[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.

	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)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-07-09 04:45 am UTC (link)
	It's 2010. [Not exactly the jump you're looking for and definitely in the wrong direction.] You know Conner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-07-10 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [There goes his theory. It must be some kind of weird parallel universe.] Yeah, 'course I know Conner. We're not like, super close or anything, but his dad's my best friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-07-13 05:28 am UTC (link)
	His...Dad? Superman? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-07-13 06:59 am UTC (link)
	The one and only! Man, I still can't believe he chose that as his codename... [It's clearly taking all of Bart's strength to not burst into laughter then and there.] I know his other dad too, but I'd rather die before running into him again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-07-21 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	His...what? [That's just a liiiiiiiittle bit after her time and no one has filled her in yet.] Who is his other dad? [And again, what?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-08-01 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	Uh. If you don't know, then I don't think I can tell you. [Mostly because he REALLY doesn't think he should be the one to break the news! Where is a Super when you need one?] Mrs. K said that she'd rather think of Conner as her kid than her grankid anyways. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-08-09 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	... [She should really ask her teammates about this. Why is she so far out of the loop?] It probably isn't even the same where I'm from. [Or it is and she is just out of the loop like she's thinking.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-08-10 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	[Good idea. They'd be able to handle it with slightly more tact!] Probably. I don't know Roy, so... it sounds like some stuff's really different between our worlds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-08-10 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like your world has a lot less archers. Sad for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-08-11 01:33 am UTC (link)
	I know, right? If I'd known they were all this friendly, I would've convinced Ollie to take on extra apprentices. Though I can't blame him, either - he did just get married. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-08-17 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Friendly? [She doesn't hear that much. Not that she minds hearing it.] Wait, married? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-08-19 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	Tied the knot and everything. If he's single back in your world, I guess that makes your Ollie slightly smarter than mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-08-26 12:38 am UTC (link)
	Why? Who'd he marry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-09-05 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Chloe Sullivan. You might know her better as Watchtower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-09-07 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	I...know of a watchtower, but it isn't a person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-09-15 02:36 am UTC (link)
	It's not? ...Is it her clock tower? Cause we call it Watchtower too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
