Wally flushed slightly under the stare, but glared back without flinching. He'd gotten into eye-balling matches with Batman, so Marcus wasn't even close to intimidating him. He broke off at the question, blinking in confusion. "Central City, where else? You know, sister-city to Keystone?"
He took another rapid gulp of soup to hide his shock when Marcus continued. He didn't know what was more surprising though, that Marcus seemed to have guessed his secret straight away or that there might be another speedster out there somewhere. Wally had never met anyone with powers quite like his. Sure, Supes could move when he wanted to but he wasn't anywhere near Wally's top speeds. No one was.
"No, I, uh, just have a dietary condition. Means I have to eat more to get the same amount of nutrition," he said, hoping that Marcus would just accept that and leave him alone. It looked like he'd have to forget about that third helping though, if he didn't want to raise suspicion. "Paragon. Never heard of it. What's it like?" he asked, trying to sound enthusiastic. Anything to get the topic away from Wally-having-powers.
