[How does this happen. How. How. Barry moves out of the way when he sees a stampede of...vikings?! He's standing out on a sidewalk somewhere downtown, not seeing a familiar sight anywhere. At least not like how it is back home. He sends out the all video signal]

Just what the heck is going on here?! Who's Gideon? Where am I?!

[He's hyperventilating or close enough to it, not amused at what is going on, and tries to make sense of it all.]

Particle Acc--were people hurt? Or did they just turn into metahumans?

Both. About a dozen people died that night, but way more than that became metahumans.

[He lets that sink in]

I'm so sorry.

[He genuinely means it as well.]

[He shakes his head.]

A lot of people lost more than me that night.

It still couldn't have been easy.

[The sparks start to die down a little]

For you or anyone that's lost someone that night.

No, it wasn't. But we've all had to find ways to move on from it.

[He nods]

I take it all this isn't part of that incident?

No. No, this is something else.

[Barry huffs a sigh and takes off his glasses, pinching at the bridge of his nose]

Timing couldn't be more perfect, actually.

How's that?

I just bumbled asking Miss West to dinner.

[He winces.]

It was...pretty bad. Last time I ever take direction from Hal Jordan when it comes to women.

[He's seen his Barry do the same thing multiple times, and he always felt badly.]

Not great at talking to women, huh?

Is it that obvious?

It's apparently a problem every Barry Allen has.

Your Barry has problems with that too?

Yeah. Yeah, it's bad.

[He groans a little and covers his face]

Hopefully one version of me outgrew that.

[A laugh.]

Maybe at some point, man.
