WALLY

DUDE

WALLY DUDE DID YOU SEE???????????

GRAMPS GOT PORTED IN

i mean hes not yknow from our world i mean im pretty sure he isnt he doesnt look like he could be a younger version of him but DUDE!!!!

[Guess who's literally the most excited.

Sorry Wally.]

uh i saw that a guy named barry allen who doesnt look or act anything like the barry allen we know showed up soooooo

is that who youre talking about

[SORRY LIL BRO. here to be your buzzkill is wally bitterbottoms west]

Yup. I'm lookin' at it right now, in fact. Gonna make like Elton John and burn out my fuse up there alone.

[negatory his ship is still lost and he's freakin out about it]

de chima just packing up the last of our crap

whats this
oh noooooo oh no im packing up the chips
oh no theyll get SO DAMAGED in the move if only someone could eat them

i guess itll have to be me just me

well yeah but its still a version of him and he knows grandma so it really is A flash even if its not from our world

i dunno its pretty crash you think he knows anything about us?? or you i mean me being from the future is kinda universal

[Your buzzkill ain't gonna bring him down]

WHAT NO

[And just like that, Bart's pocketing his comm and launching into a sprint. An actual sprint, too. One where his legs are burning and breath's coming short as he vibrates the best he can through the backs of cars, the sides of buildings, beelining towards Virginia and only swerving to avoid moving through people.

He doesn't actually know how fast he's going or how long it takes, but eventually he's zipping up the wall of Wally's place, gritting his teeth as he lurches himself forward and cuts the speed in order to vibrate through the wall on the outside aaaaaaaaand that was actually a mistake since he's sort of overbalancing, yelping, vibrating through the floor to thump into the apartment below theirs, before trying this all again from the front door.

This time he's coming to a stop out of breath and hair blown back, leaning forward on his knees for a second as he tries to keep gulping down oxygen.

You better still have those chips, Wally West.]

Look son, I don't know who you think you are but I'd cut down on the sarcasm and try to be more polite if I were you.

Especially if you don't really have a ship but need help finding it.

who cares he probably doesnt even know anything

so? no one knew about me before i got to the past and i mean even here you and blue didnt know me

[Crinkle. Just opened the bag. Don't worry, this one is sour cream and onion, this one is his. Though he's pretty impressed with how quick Bart just got here; that's fast. Like that is goddamn fast. He should've time it. With a picosecond watch.]

I wonder if you're that serious about other stuff, or if chips are just your crack. Your personal motivator. Here. [He tosses a bag of white cheddar popcorn at Bart's head.]

NO, I DO NOT WANT YOUR HELP. HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS CONVERSATION AT ALL- okay I'm not responding anymore, I'm busy. Be aware of this. Goodbye, annoyingly helpful stranger.

thats different you still knew US

you wanna go get buddy buddy with him then sure whatever your prerogative
i dont have time im busy

well yeah and we know him i mean at least a little he cant be TOO different

it could be totally crash wally you should talk to him

[No offense to your grumpiness, KF, but Bart's not gonna just let you cut out alternate universe family. He will pout and give puppy dog eyes and arrange all the secretly set-up family runs.]

no i dont wanna

but its the FLASH

HE DOESNT COUNT AND I DONT WANT TO

GO AWAY

UGGGHHH fine ill go hang out with gramps then

but yknow he seems really nice

yeah so do like farm animals and sunshine

doesnt mean im gonna call any of them uncle barry [wally that doesn't even make any sense]

dude hes a barry allen in some universe and he knows grandma iris and he can run

probably

i mean i think he can run thats pretty universe consistent right i mean other versions of me can run and i bet other versions of you can too and like in blues universe theres still a bart whos barrys grandson and a wally whos his nephew

like either way were all family right?

NO

HES STUPID AND SCRAWNY AND HES NEVER HELPED ME BUILD A SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT I DONT CARE ABOUT HIM LEAVE ME ALONE
