Irie West has posed:
Irie invited Bart to come with her to Big Belly Burger. After all, they both need to load up on calories to keep their accelerated metabolisms going. As they're waiting in line, Irie turns to him and says, "Thanks for coming with me, Bart. I hate eating alone."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods and offers her a smile, and says "Hey, you." He is wearing one of his video game shirts "I am always up for hanging out with family, how you been doing?" He asks her following with her.

Irie West has posed:
"Been doing good!" she says, as the line creeps ever onward. "My dad is going to take me shopping so we can help fill out my room a little bit. It's kind of bare at the moment. Maybe I can convince him to buy me some new clothes, too. I've got, maybe a week or so worth before I have to wash everything and I gotta have to get some variety instead of wearing the same thing over and over again. How 'bout you?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over and says "I am doing well, we ended up meeting another kid sorta like us, who is a bit out of time. Actually think he is closer from your time than most have met." He tells her softly "If you need anything I can help out too."

Irie West has posed:
"I know," Irie says. "It's just that Dad wanted to do something for me, and it gives me a chance to be with him a little bit more." They finally get to the front of the line, and Irie starts her sizable order. Then she gets an idea. Turning to Bart with a wicked gleam in her eye she challenges, "I bet I can eat more burgers than you can."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen 's brow raises a bit and says "you maybe your daddy's little girl Irie, but you have no chance on that one." He grins at her "If you want to do this we have to have a few ground rules though." He offers with a smile.

Irie West has posed:
"Oh yeah?" She says to Bart. "I can totally whup your butt." She looks thoughtful for a moment. "Okay. Rule #1: We can only take a sip of water between each hamburger. Gotta be water. If we use soda by the time we're done we'd vibrate the whole building to the ground from the caffeine."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen chuckles a bit and says "All in one place, or do we want to try to hit multiple places so they have a chance to keep up?

Irie West has posed:
Irie's eyes go wide at the suggestion. "Yes! Then we can rate each places burgers and find out which one is the best! Soooo..." She thinks for a bit. "Two burgers per place? Cheeseburgers? Or maybe three...."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and says "A burger, a cheese burger, and then if there is a place specialty we go with that one?" He offers, so they have a bit more variety. He hmms and says Fries, if there is no specialty burgers there."

Irie West has posed:
Nods in agreement. "That sounds fair." She looks thoughtful as she rubs her chin. "We should up the stakes. First person to tap out has to.... hm. Has toooooooo......"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will put in his food, and looks to her, and scratches his chin a bit and says "Was the other's socks for a month?"

Irie West has posed:
"By hand!" Irie adds. Now it's her turn to order. "One hamburger, one cheeseburger and one big belly burger, please!" Once they get their orders she goes and finds a place for them to sit. She doesn't waste ay time and she starts chowing down on the plain hamburger. "Where should we hit next. Five Guys?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and will walk over with his food and says "Do we want to do all the places in the area, or do like one big belly burger per city and do like 3 or 4 states worth of places?" He grins at her and as they eat he says "A way to help cover your eating if your trying to hide yourself is to order from a few places, and then swap the food you have out at super speed so normal folks don't notice your going with a few dozen burgers.

Irie West has posed:
"Hm," Irie says in between mouthfuls of burger. "I think it would get kinda boring if we stick to Big Belly. We could find, like, some of the mom and pop burger places all over the place and do those." She nods at Barts suggestion. "Yeah. Usually I just pile it high and watch people stare. It's funny to see them try to work out how a small girl can pack away so much."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods a bit and says "We can try some of the places, I like and maybe find a few I have not tried." He is eating a bit as they chat. "So, by any chance did you know Jon Kent back home?" He asks her as he works on his cheeseburger

Irie West has posed:
"Knew /of/ him," Irie says. "But I never met him." She's already done with the hamburger and she takes a swallow of water before moving on to the cheeseburger. "Why?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen continues to munch on his food, keeping up with her, and says "He just got into the time it seems. Titans ran into him the other night out while dealing with a ship ran by a doppelganger king pin the other night. First thought Conner had developed super breath, but when I got close to him, I saw who it was.

Irie West has posed:
Irie nods, the competitive streak in her causing her to speed up chowing down on the cheeseburger. Not to superspeed levels though. Normal teenaged girl levels. "Is he the other time displaced one you were talking about?

