Hiro has -- made himself comfortable. Sure, by doing so he fell asleep in a boothe, but-- still. The guy's had a long (confusing, squee-filled) day. Still, he woke up to the bustling of bar and began to stumble about, realizing:

He has only the vaguest idea of where he is.
He has no idea how to leave, because he can't seem to find a door out that doesn't lead to SCOTLAND, or it's equivalent.
He needs a shower.
He's famished and this place has the best waffles on God's green earth-- or, well, the multiverse.

He's decided to pursue problem 4 -- one and two will sort themselves out but waffles wait for no one. No one.

Though, he does wish Ando were here. It's probably make communication easier. His english drastically improved... what with six months with his prettier teacher... but... Miscommunication is bound to happen. Ando would fix that. Ando's English is EXCELLENT. (Because of the American porn!)

For now? Waffles.

[Back room canon post applies; will be wrapping up slowtimes on other thread... if you have a thread there unfinished, please don't tag here. Everybody seems to want a little Hirolove, so take turns, plz! Love!]

This one was likely familiar, and he didn't mind the fanboying. And anyway, his best friend was being considered god of geeks anyway. Also? Would have a lot in common with Ando, especially a few years ago.

Peter eyed the new arrival. Or newer than most.

"Just found the door here, huh?"

Hiro pauses, glass of milk halfway to his mouth.

There is a long pause.

And then the glass is practically LAUNCHED behind him as he goes, "DOCTAH VENKMAHN!"

OH MY GOD HE'S DIED ON THE BUS AND GONE TO GEEK HEAVEN.

Peter seemed to chuckle at the enthusiasm, "Down, boy. That's my name, chief. Guessing you either met Ray already or saw the movie?"

"...Movie! Comic books!" He blurts, and then looks a little ashamed. Ahem. He should not rampantly fanboy. He should be good. "I'm Hiro! Hiro Nakamura!"

"Oh yeah, I think Ray said something. I swear one of these days, I'm paying a visit to those worlds and demanding our cut of the royalties. Bring Ray and especially Egon along. Should convince them." As in, yes, Hiro, there's THREE of the illustrious Ghostbusters here. Only the later fourth, Winston has the better sense to avoid the bar at the end of the universe.

Peter held out his hand to shake, "Nice to meet you, Hiro. You just get in?"

Winston alway was the sensible one.

"Yes! Yesterday? I think?" He shrugs. "It is very confusing." He frowns a little, and then says, "The door is gone. Is-- it supposed to go away? I have to get back!"

Oh yeah, Peter's Winston took one look at the place, went hell no basically, and shut the door.

Peter grimaced at that, "It does sometimes. Sorry, that means you're Bound. Landlord or Landlady decided you need a vacation. Don't worry though, time tends to freeze back in your world when it happens."

"Time freeze?" Well, at least he's used to that. "So-- time stops-- here? Outside-- the flow?"

"You got it. It freezes so you can pick up where you left off when you can go back. Usually how it works."

"Ooh." That's good! He does not need to have an anuerism! He can go right back and resume his mission!

"Yup," Peter nodded, "Feel better then?"

Hiro nods thoughtfully. "Yes. Much better. Not so much -- worry," he says. "Ando will be okay. World be okay. Gotta save the world..."

But hey, a time-stopped vacation could be nice.

"Whoa there. The world? What's wrong with your world?" Peter's expression immediately sharpened at that.

"...we don't know. But myself from the futuah -- he came and gave us a message! Save the cheerleader, save the world!" And he says this with the utmost seriousness-- a complete straight face.

Peter blinked once, twice....

"...That's got to be one of the lamest messages I ever heard."

He added, "I like cheerleaders as much as any redblooded American straight guy, but what the heck do they have to do with the world?"

Hiro shrugs, though he looks a titch defensive. After all; his future self sent that message! "We will find out! She is probably very special!" Just like Hiro is!

Peter sharpened his focus on Hiro, "What kind of special? Besides a version of you be-bopping through time that is? Psychic special, paranormal, magic, what?"

"Supaa powah!" Hiro exclaims. THAT sort of special! ... are there other sorts of special he should worry about?

"As in superheroes? You got one of those kind of worlds, huh?"

Hiro nods energetically. "Met man who could fly. WHOOSH!" He makes the motion with his arm, and sighs.

He wants to be able to fly too!

Peter shrugged. Between busts, and coming to Milliways for two years now, he took a lot of weird things for granted now. A lot seemed old hat.

"Yeah? Him, and about a good percentage of people around here. And by your reaction, guessing time travel and flying's not that common?"

Hiro shakes his head quietly. "Only met-- two," he says quietly. Two happy little people who have powers! SPECIAL people.

"Yeah? They fly too, or shoot lasers from their eyes?"

Peter added, "If there's a couple of you, there's probably more. Usually how it goes. Weird likes a big room."

"Big room?" he does not grasp that particular euphismism. Blinking, he shrugs. He hopes there are more! two heroes among billions would be crazy!

Peter then explained, "I mean, usually it's not just one spot. I think there's probably more. A lot more with powers out there."
