[The feed clicks on to reveal a red-headed teen with yellow eyes, who's currently peering at the device like it's going to explode.]

Okay, power button. Check. I thought this could be like that episode of The Twilight Zone where they execute people by blowing up in their rooms and that maybe someone was clever for a change and made the self-destruct button look like the on/off. But! Obviously not, because I'm still here.

I think I'm getting paranoid. It's like there's this voice in my head going -

[Bart holds two fingers up to either side of his head, so they stick up through his hair like ears.]

"Trust nothing."

[He puts his arms down, and he really drops them. They're just suddenly gone, and the camera picks up maybe two frames of the action, but even that's a little lost in a yellow flash. Bart only laughs with relief.]

Hey! Look at that, they weren't lying about that either. Now, if it would just hurry up and work all the time.

So, uh. Hi. Bart Allen. Anyone know where to find the games on this thing? I gotta pass the time until the rest of you slow down.

Dude! It is you! Aw man this amazing! [Then there's a pause and his face falls. Bart is here...which means he was taken from their home and...aw damn, not so amazing anymore.]

I don't think there is? Pretty sure what I was drinking was untouched and... [Internal keysmash.]

You have no idea how happy I am to see you. Even if it's in this place.

[Yep, that's the part that's not so fun. Bart's up for trying to make the best of this, though.]

Two's better than one. Especially when it's me and you - we've got this.

But there's the hair thing.

So got this. They'lll literally never see it coming.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Hair thing? Gotta admit yours isn't as crazy!

Just as planned.

Hey - my hair was awesome. I just gave it a trim. It cuts down on drag. But yours - tell me you're not going back to the fade.

Mwa haha!!

Awesome? Seriously? Uh, no. [He frowns at that comment Bart.]

I'm rockin' it! I'm not going...oh no. [He rubs his face and sighs.] Damn.

[He's not so happy with that one either, Kon.

Carol thought my hair was cute.

Damn? Gonna say more than that, because I've got like twenty three different reasons in my head for it?

Sorry. You and me, how you look different, not a massive difference? But...y'know different. And me, clearly I'm different cause I never went away from the fade cut. Not yet any way.

[He slumps into his chair and rest his face in his hands and groans.]

Dude, you're from my future. Totally figures. No one here if from my time.

[Bart scrunches his nose at this.]

I've always been from the future. That helps, right?

This sucks. You're from the past, he's from the future. Now I'm stuck in the middle.

[He snorts and then laughs.]

Yeah I guess, duh way to totally forget that one of your buddies is from the future.

He? [There's a really long pause, even longer for you Bart, as he thinks who he is then...click!] Oh, him! Yeah. Totally used to being the 'Past' guy. So when exactly are you from? I mean people are from all over, last major thing I remember from home, was a few weeks before I got here when we all became adults.

[Bart's totally grinning at that. Success! Kon's not looking so dreary.]

I'm from - yeah, when is a super complicated question. I'm about... a year or two ahead? Linear time. Except it hasn't actually been linear for me, it's been all over the place. I can't keep track.

Wow. Sounds complicated and you don't even have to say anything. [He shrugs a little.]

It gets complicated here as well. I mean, I've seen the future? To a point. Not experienced it, seen it.

Hang on, where are you any way? Except it's probably be quicker if I told you where I was, huh?

[Bart shakes his head at this.]

I wasn't dodging the question! If I say the last thing I remember is defeating the Reverse-Flash, well, you were there, but you haven't been yet so it's not gonna do any good. That's my best guess how long it's been.

I'm in the room they gave me. It's, uh-

[Blink. Bart's gone to check exactly what building he's in. He's back a second later.]

Does ME-3B mean anything to you?

I never said you were, I just get it with the complicated thing. I guess I'm just kinda hoping it's from a point that I've seen? But it's not. Damn.

[He smiles at that.]

Metal sector. I'm Wood. We should totally meet up instead of being losers and talking over this.

Right.

[He blurs, but then he's still sitting.]

Where's Wood?

Uuh...you know what, it'll take a while but I'll come to you, I know where Metal is.

I promise I'll have this city memorized by tomorrow.

If you don't, I'll wonder who the hell you are.

[He grins.]

If I don't, the kedan have tons of explaining to do.

[Bart ends the feed here, but he goes back and forth between waiting at the door and checking for responses until Kon shows up.]

[Kon left with a slam of his door and took off in the direction of Metal. It was such an awesome feeling knowing he was going to actually going to meet his friend face to face. The past events on the turtle were temporarily forgotten as he flew as fast as he could go.

It was maybe 30 to 45 minutes before he came into the more residential area of Metal. C'mon, he's not got Conner's speed and it's a big turtle...to him any way. It takes about another five until he finds the number of the suite and knocks on the door. There's no point in talking because Bart will be there.]

[Bart is right there, because time is stretching back out the longer he's here and the more powered he gets. He's really glad it's Conner that headed over and not Tim, because that would take forever. Unless there's a Batplane here. There's apparently everything else here.

He flings open the door, pokes Kon on the chest, and grins.]

Yup, it's you. I wasn't sure - I thought maybe it was really good computer animation. Or VR. I guess it still could be VR, but I don't wanna know if it is. Hi.

[Oh look at that little huff because what the hell, people are getting taller as well. So not cool.]

No VR could capture my awesome so perfectly! Or animation either, just sayin'.

Hey!

[He invites himself in and looks around. Places are always so different here on Tu Vishan.]

Nice digs!

[Ffft. Even now, he's only caught up to past Kon. Kon will forever be able to use his head as an armrest. Just not here.

Bart doesn't mind the intrusion at all. He wasn't going to leave him at the door, after all.]

Ha! You'd be shocked. I bet you still think Playstation is high-tech.

[Bart looks around at the place as well. He's seen it, but he hasn't really paid it any attention.]

It's cool-looking, I guess. Still kinda a cage.

[Because they've been kidnapped.]

[Yeah but Kon hasn't grown an inch and it's sad. Well, except that time he was an adult but that doesn't count. He stops and puts on hand on his hip and the other prods Bart.]

Duh! It doesn't use cartridges and you can play CDs on it.

[His arms go back to his sides and he smiles.]

I think people keep forgetting that fact. That we're here against our will and you know the kicker? We still haven't been told what we're actually here for.

[Bart swats at the prodding hand.]

The Playstation 3 is better, but it still doesn't have a neural feed.

[He folds his arms across his chest, and the corner of his mouth pulls back into a half-frown. Hrrrr.]

Kiiinda hard to forget that one. Everyone keeps distracting me from it, though. How long is still?

There's three of them now? This blows!

[His smile falls back and he sighs, throwing his arms up and behind his head.]

You'd think it was, right? But nope, loads of people just seem to forget and live life as much as possible like they were back home. Or that's how it comes across.

Ten months. That's how long I've been here and that's how long the stupid Emperor hasn't said anything.
