[There's a teenage boy glaring at a piece of paper in his hand, yelling indignantly at it.]

Time travel again?! Geez, at this rate, it's almost every other month! This is really getting on my nerves.

[At some point during his rant, he starts darting about the area, trying to familiarize himself with the place. Except he decides to ignore the warning about special powers in the welcome letter and is now moving so fast he appears to be in twelve places almost simultaneously. Oh, and he still hasn't bothered to change out of the blinding red and white spandex body suit he's in. He doesn't plan on staying long, so what are a few odd looks?]

[Finally, he settles in front of the map, memorizing it. Scowling, he grumbles to himself.]

Where's that treadmill when you need it?

[Mikuru's interest is piqued mid-rant, though she can't catch up with his speeding and gives up in front of the map.]

Excuse me, did you say time travel?

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

[Oh, someone he can ask for help! His bad mood vanishes.] Yeah, what about it?

[bunnypassingby]

Do you time travel at home, too? [Alas, Mikuru will probably not be much help; she just likes meeting another time traveler.]

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

You bet! I've lost count of how many times I've been thrown into some other time.

So...where am I this time?

[Needless to say, when the "warping" kid blasts past her, Maria is interested. She's used to keeping tabs on Shadow, so she eventually does manage to find him when he stops.]

Treadmill?

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

The Flash has this treadmill you can use for time travel. But I think it's broken. [Impulse has no problem telling this stranger about his world. It's not like it's a secret.]

[dreamsofworlds.livejournal.com]

Time travel? Really?

[Well, she was here thanks to that, so it shouldn't have been such a surprise...]

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

Yep. Is that weird? [He had assumed that a lot of people time traveled here, thanks to the letter.]

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

Well, there's someone who looks straight out of the Special Zone...

[]

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

[The next instant, Impulse appears behind Espio.] What's that supposed to mean?

[turnip-rage.livejournal.com]

It means exactly what I said - you look straight out of the Special Zone.

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

What's the Special Zone?

[gyrocopter.livejournal.com]

HOLY shit.

[Goose yells that quite loudly as Bart whirrs past. This guy was faaaaaast.

He attempts to catch up with him and manages to sight him around the map.]

How did you do that?

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

How did I do what?

[gyrocopter.livejournal.com]

It ain't obvious? You're FAST.

[He feels that's all that needs to be said.]

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. That. [He hadn't even noticed he'd been speeding.]

I'm kind of a superhero. Well, not kind of--you know what I mean.

[Bulla is used to seeing garish clothing - she's seen saiyan armour and Goku's martial arts uniform. With how fast the boy is running, it's difficult to follow his movements. She can move at superhuman speeds, but not that fast. She approaches when he's at the map.]

Time Compression, actually. I think there's a treadmill near the weights room.

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

What's the difference?

Those? I checked them out a second ago. Definitely can't time travel with 'em. [He'd located the weights room on the map and sped over to examine the treadmills before coming back, all so fast that it looked like he never left.]

Argh, stupid LJ notifs

[shops-a-lot.livejournal.com]

[Bulla blinks, surprise evident on her face.]

...instant transmission? You were here a second ago.

[That's the only ability she knows of that would allow a person to move that quickly.]

Time Compression has weird side effects, and it can bring people from different worlds.

[A speedster in Garden? Damian watches Bart for a moment before purposefully walking to the map and folding his arms. He doesn't recognize the suit, but a hero's a hero... even if this one kind of reminds him of the Flash.] Check the gym... and try not to knock over people on your way out.

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

[Impulse is surprised that he has to look down to see who's talking to him. That's new.] Already checked it. None of those are the one I need. And I don't knock people over! Usually.

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

What's so special about your treadmill? [He's had worse conversations before; this one's just weird.]

[werepanther]

[Tom raises an eyebrow before casually tossing his cigarette in the trash. Guess this world's being nicer to him than he thought if they're bringing in more heroes.] Now that's something you don't see every day.

[teenspeed.livejournal.com]

[Impulse turns around to see who's speaking.] What, never seen a superhero before?

[werepanther]

Just not in a while. [he can't help grinning as he wanders over] Time Compression doesn't seem to like 'em much.
