[brat]

( he isn't responding directly to chirper. this is signigicantly easier, so - )

When did you show up?

[wattage]

I've been here a little while. Why?

[brat]

What do you know about Grodd?

[wattage]

That he's my friend.

[ The other stuff, Wally will keep to himself for now. Who even is this guy? ]

[brat]

Odd.

( but he supposes it could be worse. damian can work with it, at least. )

Can you meet me in Indigo Valley? I will send you exact coordinates.

[wattage]

[ ...absolutely not. ]

Who are you?

[brat]

Robin. Obviously.

[wattage]

You must have me confused for someone else.

I don't know anyone named Robin.

[brat]

But I do know someone who answers to the name Wallace West who is familiar with a beast named Grodd.
You are not in your home universe anymore. This is where multiverses collide.

[wattage]

[ A month ago, when things were status quo, Wally would have thought this is nuts. That he's finally lost it. But after what he's seen--

Anyway, if this is a trap, he's at least fast enough to get away. ]

Send me the coordinates.

[brat]

( west is annoying, but not unreasonable from what damian has been able to gather on the boy thus far. he is grayson's teammate back on damian's earth, which speaks enough for itself there.

still. this isn't their west, their 'kid flash', so damian plans for his own contingencies even as he's sending wally the coordinates: about as far south on indigo valley as they can possibly get, bordering the water but far enough away from wayne manor that he isn't concerned over it.

it's where robin will be waiting, sitting on the hood of the batmobile he'd gotten from back home some time ago, two bags of wcdonalds on the hood while he stuffs fries into his mouth. )

[wattage]

[ Considering his luck so far, Wally didn't think he could be blamed for thinking this is a trap. After the accident in Barry's lab, no one reaching out to him had good intentions. At least, not from his perspective. They were chasing him, trying to drag him back to Fort Fox where they'd probably lock him up and throw away the key.

Or worse.

But he goes, because, well what does he have to lose here? Nothing really. His dad apparently didn't even know he'd left the dimension and that meant neither did the people looking for him. He just has to be prepared to run.

So he follows Damian's directions to the southern most point of Indigo Valley and spots the kid in a costume sitting on the hood of a car he doesn't recognize but can't help but admire. Wally isn't dressed for the occasion - jeans and a hoodie with the hood pulled up so he didn't feel so exposed. His approach is slow, steady, cautious and he stops with enough distance between him and the car that he can leg it out of here if he needed to. ]

Nice car.

[brat]

It's efficient enough.

( the car, he means. which, of course it is, damian himself had upgraded it back home when it had been just himself and grayson in the field. but he isn't bragging, nor is he going to go into the specifics of the batmobile itself just yet. no, this is just testing the waters. it's why he reaches back into the food bag, grabs onto another handful of fries to stuff them into his mouth, then grabs onto the other bag so he can offer it out towards wally. )

A burger. With as fast as your metabolism tends to run, I assumed you could use all the carbohydrates you could get.

( it's hinting at something, yes, but he's not going to outright say what he suspects wally is. not just yet. )

[It was nice to be asked to do this, but really, Maelle feels incredibly awkward. She doesn't typically go out of her way to strike up conversations with strangers... but she doesn't want to let Damian down. Here goes nothing.]

Hello. Is this Wally?

[wattage]

Who wants to know?

[maellum]

Maelle.

[Sorry, Damian, she doesn't know how to keep this in the bag without being a creep.]

I'm friends with Robin.

[wattage]

[ Oh that guy. ]

Yeah, I'm Wally. He send you?

[maellum]

Yeah. He's nicer than he lets on.

Unfortunately, I don't think he realizes just how socially awkward I am. So don't hold my weirdness against him, okay?

[wattage]

I'm sure you're not that bad.

[maellum]

You'd be surprised.

Do you have a lot of people from home here?

[wattage]

No I'm here by myself.

Do you?

[maellum]

I do, yeah. My guardian and our friends somehow all ended up here.

I think you're around my age? I'm sixteen.

[wattage]

It's good that you have so many people you know.

Yeah, I'm fifteen. Are there a lot of kids our age?

[maellum]

Sort of. More older people than anything, but enough to have a few friends. If that's what you want.

[wattage]

Maybe I'll meet some of them.
