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

[ He hates you all right now, really. ]

I'm definitely no more evil than usual. Can't say the same for Sparky. He stuck me with this.

[Bart holds up his wrist with the fused power dampener on it.]

[vivifier]

Unfortunate for you.

[kid_flash_found]

Your sympathy is warming as always.

[vivifier]

You tried to what? Reason with the unreasonable?

[kid_flash_found]

Last guy I knew who got turned evil spent months hiding on a farm in Kansas afterwards. You think that he's going to handle it any better when whatever happened ends?

[vivifier]

I think no one can leave LA.

And also that's not what I asked.

[kid_flash_found]

I just tried to talk to him.

[vivifier]

And said what?

[kid_flash_found]

What does it matter?

[vivifier]

He not only put a dampener on your wrist but he welded it shut so that none of us could actually remove it, essentially burying you alive outside the speed force. Why wouldn't it matter? You're not an idiot, stop pretending these things aren't important.

[kid_flash_found]

Because I said I would stop him if I had to. He could have stopped my heart or something just as easily. And we still need to do just that. Keep him contained until things go back to normal.

[vivifier]

You're what, seven? Twelve? How were you planning on doing that yourself?

[kid_flash_found]

I've been doing this kind of thing my whole life. You really going to try to say I'm too young? How long have you actually been around in the real world, Grumps?

[Bart really hates that question, mostly because he can't actually answer the age thing coherently anymore. It's never that simple.]

I wanted to try to talk to him before trying to build some kind of Leyden Jar or whatever to contain him. It wouldn't be impossible for him to take out the entire power grid.

[vivifier]

Oh yes, please. Be smart with the only person who probably could and would take that thing off you. See where it gets you.

[kid_flash_found]

I'm not the one being purposefully insulting.

Didn't Dr. Wells build the things? I can always try hunting him down.

[vivifier]

And you know that he's not messed up?

[kid_flash_found]

How do I know anyone's not messed up?

[vivifier]

Do I seem like I'm about to go singing the glory of love?

[kid_flash_found]

So this particular wave of weirdness passed you by. The question still stands. Descarte's dilemma.

[vivifier]

How?

[kid_flash_found]

Just saying you can't know anything for certain about anything outside oneself. And I'm not the one with megalomaniacal tendencies in this conversation.

[vivifier]

Have fun trying to get that thing off on your own, then.

[kid_flash_found]

Have fun chasing Grandpa Sparky, Grumps. At least, if you want to keep the lights on. He's doing a full bio-electric conversion now.

[vivifier]

Who says I plan on chasing him down? What am I, hero by default now? Barry and Cisco are bad now, you're incapacitated and Frost's off singing with the town rats so I'm the town's only option?

[ Oh god, is he? Well, this town is so screwed. ]

[kid_flash_found]

How the sprock should I know? But I think we all have keeping this place relatively whole in our best interest.

If you want me back in action, well, you could just help.
