I'm so sorry to everyone I've hurt.

I had Mom when she could visit, and Grandma Iris...

It isn't like I was left alone or anything. I had family, they just weren't always blood-relatives.

[Still feels like the Worst Grandpa Ever(tm)]

Blood still needs to look out for you here. And non-blood. And blood shouldn't do to you what I did.

It wasn't the first time. That blood tried to hurt me, I mean. I kinda have an evil twin. Had.

Evil--

Bart, we're going to do what my grandfather did with me. We're going to find some kind of outdoor activity and do that and bond. Hopefully, you won't be pulled over the side of the boat and into the lake if we go fishing.

Can't do that if you're planning on staying in this cell for the rest of your life.

[commanderspecs]

I'll see Harry right away to see if I can maybe get something else to control these powers.

[kid_flash_found]

Another dampener isn't going to teach you how to control things yourself. It's kinda like training wheels.

You don't have to actually go out of your way to do things with your abilities, but if you don't learn what you can do and how to control it, there's going to be that day when things go bad.

[Bart looks saddened just by the thought of that, because if Barry is kicking himself now, how much worse will it be if an accident happens when he shorts out the next dampener or something?]

I could tell you horror stories about my own lack of control when I was younger, but I doubt that would really help.
