How many of you are yourself? How many of you are suddenly disney princes or low-level gangsters?

Do we?

[kid_flash_found]

You want to take the risk if this bubble we're in goes even more unstable?

[vivifier]

I think if that were a danger, Gideon would've said something.

[kid_flash_found]

She's hardly communicative on the best of days.

I don't know if I have anywhere else to go if I'm not here...

[vivifier]

You realize that eventually this place will be repaired, time will be repaired.

[kid_flash_found]

Yeah. It's just...

You know what I mean.

[vivifier]

No. I don't.

[kid_flash_found]

I told him to take the Speed Force, to run. I didn't expect to survive. It was the only way to even try to fix time.

And then I ended up here.

[vivifier]

Bart. You're doing that thing again where you assume that whoever you're talking to knows what the hell you're talking about.

[kid_flash_found]

You don't want to know. I killed them all. All the other speedsters.

[Bart hates how much he doesn't talk about, but he doesn't know where to begin.]

How do you explain any of our lives?

[vivifier]

Could you be less vague, please?

[kid_flash_found]

Would you believe me if I said I was the Speed Force? Or at least, it was contained in me for a while. Half the stuff I've experienced I don't know how to explain without sounding like some kind of mystic mumbo-jumbo.

So when it was in trouble, it used me to reunite all those pieces of itself that reside in the other speedsters. Every single one across time in my world. But it couldn't halt the temporal breakdown I was suffering because of what had happened. I don't know what caused it, I'd been imprisoned by Brainiac when things started.

The Speed Force had the power, but I was just a means to an end. I couldn't have survived long enough to fix things, so it asked me to give the power to someone who could.

I told the Flash to take it and run. To not look back. Because that last transfer wasn't supposed to be anything I could survive, any more than Cobalt Blue or Savitar or Jay or any of the others did.

[vivifier]

So, what, you're the Chosen Speedster. Cute, but I don't buy it.

[kid_flash_found]

I think it was more because I've always been a Speedster. I'm more attuned to it on some levels. Never said it was a good thing. It doesn't care about anything except being used, really.

[vivifier]

Ok. Great.

Not sure what this has to do with what's happening.

[kid_flash_found]

Just that I expect when you guys fix things, I probably won't be around to see it for long. If at all.

So forgive me if I want to try and keep people from rocking the boat. And try to keep people from doing stupid shit when they aren't themselves.

I keep forgetting you're the kind of guy who posts the video, instead.

[vivifier]

Yeah, you're keeping that cuff. Don't think I won't tell Wells.
