Kurt watched as Alfred walked to the door, reaching it an instant after the
doorbell rang. How did he do that? In zipped a figure talking at a rate
that would have Pietro trying to keep up.
"thisissocoolRobbie(1)calledmeandsaidthatNightcrawler, youknow, thatcharacterfromtheTVshowisreallyrealandhe'sfromanother dimension, andhe'shereandhe'smyfavoritecharacter, myabsolute favoriteandcanImeethim, pleasepleaseplease,canImeethim, whereishe, doyathinkhe'dhelpmepullaprankonRoy, teleporting'gotta comeinrealusefulforstufflikethat, whereishe?"
Considering the fact that Kurt couldn't make out enough of the conversation to even follow the general gist of it, it's little wonder that he tried to hide before Wally ran off screaming, but it is somewhat difficult to get out of sight in time in an unfamiliar place when one's energy reserves are too low to teleport and somebody is searching for you at hyperspeed. It's little wonder that Kurt was caught.
[please don't scream. please don't scream. please don't scream.]
Wally just stood still for about a nanosecond-literally-to consider all possible options. Then his motormouth was off again. "Thisissoooocool. Iwatchyourshowallthetimeandyou're myfavorite, butMomsaysIwatchtoomuchcartoonsandreadtoomanycomics, sosometimesIgottagetDonnatotapetheshowforme, andIbroughtthe tapesandmaybewecouldwatchthemlater, andI'mhungrywhatdid Alfredmakeforbreakfast? He'sthebestcookinthewholewideworld."
[He's not freaking out. So far, so good, but....]
"Was?"
Dick had watched the whole encounter and answered for Wally. "He said he likes the TV show your life is in this world and asked what was for breakfast."
"And whether or not you'd help me prank Roy," Wally added, finally slowing down enough to be understood by those less familiar with speedtalk.
[Can you say noodlebomb?]
Before Kurt could answer, Alfred called everyone to breakfast. Two minds wondered if he did that on purpose. The third one knew he did.
Heavenly fragrances wafting from the kitchen put all further thought of practical jokes out of two young minds. For those living on a hypermetabolism, some things have higher priority in life. Everyone sat down and Kurt started making one of his infamous waffle sandwiches. (2)
"A little syrup, little jam, eggs, bacon, oh, pickles would be
good..."
Kurt looked up to see everybody staring at him. Bruce and Dick were starting on their first waffles, while Wally, courtesy of
hyperspeed, was on his fifth.
[This is going to be a looong morning...waddaya know? Someone
actually eats faster than me]
Kurt's thought processes were interupted by Wally. "why didn't I ever think of that? Will someone pass the jelly and the pickles?"
[I think I'm going to like this kid.]
Breakfast continued on along the same line, with Bruce and Dick starting to look just a little disturbed by the creations on Kurt and Wally's plates. Soon breakfast was over and Wally remembered the other part of his speedtalk that Dick hadn't translated.
"Hey Kurt? Remember us talking about how you're a cartoon character in our world? I've got tapes of it in my bag. Wanna see?"
"Ja, just let me get my comic books, the ones that show you and
Dick."
"What?"
"Oh, Dick didn't tell you? In my world you're comic book
characters."
