Barry Allen.

It makes sense to me now. I know that everything that happened, everything that I had to go through… it was for a reason. It made me who I am.

@OfHyperspeed —who he really needed but I didn’t and I’m not making that mistake again. Stick with them until this is over. Lean on them, /talk/ to them, okay? I promise I’ll keep you updated on anything I find. You just have to trust me.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —closest to.

The only way he can do this job though is by staying focused on the task at hand and teaching Bart to lock away his feeling isn’t something he wants to instill in him like a certain pointy eared acquaintance. “I should’ve pushed him more at his friends. That’s —

“Life is a locomotive—and if you’re not running you’re getting run /over/apparently.”

“Cake at the watch tower for Diana’s birthday. The good news, it’s ice cream. The bad news, it might melt before she gets here.”

“Sometimes I worry if I don’t limit myself when it comes to food I’d never stop eating.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —of it all, “But I can’t do it with /you/ there. I just can’t. I won’t.

Whoever did this is still out there and when we find them I don’t want you anywhere near them.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed “You’re right, I don’t trust you. Not like this. I don’t even trust myself right now but I /sent/ Wally there. I sent him there to get help and he died because of it so I have to do this for him.” His voice rose, red gloves hands coming up to cover his face. Masking the shame —

“Not everyone left. The Trinity stayed behind along with a handful of others so the Earth isn’t totally defenseless.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

“Coming from the signature speed demon of the group are you really surprised?”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —are this /has/ to remain a closed investigation. It’s way too important. I’m sorry.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed He so badly wants to but his answer is most likely the last thing the smaller speedster wants to hear, “I can’t, Bart.

What happened to Wally... also happened to a bunch of other people too. Everyone is connected to what happened at Sanctuary in some way and as close as they —

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —we... don’t know who.

Me and Bats are still trying to put the pieces together but we /will/ find out what happened and whoever did this is gonna go away for it. I promise.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed He’s taken a little a back by the sudden embrace but the other needs comfort and frankly he could use a little bit of that too so he hugs him back in an attempt to hold him together, “There’s nothing /to/ do, Bart. At least not for you, someone is to blame for all of this but —

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@HopeManifested —of dust in that house I’m gonna put him away.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

“Christ, this is gonna break this poor kid’s heart.”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@HopeManifested “Preferably before we lose anymore people.” He says somewhat bitterly, “I still think Booster is responsible. In some way he had a hand in this and the fact he’s still out there... hell, him and Harley both. I’m gonna find the proof, even if I have to check every speck —

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —Bart. He’s gone a-and he isn’t coming back this time. I wish I was wrong but I’m not...”

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed Some things just shouldn’t be rushed, nice things like talking to a pretty girl or petting a dog. Where as other things, important things like this, can’t be. No matter how badly he wants to press the fast forward button on this heartbreak. “I wish I was, but it’s—it’s true, —

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —comfort him...

[Barry Allen. @BackInABlur]

@OfHyperspeed —first thing Bart is gonna wanna do is /run/. To find Wally and hug him.

Part of him is glad Bart won’t get the chance. If only to protect him from what he saw at sanctuary.

Now all he has is an empty house, an unsolved mystery and a Flash that doesn’t know /how/ to —
