Bart Allen	Bart Allen had came home from where he had to work, He made a couple of calls on the way to invite Irie over, and to get a few dozen pizzas ordered. Ah he gets into to the apartment he calls out "I'm home Jenni, let me get a shower and change right quick, we should have some company soon." He heads tot he bathroom. Normally other folks see him in and out in seconds, but with another speedster about it does seem to take him a while at least to her, maybe not to the cats.
Jenni Ognats	(some hours before) "Oh my GOD! The twenty-first century is so kriffing ANALOG!" Those are the first words out of Jenni Ognats' mouth after stepping into her cousin Bart's apartment...after having to turn a PHYSICAL key in a PHYSICAL lock. Looking around at the small studio apartment, everything is so...strange. There's no tri-d, there's some kind of flat viewscreen instead. There's an area off to one side with some large, strange machines of some sort. This is so wierd. Still, that's not the first priority. First priority is finding a fresher of some kind. Bart says he had one around her somewhere... Nope. That's the bedroom. Geez, Bart...learn to make a bed. Maybe this next room? AH! This is promising. Okay, yeah, that's a sink...humanoid-pattern toilet's fairly easy enough to recognize even if the ergonomics are a bit strange (The seat doesn't reshape itself to accomodate the person sitting on it? BARBARIANS!) Then that means this...AH! A shower! Directional nozzle looks a bit wierd, though...actual holes? Not a SONIC shower, then...OH! That's right! Back in this century, they still washed themselves with water! Logical enough since it covers so much of the planet. Amenities located, Jenni strips out of her costume (NO PEEKING! Jenni's under the CCA stamp, still!), does her business, then climbs into the shower to figure out how it works. Sniff the bottles...ah, detergents for hair and body. Okay, now what about the water dispenser? Two knobs? They're labled H and C? No idea what those mean. (She speaks Interlac, not English) Try turning the H knob? Ah! Warm water. Not as hot as she'd like, but right now she just wants to get clean. A quick duck under the water to get her hair wet and steps out of the stream to use some of these. The bar thing is scented...probably some kind of soap, but that'd be impractical for hair. Maybe this liquid stuff? Nope, feels kinda oily. Ah, this one labeled 'Shampoo' seems to be the stuff. A good lathering should do the trick! Unfortunately for our poor heroine, while she was out of the water stream, the lukewarm water worked it's way out of the pipes and the shower is now shooting at near-scalding levels. Thus a few moments later, Jenni steps back into the stream and lets out a shriek! Eyes now full of soap, she blindly tries turning the other knob...AH!! Too cold! A few minutes of fighting with the water and rinsing later, a partially scalded speedster turns off the water and, one quick shaking to fling water off in the shower later, she walks into Bart's room, rummages through his closet for a t-shirt, snags a pair of gym shorts out of what she's reasonably certain is a bunch of clean laundry (at least it SMELLS clean), and she walks back into the apartment, <...the 21st century sucks.> (fast forward to now) The door to the apartment will open to, what at first will look a bit like an empty room. A second glance will reveal it's not so much. A large salad bowl seems to have been appropriated and has some dark liquid filling it. And a glance over at the couch will reveal a passed out Jenni with two cats using her as a convenient source of body heat.
Irie West	And just like that, Irie is there, knocking on the door. It's the speedster way. She had taken some time working out what to wear, but in the end she falls back to her good ole' jeans and flash logo white t-shirt. You know, the casual costume.     When Bart opens the door, Irie gives him a brilliant grin. "Hi Bart! Did I tell you? Phoebe is taking me to see Archaeon from time to time? He's cool! He likes it when we read to him, and I started introducing him to //memes//. He even let me pet him! Kinda. More like a friendly pat. Phoebe insists that you don't pet unicorns but I remain doubtful. Next time we go out there I'm gonna see if I can't br- *GASP*"     Her hands go to her cheeks as her mouth opens in surprise and her eyes go wide, just like that Home Alone kid as she stares at Jenni. "Ohmygod! Jenni! You're finally here! I knew it was getting close, but I never knew the exact date and it's SO TO SEE YOU AGAIN," she says grabbing Jenni's hand and pumping it vigorously despite the fact that Jenni is pretty much fast asleep, "Or, wait this is the first time for you, so yeah, it's good to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you, from you, of course, but ohmygod you just got here so you have no idea what I'm saying."     She takes a step back and says, "You taught me a bit of interlac." She clears her throat, <<GOOD MORNING! YOUR PUDDING IS ON FIRE>>
Bart Allen	Bart Allen will watch the two and smirks a bit at Irie's reaction "Yea I thought you might find it interesting she was here... wait you knew she was coming ." He hmms and says "I had not thought about you having more relevant info to this time than I did." He admits. He waits for Jenni to be awake before he says "Jenni, this is Irie West, our cousin, Wally's oldest." He adds to help her place her in case she is not sure.
