So. This is more of a heads up for the West family and Barry Allen but I included the rest of you because he may know versions of you back home and he talks a lot.

So we had a new arrival recently. The redhead? His name is Wally West. In my world he's Barry's sidekick, Iris' nephew, and a speedster. So far things seem pretty similar between my world and his.

My Dinah's already volunteered to keep an eye on him so you don't have to worry about fitting someone you don't know into your lives. Whether you talk to him or not is up to you. I'll let her have this alternate world conversation with him so he'll be aware of you all but know not to push anything.

This is my one adult act for the year. And it's killing me.

[Unfiltered. Added later.]

And acting like an adult really has killed me. Someone come help me make terrible life choices.

For Steve's birthday I thought about throwing him a party. Maybe trying really hard to recreate the feel of a dance hall. But... the fourth of July isn't really the time to try and hold a birthday party. Everyone has their own thing coming.

So... now I'm thinking I'm just going to replace all his underwear with American flag and Captain America ones. That sounds easier and will probably make sure I never pull laundry detail again.

The last time I was in Maine, I got seafood, rug burn, and third degree burns. I'd say not necessarily in that order, but I think that was how it went.

So far, this is proving a little different. The nuns are a nice touch. Not so crazy about how there's no exit sign, but nothing's perfect.

Nice to meet you, Storybrooke.

You know, I get that it sucks to have the big tentpole blockbuster movie flash your life up for everyone.

But I'm having a hard time feeling that sorry for the movie people when us TV people basically get our lives screwed up every week. So, sorry movie folk. It sucks for you too, but TV people, here's to weekly torture fests. Literally, in a few cases here and there.

How often do comics come out? Like monthly, right? I guess your level of fucked up is closer to us, so Jason and other Roy and all, you get included too.

Hey. Let's go get a drink and talk about stuff and things. Like Barry and Ollie and the League. I think I need to make new friends so I don't start making constructs of old ones.

So, I kind of want to go for a run. I mean, I hear there's some other people here who have speed-related abilities, and I kind of want to see how I manage against someone else really fast. I don't get to do that at home because the only other speedster I know is evil. Anyone up for that? Uh...super speed only, please? Anything else is sort of like walking for me, which is beside the point.

joe.

Why am I terrible at everything ever?

iris.

I want to apologize. For how I acted back home. I know it didn't actually happen for us, but I still feel awful about it.

I am in love with you. And that's just a fact. But that's the only part of the situation that is up to me. And that doesn't dictate anything about how you feel.

I never should have taken whatever you may or may not feel for granted. That wasn't fair to you and I was a real jerk. I promise, I am never going to feel entitled to anything from you. We kissed in a timeline that doesn't even exist any more. And maybe that happened there, but I have no expectations about any other timelines. I care about you a lot. But you are my friend first and foremost and that is way more important to me. I respect you and I respect Eddie and I respect your relationship. I hope you know that. I'm not going to mess that up for you. I just want you to be happy, Iris.

I also need to apologize for the way I've acted as the Flash, back home. I took advantage of the fact that you didn't know it was me early on and tried to get between you and Eddie and that was gross and wrong and I'm really sorry. Apparently, I can be a real idiot sometimes. A lot of the time.

I just wanted you to know that.

felicity.

Want to go get coffee?

I could definitely use a new sparring partner. I'm starting to get bored and when I get bored, I apparently start Instagram-ing and posting the pictures here.

( cut for pics )

I'm probably going to post more another time. Ollie, I will get you with a camera. You can't hide forever. Tune in next time for more Sara's Terrible Instagram Adventure, maybe co-starring Oliver Queen.

thea.

So, we should talk.

There are, literally, a thousand other places I'd rather be right now. Why did it have to be Maine?
