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.

You're not aware of where your powers come from but you say you know of the SpeedForce? [He arches a brow.] The SpeedForce is the source of your speed.

I was thirteen when there was this sudden bright flash of light and suddenly I had these powers but no memory of my the rest of my life...had a few names stuck in my head and instinctively knew what the Speed Force was, just never learned what that bright flash was or why I was chosen.

Heck my parents were so freaked out by me that I ended up running away and living on the streets for a few years. Still haven't gone back since then.

[Thad's eyes narrow at this.]

Your parents? Are you sure they were your parents? Your connection to the SpeedForce is in your genetics.

Yep, they were my natural parents and they were normal. When I lost my memory they and the doctors had me looking through all the old home movies and photo albums to try and jog things, but nothing ever sparked.

That is...very unusual. [And nothing like the Bart he knows.] What do you know of your grandfather?

Dude was an accountant or something...No one in my family line had anything like this, made sure to search for such things when I was hunting for answers.

He could have just been keeping his speed a secret. [He thinks for a moment.] What do the names Wally West or Jay Garrick mean to you?

Right after the big flash explosion thing went off the names of Garrick, Wally West, and Barry Allen just appeared in my head and have been there ever since. Finally managed to find Jay Garrick a few years after it all happened but he wasn't exactly helpful with the explaining part...but to be fair I was more concerned bout that Speed Demon that I kept seeing when I ran.

I see. And what can you tell me about this Speed Demon? [He's got an idea what that might be.]

Freak monster fed on my speed so I gave him more then he could handle. Ended up sacrificing myself and wiping his ugly mug off the face of the planet! Would have stayed dead if my mun didn't pull me back from being absorbed into the Speed Force.

Hm. [Thad nods slowly.] The universe you hail from is...very unusual.

You can say that again! Man, between meteor freaks, robots, aliens, and world ending wars you'd think there'd be some sort of normal round here...guess that's why I keep going, trying to make sure the innocent people have a shot at living a good life.

Meteor freaks? I assume that's some form of metahuman. [Thad shakes his head.] Normality is in the eye of the beholder.

Yep. Big meteor shower happened years back when Cla...uh, when Superman's planet blew up. Showered the place with chunks of rock that mutated some of the people and gave them powers.

If that wasn't weird enough, there are a few like me out there...people with abilities who were never exposed to the stuff.

People gained abilities due to Kryptonite exposure? That is very unusual. Typically Kryptonite exposure just kills.

That isn't quite as weird as you may think.

Oh man, best guess is the exposure wasn't direct but more diluted through the atmosphere, the crops, and the drinking water over time.

Glad to hear it!

Perhaps someone should keep an eye on them. Even diluted, there is a chance they could develop some rather lethal diseases or pass on defects to potential children.

Yep! Already got more then a few Docs looking into it, and luckily the crash area was pretty small so it didn't spread to far.

[Bart grinned as he watch the waitress and two bus-boys carry out their trays of food.]

Sweet freaking nacho, it smells so good!

I'd advise keeping a careful eye on those doctors too.

[He falls silent as the food arrives, the corner of his mouth quirking upwards into a tiny smile.]

Sweet freaking nacho? Really?

[He considered it for a moment and nodded slightly. In truth he didn't have a clue about that science stuff but it would be simple enough to mention it to Chloe.

When the food was laid out and the waitress and her help departed, Bart tore into the sandwiches with fervor, only to look up when he was being teased. With his mouth half full he offered a response.]

Hey now, no need to poke fun! Take a bite and tell me that it wasn't worth the trip!

[Thad ate quickly but a bit more neatly. His eating speed might even have been considered 'slow' for a speedster.]

I didn't say the food wasn't worth the trip. This is quite good.

I know right! Man it freaking rocks, and the price is really cheap for the great quality they serve too...I try finding new places to eat from time to time, but this joint and a few others are on my special "kick ass awesome" list!

What others are on this list of yours?

Got this place down in Mexico that serves the best freaking burritos, a little joint outside of Central City that has over fifty different kinds of homemade pie, there's also a beach side shop in Florida that has real great swordfish sandwiches, an all you can eat buffet in China that makes these awesome dumplings, and last but not least...I got this bakery I know of that has the freaking greatest cookies in the world!

[Thad takes note all these locations. He's quiet for just a moment before deciding to ask something he's unsure of.]

Perhaps we could visit those locations some other time.
