Impulse has posed:
Impulse has been working, HARD! Really hard! at least 3 hours a day! Today is one of his harder days. Yesterday he put online orders to fifty different grocery stores, setting them all up for a 1am pickup, payment made via LexPay!. If anyone has been paying attention to the patterns they'll know that at some point between 1am and 3am the various soup kitchens are going to get half a dozen styrofoam coolers the size of a steamer trunk the insides kept cool with dry ice. Then some neighborhood in the city is going to have half a dozen of the houses stripped, rotten wood replaced, and repainted, something the news have been attributing to 'The Scarlet Samaritan'

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake does pay attention to things like this, and spotting the patterns, he would be waiting at the most used store. he expects it is Wally or something but will wait. He has sensors set up a couple miles out to have time to react to the speedster.

Impulse has posed:
1am turns into 115, 115 turn sinto 130.. Finally at almost 2 in the morning Tim's sensors go off and if it's Kid Flash well Wally's been working on leg day, the two mile radius gets tripped, and less than a couple of seconds later there's a flash of blood red and dark gold lightning flashing down the road and up /over/ the chain link fence set around the back of the soup kitchen, the steamer trunk sized cooler left with a note asking to leave the empty cooler out that night for pickup.. Then it's gone again the sensor net tripping again in a different direction. This Soup Kitchen is his last stop on the food drops for the morning, and as such, the grocery stores he's getting his stuff from the furthers away.. It'll take at least 10 minutes round trip for him to get to Oklahoma City and back with the next crate..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will time it to get a puddy pelet down to try to catch the spedster, wanting to find out what he can about him and perhaps talk to him as well.

Impulse has posed:
Impulse returns, the perimeter going off again. Not really paying attention to where he's running other than to make sure he doesn't accidentally hit a light pole or something just as 'immovable' the puddy pellets are missed and go off without a hitch.. "Hurk!?" comes Impulses surprised yelp as he loses his balance and goes tumbling at speed, his suit responding to protect him as fast as the teen speedster he goes skidding across the pavement punching a red hot hole through the chain link fence before coming to a hard stop against the wall of the soup kitchen with a resounding thud..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake will step out of the shadows, and looks over the other young man and says "Well, I don't believe we have met." He leans the wall watching the kid to see his reactions.

Impulse has posed:
Impulse groans the coccoon of white protective material melts away from him, the teen letting out a soft cough. His costume is predominantly white and red, with small gold accents, so definately not Kid Flash. You know.." he coughs and groans taking in a sudden gasp as his suit tightens around his ribs.. "ohh.. cracked three.." he groans the bones quickly nitting.."If you wanted to say high, you could have just stood by my first delivery.. Tripping a guy who's running that's just trying to start a fight." he admonishes.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake winces a bit and says "Sorry about that most of the speedsters I have met are pretty restent to a trip, and such, figured you would be too. So, if I may ask, who are you?

Impulse has posed:
Impulse starts running around, gathering up the spoiled packs of meat, finding what's not ruined and trying to put it back in the destroyed container. "ohh! Call me Zippy!" he says simply "Zippy! That's me!" he says finally taking in the man who tripped him.. "And don't worry about it.. I'm kinda new at this..Are you Robin? Can you answer a question for me? Granpa said Batman's a vampire, but not really a vampire.. So how does that work? Does he really drink the blood of his enemies to keep his supernatural strength, and to help control his undead urges?" he asks curiously..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake studies the other and says "Well Zippy, I am Red Robin, and you have some interesint thoughts on Batman. " He does not confirm or deny them "So why you useing Lexcorp funds to help people Zippy."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse sighs.. "That's what everyone says when I ask them. One of these days I'm gonna meet the batman! Then I'll find out!" he says slamming a fist into his other hands palm. When the Lexcorp funds question is asked he quintuple takes.. "Wha? I'm using my own money.. Well I /guess/ you could say it's other peoples money, but if they leave it in a coin return of a vending machine, it's kinda free game isn't it?" he asks curiously..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake 's brow raises a bit and says "A coin return?" He seems to find this a bit interesting. He crosses his arms and says "Does the flash know your rocking his lightning bolt?"

Impulse has posed:
Impulse nods.. "yeah.. coin returns.. Gideon, give me stats.." he says tilting his head.. "it's estimated that on average 1.2 million dollars in loose change is left behind at places.. vending machines, on the ground, at grocery stores. I take the time to go gather that up a couple of hours a day.. Voila, instant working capitol! take a few minutes to roll it up, deposit it in a bank account attached to my LexPay account, there you go!" he explains "Wouldn't work for just about anyone, and yea Grandpa knows.. it /is/ our family Icon, like the Bat's yours.." he explains..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake loks the kid over, and hmmms a bit to this "I was thinking more the guy in the Red suit, not the guy in the Silver Helmet. " He tells him "So, what made you decide to make gotham your pet project.

Impulse has posed:
Impulse tilts his head.. "Silver helmet?" he says tilting his head the other way, his eyes unfocusing for a moment "ohh! No! Blue Jeans, upside down lightning bolt. That's I guess you could call him my honorary great grandpa. Big reds my gramps, I'm from the future!" he explains with a grin. "Have you /looked/ around you?! Gotham is just... The /DACHSHUND!/" He exclaims. "Crime happening /all/ the time, folks going hungry, cold, hungry /and/ cold I'd start picking up the trash if Gideon hadn't told me I'd over tax your local landfill something fierce.. but then again I'd probably over tax /any/ landfill if I started picking up all the litter folks leave places.. If I knew how, I'd make nanites to clean it all up like in my century, but I'd probably just cause The Grey Goo incident of 2637 to happen five hundred years early or something." he says pouting a bit at that.. "That's what Gideon tells me anyway.." he says grumpily..

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake hmms and sighs a moment, time travel always a fun thing. "Ok, so if your from the future, what.... No don't tell me. " He scratches his chin his chin and says "Well, we do work on keeping the crime down, but helping people is a good thing." He says "And Gideon is?"

Impulse has posed:
Impulse holds out one of his gloved hands, a feminine robotic face appearing as a hologram. "Hello Red Robin, I am Gideon, a 12th level artificial intellect passed down through..Zippy's matriarchal line." The female voice says coming out of the projection. "She's been with me almost since I was born." Impulse explains with a smile. "So, it's nice meeting you and all, but I've got four more boxes to get for this shelter before I go on a coin collecting run. Home depot doesn't open for several more hours so I've gotta wait for them to open before I can place an order for the paint and wood I need for some of the houses I scouted out yesterday." Impulse explains. "If you want to help with the painting I'll be about five blocks that way about ten this morning." he explains.

Red Robin has posed:
Tim Drake looks to the other and says "Sure, Zippy, I will see about being there, and maybe I can bring a little bit of help." He will make sure to get a recording of the young man to file away and possibly send in to see if Flash has ever heard of him. "Just stay out of trouble, Gotham can be a dangerous place."

Impulse has posed:
Impulse rolls his eyes. "Tell me about it, the other night when that big fund raiser was going, Flash and I gave your town a visit, helpped make it a nice and quiet night!" he says, the night in question he and flash caused the police to have to work triple duty all the crime they had stopped. "Nice meeting you Double R!" he says before with a crack of thunder and a flash of crimson and gold lightning he's gone.
