---

Wally West has posed:
Wally and Bart had finally set up a time to meet up so that Wally could share some new skills he had acquired in his last excursion to the speedforce.

Wally heads up to the roof of the titan tower to wait for Bart. It's a calm warm night not much going on and a gentle breeze that was rather pleasant.

Wally was trying to refine how he was going to teach this ability. Sharing and Sapping speed. It was a big leap in how They understand the speedforce. This idea that everything can be effected by the speedforce.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen comes up to the roof, he luckily has the night off. He normally works nights, but then of course he can get his job done in minutes and come back later and none would know. He does stop along the way and shows up with two milkshakes offering Wally one.

Wally West has posed:
Wally happily accepts the milkshake, "Thanks Bartles" Wally says as he happily takes a big sip of it.

"So I learned something in the speedforce last time i was there. And I want to pass it on. but first i want to demonstrate it for you. so Lets finish these shakes and I'll race you from one of the T to the other." Wally says slurping more milkshake. mmmm.

Wally would get in position to race with Bart. but as soon as they start to run. Bart would notice that instead of speeding up he's slowing down like running in quicksand but eventually hes very legs and all movement seem to be moving slower than he wants. Wally is sapping away his speed and blows past him.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen finishes his shake and nods, and once the race starts he blinks, and will try moving his arms "What.. the.... It... is like..... Molasses : He look sover to Wally and after what seems to Bart forever he stops standing there "Ok... what.. happened?"

Wally West has posed:
"I and soon we can sap and share speed with people, and things. I've used this to stop bullets like the matrix before." Wally says with a smirk and a bit of a blush in his cheeks feeling cheeky about tricking Bart like that.

"Its almost like everything that moves has a bit of the speedforce and we as like conduits, wielders of the speedforce can manipulate that bit of the speedforce. we can take it away and stop things we can share it speed something up. But its like you have to be in tune with it. you have to feel it and feel it moving through things. then you its a push pull sort of thing like waves ebbing and flowing. It's hard to explain but once you feel it. You understand. Thats why i did that to you just now. so you can feel what its like for the force to move like that."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and nods his head a bit thinking of this and says "Have you tried sapping Irie's see if that helps her aging issue? I tried the running through to realign like you did with me but no help." He hmms a bit and says "So feeling the speedforce sorta like the whole zen of the force, we have to feel the force be the force?"

Wally West has posed:
"I havent gotten the chance to catch Irie and approach her with that idea but it's worth a shot" Wally says.

To Bart's second point "Yeah, It' like that eventually you can feel the flows of the force like feeling the current in a stream. and you can use it. and you can share it but letting it flow out of you and into something or someone. just like you felt it leave you when i stole it if you can recreate that feeling but on purpose and directed at something or someone. then you can share your speed. like a daisy chain, youre plugged inot the speedforce and something is plugged into you. Let me tell you, It's so nice to be able to show loved ones how it feels to be us. How the world looks and feels to us. "

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and nods a bit "Emiko would find it amazing to see what super speed is really like." He admits, and then thinks for a moment "Have you seen if the more you share the slower you are?"

Wally West has posed:
Wally nods and ponders. "In theory that should be how it works. since we are connected to the source the speedforce itself its not that noticable. its a lot like how if there is a gathering of speedsters we all get slower as we all are connected to the speedforce and sort of overload the connection. but if you absolutley need every bit of your speed to do something I would advise you don't also share your speed at that moment. It's like a powergrid you in theory have unlimited energy but it can be overtaxed. But then again if you arent connected to the speedforce you're spending your own energy so yeah you will get slower. it's like charging your phone with your laptop and its not plugged in." He says ins a sped up ramble working through it with a stream of consciousness.

Some birds fly convieniently close to them as they are on the roof. Wally reaches his hand out towards on of the flying pidgeons and arcs of speedforce lightning travel from his body to the bird and the bird suddenly flys away at impossible speeds. "Like that. Bart you have to let it flow out of you and into something."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over and says "That bird is going to have some heck of a story I would love to see it pass a helicopter." He jokes a bit and nods a bit to this "I can sorta understand it a bit, Max had me meditating on slower things trying to get me to act more normal around normal folks. I even have a terrarium of snails back at the outsides base. My home pets are not quite as slow but do have two turtles amongst the others.

Wally West has posed:
"I kinda want to get a hedgehog. make it a nice like elaborate habit trail let it speed around in there." Wally says with a smile implying share speed with pets.

"but this is really the next level of control. We know how to control our bodies even down to the atoms so we can vibrate through things. this is the next level control of the engery with in us. The sppedforces coursing through us. You have to control that too. Damn not that I think of it this might be exactly what Iris needs!!! She's out of control she's unable to contain or control the speedforce so it effects her in all those whacky ways. Thanks Bart" Wally said as he again works through his thoughts as he says them.

