[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.

	They say it's for life. The story is people get lost in the dimensional stabilizer. Strangely enough, they don't give us a lot of specs on what that is and how it works.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That doesn't sound good.] Sounds like this place's got its fair share of secrets too. I've heard of a lot of weird bull, but... not a dimensional stabilizer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-04-28 12:51 am UTC (link)
	I think it was new for a lot of us. Who knew dimensions were so unstable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-04-28 01:47 am UTC (link)
	They can be, if someone's been messing with them long enough. [That would be the voice of experience talking.] I think the bigger question is, why the crap does this place need one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-04-30 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	[This voice of experience intrigues her.] Because we're all from different ones. So, messing with dimensions. Is that something you've done? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-04-30 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Not personally, but I've seen what happens when people do. [His voice sounds a little heavier, as if he doesn't like what happens.] The end result isn't pretty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-05-01 03:25 am UTC (link)
	Something you fought against? [Probing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-05-01 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Someone my best friend fought against. I was, uh, a little preoccupied elsewhere at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Powers are a thing where you're from? Or was this more a technology thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-05-02 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Bit of both. Powers are a thing, but they needed tech to cross over into our universe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are there mutants on your Earth? If you're from Earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-05-03 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	[he laughs] Yeah, I'm from Earth - I guess we can't assume that here? - but we don't have mutants. I think the news calls us "metahumans." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-05-12 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Metahumans. I've heard the term. [She's trying to remember from whom. Richie? Ollie maybe?] You're one of them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Supposedly. [He only says "supposedly" because he STILL doesn't entirely understand the science behind it.] Metahumans are like regular humans, except when stressed or under lifethreatening situations, their gene expression's altered and their powers show up as a result.

Doc was still working on the details, but in my case, I'm pretty fast. Think "Fastest Man Alive" kind of fast.

	I think there was already a kid here claiming that. Tommy. And then we've got one now too. [She knows everyone on the force, Wally included.] And then back home I knew a few, so fastest man alive...hmm...I'd have to see it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-06-19 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Tommy? The Force didn't tell me about him... [He'll just mull over that for a bit.] Unless he's not from my world. I know most of the kids that run like me. Though personally, I probably have them beat. When my powers're up and running, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-06-19 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	Mmhmm. [No shortage of confidence in this one.] The force? Do you mean the Defense Force? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-06-21 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Nnnno? [No shortage of confusion either.] The Speed Force. The thing that gives me my powers. It tells me about other people like me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-06-21 05:01 am UTC (link)
	Soooo, you have a talking speed force that gives you powers? [Eyebrow raise.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-06-21 05:08 am UTC (link)
	.... When you put it that way, it sounds really weird. I don't think it talks so much as imprints information in my brain, but yeah. That's the Speed Force. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-06-21 05:20 am UTC (link)
	That's why I put it that way. [Smiling, not that he can see it.] Is that how anyone from your world gets powers? Speed force? Telepathy force? Force force? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-06-21 05:51 am UTC (link)
	Nah, just us speedy people. We've got aliens, telepaths, magicians, people just born with superpowers... you name it, there's probably someone with that kind of power and power source. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-06-29 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	Why are they born with superpowers where you're from? Genetics? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] killerspeed 2013-06-29 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	I think so? Doc was explaining it, but I kind of zoned out after a while. [He sounds apologetic, at least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[voice] kitty_has_claws 2013-06-30 12:05 am UTC (link)
	[Such a great story.] Doc? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
