driftfleet | 003 ϟ open } { wake me up before you go go

Who: Barry Allen + YOU
Broadcast: Video
Action: First Breath + Visitors
When: December 1st

[action ~ first breath]

[Somewhere, many many Earths away, Barry Allen says goodbye to his family and the woman he loves and steps through into the speed force. All that really exists in the speed force is running, so that's what he does - he runs, as fast as he can and as far as he can, until he doesn't have to run anymore.

And on December 1st, in his room on the First Breath, Barry opens his eyes for the first time in thirty days. It's disorienting at first, not knowing immediately where he is or that he's not in the speed force anymore, so he instinctively does the first thing he can think of - he runs. He blazes through the halls of the ship in an endless look, a burst of red and god lightning that can't be caught and disrupts everything around him.

Pro: He is not running fast enough to accidentally phase himself through the hull of the ship and out to die in the vacuum of space, nor is he phasing through doors into private areas he shouldn't be in.

Con: Pretty much everything is getting blown everywhere, because running at superspeed is not subtle or unnoticeable.

Eventually he'll skid to a stop or someone will stop him but apologies to the other members of the crew - you're all getting quite the wake up call this morning.]

[video ~ fleetwide]

[And after he is caught, calmed down, and realizes where he is, he'll eventually make his way back to his bunk to try and reorient himself in general. Which is when an awkward looking Barry will appear over a network because he has a very important question to ask that probably shouldn't wait.]

So, hey guys. Sorry about being radio silent but I was ... out for a while. A really long while.

[That's mostly an apology to Kara and Mon-El - he doesn't really think anyone else beyond his crew was looking for him. He needs to be better at making friends.]

Anyway - has anyone else had one of those weird coma dreams where they go home and actually live some of their life and come back again? And if so, am I the only one who finds that super weird and disorienting, or can we all agree that that pretty much sucks?

[Please feel free to register your vote with the speedster present at your convenience.]

[And there's a bit of disappointment there, because he liked Furiosa, but it's good to see that there were people ready to step up.]

If she's disappeared before does that mean she'll be back?

... Yikes.

[That doesn't sound very good at all.]

But you and Mon El, you're both okay?

We are.

I may have trekked through a cannibal-infested forest to check on him.

... Double yikes. I'm starting to feel a little bad that I was passed out for all of this.

[At this, Tyrion perks slightly.]

Yes ... yes she could. Although, she may not remember us. Or she might be ... different in other ways.

[ She watches him, just to make sure, but accepts his word. Hermione would like to think he'd be honest if he did need something. ]

That sounds lovely. I'll meet you there in a few minutes?

Grumpiness? He seemed like he was in a pretty good mood most of the time. Flirty. [There was this night at a bar and...we don't need to go into details.]

I'm guessing screw with time. My least favorite.

I'm not so sure there was too much you could do.

Probably. At least you don't have to go through the bad parts again. Unless you do. This place is very confusing. And we know each other now! Or you do.

[His brow furrows for a moment.]

Do people lose their memories of being here? Or is it more of an alternate universe thing?

That sounds perfect.

[And we can say they had a lovely time hanging out on the Iskalut and start something new in January?]

Flirty?

[He blinks a bit for a moment, because that definitely doesn't sound like the Oliver he knows. Despite his playboy reputation.]

Must have been a different Oliver than mine.

[A beat, because hoo boy if Barry isn't guilty of that.]

Fix time, actually. They tend to leave the screwing it up to the rest of us.

Also possible. There's no shortage of versions of all of us in the multiverse. There was another Kitty with me in the last place.

[She tilts her head.] Why are the rest of you screwing up time?

Maybe not, but at least I wouldn't feel like I was lying down on the job.

[Barry could have at least been part of the solution, rather than worrying other people.]

I know what you mean, but don't be too hard on yourself about it.

Maybe you'll wind up in one of these fun time travel comas and catch up?

[He doesn't know what happens in between where Mon El is now and what happens with the Music Meister, but it might be nice if they were all on the same page.

Ish.]

I believe some do, and some people do not. It just depends.

Usually emotional distress or poor impulse control.

[At least as far as Barry is concerned.]

I'll try.

[He pauses, before shaking his head a bit.]

I don't know about you, but I need a break from this ship. Want to head over to the Iskaluit?

[He nods, but it would be really interesting to find out what that depends on exactly.]

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Sure. I mean, I don't need a break from your ship, but giving you a break from your ship is right up my alley.

Awesome.

[And off they will go to have some fun shenanigans on another ship. /scene]

So only the best reasons then? [She smiles. Why not? He's never messed up her timeline that she knows of.]

I suppose we will...

[He leaned back, sighing softly.] So here we go?

Maybe. They did put me in a coma for awhile, but I just woke up hungry.
