Slipstream has posed:
There's been a lot going on lately in Drake's world, and recent events has got his red flags up and sirens blasting away in his head. Why not go to his teammates? They're off saving the universe in various parts of the galaxy and right now, he isn't sure who he should talk to about this.

Go big or go home, right?

A dash of blue light is seen blinking through the offices of the Daily Planet as the speedster-teleporter hops about around various employees, peeking over shoulders, trying to sniff out a certain office.

"Hey! Oops, excuse me! My bad.. err.. Looking for Lois Lane!"

Zip. Zip. Zip. He comes to a pause, trying to get his bearings as he looks about, giving a sheepish wave. "Uh.. hey folks.. Slipstream from the Legion of Superheroes.. uh.. here for an interview." He's not wearing a cape. Just an Overwatch bomber jacket, jeans and a black t-shirt. But maybe he's recognized as being an Avenger from a few months back.

Life on the D-list sucks sometimes.

Lois Lane has posed:
The Daily Planet is usually pretty busy, but being as high profile as they are, they're probably not that surprised to see a superhero in their headquarters as some smaller reporting companies are. Heck, Lois is often seen interviewing Superman all the time as is.

The receptionist glances up at the young man and smiles slightly, perhaps recognizing him even without his costume. Hey, he's got a Legion ring, and wasn't he part of the Avengers at some point? "Ah yes, Mr..Slipstream, was it? Of course. One moment."

She finishes up whatever she's doing at the desk before rising, beckoning him to follow her. It's not hard to find Lois' office, and al though she's well known around these parts, she chose a moderate office, one with her name clearly marked on the front. The lady knocks on the door and smiles. "I've called ahead, she should be along shortly. Have a nice day!" with a slight smile she turns and leaves.

A moment later, Lois opens the door and smiles. "Ahh, you are Slipstream, right? Please come in. Take a seat.." she nods to the comfy chair opposite her desk. "How can I help you?"

Slipstream has posed:
Giving a quick salute to the receptionist, Drake makes his way into the office, then flops down into a chair. He waits for it to be closed, then runs a hand back through his hair. "Hey there! You can call me Drake. But yeah, that's my code name, though I was told that in the future it'd be changed to Dynamite. Living with future folk is neat. I kinda got this computer with all these records and it has you know.. everything in history catalogued and it's all holographic and 3D like."

"So, I spend a /lot/ of time sitting on the cruiser's digital library, spoiling myself on upcoming movies and Super Bowl wins. Like, why not, right? Wait until you find out how the world ends. Anyways, so.. you and Suuuuupes..." He says, tapping his two index fingers together. "Got a thing going on. Dope. So, you know.. I kinda wanted to pass on some critical information to him that I uncovered and it pertains to information regarding the /here and now/."

"So, uh.. hang on to your seats, but.. Wonder Woman is.. captured.. and a clone is currently replacing her..." He trails off. ".. Ta da..."

Lois Lane has posed:
Lois Lane arches a brow, faintly amused at his chipperness. "Mr..Drake? Alright, nice to meet you, Drake." she scratches her head, smiling a bit as he babbles a bit. The part about the world ending does cause her to peer intently at him for a bit, definitely curious about that but..

"Wait, Wonder Woman..Captured?" she frowns, paying attention now. "By a clone? Are you sure about that? Where did you get your information from?" not that she doubts that he's telling the truth but, one always has to be careful before jumping to conclusions.

Slipstream has posed:
"From the thirty-first century historical records." Drake says as he slides a small data pad out of his pocket, tapping along with it. A 3D graphic pops up that resembles a pile of index cards and he runs his fingers over them so that they can shuffle about. "Looking, looking... ah-ha! Here we go."

"On this date, which was .. three weeks ago, Diana Prince, aka, Wonder Woman of the Justice League was held captive on a mystical island ran by Japanese Gods and then rescued."

Drake taps the screen again, then flips through another index card. "So, that's all the information that it gave me. You know how Space Internet is, right? Super limited. Well, I got really bored and decided to visit Diana at one of her grand openings for some type of Museum thingy. I dunno. It was boring but they servedthese dope tiny hot dogs on toothpicks."

"So, I hit her up for conversation, threw out some very easy information that she would know and she .. uh.. failed badly. Like we all know Tony Stark is an Avenger, but I told her that his name was Tony Cage and he led the Champions and I was apart of their team and she was like Ooooh riiiiight, yeaaaah... you know what I mean? Also, she had no clue about any of the shit she was supposed to be showing off in her own museum. She was really involved in making stuff up as she went and drinking wine."

"So, yeah, she totally did not act like the Diana that /I/ know and have met. So, therefore, replaced by a clone, or a really bad shapeshifter who doesn't know how search enginges work."

As he eases back into the chair, his brows rise upwards with a grin.

Lois Lane has posed:
Lois Lane blinks slowly as he brings up the futuristic 3D graphic thinger, and just bites her lip, marvelling quietly at the technological wonders. "Wow..So you really are from the future. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Legion but I will have to do my research.." she smiles, steepling her fingers.

"Um no, I actually don't know what Space Internet is.." Lois does nod slowly though, sighing. "Hm, this could be really bad..But I wonder, who would clone her and why? I suppose they could get into places that Wonder Woman would go to, and perhaps spy on the Justice League but..."

