[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.]

[kid_flash_found]

That's the one, yep.

[commanderspecs]

I've met Mr. Garrick already.

[He snorts and guffaws a little]

He calls himself Savitar.

[kid_flash_found]

There are worse things he could call himself. Maybe.

[commanderspecs]

Such as?

[kid_flash_found]

Back home there's a guy that goes by Booster Gold. And let's not forget Plastic Man, either.

[commanderspecs]

...metas?

[kid_flash_found]

I think Plas is, not sure about Booster.

[commanderspecs]

The Accelerator explosion hit all the way out here? Wherever here is too?

[kid_flash_found]

Accelerator? What explosion do you mean?

[commanderspecs]

The...Particle Accelerator? STAR Labs? It exploded about a year and a half ago.

[kid_flash_found]

Um, different Earth, remember? They're more of a think tank than anything.

[commanderspecs]

You didn't mention you were from a different Earth. Are you...are you from the same one as the scarred version of...me?

[kid_flash_found]

No, I'm not sure which one it would be from here. Or even if it still exists.

[commanderspecs]

Why would it not exist anymore?

[kid_flash_found]

You wouldn't believe me.

[commanderspecs]

There's a lot that's happened already that I would not, and still cannot, believe.

[kid_flash_found]

So no sense adding more, right?

[commanderspecs]

...there's going to be more, isn't there? There's going to be more because I saw vikings run by earlier!

[He's freaking out! And already, there's small currents that seem to appear on his person. Barry sees this and tries to calm down]

And that! That keeps happening! How did that happen?!

[kid_flash_found]

Um, apparently one of the side-effects of being brought here can be spontaneous generation of meta-powers?

I don't get it.

[commanderspecs]

[He swallows thickly]

I'm--I'm a meta now?

[kid_flash_found]

Possibly? Look, being meta isn't like a recipe for instant criminal psychopathy. Not everyone goes 'Hey, I've got superpowers, I should go on a killing spree.'

[commanderspecs]

Back home, a lot tend to do so.

[kid_flash_found]

Powers don't change people, they just...refine traits that might already be there.

[commanderspecs]

That...oh my gosh, that means that Central City is a lot more crime ridden than I thought.

[kid_flash_found]

Or the people you meet are the ones who choose to use their powers for personal gain. Not the ones who try to just live normal lives.