Jenni Ognats	It's been kind of a long day for poor Jenni. Frankly everything before the Cosmic Treadmill exploded on her is all just kind of a blur. And let's face it, any day that involves the phrase 'Cosmic Treadmill exploded' is probably a pretty crappy one to begin with. Getting tossed through what may or may not have been the the Bleed and/or the Timestream uncontrolled and doing one's best impression of a wheel in a parking lot upon landing didn't help a lot, either. Thus, she can be perhaps forgiven for not having the situational awareness to waken BEFORE her cousin grabs her by the hand and gives it a frenetic shake. As it is, the cats expressing their displeasure at being jostled by kicking off of her does more to wake her than Irie does (mainly because cats doing so always seem to be able to kick one in one's most sensitive and/or tender places). After a moment of recovery, she blinks at Irie a few times as she processes the information Bart provides. Wally? That's Gramma Iris' newphew. Then she blinks a few times as Irie makes it clear that she and Jenni are coming at this meeting at noncongruous points in their relative time streams...which, oddly enough, puts her on FIRMER footing rather than confusing her. One simply CANNOT function as a TRUE speedster unless one is willing and able to cope with the concepts behind tangled timestreams. Irie's attempt at speaking Interlac gets her to snort, and she responds a bit slowly and with as simplified syntax as she can in said language, <..not sure which worse, your Interlac or my English.>
Irie West	Irie beams proudly, having gotten a reaction out of Jenni. Sure, she isn't sure if that was the intended reaction, but that only means she said something right, right? "Uhhh..." she says slowly, blushing a little in embarrassment. "That, <Where's the bathroom?>, <Call the Legion!>, <Take me to your nearest time machine> and <Can I pet your animal?> are the only other things I know," she confesses.     So! It's time for charades! "I," she says pointing to herself. "Ran," making little running motions with her two fingers, "from the future," she mimes a hand starting off way to the right and collapsing to her other static hand held out in front of her, "to the past. Today." She grins at Bart. "We're all from the future! We should totally have a party! You ordered pizza, right?"
Bart Allen	Bart Allen nods, and says "Ordered Pizza, Chinese, burgers, and some chicken, so we had a bunch to pick from, and Jenni gets to try some of the good stuff." He will repeat himself in Intergalactic for Jenni "I can play translator while you both get better with the other languages." Again he says it in both languages as about now there is a knock on the door, and he moves to answer it, getting the pizza and putting on the coffee table.
Jenni Ognats	Standing up, it's clear that not only did Jenni raid Bart's closet, but that Bart's friends have been having him on at some point, as she's wearing a shirt that's a size or two too big for her (given their height differences, not unusual), but that is also sporting a prominent Bat symbol. Probably Tim's idea of a joke at some point. As the food arrives, Jenni grabs the big bowl of weird liquid and moves it over to an out-of-the-way part of the kitchen counter, <Oh, Bart...I stole one of your forks...I'm afraid you won't get it back.> She then snorts at Irie and does her best to speak in English, "Me get. You..." She trails off for a moment as she casts about for the word 'speedster', then remembers Wally, her Grandpa, and that old friend of theirs all go by the same superhero name...so that should work to get the point across, "...you Flash, too...time stuff normal." Frankly, for the most part, it's not the vocabulary of English that Jenni finds hard (since she's spoken it in the past before), it's the SYNTAX. This lanaguage was designed by a MAD MAN.
Irie West	Irie's smile lights up as Jenni speaks some broken English. "Yeah! Flash! I've got the Kid Flash name, now that dad is the actual Flash. Fastest girl alive! But I bet you could give me a run for my money." She pauses to wait for Bart to translate that for her, as she goes and grabs a plate from the cupboard. Loading it up with pizza and eggrolls she asks, "How long have you been here for?"     She takes an eggroll and places it square in the middle of a slice of pizza, and then rolls the eggroll up in the pizza. Somehow she manages to fit all this in her mouth. "You going to be helping her get clothes and stuff, Bart, or are we going to give Donna another project? She's gonna need an ID and maybe some cash to get around."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen says, "I figured, I could get Tim to set her up with ID if she is staying for a while, and give you my credit card to take her shopping for clothes." HE explains and then to Jenni he will say <Will get you some proper current Id if you think your going to be here a while and Irie can take you shopping.""
Jenni Ognats	Jenni hrms in thought, then shakes her head and says in her still-broken English, "Neg. You fast. Me slow." Watching Irie's odd culinary choice, Jenni mimics the other girl's steps, then takes a bite of pizza/eggroll. She chews contemplatively for a few moments, then shrugs, "Eh. Khund food worse." Another piece of pizzaroll later, she goes on, "...Me no have Flash learn from." Which probably explains why she feels she's not as fast. As Bart and Irie can probably attest, having a mentor to Speed HELPS.
Irie West	"Sure, //now//," Irie says, grabbing herself another pizzaroll. "But you have an entire Flash family to learn stuff from! OH!" He eyes go wide in excitement, "I can teach you how to phase! It was the first trick I learned how to do! I mean... not right now. We still gotta get you settled in."
