for a breather any way. ]

Not a problem. [ He laughs weakly and reaches to rub the back of his head. ]

Normally I'd have slid off and crashed right into something. This is kinda of an improvement. [ At least he's starting to take it with a bit of humor. ] Name's Wally.

[He doesn't stand, so Catty shrugs and drops easily to the ground next to him]

Do you have some kind of medical condition that stops you from running without hurting yourself? [There's a pause] Oh goddess, you don't, do you? Because that would make me super insensitive right now. [She groans a little, burying her face in her hands] I'm Catty. And kind of a dork, apparently.

[ Wally laughs a little, the red on his cheeks deepening some. ]

Not a medical condition, I guess, just a little... uh, hiccup in the gears, I guess. [ Wow, that does sound wrong, doesn't it? The speedster huffs softly and drops his arms to rest across his knees. ]

Nice to meet ya, Catty, and- yeah, it's more like, uhm- how to put this... You know how there are people with special powers here? [ He's testing the waters there, cause he's not, and probably can't be sure, if this girl has any powers of her own. ]

[Catty makes a face and turns a little to make her own mishap visible. The shadow that is her left forearm at the moment waves a little bit, looking suitably creepy.] Trust me, I know all about both hiccups and powers at the moment. I got stuck halfway through shape-shifting. [Tilting her head a little] You've got some kind of running power, then?

Shape...shifting? [ That catches his attention right away - he's familiar with a couple of shapeshifters and they have one thing in common, so it begs the question: ] Are you a Martian?

[ Yes, that is said with the most serious expression ever. ]

And yeah- regular speedster here, haha. Without the speed for the time being.

[She pauses and then starts to laugh] Actually, for like nearly ten years, I totally thought I was. Or some kind of alien. But no, I'm not. [She doesn't clarify that she's definitely human, though]

Oh, there's a name for it? So like, there's more of you?

[Shayera had been trying to get out more, especially after the fight with Galatea still fresh in her mind. It's now that she gets a little homesick, not for Thanagar, but for Earth. And she's missing her fellow League members more than ever about now. Hell, she'd even take Wally's lame jokes about now, just to feel a little better.

So when she sees a familiar looking head of red hair running through the Earth Sector, her hopes are raised just that little bit. Sure he's not running at any of his "normal" speeds, but powers are on the fritz, so it doesn't concern her too much. She runs after the speedster, probably feeling a little happier than she should right now.] Wally, is that you?

[ Hearing a voice calling after him, Wally takes a quick look over his shoulder, enough to maybe show his eyes, a flash of green. He slows down to a stop and hunches over a bit, hands to his knees as he catches his breath for a moment. ]

Hey- [ Small huff, and then he straightens out and turns around, revealing- that he's very much not Flash. ]

Sorry about that, Miss. What's up? [ He offers the woman a grin, not recognizing her as a Hawkgirl - he's only over seen the one from his universe in her full costume. ]

[The smile drops from her face as she gets a good look at who she's talking to. He responded to Wally, and he looks like him, just a lot younger. Like ten years younger, and there's no hiding the confusion on her face from it.] Wally West?

[Why are you a kid?]

[ Wally nods, wondering where this is going, exactly, because he's pretty sure he's never seen this woman before, despite the familiar feeling. It's kind of like saying you've seen someone who looks a lot like a movie star. ]

Yep. Do we know each other? [ He cocks his head to the side, starting to suspect if this is one of those alternate-universe things... and if he's just hurt another person like he hurt Kyle. ]

We will in about ten years. [Unless this is another different universe, in which case, she won't bother. Even so, finding one of your good friends as a teenager... this is going to take some getting used to, despite the possible hilarious perks it'll come with.]

Name's Shayera Hol. We're teammates on the Justice League in my time. [She says as if he should know, forgetting he might not know what that is.]

[ Oh- okay. Wally blinks a little a that. there is one way to check on this whole situation, at least from Wally's end isn't there?

He leans his weight back a bit, hands resting against the small of his back. ]

This the same Justice League with the artist for the Green Lantern? Or the pilot? ... The architect? [ He's hoping he got those right; he was sure on Hal being the pilot, because he was his uncle Barry's best friend. As for John, he kind of assumed from the guy's constructs. ]

[That changes her expression from neutral to confusion. He knew about the Justice League? He could've heard about it here, that's an option.] Just the architect, John Stewart. The other Green Lanterns aren't members. [Last she checked, at least. But if he thinks they're all members of the League, that doesn't add up.]

[ Well, that answers that for him. Wally frowns just a bit, cause this has happened again. Someone's expecting him to be the Wally from some other world, and he, through no fault of his own, disappoints. It's no one's fault, but still- he gets that it can suck. ]

Not the League where I'm from. Mr. Stewart's a Lantern with Hal Jordan. Theeen, there's Guy Gardner- and not many people like him, for some reason I dunno. [ From the few times Wally's met him, he's liked him. Then it hits him to mention- ]

I'm not The Flash where I'm from. [ Though, hey, it's something to look forward to, evident by the grin on his face. ] Kid Flash.

[She would've liked to have her own Wally with her, but so far, she's getting the feeling the two aren't that different aside from a decade.] From the stories John told me, he's one heck of an arrogant jerk at times.

[Kid Flash, huh? That must be one of the universes with Barry Allen as Flash. She can't quite resist the light smirk on her face to go with a quip.] Suits you better when you're pint-sized like this.

Eh, really? [ The speedster shrugged. Could have fooled him, but semi-like minds and all...

