I won't even ask why you would think sending me to a place where I would be without my speed would be a good idea because I'm sure the answer would be painfully stupid.

But why send me there when there's not one but three of those damn Flashes around? I no longer have any interest in destroying them and you're even more of a fool than I thought if you believe I'm going to 'play nice' with Wally, Bart, and Barry Allen. Are you just hoping they'll annoy me into insanity? I have better things to do than deal with whatever ridiculous whims you have so there's no need to try sending me anywhere.

Everyone starts somewhere. Though most people don't go about it stepping over others.

["created to be superior"? what a load of crap, not that he'd ever say it out loud.]

Sorry to break it to you, kid, but there's no superiority when it comes to being fast.

Better to step over others than trip and fall behind.

I'm more than just fast, Allen.

Oh? What are you then?

I'm faster, smarter, better trained, and able to focus and plan. Like I said, I was created to be superior.

Depends on your definition of superior. Those are all good skills, but it's what you do with them that matters.

And just what do you think I should bee doing with said skills?

Not be "destroying" the people I care about. [seriously.] Aren't there better things you could be doing than acting like a jealous kid?

[Thad just gives an annoyed little noise in reply.] I've long since given up on the pointless vendetta of my creators. So you don't have to worry about me trying to destroy your family.

[a shame that isn't reassuring.]

And just who are your creators? [there's a familiarity about this kid barry doesn't like, but he's been out of the loop too long.] I'm a little behind with the times, sorry.

My name is Thad Thawne. I was created by President Thawne far into your future.

[aw dammit, future things. he's never gonna get over time and future shenanigans.]

Created. So you came from a—a test tube? You were cloned?

Nothing so mundane as a test tube but yes. I was cloned from your grandson Bart and altered to be his better in every way.

[that elicits a heavy frown because though barry doesn't know bart too well yet, he's got faith in the kid. more faith than he's got in this one, at least.]

It looks like we're going to have to disagree on that, because I'm not seeing anything 'better' about you thus far.

Ask him how our battles have gone if you don't believe me. [He waves it off.] But as I said, I've abandoned that idiotic vendetta. I refuse to be used as a tool by people that I have never even met.

So what're your plans then? You've got a lot of skills you could put to good use.

I...don't know. I have not decided on plans beyond abandoning the Thawnes' agenda yet. [Decide what to do with his own life? Not a single clue how to do that.]

[.....goddammit Thad, don't make Barry feel bad for you.]

You're young, you have time still. There's a whole world of things for you to do, most of which you could probably get done with your speed.

[He can't help it.]

Time is not as helpful when I do not know what to do.

What would you like to do? Surely there's something that you want to do and not what your...creators want you to do.

I am...not sure. When I was disguised as Bart...there were things I enjoyed. I was able to tolerate his friends.

I bet it wouldn't be too hard to make friends of your own, if you just be yourself.

[He gives a mirthless laugh.] Another thing I need to figure out how to do.

[wry smile]

You've got plenty of time. [the one thing speedsters seem to have plenty of.] And I'm sure there's someone out there who'd be willing to help.

Considering what I know of my future, I doubt there will be much help offered.
