Brand Old Day (Open)
Scott West looked from the rooftop in his gold and silver bodysuit, his red hair moving slightly with the breeze, his goggles on tight. His little robotic drone Scooter hovered near him, with his two hover plates ready to deploy for emergency retreats for himself and Scott.

"Look at it Scooter. This city, Keystone City, 500 years before I will be a twinkle in Mom's eye. Before Mom will be a twinkle in anyone's eye. Traversing time and hypertime fragments to come here. And thus our quest begins!"

"Sir... why are you telling me this? I came here with you with the same chronoporter circuit. It's just our luck they both burnt out."

"Scooter, it's not my fault that I used the wrong isotope of yttrium for the circuit. And how would I know that it would react poorly with the valorium mesh of the suit?"

"Basic chemistry, sir?"

Scott made a sour face at the drone. "Cheeky robot. I'd turn down your sarcasmeter if it didn't make you so good at banter."

"Thank you sir. I will take that as a compliment." Scott smiled. He was happy he took Scooter along, give himself a friend. He was always good at making friends, even if he meant it literally. A mental impulse to his suit and the jet boots turn on, lifting him on compressed air alone.

"Well Scooter, let's patrol. The Flashes can't have all the fun, right?"

"Right, sir!" At that, the two fly over the rooftops, making sure that the city sees it's new metallic guardians. I mean, why wear a golden tech suit if no one will see it?

A blue, black, and red streak made its way through the city. It might not be quite as fast as that of one of the city's resident speedsters, but it was an extremely fast one all the same.

Hourgirl was in the city. She'd stopped off to see Mom (in town to check on some Quickstart business), and now was heading back to New York, but figured she'd do a quick crime check, just in case.

On Gold Sentinel's own crime check of the city, he saw the blur.

"Scooter, any idea who that is?"

"No idea, sir. I can't tell at this speed, but I'm assuming it's not a member of your ancestry, due to the costume."

Scott looked at the path she was taking and planted himself in it.

"2.3 seconds until she reaches us sir, assuming she keeps the most probable path."

"My thoughts exactly."

If it's a villain, I get to show off my stuff, if it's a hero, I get a potential ally. Hopefully.

	Wendi skidded to a stop as something, or rather someone, showed up in her path. She could have swerved out of the way, easily, but people in costumes tended to fall into one of two categories. Heroes or villains. "New in town?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scott grinned. "Yep. Gold Sentinel and this is my buddy Scooter." Scott motions his head toward the drone. "And who might you be, miss..." Scott let the words hang, hoping she'd fill in the blanks for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hourgirl," she supplied. "Funny. You remind me of someone, but I can't think of who." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A mental twitch, and the jet boots turn on, though the name is a misnomer. They are really using Weather Wizard IV's tech to redirect the air around the boots to give Scott lift, unlike the hovers in Scooter. "Shall we move these introductions to a rooftop? Seems like it'd be a little more fitting, and these people could go on their merry way that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Wendi stopped to check her hourglass. She still has about fifty minutes left. Plenty of time to have a talk and still make it across the country. "Sure," she said. She accelerated, literally running up the side of the building to the roof. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Scott shot up the side and landed on the top, a mental twitch turning off the boots. He landed with a slight stumble, but he was overall okay.

"Hourgirl, eh? Read a lot about an Hourman in my time. One of the more... inspirational heroes into me coming back here. Glad to know his daughter's inspiration to stay."

"Well, that and a broken chronoporter, sir. Remember? We just-" Scott grabs the robot and shoves him under his arm and pulls him aside.

"And Scooter, what did we JUST go over?"

"Not interrupting you with needless facts? But sir, its true, our chronoporter IS broken!"

"And if this keeps up so will be my hoverboard."

"But I'm... OH! Right, sir. I'll keep myself entertained over here on YouTube, sir."

Scott turns back to Wendi. "Sorry about that... Right then, where were we?"

	Wendi fought very hard and eventually won the urge not to giggle at the banter between the two. "There were two Hourmen before me. And one after, but also kind of before," Wendi replied. "I was saying you reminded me of someone. But I couldn't figure out who." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ah, yes. You see, I took my inspiration from a few other heroes from this general time era." Scott points to the circle around an oval on his golden chest plate. "My symbol is a combination of Gold of the Metal Men and an eye, the root for the word Sentinel. My general theme however comes from a 25th Century visionary who did something quite similar to myself! The amazing Booster Gold!" He grins widely at that one.

