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.

	"I'm there off and on," Wendi replied. "But I don't live there like some of the team." "Sorry I missed you," she added. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's fine. If you ever want to do anything, that business card I gave you should be updated to the lab now. The line is a direct line to Scooter. Biometrics should make it so it only reads for you. Well, and me, but I know well where I live."

Scott was rambling. He only rambles when he's nervous. Damnit, stop being nervous! Scott thought to himself. He takes a long drin of his smoothie, hoping to calm down.

	"Cool," Wendi said, taking a sip of her smoothie. "Pretty impressive tech." "Watch shop, though? Pretty cool. My grandpa's actually got a pretty big clock collection." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scott laughs. "Well, I know machines, backwards and forwards. Televisions, clocks, chronoporters, museum drones, freeze rays, freezers, refridgerators, chlorophylic accelerators, anti-gravity hovers, video game consoles. If it's broken, I'll fix it. Plus, I got my nanites to hand jobs I can't do by hand." Scott smiles.

"I'd like to see all the clocks one day. I know my place has a nice little collection. GOt started by Clock King. Apparently he had this place first, then Proffessor IQ, then yours truly. Seems everything I have is a hand me down from a villain."

	"Not too much of a tech head," Wendi admitted. "More into fitness stuff that anything. But still cool." "Wow," she replied. "But then again, villains do have the best stuff sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scott grins. "That's why my whole suit is made out of villains stuff, upgraded by me and Scooter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Saw the freeze thing you did. Who'd you get that from? The Icicle? Mr. Freeze? Captain Cold?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Captain Cold. Spinny beam is from a future Top, glider beam froma future Golden Glider, strength enhancer from a few different guys. Lasers from Booster Gold's JLI suit. Had to go classic somewhere. And my new baby, the Valorium Mesh flight suit. Among other things. Yes, who can hit Mach 3 for flights now? Still not Flash or Quick fast, but pretty nice I think. Oh, and I got my Baby Box back for emergencies. Or visiting the Lanterns."

Idiot, I said stop rambling!

"So, anything particularly fun going on for you?"

	"You're a regular Swiss Army Knife," Wendi observed. "Pretty cool, actually. She shook her head. "Nothing much. Out of school for the summer, but no big plans or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-18 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Scott grins. "Well... if you'd like to make some big plans, I'd be more than happy to help." There! Charm, back online! Hopefully! Oh man... nerves are back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2010-06-18 02:56 am UTC (link)
	She smiled a little nervously at that. "Yeah, well, maybe," she agreed. "Kinda seems like every summer there's some world ending catastrophe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-18 02:59 am UTC (link)
	"I'm from 500 years in the future. I can tell you first hand, it won't end the world." Well, hopefully. Chronal variance and temporal distortion COULD allow me to be feeling the reverse BA effect. Well, the time travel one, not the war one. Ah! Mental rambling now? Really! Scott Bartholomew "Highball" Knight Rayner-West, you stop that right now! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The future, or a future?" Wendi asked. "Cause I've never been clear on that kind of thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-18 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Scott frowns. "... We could think optimistically and say 'the'. I'm just saying." Wow... That'd suck if I wrote myself out of existance. Though I'm pretty sure I can't, or else Hunter would be on me like... well, Hunter on a chronal abnormality. "Though I am pretty sure it'd be 'The' future. I'm still here at least." Scott pokes himself. "Yep. Still here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, this is why I leave time travel to other people," Wendi laughed. "It makes my head hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-19 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Fair enough. But if you ever want an explanation, I'll be more than happy to help you." Good, good, the charm is working again... Now, off of time travel "So what's it like, running fast? Every speedster I know has told me a different story. What's yours?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's pretty cool," Wendi admitted. "Kind of like being on a roller coaster. Big rush, only you can tell what's going on around you. Kinda different for me, though, since my speed's not on all the time. "Oh, and I can fly too, when I'm doing the speed thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-19 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh really?" Scott thinks to himself. Going flying with someone could be fun. Well, someone beyond fellow Lantern-brood, at least. Scott smiles. "I love flying. Sure, I'll never hit the speeds my family could, but I love it. Helps clear the mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2010-06-19 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"It's nice," she admitted. "But I don't get to do it for fun all that often. Way my powers work, I have to be pretty responsible about using them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wannabelantern 2010-06-20 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"What a shame..." Scott thought to himself. Must find my spare flight suit. The old prototype flight system. Take her flying around. "Well... how about Scooter and I give you a ride back to the Brownstone? Or to your place? Scooter is a hoverboard, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	3x2_9yz_4a 2010-06-20 01:15 am UTC (link)
	"That'd be great, thanks," Wendi replied. "The Brownstone's fine, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)