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this as he eats and says "It seems we are getting more and more, I mean just off the top of my head, we have you and me, Jon, and Hope, and thats just people I have talked to in the last few days." He hmms" He does blur out and comes back with his tablet, and lays it on the table "So we can plan out our route."

Irie West has posed:
Irie nods, finishing her cheeseburger and then moves over to sit on Bart's side of the table so she can see the tablet, too. "Maybe you're right about this era being, like, a temporal bus-stop. That's four time displaced people /that we know of/. The odds that there may be one or two more are pretty good, I'd think." She peers over at the tablet and asks, "Which city should we hit next?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head and says "And maybe even more." He hmms and says "Well, I know this place in Manchester where I went to middle school, aint been back down there in a while. We could try it. I figure we can finish at the Flash Museum's snack bar, and then maybe then go see Joan and Jay and see how they doing."

Irie West has posed:
"Only if you make it that far," Irie teases. "But yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I haven't seen them since before I came back in time. It'll be a surprise!" She thinks about it then scowls, "Well, maybe not a surprise considering how wonky time is with us." She finishes her Big Belly Burger and downs the rest of her water. "Done, slowpoke!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen chuckles a bit and finishes his and says "Oh yea of little faith, you must learnt o pace yourself grasshopper." He grins and says "Follow me." And he will lead her out and down to alabama

Irie West has posed:
"After you." Irie is gone like her titular title of Flash. This really isn't a speed race to get to Alabama so her pace is, while quick, controlled. She /really/ doesn't want to push herself to her top speed again in case it sends her /further/ back in time. When they get to Alabama she skids to a stop at the place Bart was talking about. "Ooh! Homey!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles and says "It is a neat place." H does show her around. Showing her the two houses he and Max lived in, before going to a small but popular local place. When he comes in, a dark haired young lady about his age sees him and comes over "BART!!" hugging him "Hey you." Bart smiles and hugs her back

Irie West has posed:
Irie oohs and aahs appropriately when shown Bart's old houses. When the get to the diner she grins. "Hey, who's this?" Irie asks, grinning at the hugging woman.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "Carol Bucklen, this is my cousin Irie, she just got into town recently." Carol offers a smile and will offer Irie a hug "Any relative of Bart's probably trouble but welcome around here." She offers with a smile."

Irie West has posed:
"That's me with a capital T!" Irie declares proudly. She rubs her hands together in anticipation as she asks, "So, what kind of burgers do you have?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles and starts to say something, but Carol asks "You eat like Bart? I can have two of the bart specials done in a few minutes, we might have to call in another truck of beef." She jokes a bit. Bart looks to Irie and says "Carol was my first friend here." And to Carol, hs says "No we are trying a few places, so a normal burger, cheese burger, and a bbq cheeseburger with bacon." He tells her

Irie West has posed:
"Bart Specials?" Irie asks with great interest. "I /have/ to know what goes into that. Maybe get it later down the road when I get peckish." She nods in agreement with Bart as he makes his order and finds a seat for them.

Bart Allen has posed:
Carol says "Pretty much everythign in the kitchen, and half the grocery store." She teases a bit but says "Grab a seat, I will put in in your order."

Irie West has posed:
"Yeah, that sounds about right," Irie says, giving Bart a little nudge. She finds a table for both of them, and settles down into one of the chairs. "So where are you going to school, now?" she asks, trying to be chatty.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "I am taking classes at Empire state, Conner takes classes there so I figured I would check it out, and Joan and Jay suggested, I do a bit of normal life. I am considering getting a place of my own outside of the hq."

Irie West has posed:
Irie nods, having been doing much the same thing with Happy Harbor. "What'cha gonna major in?" Their wait isn't very long before Carol brings out their meal. Immediately Irie starts tucking into it. "Mm. These burgers are good!"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "We ate here a lot as kids, I have been working on veterinary medicine. I have been enjoying working at t he zoo alot. I have thought about a few other zoos, but not sure which one I should work at if I move from Gotham.

Irie West has posed:
"Oh! I didn't know you liked animals," Irie exclaims. "I have no idea what I'm going to do when I finally get to college. Probably some kind of science. I really got into it when I was reading up on relativity when I was doing some research about what happened to me."
