The Story:



( BARRY ▍when you feel like giving in, I'll believe )

[ february finds barry trying to figure out the details of the multiverse. wonderland is so far from whatever end central city might be at. it's not even earth and trying to calculate how it draws people from various multiverses is a mathematical equation that becomes so complicated he wishes he could ask cisco or professor stein.

he doesn't think of eboard thawne.

you might find barry in the library, surrounded by books of math and physics, hunching over endless calculations. it doesn't help that there aren't laptops.

other times, he'll be in the kitchen or in the diner, this time surrounded by various junk food boxes, be it burgers, pies or tacos.

remember the whole need-to-eat-about-850-tacos-to-get-through-a-day-as-the-flash? no? well it's definitely happening. he thinks the closet is pretty cruel for giving him normal granola bars instead if the Cisco'ed ones it gave him up until this week. one, because they're pretty useless two because granola bars suck.

you're welcome to join him and...grab a burger out of the five already on the table. ]

( THE FLASH ▍so lift your head high and don't give in)

[ it doesn't matter where you are, really. you could be on the roof or outside, you could be looking out the window of your room when you see it. it might look like a lightening or perhaps a flash of red but it'll be gone in less than a blink.

surely you imagined it, right? but you might come to see this red streak of lightening more and more the following days, there one moment and gone before you have the chance to squint your eyes. try to take pictures of it and catch a blur, try using any sort of binoculars and get the same result, a red blur.

those who wish to try and see it with their own eyes might have to try and guess which direction it was headed. usually it would be the beach or the forest. you might have tried walking in the same direction, got to the outskirts of the forest or to the edges of the beach when suddenly, it'll be just behind you.

and it'll be standing still. it'll appear to be a man in red but look upon it and he'll look like a blur, vibrating much too fast for a clear image.

but it is certainly a man and his voice sounds blurry too, deep and unfamiliar, masked by the quick vibrations of vocal chords. ]

You shouldn't be following me.

Comments

[actualwizard]

[Meta-human, mutant, mostly the same thing...kinda. ]

True, its a giant cage they have us stuck in.

[He knew how trapped Tommy had felt both times he was here. ]

My twin brother is a speedster, so is my uncle.

[accelero]

you're from a family of meta-humans?

[ he shouldn't be this surprised. there are all sorts of worlds across the multiverse and he has met other speedsters except for himself. sure, two of the three are anything but good news but the fact the guy doesn't seem hostile can at least point out that those in his family are ]

what about you?

[actualwizard]

Mets-humans? Is that what you call them? In my world we're called mutants. I like meta-human better.

[Less derogatory sounding.]

I'm...sorta of, yeah. Usually the x-gene is genetic, but not always. [And he's not about to confuse Barry with magic soul twin babies]

Me? I...can manipulate reality. It's more closely associated with magic.

[accelero]

Metas, yes, I've never met anyone who called us 'mutants'.

[ though raven said she's a mutant, barry insisted to call her a 'meta'. mutants sounds -- much too alien. the reason he likes the term meta-humans is the emphasis on the fact that in the end, they are all of them still human beings. ]

I never thought this could be genetic. So your brother was born a meta? and so were you?

[actualwizard]

So it's not genetic in your world?

[Which wasn't entirely strange, plenty of super powered people weren't mutants.]

Yeah. If you have the "X Gene" in my world then your powers can manifest around your teenage years. Sometimes earlier and sometimes later. Though not everyone who has powers is a mutant. Some people were experimented on, some are aliens...
