[ Ending up in weird alternate dimensions isn't exactly a new thing for Wally, but A) he usually gets a little more warning than this and B) he usually has another member of the League around to help him figure out what's going on. In the absence of both of those things, he's...kind of freaking out. ]

Oh, man-

[And you'll likely end up plowing right into this guy as he's out to grab the mail, knocking him to the ground.]

[hookedonspeed]

Oh, cripes.

[Skidding to a halt, he extends a hand to help Eddie up.]

Sorry about that, man! I was, uh, kind of distracted.

[puzzlerprince]

[Edward bats the hand away, pushing himself off the ground, annoyed.]

Try to be a bit more careful next time.

[hookedonspeed]

[Whoa. More amused than anything by Edward's touchiness, Wally just shrugs and nods.]

Yeah, I will be.

[He pauses for a second. On one hand, this guy is clearly Captain Grumpy of Grump City. On the other, the questions Wally has about his creepy new surroundings aren't likely to answer themselves.]

Hey, this might sound like a weird question, but do you know where we are?

[puzzlerprince]

[Edward gives Wally a look.]

Another newcomer? I swear, this town...

You're in a place called Mayfield. A good deal of us have been abducted from different times, places, even different worlds altogether. And nobody knows the way out.

[hookedonspeed]

[Different times, places and worlds? P'shaw. Wally deals with that stuff every Saturday afternoon. He makes a show of looking surprised as Edward tells him, but he's clearly not as fazed as most people would be.]

And yet you say it so cheerfully.

So who's the bad guy that put us here? And what's the deal with the freaky pictures and stuff?

[puzzlerprince]

I've reason to believe that the culprit is a young girl who resides not too far from this neighborhood. Lucy Smith.

[It's almost like that one episode with the Justice Guild, almost, with that freaky psychic kid.]

As for the pictures, well... Those that put us here expect us to act like your typical nuclear family.

[hookedonspeed]

Oh, good. For a second I thought I'd actually gotten married. Let me tell you, there'd be girls from Gotham to Metropolis crying about that one.

[It is like Seaboard City, and that's exactly what makes Wally drop the jokiness completely for a second.]

...why do you think this Lucy person did it?

[puzzlerprince]

Based on the information I've found in my time here, it appears as though she may be the prime culprit in terms of---

[Wait a second.]

Are you from Gotham?

[hookedonspeed]

[ A dismissive gesture.] Nah. I've visited a few times, but it's not really my kind of place. Too many weirdos running around, you know?

[puzzlerprince]

...I'm from Gotham, actually. Though I'll agree with you there. Far too many "weirdos."
