I have to say, all the many downsides aside? This is pretty cool. We're basically in the Star Trek future. With aliens!  I mean, I've met an alien before, in a different universe, but she did look fairly human. Aside from the whole faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to fly thing she had.

Anyways, hi. [He gives a little wave.] My name's Barry Allen, and I'm the Flash.  Not this universe's version of the Flash, though. I'm from a different one entirely. It's similar, but they showed me a couple pictures of the one from this reality and he wore a lot more spandex than I'm entirely comfortable with.

Getting off of that, it's nice to meet you guys, and I look forward to working with all of you.

Cheats, huh?

[It's said in a fairly disbelieving tone.]

[whyarewehere]

look you don't have to believe me but i'm telling you. cheater cheater.

[turntex]

hes crazy dont worry
i mean how can you cheat in a race
short of like steroids or tripping the other guy but i promise not to do the latter and i doubt steroids would help much against crazy superspeed anyway

[rushing_by]

Trust me, given the right knowledge and abilities, there's a lot of things you can do against crazy superspeed.

So, what's your power?

[turntex]

shenanigans

[rushing_by]

Any of these shenanigans involve slowing down time?

[He's already had to deal with the Turtle, he knows it's a thing that can happen.]

[turntex]

sometimes
i mean in a race its pretty much just speeding myself up in relation to everything else which is not really that different from superspeed so it seems pretty fair game to me

[rushing_by]

It's not entirely the same thing. Usually, when I run, unless I time travel I'm not altering how time flows, I'm just running really fast and speeding up my perception along with it. If it was a time thing I'd probably wouldn't have had so many issues with keeping up my glucose levels.

[turntex]

close enough
still results in me going fast so the mechanics are kind of a moot point

[turntex]

dude get over it already you lost fair and fuckin square

[whyarewehere]

except not either of those things.

[turntex]

powers were determined to be fair game and i didnt do shit to you
thus
fair as snow white and geometrically perfect
suck it up

[whyarewehere]

that is still bullshit and you still know it.

[rushing_by]

Are either of you going get around to explaining what actually happened?

[whyarewehere]

he cheated dude i just told you. read a little.

[turntex]

i dont know shit
i am ignorant and unknowing as a fresh newborn still covered in uterus goop

[whyarewehere]

ew.