"Back to the lesson sharing speed with your pets is a great way to hone that skill imagine taking dog for a run and really running. but before all that give it a shot. Feel the energy moving in you and redirect it. try to speed up a bird."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, a bit and says "Hunn and Munn at superspeed now that might be a scary thought." He says of his and Emiko's cats. "It is good to have more than one point of view to point things out." He offers, He closes his eyes and concentrates and when his eyes are opened he waits for a close bird, and tries, getting it to do a humming bird impression for maybe a pico second.

Wally West has posed:
Wally smiles and shouts "YEAH just like that you almost had it!" with some glee and pride in his voice. "That was cool for a first try. but You're You so no surprise there. you just got to focus. Bart you're overflowing with the speedforce you're going to surpass Me and Barry with time. Maybe its just so much that its become white noise that you tune out. but you need to dial it back in so you can harness it completely?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and nods his head a bit and says "You said it can be done to items." He hmms and sets down on the floor cross legged, and rolls his empty cup between his hands concentrating on it, trying to slow it down in it's rolling

Wally West has posed:
Wally watches on eagerly as the cup rolls and starts to wobble as if its being jerked by some invisible force. Growing more excited as the cups momentum seems wax and wane as its rolled between Barts hand and the prodigy seems to get a better grip on the concept. "I believe in you completely Bart. you got this."

Wally suddenly gets an idea and disappears for a second before reappearing. Maybe Bart's instincts will guide him better. Wally winds up and throws a pebble at bart at frightening speed. "Bart Look out!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's instincts are not to slow the item, but he has been trained to fight and such, so his reaction is to move to the side and tries to swat the pebble away, maybe it slow a bit or maybe it was a trick of the imagination

Wally West has posed:
"dang. I thought that would work. if I got you while you were in the zone that maybe it would just reflexively come out of you." Wally says, "Sorry for throwing something at you with no warning."

Wally ponders a moment. "AH I get it now. a cup, a pebble, thats all really small stuff hardly any speedforce in it. of course its gonna be hard to focus on it. 'Hello wally' Let's give you the biggest target available. ME! I'll run laps around the roof and you try to stop me. Focus on the speedforce coming from me passing through me. you wont be able to help but feel that much Speedforce!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit but hmms and nods. He will stand moving to the middle of the roof so the other man has the most room to run.

Wally West has posed:
Wally gets in a runner's starting position. "Ready, set, go!" Wally starts doing laps around the roof at blistering hypersonice speeds. Waiting to feel the tug of bart syphoning away his speed.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will hold his hands out towards the side, he could keep them pointed at Wally, but he is wanting to try to find Wally's speed force more than his own, he concentrates and thinks about the speedforce, and takes a moment, but then he thinks about when Wally realigned his own speedforce looking for that familiar frequency and trying to pull it to him

Wally West has posed:
Wally continues running in a oval around the roof faster and faster till he find the speed he feels most comforable running at. He starts to feel Bart tugging at him and for a moment Bart has it and stops Wally but only for a fraction of a second and its like he lets go and the result is less Wally being slowed and more like the sudden stop and go makes him trip over his own legs sending him bounding and tumbling off the roof.

In the same moment the sound of Wally smacking the ground reaches Bart's ears Wally is back on the roof holding his neck and back in pain. "OK you did good." Wally relentlessly optimistic and praising of his little Cousn. "but can use a little more work to make sure you have a good grasp of it. but Like give me a minute I'm hurting."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen winces and was moving to go get Wally once he sees him go over the edge, but as seeing him coming back up, his first question is "Are you ok, I think you might need a break yea, want me to go grab you anything?" And he is off and back with multiple ice packs and ace bandages.

Wally West has posed:
Wally sits down for a bit putting ice packs on the sore areas. "Yeah lets take a break maybe the roof wasn't the best idea. But you're getting it. I think, you are at least. It's hard because no one taught me it i just sort of absorbed it from the speedforce. It was like I was granted a new skill or understanding. So I'm trying to explain something that wasnt explained to me it was like granted to me. But you're getting it you did the bird, you slowed the cup and even the pebble you stopped me. you're getting it."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smirks a bit and says "You leveled up, and now your trying to help me level up, but while we are both the same base class, there is some difference like your a paladin, and I am a cavalier or something."

Wally West has posed:
"Thats a good way to put it. I guess but you are getting it. and when you do finaly get it maybe we can both use it on Irie to see if that works." wally says offering his hand to bart for a handshake. "maybe we revisit this some other day?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "I will work on it, and will try with small things I don't want to hurt anyone while we are working on it.
