he's beauty he's grace he'll fall right on his face.

Barry Allen
Hey! You've reached Barry Allen. I'm not available to take your call right now because of— a reason. Leave a message or just text me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. BEEP.

The Flash
This is The Flash. Not Kid Flash or Impulse. The Flash. I can't text and run. I'll get back to you ASAP and you know that's pretty fast coming from me. BEEP.

But you're part of my family too. You're one of my best friends. It's just been complicated and I didn't know how to bring it up. Just like I didn't know how to bring up...the Wally here.

Don't apologize. Seriously, Cait, don't.

You're one of my best friends too, Barry. And you're my family, you and Cisco. I understand things being complicated and you don't have to tell me everything. I guess I'm just a little homesick. I'm so used to you, Cisco, and me seeing each other every day, or pretty much every day. I guess I miss that.

I take it the Wally here isn't the Wally we know back home.

You're...not the only one. I wasn't kidding when I said I missed you when you first got here. It's been almost been a year and half here for me and I had to bond with who I could so I didn't go stircrazy from only having Eobard from home here or just Cisco and him. You want me to run over right now? I can. Bring take out and everything. Maybe make a mean pillow fort if you're up for that not adult act.

Nope. Still...pretty good though. And his Iris' nephew, I think? Because I'm his uncle. Or other me is. He replicated how I got my powers, it was so dumb but I mean he has them at home too so.

Or I could come over there? Either way, I do want to see you. And I need to make more of an effort to not ... hide in my apartment because I'm trying to avoid what this power does to me. Big yes, to the pillow fort and not being an adult thing.

Wow. So that means the Iris on his Earth has a brother (or a sister), like our Iris.

Replicated? He set off a dark matter wave, doused himself in chemicals used during fingerprint analysis, and got struck by lightning?

Best of both worlds, I come pick you up and we run back to my place? Or we can casually walk, but that might take a little longer.

Yep, which makes the whole naming thing weird, but I don't even entirely want to know.

Well. Not the dark matter wave bit? But the other bits, yeah. Had the right chemicals and then he got struck by lightning.

We don't have to walk. It's been a while since you've literally picked me up and sped me somewhere.

Well, is Wally or Wallace a family thing in Iris's family?

That's crazy. Not crazy. But, astonishing? I was always under the presumption it was the dark matter that was the catalyst for your abilities.

:D Be there in a bit then, okay? Prepare yourself for the speeding away.

I don't think so? But I never asked Joe about it because it didn't seem important.

Apparently it was the lightning. Or at least it is in Wally's world. It's entirely possible it's true in our case.

Ready when you are.

It was just a thought. With two relatives of Iris named Wally, but for them to be different relatives.

Why do I have the feeling our world, our corner of the multiverse, is the outlier?

Be there in a Flash. :D

It could be possible. I mean if I could remember things from here when I get ported out, I'd ask him. Honestly. Maybe I should figure out a way to make that happen.

Because you're deciding that you need to be a scientist about it and signs do kind of point in that direction. We do have me and Oliver and all the pieces just not maybe in the right order? It's like the Star Trek movies, you mess something up, everything goes out of whack.

You like saying that a little too much.

That's still so strange to me, that we won't remember things here if/when we leave. Like, we would forget seeing Eddie again.

I need to be a scientist about everything, Barry. You've been here longer, you've talked to more people from similar worlds. What else are we missing back home?

You can't tell me you wouldn't do it too if you had the chance.

It's...I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the nanites, honestly. Or the trauma from being ported in? not that there's trauma involved but you know what I mean.

You really want to know?

Well, having the last name Snow and being subjected to snow/cold/winter jokes and puns my whole life, I might not.

Like, what, dimensional shock?

I do. I've heard about the Justice League? From M and Karen, but didn't get many details.

But the Flash joke is funny.

Something like that. I mean, it doesn't explain why speedsters like me experience it too but you know. It's the closest explanation I can see.

That's one of them. The JL is supposed to be me, Oliver, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. I think Laurel might also be a part of it, but I'm a little less sure about that. Superman's from Metropolois, Bat from Gotham, Wonder Woman from ??? and Green Lantern is supposed to be from Coast City. He's actually...you remember that pilot who disappeared from Ferris Air a while back?

Yes, but you have to be careful about going to that well too often.

If only there was some way I could study it.

That was Hal Jordan, I think? I think Laurel is part of it, yeah. Karen asked a few questions when I mentioned her. But Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman - are they here, have you met any of them?

I don't think there is a too often.

There might be. But it'd be pretty risk.

He likes keeping his secret ID a secret. Don't spread that around. I've met Batman before, but he's gone I think and...I think Superman just came back. He's so cool. I am such a fanboy it's not even funny. Same with Wonder Woman but that's mostly because people keep saying she's really cool and all. I've never actually met her.

I think you've been around just Cisco too long.

Then maybe there really isn't a way to study it.

My lips are sealed. What makes Superman so cool?

I was like this before I met you guys.

Or we just have to find a way to make it work.

Let's start with the whole alien thing. And the fact that he has super strength and speed and he gave me a little plushie and it was really cute. I still have it! Also he's just been doing the hero thing for longer.

And I wouldn't have you any other way.

I am open to suggestions.

Wait. Alien? Superman is an alien? Then is it really fair for him to call himself Superman? And you can't compare length of tenure as a hero, Barry. Our world is just starting out on this path.

Give me time to think of some.

It is because he's lived on Earth his whole life. Alien or not he's pretty Earth-y. He's Superman. A humanoid who is super. And I can when I'm pretty sure he has decades on me. He's like a Yoda.

Let me know.

Yoda, huh? Does that mean he's going to ride on your back while you run around a swamp? And I still say you can't compare it, because he's probably had his powers his whole life. Whereas you've had yours about three years?
