	I think the uncertainty probably adds another layer of... angst? Probably some time to get everyone used to the new normal again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not really. I'm not friends with many people here, Gwen and Freddy I guess. The kids suite or whatever we are, doesn't seem to have been hit in this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now I just know it's going to be a recurring trope where I say 'I didn't know [insert this]' about you. You're really in the kid's suite? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm an international teenager of mystery. But yeah, I'm with the others without guardians or whatever. There's like ten of us? Maybe more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Should I tell you that I blow up? [Barry] Seriously? I mean the suite isn't bad, it's nice, there's a bunch of us. ~~But it feels like~~ I wouldn't wanna like put anyone in a weird spot. I mean. If you're y'know, just being nice or whatever, it's really okay. Unless you're not. I'm rambling, I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Should I be more fazed? I feel like I should be more fazed. But I knew someone who could touch things and make them blow up.

[Ellie]
Little known fact: I wouldn't offer unless I was being serious. I don't know why everybody always thinks I'm not being serious? 'I'm a villain, Barry, we can't be friends. But you're like a person too, so why can't we be friends? You do your thing, I do my thing while I try not to sigh at you too much, is that too much to ask for?' Is it because I'm [...] me? I'm a rambler too! I understand rambling to fill the awkward silence, which is probably even more awkward because we're just talking to a screen right now and there's nothing else to distract us, but I am being totally serious.

Unless you're not down. Because that is totally fine too!

	Not being fazed tends to mean people are used to it. Only a few things are really dangerous for me though. [Barry] Flow of consciousness feels easier text wise right. But um, I mean I would really appreciate that. I mean the guys are all cool, there are but... Feels like foster care sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've just seen a lot people of powers over the past five years. Someone who could manipulate luck. Someone who could induce vertigo, and there was some guy who traveled through mirrors. We should talk about it over burgers. Did I mention I can eat a lot?

[Ellie]
I try to curb it, because there's already a whole city out there in the multiverse who thinks Barry Allen is a nerd who can't stop rambling and I should probably stop talking about myself in the third person?

Hey, I was almost a foster care kid? I was lucky. Joe took me in after my mom was murdered. Everybody should get a Joe. To clarify, I'm not Joe.

That sounds a lot like my school. So you have mutants in your work too?

I wouldn’t mind hearing about it I’ve birders, or whatever really. Food is food.

[Barry]
Yeah, I know some people who take it a bit far, but you’re not even the top three in weird habits that I’ve seen so don’t worry too much about it.

No, you’re Barry. I get it. I narrowly avoided full foster care when I went to boarding school. I liked it, that’s where all the others like me are.

But I really wouldn’t be opposed to having a guardian. Or specifically if you wanted to be my guardian. Thanks

I'm not sure how to say this without sounding like I'm full of myself, I guess? but I'm one of those vigilante hero types, just minus the gruff and the scars ~~and the body count I guess~~. ~~It's kind of indirectly my fault that there are~~

Awesome.

[Ellie]
Oh well, the evil megalomaniacs I've met do trump even myself, yes. And one of them was actually one of me.

~~Man, I'd have gotten bullied so much in a school like that.~~ For real? I feel like I'd be too nerdy for even a school like that.

As long as you're sure.

Facts and boasting are separate enough that you can usually tell from the tone (I guess in text it's harder). Technically, I'm a trainee vigilante type.

[Barry]
Evil Megalomaniacs like the sound of their own voices though, like the monologues, what's with that?

We have a teacher there who literally created a room that makes holograms we can fight to help test our powers. Nerdy is kind of their thing.

I am yeah, I'd really like if you were my guardian.

I don't think I boast anymore. Not on purpose, anyway!

Ellie]
Honestly, I think they're just trying to kill us through boredom before they're forced to do things the hard way?

Honestly, that's really cool. I didn't even think of training people that way.

For real? For real real? I'll talk to people about getting you moved out of the kid's floor as soon as I can!

