text YOU TRIED SO HARD. at least it was close tho.

[tardily]

[ ...

Well at least that leaves no doubt that you're his grandspawn, Bart. It's an Allen trait to run into things. ]

yw. better explanation later. no buts.

[ And that's all he wrote but of all the things to take to easily, acting like an actual grandpa or dad should not be one of them. ]

text about 30 mins later

[moded]

were clear
kf thinks its a false alarm but i dunno

text about a minute later

[tardily]

could be. but why would your teammate give you a false alarm lead unless they didn't know either.

i didn't find anything though, and i double checked.

[moded]

he didnt wanna leave the guy to check and dude three speedsters we can totally search faster than anyone
kinda glad the guy was lying tho

text i nearly typed bart as bath. oi.

[tardily]

three anyone's could search faster than just one anyone. simple math, bart.

so am i. even if tbh pretty sure most villain plots start with the misdirecting lie.

[moded]

well yeah but its also three flashes man imagine if jay was here i mean hes super slow now cause hes so old
uh
that is if you have a jay do you have a jay???

and oh yeah dude tooooooootally they do misdirection a lot like there was this one time we had to break into a farm to find out they were putting mind control in soft drinks but it was super legit too cause they were doing food production a lot of people liked

[tardily]

...IS THAT THE FIRST FLASH THAT ONE GUY WAS TALKING ABOUT?

[ barry. that is a dumb question and you know it is of course jay probably is. ]

we don't have a jay. at least as far as i know? he could be hiding out and just not want to talk to me. it's just me with the superspeed and all the other metahumans with their powers. i mean i've got my team but they're all powerless. well not so much caitlin any more but that's more of a being here thing than an at home thing.

a farm. seriously? who does their villain plot in a farm? sure you don't expect it because farms are wholesome but it's also a farm.

[moded]

yeah it goes jay you wally and me now i guess

[Bart Allen stop writing off your Kid Flash-ness.]

thats so weird so is it just you guys doing hero stuff cause back home we have like 100 superheroes or something and thats just the adults theres like 14 kids on the team kinda

[At the very least, there's an easy answer to the whole farm thing]

lex luthor but i think thats just a superman thing
kinda like how the joker is a batman thing

[tardily]

a whole flash family. sounds pretty cool. even if you went for impulse with your name.

[ See also: flash namesake traitor. :| Can he just flash forward to when he gets all that too? That sounds like an A+ idea. ]

well. there is one other person. okay technically i guess they count as two? i'm not allowed to talk about that one. but, yeah other than that it's just us. unless they're all just not talking to us. the whole being the flash is new so maybe they just haven't decided to get in touch. 100 sounds like a bit much. all over the world right? not just in the us.

[ The US isn't that bad, right? Like it's not perfect but he'd know if it was something that needed 100+ superheroes. though lex luthor and the joker. and he thought his villain's names were bad. ]

lol.

[ Sorry no that's not the entire response. ]

and both of those things just like farms. i don't want to jinx myself, but man i'm glad i haven't had to deal with any of those yet. the mist was bad enough. not sure i want to deal with farmer metahumans.
