An Interesting Customer Today
Scott was sitting at his work bench, incredibly BORED. No work today, nothing cool since last night.  The half-finished Beetle Baton sat there, taunting him, but he'd rather not mess with it til Dinah came over again.

"Arg! A supervillain, a mugging, a television to repair! My kingdom for a broken Swiss timepiece!" Scott yelled to the ceiling and moaned. He couldn't do Facebook, since Scooter was already addicted to FarmVille, and there was nothing good on TV at 2 in the afternoon. So he sat and waited and tinkered with a small silver box like device with a lightning bolt design of copper wires on it.

Stupid watch, always breaking down.

Ah well, she'd heard this place was supposed to be good. Maybe she could go a while without breaking this one. She had a pretty much indestructible timepiece she used in her costume, but her everyday one seemed to go to crap all the time.

She pushed open the door and went inside.

Scott sees the door open and puts the box in a drawer. "Ah, hello miss!" He stands up from behind his workbench. "Welcome to Western Time Watch Repairs. I'm Scott West. What brings you through my doors?"

Scott hits a small button on the Remote to tell Scooter "Customer is here, don't come up." Scooter sighs and goes to put the ice cream cone back in the freezer.

Huh. Weird. She could swear she'd met the guy somewhere before. Must be deja vu or something.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the broken time piece. "Yeah, my watch here keeps breaking down," she said. "Gotten it repaired at least three times now, but it keeps stopping on me."

"Let me see here..." Scott pulls the watch from her hand and looks it over. "Yes... yes... Should be a quick fix. I could do it while you wait. Would you like some water, maybe I should turn on the television?"

"I'm fine, thanks," Wendi replied. "What's been going wrong with it?"

Across the street, a large man made of vines punches in the glass door to Schmeindrick's deli, and a woman in a green costume reminiscient of Captain Cold's without the fur or the hood walks through. She's holding an odd green gun.

"Alright sir. I'm afraid you'll have to give me all the money in your drawer and your safe and then close down this house of desecration permanently."

The big plant man smashes the display case with it's arm and the small German man behind the counter starts emptying the cash drawer into a bag.

The sound of the commotion can be heard right across the street at Western Time Watch Repairs.

Scott looks at that and runs to the window and looks out through it. "I'm very sorry, Miss. There seems to be some sort of trouble outside. Take the stairs up, go to the last door on the left, take the fire escape. Get out while you can. I'm going to stay here and call the cops." Scott presses the alarm button on the remote in his hand and Scooter, still out of sight in the lab, quickly flies to grab the suit and gauntlets for Scott to suit up once the coast is clear.

Yeeeeah, she'll be doing that. Wendi took the stairs and went out the fire escape... but she was changing to her costume as she did.

"3x2(9yz)4a!" She made a quick scan of what was going on and, being outnumbered, went for strength and durability over speed. With a leap, she landed on the street below.

The minute Wendi was out the window, Scott locked down the shop and Scooter zoomed in. Scott steps into the boots, pulls on the sleeves, puts on his gauntlets and molecuseals the back. Scooter shoots the visor out for the awesome wearing and it's good. Scott sits down in his chair, shoots down the tube under his desk with Scooter and shoots out of the manhole cover the next street over.

A quick fly down to Mr. Schmeindricks and Scott has his blasters set to "freeze".

"Hey, Lady, Mr. Tree, I'm afraid you're smashing up Queens. And I can't have that. What if I want some tuna salad for lunch?"

Hey! It was that guy again!

"Robbing a deli? Seriously?" she said, as she came up behind him. "There's a bank not three blocks over."

Scott came to the realization that he had already had Jerry Carr, Henry Jordan, Dinah, and Goldstar in his lab. In for a penny, in for a pound he thought. He went to the roof of Western Time, waiting by the chimney entrance to the lab.

Mental not to self, make this thing have a water slide option. That'd be awesome. GOld Sentinel looked at Hourgirl and grinned.

"So, super strength and speed? I'm impressed by your array of talents, Hourgirl."

Hourgirl had gotten to the roof in one super-powered leap.

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, well, it's an either or kinda thing. But don't go spreading that around."

