Throwing his hands up in a gesture of coming in peace, Barry ensures his face is still a blur. Some people can be pretty cluey, and he's seen all the films on superheroes available on his Earth. The better he hides his identity, the better chance he has of not being identified as the man in red.
It's a little weird to be confronted with someone who doesn't recognise him, but Barry's dealt with this briefly in Kara's world. No one knows the Flash here, and that's all the more motivation for him to make a good name for himself in yet another world. The one Alistair's formed for him is a little off base, and so Barry feels compelled to redirect him into seeing the Flash as less of a Hannibal Lector reincarnated and more of a friend looking out for someone with slower reflexes.
With his vocal cords vibrating, his voice echoes when he says, "I'm not in the business of kidnapping, and I'm not really a one-eyed purple people-eater, but thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind for next time."
Personally, he hopes there isn't a next time. Whatever had driven these two to have a kerfuffle in the library is hopefully going to be shelved. Permanently.
"I'm the Flash," he says, and though he smiles, Alistair can't see it. He can hear the pride in his voice, though, and see it in the way he shrugs sheepishly. Hands still up to show he has no intentions of harming him, Barry stays where he is. "And I took your friend to the pool to cool off. Just thought I'd swing by and make sure you're okay before I go again."
