Bart Allen, Hallmark'verse Smallville, Milliways

[mm_joann]

Someone is back.

Or, more accurately, someone never left.

Bart's door still hasn't come back. This is a Problem, because he doesn't like being stuck in one place like this and, though he would not likely admit this as a reason ever, the Kents are probably worrying. (And there's that small matter of the blonde girl who insisted they loved each

"...this isn't the Torch office," Chloe mutters as she enters the bar, fingering the straps of her messenger bag. Her eyes narrow and she looks around what clearly appears to be a bar. "And, um, not an inter-dimensional portal to the Talon, either. Ookay."

!

It is not Bart who notices Chloe first, but Shelby, who alertly alerts Bart via barking and wagging his tail to indicate 'look! Familiar blonde person!'

And then, lo! there is a Bart beaming at her because FAMILIAR BLONDE PERSON. "Hey, Chloe."

Uh. How to explain this.

"We're in some kind of other dimension."

Shelby goes: SQUEAKY TOY CANS BE THROWN NOW :D?

A bar with Bart in it. Okay, who in their right mind would even let Bart into a bar?

Her eyebrows go up as she bends down to scritch Shelby's ears. "Sure you're not exaggerating, Bart?"

[blinkandyoumiss]

"Yeah, I wish. I've been here for a couple weeks."

The books draw his attention. Namely because he majored in theoretical physics. He never thought he'd apply it to the sort of situation like...well...the bar but-

"....College test?" This coming from the kid wearing fatigues with the air-force logo on the side and the name "SHAW" in big black letters on the pocket.

He remembers those. They were brutal.

[blinkandyoumiss]

"No."

He's a sophomore.

In high school!

[initatedbiolock]

He stares for a moment at one of the open pages.

"....You read that kind of stuff for fun?" So does he, but that's beside the point, "...doesn't this place have any other books besides ones that look relatively incomprehensib-"

Well, now he looks intrigued. his world doesn't have spaceflight or interdimensonal travel but that equation looks very familiar.

Hmmmmm.

Behold the exceptionally gifted individual looking like he wants to steal your book Bart.

[blinkandyoumiss]

"No. I'm trying to figure out how to get home."

..Huh. Home. Smallville.

Huh.

A blonde boy wanders by wearing what looks scarily like Luke Skywalker's farmboy clothes.

Looking over the other boy's shoulder, he pulls a face. "That is the worst description of that I have ever seen."

[blinkandyoumiss]

"You got a better one?"

It's not particularly snarky. He really wants to know!

[empath_boy]

"Well, it might be different in my world, but I can try." Ender takes a deep breath. "The key with interdimentional travel is to know where you are and where you're going." He eyes the equations for a moment. "And kriff the math. Instinct's so much easier to go by."

[blinkandyoumiss]

....

"Yeah, that's great and all, but not so helpful for actually getting from point A to point B."

[mm_mono]

A football-headed kid is WATCHING YOU.

From not-very-afar. He's trying to see what Bart is reading without asking.

[blinkandyoumiss]

Bart is not noticing.

Yet.

BUT SHELBY DOES. And cants his head at the football-kid. ?

[mm_mono]

He sneakily not sneakily at all approaches Bart's chair and leans around to view the front of the book.

Quick, poke him and make him fall over. O:

[blinkandyoumiss]

HOW ABOUT A BARK?

Shelby is willing to provide that!

[evercleverest]

"Hello again," says a pleasant Hermione. "Researching something?"

[blinkandyoumiss]

"Yeah. Looking for a way home."

IT'S THE CAT LADY. Shelby is Alert!