Jenni Ognats	Jenni blinks a few times as she tries to parse Irie's statement...then she nods, "Ah! Moving past matter! Me never could master." She then nods, "Bart will want room back. Will not want share girl." She blinks, then grins, "Bart start notice girls yet?" There's a beat as she considers the thought, then remembers English is pretty specfically more gendered, "...or boys?"
Bart Allen	Bart Allen looks over and says Yes, I have a girl friend, and you can crash in the bedroom, I don't mind sleeping on the couch. It turns into a bed, and I can drive it around the living room." Yes he figures that might confuse possibly both of them but smiles. He eats some pizza without the eggrole and when there is a knock on the door moves to get the rest of the food.
Irie West	"It's okay! I can teach you!" Irie says, grinning as she loads up more food on her plate. It's kind of amazing how many calories a speedster can shove down their gullet in one sitting. "And, yeah. He's got a girlfriend. Dunno if he's interested in boys, too, though. You'd have to ask him."     "Waaaaiiiit," Irie says, narrowing her eyes at Bart. "You can drive you //couch// around the living room? Does it have, like, a little motor in it?" She gasps, "Did you install a little horn, too? Beepbeep! Oh! I've decided to get my drivers license. Donna won't let me fly the T-Jet without one."
Jenni Ognats	A sharp ear will note that Jenni's English skills have been improving audibly over the course of the conversation, granted she'd learned the language (for certain values of 'learned') before, but several years of disuse combined with standard Speedster 'learn fast, forget fast' shenanigans mostly reset her. Still, since she's RELEARNING something, it comes easier to her...and it sticks better, "Oh, yeah. Bart had more than a few friends who I'm pretty sure I caught checking him out...but he never seemed to notice." Irie's comment about letting her fly, makes Jenni grin a bit mischieviously, "Well, some of us don't NEED vehicles if we want to fly."
Bart Allen	Bart Allen looks over and says "Well you got a flight ring made by Brainy, I got a drivable changeable counch made by Cyborg. " Yea the ring is much cooler, but hey you got to make it sound like his toys are cool too. He looks over to Irie "When I was moving in, I was looking at multifunction furniture, and Cyborg offered to help."
Irie West	Irie can't help but giggle at Bart. "Of course he did. Cyborg can't leave anything along for too long without upgrading it. Of course he's gonna upgrade your couch."     "Oh! She's got one of those flight rings you were talking about, Bart?" she asks. "Neat! Once we got you all settled in, I wanna take it for a spin!"
Jenni Ognats	Jenni looks down at the ring in question, "Dunno if that'll work. I think I remember Brainy saying he biometric locked them all. I suppose we'll find out later." She shrugs, then snaps her fingers, "Hey Bart...you're up already, can you check my uniform?" She points over to the bowl she'd moved earlier, "I think it should be done, but I was kind of guessing on the chemicals, so I might need to add something else." She then looks back to Irie for a moment before looking back at Bart, "And I guess you've got someone with closer ties to the government now who can get me added to your planet's census?"
Bart Allen	Bart Allen will walk over and says "Ok let me see what is in this." He does look around to see what she put into the bowl, and moves to get some tongs to see if the uniform is even still in the liquid "Yea Robin or one of the other computer folks, or maybe the Titans can do it."
Jenni Ognats	The Xs uniform is indeed in the bowl, and as it's lifted up, he can see that several of the places where it had been torn or cut from her adventures yesterday are once more whole again with the exception of a few tears around the shoulders. Jenni looks over, "Yeah...that's almost done, can you toss another fork in there with it?" She looks at Irie and waves, "Yeah, Braniac came up with this neat material for our uniforms where, if they're not TOO damaged, you stick them in some water and add a bunch of chemicals and they'll repair themselves in a few hours." I'm not sure if he did it because he got tired of fixing Ultra Boy's outfits after every fight or because he was secretly mortified over how many stares Andromeda got when something managed to tear her uniform."
Irie West	"Oh, neat!" Irie says. "My uniform is just kinda... you know... standard uniform materials. Mom was real good with a sewing needle, and she taught me a thing or two." She grins, "But my dad says the real trick is not to get hit in the first place."     "And then Donna got me this leather jacket, so I added it to my costume and I think it really worked out. Makes me look super cool." She stuffs the rest of the plate of food down her mouth and stands up. "One fec. Iww fwow you."     After swallowing her food she zips out of the apartment, is gone for maybe less than a minute and when she returns she's in full uniform! It's mostly yellow, but it's got black and red trim and the classic flash symbol emblazoned on her chest. Over this she's got her black leather jacket which she swears she'll patch on the Flash symbol on the back //one day//. She's got matching red leather gloves on her hands, and goggles for her mask which she's got pulled up.     "Ta-Daaaa!"
Bart Allen	Bart Allen will put a spoon , knife, and looking in his silverware drawer will even out his settings, before coming back into the main area "It should have enough material there." He looks over to the now costumed Irie "I just do the whole ring thing, but I aint going to change into it now, JEnni saw it last night when I found her." He explains.
