[Bart didn't know which was worse: waking up in prison, losing his superpowers, or receiving the ugliest jumpsuit known to mankind. He wasn't a stranger to law enforcement, having been on both sides of the equation, but Marina's new territory. It's like the sick, twisted love child of Atlantis and Belle Reve (complete with free ankle monitor! all yours for the grand price of your freedom!)

Unable to take off the monitor, Bart had settled for turning off his comm device and heading to the nearest clothing store. Thank god he'd woken up in Sector 4 - running would've been a pain in the neck. Unfortunately, he also doesn't have cash.

He wouldn't steal under any other circumstance, but people usually expect cash. That's just how capitalism works! If anyone asks, they never saw him. Of course not, because the kid who entered in a jumpsuit and the kid who left in a red t-shirt and white jeans aren't the same person. Absolutely not. Especially since that second kid had already dumped his prison jumpsuit into one of the inventory bins.

It would've been the perfect crime ~~not that he knows everything's free~~, but his conscience is making his heart race again... and of course, the second he tries to leave, he hits the door face-first and falls hard onto the floor (activating his voice feed in the process). Goddammit.]

OW.

Oh hey, this thing's on... [Bart fiddles with the feed some more, before hastily adding:] Ignore the man behind the emerald curtain, y'all. No - seriously, I'm not the tech guy, that's kind of Chloe's thing. I barely understood Twitter, I don't particularly get Facebook, and these wardens expect me to use this thing without breaking it? Or well, it seems simple enough, it's just... you know, prison tech. The last prison didn't have tech nearly this sophisticated.

[He's speaking rapidly about how much tech isn't his thing, even without his super-speed, until he remembers where he is. Bart coughs.] Right, sorry, fair people of Marina Novella. Nova? Marina Telenovela? Whatever we're called, I'll catch you on the flipside. Assuming that, you know, I don't get out of here on parole first.

	Uh... protesting against the US government? The whole thing was kind of stupid. [Also technically the truth, just not the entire reason he was imprisoned by the US Department of Domestic Security. ~~That would be for his vigilantism.~~] My friend bailed me out before it got rough, but seriously, I don't think I'll ever go into politics again.

	What were you protesting? [You didn't think you'd get out of follow-up questions, right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-04-30 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughs nervously. Of course there'd be follow-up questions...] Superheroes. You know, "those caped freaks" that've been showing up lately? They're sorta-kinda against the law right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] greenerarrow 2013-05-01 04:15 am UTC (link)
	[Frowning, not that he can see it.] Wait, you were protesting against superheroes, or for them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-05-01 04:39 am UTC (link)
	[Uh-oh. He can't see her frown, but that doesn't mean he can't hear that tone.] For them! [He laughs nervously.] The Feds may not like Superman, but I think he's worth having around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] greenerarrow 2013-05-02 04:32 am UTC (link)
	[Did he say...?] Wait, you know Superman? [That sort of thing has been strangely uncommon here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] killerspeed 2013-05-02 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I know him. [He laughs.] We kind of go way back. Do you want his autograph? 'Cause I can get you a two-for-one discount and snag Impulse's while I'm at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] greenerarrow 2013-05-02 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	[Impulse?] Yeah, I know him too. [Okay, it's not like they hang, but she knows Conner, and it's not like he hasn't been around so there's that.] Who are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] killerspeed 2013-05-02 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	You do? [He's racking his brain, trying to think if he's heard her voice so far. Ultimately, he gives up trying - it doesn't sound like Stargirl, and she's the only teenager involved in the League.] Like you know him, or he saved you once kind of know? I'm Bart Allen. What's yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] greenerarrow 2013-05-03 01:04 pm UTC (link)
	Like I know all of the Justice League. I'm Green Arrow's [okay, so she's pretty much admitted this to all her teammates already, so she doesn't need to say niece.] apprentice. Bart Allen? [Things clicking in and out of place here.] I'm Artemis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] killerspeed 2013-05-03 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	You are? [Now he's confused. She doesn't sound like Mia... The second he gets her name, though, it starts to click for him. Bart's gonna give up on pretending like he doesn't know anything.] It's good to meet you, but I don't remember Ollie having an apprentice. I should know - I'm involved in League activity. [And now Artemis knows why he was in prison.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] greenerarrow 2013-05-04 05:38 am UTC (link)
	You don't even remember Roy? [He's already on apprentice two, okay, technically three here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] killerspeed 2013-05-04 06:25 am UTC (link)
	Can't remember someone I've never met. Ol--Green Arrow has a daughter, but her name's Mia Dearden. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] greenerarrow 2013-05-04 06:30 am UTC (link)
	Daughter? This stuff is just getting more and more confusing every time someone shows up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] killerspeed 2013-05-04 06:40 am UTC (link)
	Daughter, ward... it's the same thing, I think. You've never met her, have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice ] greenerarrow 2013-05-06 04:04 am UTC (link)
	I really haven't. Have you heard of me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-05-09 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Nope, sorry. [He genuinely means it too.] You said you're his apprentice, right? Oliver's talked about it, but Batman's the only guy that's ever had one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] greenerarrow 2013-05-12 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, it's kind of new, but Batman is definitely not the only one with an apprentice. It's kind of thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-05-16 04:52 am UTC (link)
	[Reluctantly:] A popular kind of thing? I... well, as long as you're careful. [Biggest hypocrite or biggest hypocrite? This genius was fencing Rolexes at her age.] So you said you're his apprentice. Are you also on the League? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] greenerarrow 2013-05-25 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	No... [And she was just about to explain when she stops herself.] And why should I be telling you any of this? [She's pretty sure she should be suspicious, okay?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice \| private] killerspeed 2013-06-19 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	Because I helped found the League. ... In my world, anyways. So I kind of like to know if the guys added any members to the roster without telling me. [The private filter is the lowest setting since Bart's terrible with tech - and frankly, he's terrible at maintaining secret ID's - but it's still better than putting that out in the open.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice \| private] greenerarrow 2013-06-29 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	That could be true. Or it could be your way of trying to get more information out of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-06-30 02:05 am UTC (link)
	[wow, that's some level of paranoia if he'd heard it. Bart goes ahead and switches to video, though he looks a little unamused.] We're in jail. Even if I got some super secret intel my best friends forgot to tell me about, it's not like I could use any of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-07-06 03:58 am UTC (link)
	[Being in prison and some of the things she's found out about since arriving have definitely made her a little cagier.] Fine. We work with the League but we're not on the League. Kind of a...junior team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-07-08 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Junior League? [That's kind of cute! Bart's smart enough to not say so out loud.] I guess it was only a matter of time, since Ollie and Cl--Superman have Mia and Conner. What year is it for you? [Maybe she's from the future?] It's 2012 where I'm from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