"No problem. Say, how about we enter my lair. It's a little hot today, and I like air conditioning myself. This roof has an entrance to it anyway." Gold Sentinel put on his ever cheesy grin.

"Besides, you just concussed a villainess and I put her lackey on ice. I say we deserve a smoothie or coffee or something to celebrate. And Scooter here is my own personal barista."

"I try, sir." Scott motions to the chimney with his head, to point out where the entrance is.

"Wait, your secret headquarters is a watch shop?" Wendi asked.

"That's... kinda neat, actually."

"Eh, I figured I've had both Green Lanterns, Goldstar and Scarab all over before. Why not you too?" The chimney slides over, revealing the slide.

"Ladies first?"

Scott managed to take Hourgirl to the Brownstone. Well... She rode Scooter like a boogie board the whole time, and Scott had to think of a new option. He decided next time he saw her, he'd try to find the old Prototype flight suit in case she wasn't flight capable at the time.

The next morning, Scott was sitting at his bench, waiting for the girl with the watch to come back in. Scooter's audio recognition program had noticed something between the sounds from the comm system in Scott's ear and the voice of Hourgirl.

Scott had Hourgirl's watch in his hand. And he enjoyed knowing that. Now she just had to fill out the forms for the repair, and he would know. And knowing is half the battle.

In this case, the other half is a mix of team-ups and smoothies, apparently. Just saying.

Wendi opened the door and walked in.

"Hey," she said. "Glad to see this place is still here after yesterday."

Yes, keep it light. Don't let on that you know more than you do.

"Yep, that girl from the JSA and that Gold Sentinel fellow showed up and took care of the crazy green broad. I went over last night and helped Mr. Schmeindrick board up the window. Now, just a few orders of business." Scott slides back in his rolly chair and grabs a paper and pen off of the (not futuristic) workbench, and wheels back to the front desk.
"One, I need you to fill out this form of repair, verifying that I have your watch and it is fixed. Legal matter, Mrs. Leibowitz next door and Mrs. Nguyen down the street both have lawyers for sons, and after I fixed Mike Leibowitz's grandfather clock, he made me up these forms for folks to fill out. Name, phone number, e-mail, ways to reach you. In case things go south, you agree it wasn't my fault, and if you have future problems, I can always call you up with statuses on repairs."

Scott then grabbed a plain business card and placed it on the desk. "And that is so you can call me with any problems, or if you got friends who need repairs done. Now let's see here..."

Scott pulls out Wendi's watch and shows it to her. "Fixed and polished. Also, I threw in a thing Mrs. Bolarsky three doors down keeps giving me. Good for a free frozen yogurt at her shop."

"Oh, sure," Wendi said, as she got to filling out the paperwork. "No prob. But you get to see any of the fight?"

She picked up the card and then the watch. "You do good work," she said.

"Thank you. I'm afraid I only saw a bit at the end after I had my taser in hand. Saw the girl hero punch that green lady in the face, and Gold Sentinel got out of those vines. Too bad about him getting kicked in the face though."

Scott thanked himself he had some extra face putty to cover up the mark down his cheek from the kick from Captain Creeper. That still stung when he talked. The Elixer Mixer was great, but man did it make you sore as it healed you.

Wendi had stayed longer than she'd intended, but didn't really mind. Though she was certain she was going to be paying for all that pizza later.

Scott, however, had insisted on walking her back to the train station. She didn't need the escort, but also had no real reason to refuse.

"Thanks again for lunch," she said.

"No problem. It was my pleasure. Now then if you need anything you just review that business card and call me. And you got the repair slip so you can review what I did for your watch there."

Scott grins. Because on the back of the repair slip he drew, with his gold biometric ink, an hourglass. A simple hourglass. Let's see if she figures that out.

"Or call if you want to get lunch again. That always works too."

"My pleasure. Pizza and a nice girl to eat with. Sadly..." Scott pulls out his pocket watch, totally forgetting he's wearing his artillery watch already (tells time and has a minor laser inside. Very useful). "I have to go back and finish Mr. Barone's television and Mr. Schmeindrick's watches. But if you do end up back in Queens, my door is open for you."