Ahh yes, and another important thing. "Alright, do you know anything more about this mystical island run by Japanese gods? I'm assuming the *real* Wonder Woman is still being held captive there?"

Slipstream has posed:
"Oh, I'm not actually from the future." Drake says as he spins the index cards about with his finger. "I am born and raised in San Francisco in the here and now, became a world champion eSport player for Overwatch, got stuck in a time prison by A-Lister bad guy Glorith who /is/ from the future, rescued by the Legion of Superheroes by /the/ Lar Gand, who is a Daxamite and the thirty-first century version of Superman. Found myself with nifty speed powers. Joined the team, and now I veg out on thirty-first century TV shows on a space ship in orbit and I get to go to other planets and save the galaxy. Twice now!"

"Not to be confused with the Guardians of the Galaxy. They got that shit trademarked. Can you believe that? I probably owe them ten grand for just saying that outloud."

This kid probably banged out ten Red Bulls before he got the nerve to talk to her. This is a 'moment' for him. "But, this is all the information I got.. I guess it wasn't technically a 'big deal' in the history of time and it's like a weird wikipedia cliffnote. But, yeah.. one of the most strongest superheroes in the world that's captured is a big deal for /our/ time. So.. you know.. figured I'd .. hit up Superman first since they're best friends."

"By the way, if you ever wanna know what future Real Housewives of Krypton looks like, I got that downloaded from syndication."

Lois Lane has posed:
Lois Lane nods, "Yeah, I figured as much...er.." And then he leaps into another extremely looooong life story of his ancestry. Or something. Loise tries hard not to fall asleep. Or laugh. Too much. There is definitely a very amused smirk on her face though and she tries to nod every so often to show she really is listening.

"Uh huh. I see. Um...that's very..Uh...Interesting.." good grief, this guy babbles a LOT! "Um...Can I get you something to drink? I have...Very relaxing Camomile tea.." with any luck it might just calm him down a bit. Or drop him to sleep. Though that's probably unlikely. And then she'd have to drag him out of her office. Which would be awkward.

"Indeed it is..." she grimaces, "Someone with the power to capture Wonder Woman would have to be very powerful indeed. And if you are able to get at least some information about this isldand with the Japanese gods that she was kidnapped, please do share with me.."

Really, this is a very *serious* situation, but its hard to keep her face straight dealing with this. Weirdo.

Slipstream has posed:
"I was thinking more like Supes can roll up there and flex on her, or him. Whoever it is. Apply pressure and squeeze the info out. I can keep digging about if I can, but I don't know how much I can get. I dedicated a whole day to this research and all I got was the index card. Not even any holovids. I don't know much 'bout Japanese Gods. I only know Thor. He and I went drinking once. Holy crap, that dude is like a garbage disposal of alcohol. I probably shoulda died that day."

Drake tucks his data pad back into his jacket pocket, then goes about twisting the flight ring about on his finger almost nervously. Yes, he /is/ a babbler. "But it's pretty serious and I'd get my team involved if they weren't already sorta disposed at the moment. Also, you know.. I don't wanna screw up the timeline by throwing too many butterflies into the ocean. It's why I don't space Google myself. That and they locked my file so I couldn't. I'm /really/ hoping I don't become a bad guy."

He opens his mouth as if he was about to say something. It's probably huge and important, but instead he eases back into the chair and clears his throat. ".. But, uh.. thank you for your time, Lois." He says as he tilts his head at her a bit, giving her a crooked grin. ".. It was really cool to meet you, you know.. outside of the battle field."

Lois Lane has posed:
Lois Lane nods, "I can imagine it's pretty tricky keeping your timelines straight for sure." she is pretty short and to the point, way calmer than flubber lips over there. *ahem*

"...Thor is a Norse god, actually. I guess I will have to do my research, find out something more about this island if we are to have any hope of rescuing the real Wonder Woman. And yes, I will be sure to tell Superman next time I see him." It's not like she has a Super signal like they do for Batman, but that would be useful.

"Oh yes, by the way, I would like to thank you and the others for helping me to rescue Superman. I am putting on a little Barbeque get together on Monday." she smiles, "I hope you can come. I'm sure Superman will be there too, then we can talk to him if I'm unable to contact him sooner. And thank you, for telling me about Wonder Woman..Hopefully we can stop this thing before it gets too serious."

Slipstream has posed:
"Oh! It was no problem. Supergirl and I are best friends. Even got the two way communicator." Drake says as he holds up his wrist to show off a pair of bracelets. One looks overly complicated with LED readouts and it's glowing green. "Not that one, this one keeps me alive. If I lose it, I die. Like, I explode and your janitor would be pissed. The other one." He taps the second one which has a Supes symbol on it. "I'm her Jimmy Olsen she told me once."

"But, I mean, helping save Superman? Who wouldn't want their name in /that/ record, right? You know how hard it is to keep a secret when all of that drama was going down about him dying? Eesh. The amount of weight us Legionnaires have on our shoulders is heavy."

"Oh, I derailed. Anyways, she asked me and Lar Gand to help her out and of course I was gonna say yes. She could tell me to jump off a mountain and I'd probably do it. I'm just that kinda dude." Popping up to his feet, he gives himself a long stretch of his body, popping a few joints.

"I should get going though. But, thank you for hearing me out. I'm still tripping that I'm talking to /the/ Lois Lane. Man... "

".. you are /such/ a big deal." He hints with an impish smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