"However, more akin to this era's Blue Beetle, all of my gadgets are homemade, or modified from existing tech, in the case of my friend Scooter over there and my jet boots, as well as my amazing-" Scott reaches behind his back and pulls out nothing. His eyes grow wide.

"Scooter! Where is the Baby Box?"

The little disc shaped drone scoots over in the air. "Running armor diagnostic, sir! Bzzzzzt.... Sir! It seems a few gadgets were left back in the 26th Century!" Scott grabs the robot and shakes it.

"Which! ONES?"

"Sir, I suggest being more gentle with me, there is a lady present. Missing items include the Elixer Mixer, the Baby Box, the Green Bean, and the Metal Manacles." The color drains from Scott's face.

"Hrm... This may be a problem. I was hoping to teleport with a Shrieking Tube to travel large distances, but that's obviously not an option. Scooter, how fast can we travel say, 100 miles, give or take?" Scott seems honestly worried.

"Well sir, given my top speed of roughly 87.9 miles per hour, I'd say just over an hour. Your jet boots top out at 231 miles per hour, including additional thrust from the jet blasters in your gloves, cutting the time down to under half an hour, assuming we can continue to work in an area with sufficient ambient energy. Why, sir?" Scott slumps down.

"Well now traversing will be much harder until we get the FF Project done." He gets up and looks to Wendi. "Sorry about the panic attack there. Apparently my preferred method of travel was left behind before the move. So, been in Keystone long yourself?

	"Er... it's fine," Wendi replied. She considered everything he'd said. "Are you a time traveler or something?" She shook her head. "Just stopping by for a visit. I'm from New York." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was a time traveler. My method of time travel has burnt out, but I actually intend on staying here, in this time period, for a while. I just wished I still had my Baby Box."

Upon hearing New York, Scott perks up. "New York, New York? I've heard its a heluva town. Hrm... New York... I've never been myself. Lemme ask you, Hourgirl, mind if Gold Sentinel moves into your town for a while? Trying to find a place to foot myself."

"Sir, I don't believe the city actually belongs to her..."

"Still polite to ask, Scooter." Gold Sentinel looks at her. "Do you think there is enough room in New York for another fellow in costume and his robot buddy?"

	"Ah, I'm sure it'd be fine," she replied. "Big city, five boroughs, plenty of room for lots of heroes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scott grins. "Well Scooter! It looks like we're going to New York!"

"Sir... it will take us roughly 4.22 hours of continuous flight mode to reach there."

"Then it's a good thing I have a copilot for this suit, isn't it?" Scott smiles at the robot.

"I suppose it is, sir..." Four little legs deploy from Scooter, who attaches to Scott's back and a visor deploys from the top of Scooter. Scott grabs it in mid-air and places it over his eyes.

So glad we spent two days perfecting that move.
I can't believe he made me spend two days perfecting how he puts on his glasses.

	Over four hours? Wendi almost had to laugh. She could be there in a couple of minutes on a slow day. "Nice trick," she said instead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why thank you." Scott looks at her, then looks at his visor. "Scooter, is there any way we can speed this up?"

"If only we had some sort of teleporter, sir."

"... Some method without mentioning the fact we forgot the Baby Box..."

"Um... what about... Bzzt... the only way I could would involve disabling the Stun Blasts, and all but the Centerfuge Beam in your Gauntlets sir. I can cut the ride down by half."

"So two point eleven hours? I guess its better than nothing... Hrm... well, Hourgirl, I hope to get to see you again. And if you ever need us, just give us a call." A business card printed Gold Sentinel: Hero of the 26th Century pops out of Scooter, which Scott hands to Hourgirl. On it is an e-mail address and a phone number, but the numbers shift around a bit. "Our contact card. Tied to Scooter or my visor. You need us or want me, you give us a call."

Scott flashes her a smile. "Unless of course, you're in no rush to leave..."

	Wendi wished for a moment that her mask covered more of her face. But she took the card and placed in in the small compartment in her belt behind her hourglass. "Sorry," she said, "but I gotta go." She only had about thirty-five minutes left. Plenty of time, but better safe than sorry, Grandpa Rex always said. "But I hope to see you around." (Reply to this)(Parent)
