A Crazy Day Off

Jerry didn’t have school today due to flooding around his state while it wasn’t too bad in Happy Harbor one major road was closed and subsequently school was canceled too. This was the perfect time to go out and have some fun exploring with his power.

This seemed like as good a time as any to go exploring Gotham especially if since it was still light outside. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do there yet but have the fun of going on these types of trips was not knowing and just letting things happen.

After getting himself ready to go with money and a green lantern t-shirt he closed his eyes and snapped his fingers.

Shit. What were the chances that he would run into Keith in the middle of Star City? If he had to guess Jerry would say the odds were not very likely. Knowing how suspicious he had been earlier Jerry wasn’t even going to try to talk his way out of this one to Keith. With that in mind Jerry ignores Keith’s calls and starts walking in the opposite direction a bit faster but not enough to draw to much suspicion.

Um, what? Did Keith Queen just get the Cold Shoulder? Fuck that. "I know you didn't just give Keith Queen the cold shoulder, Jerry Carr!" Yeah. He was a little mad at being ignored. For a socialite like Keith- that was a crime punishable by intense interrogation as to why his pure awesome-concentrate was no being recognized.

Naturally, Keith picked up the pace and kept after Jerry. He was more suspicious now than he was before. Clearly Jerry remembered their conversation from earlier in the day.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. He hadn’t used that many shits to describe a situation since he last tried to play Left 4 Dead on Expert but right now it was appropriate. Jerry had hoped that Keith would just assume that he was mistaken and not go after him but that did not seem to be the case.

Once he got to a corner he could turn down he picks up the pace hopeful to lost Keith in the city which probably wasn’t too smart given that Keith knew the city better than him.

	Definitly not going to lose Keith in Star City. It's his home, his lair, his (ex-)bachelor pad, and his hunting ground. Keith broke out into a run and turned the corner, keeping Jerry in his sights. "Dude! Get back here!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jerry was very good at learning his way around new places but still at quite the disadvantage to Keith. Once Jerry notices Keith running he starts running too. Jerry has a bit of a head start and for now at least was keeping it but he needed to make a plan of escape. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And yet Keith was more-or-less a trained athlete. If the Black Canary was your mom, you would be too. He kept on Jerry and was closing the distance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jerry noticed two things as he was running first that Keith was catching up to him and second was a bouncy ball quarter machine. Thinking fast Jerry snapped his fingers teleporting some bouncy balls right behind him as he pasted the machine. No one would notice what had happened unless they had been looking at the ground when the balls appeared in a small flash of green.

While Jerry knew this would not stop Keith he hoped it would slow him down.

Flashes of green in the dark? Keith didn't expect that, and he almost fell over. Yeah, Jerry managed to slow him down alright. But it didn't help Jerry's case to do that. He could tell that Jerry was the one who put those there, and in a flash of green light.

Keith started to pick up speed again after making passed the bouncy balls. Jerry had managed to gain some distance, though.

That distraction had worked but Jerry could tell he still needed to make some more distance before he could get out of sight and teleport away.

Looking for anything he could use as a distraction knowing it was a bit juvenile but thinking it would probably work Jerry snaps his fingers and in a flash of lime-green pants Keith teleporting his pants several feet behind him.

	While that did catch Keith's attention, and it did bother him- he was still chasing Jerry. "Get back here, Jerry Carr!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

“You got the wrong guy,” Jerry called behind him; he knew that it wouldn’t stop him from chasing him but lying could hurt too much at this point.

Jerry started looking for something else he could use for a distraction which he found passing a trash can. Snapping both fingers two banana peels appear with a small flash of lime-green right in front of Keith on the ground to try to slip him up. If it worked in Looney Toons it should work here.

	It... did work. Keith, in all of his pants-less glory, slipped on a banana peel and fell on his face. He skid, and got a nasty scratch. But he'd been through worse in his life. The teenage hero got up from the ground and kept running, hoping to catch up with Jerry again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After see that Keith had fallen Jerry turned down the nearest alleyway and once out of sight still running closed his eyes and teleported back home. This was bad but maybe he could organize some damage control from home and it was also getting pretty late back in Happy Harbor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

And when Keith finally turned the corner into the alleyway, Jerry was gone. There was absolutely no possible way he could have gotten completely out of range in that short of a time.

"Tch." Keith was definitly mad. He considered the possibility that Jerry might be a criminal. He'd have to ask Henry. "One thing's for sure, though. Dude's a teleporter."

But it was late, and Keith needed to get home. Rest assured, though- he was going to investigate everything he could about Jerry Carr.
