You know I’m down to hang, man. Just let me know when you need time. I gotta balance it all with the diner. Back down to mostly only me working it and it’s a lot of weight.
You seen this city, Keith? Shit breaks when sonic booms happen locally. Back home they don’t tend to happen around me because something about my powers or whatever. But here? I don’t wanna risk bringing a building down or something.
[Okay, banter about speed aside... that was actually a really neat trick.]
Really? You can go that fast without creating a boom?
[As a fighter pilot, Keith had definitely pushed various ships that fast if they could handle it, so he knew all about it, honestly, but the idea of someone having the power to go that fast on their own, and do it without the potential damage was just really cool.]
[It really fucking was the best trick that anyone could have if you asked TOmmy.]
Yeah, I can. Usually. I mean, I can make a boom if I want, explosions or otherwise. But there’s something about my powers that sorta just reduces friction enough to prevent that. Sonic booms is just what happens when super compressing air in front of something moving quickly, right?
Not necessarily the air Its related to the actual sound of the aircraft and the fact that it moves past its own sound But it is compressing the soundwaves together and creating pressure from that Usually theres two booms One when the initial compression reaches you And one after it passes and the pressure around you returns to normal
[Okay, pilot nerd showing. Having been trained as a space fighter pilot, Keith actually did know something about sonic booms. He usually tried to keep that nerd part of himself under wraps.]
Huh, weird shit. Also, nerd. But yeah, things like that don't happen to me much. And really speedsters don't tend to talk at full speeds, because what's the point? We out run our sound. No point in talking unless you're angling it behind you or something. So we don't try.