Hopefully not about being a vigilante at least. That kind of defeats the point. :) There are other things to boast about.

Like how awesome I am at ping pong. ;D

[Barry]
Probably exactly that. Or the megalomaniac part of them makes them just need to do Bond Villain stuff.

There's a lot of us that have really dangerous powers, and we're teenagers, so they came up with it to help us control them.

For real real. :) I'll pack up the few things I have. I'm excited!

	No, no. I don't think I know anyone who boasts about being a vigilante. I'm not really [...] great at sports? I don't know, I'm a klutz, man. [Ellie] Bullies. They're just grown up bullies. More dangerous than blowing yourself up? High five! I'll talk to people and see about us getting an apartment! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	detonations 2019-09-11 02:27 pm UTC (link)
	I know one guy, but he's crazy. That's the opposite of a boast. [Barry] Basically. I don't even like them when they're my age. Um, Cyclops blasts people with eye beams? Bobby turns to ice? Siryn has a horrifically loud scream that could pierce eardrums or blow up heads? xD xD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leplusrapide 2019-09-11 02:38 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. Ralph might fit into the boastful vigilante category, but he's still new. I usually don't begrudge new metahumans for being boastful. It's all new, you know? [Ellie} I had a school bully turn into a metahuman villain. Not.fun. Siryn? That sounds like the Canaries, although only one of them has the scream for real. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	detonations 2019-09-11 03:05 pm UTC (link)
	Being new to powers is definitely a reason to be ... giddy? [Barry] Oh, that would definitely suck. If my bullies got powers... actually I think they'd just shop more. Her real name is Theresa, but yeah, she has like a sonic scream. She's killer at team sports. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leplusrapide 2019-09-11 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Ralph Dibny is [...] Ralph Dibny. But he's a good guy. [Ellie] You have Mean Girls, huh? Do you have Mean Girls here ? There's the White Canaries and the Black Canaries. Sara Lance was a Canary. She was [...] taken back home by the Entity, I guess? That's the nicest way to put this whole experience, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	detonations 2019-09-11 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like a handful. [Barry] Before my powers, yeah. But I was, and I quote 'weird'. At school here? Yeah, a little mean. I think they're unaware of what Goodland is though? But everyone in the hotel/apartment is really nice. No Yellow Canaries? You lost a friend in all the shuffling then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think we're finally in a good place right now? Or were?

[Ellie]
I was a world class nerd who once blew up the gym during science fair? But I think the general consensus is that everyone who isn't here doesn't know about this place, so [...] no Mean Girls. Let's hope it stays that way.

I think she was a friend, yeah? But we haven't really talked here, but think like [...] epic cross-world team-up. Nazis. Aliens. You probably know how it goes.

Are? It's hard to tell with the whole coming here, leaving, not remembering, maybe remembering. Fingers crossed for are in a good place.

[Barry]
Wow, was that the plan at the science fair? Or did your volcano really erupt? With all of us in the same position people seem less prone to bitchiness.

Still, it's a shame she left. But no, I do not know how cross-world team ups against nazi aliens? Nazis and aliens? I don't know anything about them. Most I had was a time travelling mutant messiah or something.

Yeah, hopefully. Fingers crossed!

[Ellie]
No, I just really wanted a ribbon. And I got it! But I was also grounded and had detention for like, ever.

~~Yeah, I don't really know what mess she's going back to, and it makes me~~ I can timetable. Timetable. What? Timetable. How is it doing this? Timetable FOR REAL T I ME TRAVEL. I can do that, and if I run fast enough, cross into the multiverse. There's also a much easier, less strenuous and far more specific way to do that last bit, too.

It's all just kind of old hat at this point.

Grounded would've at least given you time to science?

That's really impressive. That's kind of like the theory of reversing the pull of the earth to move backwards, but probably with actual science, right? I'm not sure how I'd feel about crossing multiverse. This place is weird enough without getting pulled into many others.

I suppose it makes dealing with stuff easier.
