[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.

[Wally raises a hand to his mouth in an attempt to stop any laughter that wants to escape at Bart's reaction to the idea of being married - he imagines it's the same look that every guy who woke up in a crummy hotel room in Vegas and found out they were hitched would have - but any chance he had of not laughing ends the moment he hears Bart swear.]

As serious as a heart attack. [Man, he almost wants to make up a story about Barry having kids just to see how Bart would handle that, but he'll take pity on the guy for now.

After all, Bart did say he'd pay for their food if that was a thing here.] You're just saying that because it is free. [He's teasing, of course.]

So have you figured out where you're going to stay yet?

Jesus Christ, kid.... [Don't you dare, Wally! He's having trouble breathing just from the knowledge that somewhere out there, in the big wide multiverse, some girl's crazy enough to marry him. How the heck did he pull that off? He buries his face in his hands, before nervously admitting:] I don't even have a girlfriend.

[He shakes his head at the mention of a place to stay. God, he's so going to need a drink after this.] Not yet. I'll figure a place out later. I just... I'm married? It's been five years? Really?

[The number you have dialed is no longer in service. Please hang up and try again much, much later.]
