[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.]

[voice]
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.

	Good to know. Have you found a place to stay yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ video \| private] killerspeed 2013-04-29 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	... I'm supposed to do that? [Nope. The thought didn't even occur to him until now.] I thought they just assigned us a random cell? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-04-29 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, no, I was just kidding about the cells. We get nice, comfortable apartments and everything. In the last dome, Robin and I had to share a room, but here, everybody gets their own. We even did a little remodeling to accommodate everyone from our world. Because, apparently, Prison seems to like us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If this is a prison, I'd like to see what actual housing's like for... wherever this is. [He shakes his head.] Seriously, prison's not anywhere this nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-04-30 12:59 am UTC (link)
	You sound like you're speaking from experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-04-30 01:19 am UTC (link)
	Unfortunately. Remember when I said that I met another you at Hawkman's funeral? The US government put us in prison right after that. Apparently vigilantism's against the law. Who knew? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-04-30 01:33 am UTC (link)
	[Everyone, actually. Only in her world, the government sort of...looked the other way once the vigilantes started working in conjunction with them.] So, what, it was an ambush? That's low. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-04-30 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Had to be. We were all there - me, you, Superman, Green Arrow, Stargirl, Aquaman, Black Canary... and then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in prison. [Again. As a kid, he'd had some run-ins with the law, but he'd always been able to bluff his way out since they couldn't pin any evidence on him.] We got bailed out before it was too late, but it was rough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-04-30 02:00 am UTC (link)
	I have a record in your world. Good to know. [She doesn't seem too put out by the idea. Alternate Universe meant an alternate her, right? So it wasn't like it was her-her getting arrested.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-04-30 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Nope. Watchtower erased our records when she bailed us, so the feds still have no clue we were even there. [If Zee actually HAD a record, he wouldn't be telling her this.] And when the Vigilante Registration Act got repealed, I don't think anyone cared enough to check. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-04-30 03:18 am UTC (link)
	That's convenient. No wonder they've never let Robin up there. [If their systems could get into criminal records, just imagine the havoc a teen hacker could wreak.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-04-30 05:47 am UTC (link)
	If he's any good at hacking, yeah, I'm not surprised. That kind of power's dangerous in the wrong hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-04-30 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, he's good. Very good. ...unfortunately, not even hacking seems to get us anywhere with a couple of robot overlords. You'd think we'd've been out of here in ten minutes, but nope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-05-01 04:34 am UTC (link)
	Their systems could just be more advanced than what he's used to. [He shrugs.] Watchtower could've worked some magic if she were here... but until then, I guess I'll have to sit tight and figure something else out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-05-02 01:15 am UTC (link)
	[Yeah, don't tell him that] Why are you talking about the Watchtower as if it were alive? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-05-02 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Um, because she is? [Rude, baby Zee.] What, did you think our tech person was some kind of robot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-05-03 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	[But, wait...wasn't the Watchtower a building? Now it was a person? Confused Magician is confused.] Is this one of those things where guys get really attached to the machines around them? Like with cars and boats and stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-05-03 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh wow. If Chloe were only here to hear this now... Bart bursts into laughter, holding his stomach in so that he doesn't fall over.] I'd hope not, Zee. Otherwise Ollie'd have a lot of explaining to do, considering he married her... Does the name Chloe Sullivan ring any bells? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-05-04 02:26 am UTC (link)
	[Who?] Nope. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-05-04 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Huh. That's... really weird. She's the tech guru of the League, and half the reason I don't suck at using link comms. [Maybe Chloe retired from League business in their world. Or something.] If you don't know her, do you know Oliver Queen? Or Clark Kent? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-05-04 02:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, them, I know. She could be up there. I've never actually been to the Watchtower, you know. The only reason I even know about it is because Kid Mouth spilled the beans. My dad never really talked much about his job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-05-05 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [So Mr. Zatara was on the League. Weird.] I mean, Watchtower's not that much of a secret. If you're ever in Metropolis again, I could show you around the place. Considering other-you's a member, I don't think Chloe'll care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-05-05 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like fun. I won't need an ID card or anything, will I? Because that could get a little complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] killerspeed 2013-05-09 04:42 am UTC (link)
	Nah. I know Chloe's beefed up the security a lot, but we could figure something out. It'd be easier than say, figuring out how we got stuck in bizarro Sea World. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Video : Private ] notbabymagic 2013-05-10 01:12 am UTC (link)
	...bizarro...Sea World...? [Not sure if want to even ask.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