That remark about being pint-sized, though- it gets a very, very teenaged pout out of the speedster aimed right at Shayera. ]

Hey, I'm perfectly sized for my age.

Wow, you even pout like him. [Except a lot younger and with freckles, but it's funny anyway. She can't help but smirk.] True, but you're pint-sized to me. [She's got a good few inches on you, Wally.]

[ Well, that actually gets him to pause for a second, the look dropping off his face. He stares up at Shayera for that moment in silence. ]

So I'm really like this other- "me?" [ This sort of thing's not hanging over his head at all, is it? ]

I can't tell quite yet. [She only met him five minutes ago, and so far he only runs, pouts, and looks like her Wally. All she can do is shrug.] I don't know you well enough. But if you happen to have an endless appetite, a tendency to make bad jokes, and a heart of gold, then you might be a little like him. But I'm not expecting you to be some kind of replacement. [That wouldn't be fair to anybody, least of all Wally.]

[ Day two, Wally's deciding to sharpen some of his other skills in the Metal Sector; sure he's no star acrobat, but he's not too bad either. In a fight, he's more than capable of dodging and moving about a complex space like a champ. It's not exactly parkour, what he's doing, but it's close enough. The whole sector's a playground of buildings of various shapes and sizes, connected in a myriad number of ways. The trick is to never stop moving, to put your all into everything and let your body adjust naturally.

Today has him a little more winded than yesterday, but still he's pushing. He wouldn't be Kid Flash if he weren't persistant. Or if he wasn't willing to take risky moves that might tick off a whole bunch of people. ]

[Damian'd checked the vitals as soon as the speedster collapsed, watching it with a scowl on his face, wondering if he should get him somewhere more comfortable and call Grayson using his communicator, when the redhead started stirring. The boy's expression wiped into his usual haughty grimace, and when Wally's eyes blinked open and focused on him, he drawled.]

Have you ever considered yoga?

[ Wally really should have decided to take a break before then, but noooooo. He had big aspirations about making it from one end of the sector to the other before doing that. Of course, about three-quarters of the way, he ended falling from a relatively low wall as he swooned. His vision had gone dark around the edges and then- down he went like a fallen tree.

The next thing he realizes, there's someone standing over him and he hears that familiar voice. It was suddenly very annoying, and he refused to open his eyes. ]

Not enough movement.

>Tt.< Considering the rate at which you are overestimating yourself, you definitely should consider it.

[Fine. You were stupid, West, that wasn't even Damian's fault.]

[ Did this kid really just say what Wally thought he said? The speedster immediately sat up and fought off a wave of dizziness that came with it, offering the brunet a small glare. ]

I'm not overestimating anything, kid.

No? Which passing out is this one?

[The glare got a flat stare back.]

[ The speedster was glaring daggers at the little brat now. God help him if any of his maybe-future kids wind up like this one. ]

None of your business how many.

Only prove I am correct.

Come on, I am capable of showing you exercises that will not break you this way.

Uh-huh, I totally believe you. [ Wally got to his feet and dusted himself off quickly, and then went about stretching. Probably better to do that now, anyway, rather than let his soon-to-be bruised body rage against him. ]

[Damian. Just watched him, then shook his head, shrugging.]

Do not do damage to yourself, is all that I am attempting to tell you. Your allies - friends - will not be pleased if you do.

[Annnd he turned to go.]

[ Day three, Wally's in need of of a different kind of pushing. The last two days've left him sore after months of barely doing anything, but he can't give up. Back in his home sector, he's gonna be stretching out and working on his flexibility and strength. He's hanging from branches, doing pull-ups, push-ups, and basically monkeying around. Today's a day for relaxing and having some fun with things! ]

[Hazel's is just sort of wandering around Wood taking a moment to really look at the sector more than trying to find her way now. She didn't count on finding a kid working out and yet it's sort of familiar to her life at camp. She watches for a few moments before edging closer.

She doesn't typically bother people when their in the middle of things but she figures it couldn't hurt to see if he might like a partner. It'd be a waste to allow her training to fall by the wayside and it could provide an interesting distraction if nothing else.]

Could you use a partner?

[ Wally was in the middle of some pull-ups from a relatively low-hanging branch. It was certainly harder than he remembered; he'd really let himself go ever since the rationing had gone into effect what seemed like months ago. His focus on the act broke and he looked over to the girl with a grin on his face, sweat beading down it. ]

Wouldn't mind one. [ He let go of the branch and dropped down into a crouch before straightening out. ] Name's Wally. Wally West.

[Wandering closer Hazel smiled.] Nice to meet you, I'm Hazel Levesque.

Nice to meet ya as well. So what do you say we stretch out first? [ Wally already went through all that, but he figured there was nothing wrong with doing another round. Today was all about taking things easy. In fact, he started off, bending one arm overhead and reaching with his other hand to grab at his elbow; he then pulled on it to stretch his tricep. ]

Haven't seen you around before. Arrive on the turtle recently? [ There was always the possibility that Wally was just unobservant. ]

Yeah that'd be good. [Stretching wouldn't hurt in the long run depending on how long she worked out with him. Widening her stance a bit Hazel leaned to the side pushing her hip out to stretch her side and did the same to the other after a few seconds.]

Yes. I got her not too long ago, a couple weeks ago I think. I haven't been keeping very good track of time.

Oh? And is it your first time here...? [ It may seem like an odd question, but hey- it happened to him, though he has no knowledge of it outside of what his friends have told him.

He's moved on to lunges, stretching out his legs. ]

Time gets weird like that here.
