[ Those viewing the network will be greeted with the sight of a young man with red hair and green eyes wearing a tight-lipped smile on his face. He's really trying to keep it together. He's been taken away from his family and friends again. ]

I'm starting to think I'm the punchline to the worst joke in the universe. Though I have to admit this place is a step up from where I spent my last involuntary vacation.

[ Of course his last vacation consisted of him being stuck in the Speed Force for years with only his own thoughts to keep him company. ]

Since it appears I'm not going anywhere for the foreseeable future, I figured I should introduce myself. My name is Wally. [ Have a wave, people. ] I'm from Earth. Well, an Earth. I would tell you people some more about me, but I'm a pretty boring guy these days.

[ That's not exactly true. But, the purpose behind him addressing the network is to gather any information he can rather than revealing it. ]

So, what's the deal here? I know what the welcoming committee had to say, but you know how they have a habit of making things sound more grandeur than things are. [ Rather, he isn't sure just how truthful they were being. ] There was a lot of weird stuff going on back home and I just want to make sure this isn't connected somehow.

[ He sighs, running a hand through his hair. What is his life. ]

Whatever information I could get would be appreciated. [ He flashes a much more genuine smile. ] Heck, I'd settle for just knowing where the best place to get a drink is.

Comments

[ Wally hopes Clark wouldn't mind that he shared that tidbit with his son. ]

It wasn't a whole lot but everything was nice.

[supersweet]

Okay, but what was it?

[otherflash]

It was just along the lines of how thankful he is to have you.

[supersweet]

[ Oh. That . . . wasn't surprising, but it still warms the quiet insecure part in Jon. ]

Oh. That's nice. I didn't think he'd say something like that. I haven't gone on any proper missions. Or done anything.

[otherflash]

I know it's tough, but the missions will come if you still want them.

The Flash made me wait too.

[supersweet]

It's fine. Dad said I could try some here.

And Damian will probably drag me into something.

[otherflash]

You're friends with Damian?

[supersweet]

[ who even knows ]

I guess?

[otherflash]

[ That sounds about right from what Dick had told him about Damian. ]

Well you two try not to get into too much trouble.

[supersweet]

[ sweats nervously. ]

Of course not. We wouldn't get into trouble at all.

[otherflash]

[ Jon, you can't honestly expect him to believe that. ]

Right. And me and the Robin I knew never got into trouble either.

Just try to be smart about it.

[supersweet]

[ For him, it's a new thing. Jon doesn't really act out. The rules imposed on him are stricter, tighter. ]

You won't tell my dad, right? He won't get it.

[otherflash]

[ Wally isn't so much encouraging that type of behavior as he is accepting it's probably going to happen based on his own experiences growing up. ]

I won't tell as long as you promise to come to me if there's ever a problem.

[supersweet]

[ Jon considers this for a long time before nodding. ]

Deal.

[otherflash]

I'm going to hold you to that.

And don't let Damian boss you around too much.

[supersweet]

I'll try my best.
