[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.

	Why? Who'd he marry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	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)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-09-18 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	There's probably a clock there, but it's not a clock tower. [This feels like the beginning of a riddle.] Our worlds don't exactly line up, do they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-09-19 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	Don't think so. There's a lot of the same people, but a lot of differences too. [It's making his head hurt.] Might just be how the time stream rolls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-09-22 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Shouldn't a time stream flow instead of roll? [Yes, this is helpful to debate.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-09-26 12:47 am UTC (link)
	Maybe it just defies all kinds of special logic. [The worst part is, he's seriously willing to debate this with her.] It can ebb, flow, and roll to its own rhythm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-09-29 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	And how do you know so much about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-09-30 12:51 am UTC (link)
	I don't. [Eyebrow raise.] I wish I knew more, since my powers're connected to the time stream, but I never got the full 411. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-09-30 12:59 am UTC (link)
	Shouldn't you have mentor for that kind of thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-09-30 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	Who'd mentor me? Until I'd met Mr. Garrick, I thought I was the only one able to run this fast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-09-30 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, so why not him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-10-01 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	He doesn't run anymore. [Bart's starting to feel a little cage-y himself.] Plus, like I said, he's not willing to take on apprentices. [Jay and Bart don't really like each other enough to have that mentor-apprentice relationship, let alone stand in the same room together.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-10-19 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	He doesn't have to run to tell you how things work. [Pushing when she probably shouldn't be.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-10-20 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh she's definitely pushing it too much. Bart's glaring, and or the first time since their conversation started, he's fidgety too.] Like it matters. I've been doing just fine by myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-10-24 01:01 am UTC (link)
	[Instead of glaring back, she looks more...curious and possibly even a little regretful of the pushing. Just a little.] Hey, okay, fine. You're doing great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] killerspeed 2013-11-02 03:18 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. [He's a bit grateful, though he's still fidgeting. Mr. Garrick's a pretty touchy subject for this kid.] Or I was doing great, no thanks to MarinaNovella's fantastic Wardens. [Seriously, a prison that houses KIDS isn't a place he finds ideal. Don't they have families to get back to?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[video \| private] greenerarrow 2013-11-07 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, well, we're all in that boat. [Which is something, right? Togetherness in prison?] (Reply to this) (Parent)
