Shit, I need to tell Thad..

NO— NO, IT WAS— THAD
Have kids with Wally?
Apparently
NO— NO, IT WAS— THAD
Was he crying..? ]
It— isn’t.. none of this is because of you. No matter what’s going on in your head, how you’re seeing it.
You’re the one helping, right? You’re helping me, and him. Just helping…. If anything— I had choices —
[ "It feels like he inherited this from me."
Bart hugged his friend and, for a fraction of a second, he cried. Like so many other times. Tears that lasted an instant and were gone from his face before anyone could have registered their existence...
Until+
Bart… he shouldn’t feel guilty. Not for this. ]
Don’t— it wasn’t— don’t apologize for it. None of this is because of you. I mean that.

[ He said, hugging his best friend. Holding on to that boy he had known since they were thirteen.
Thirteen felt like a million lifetimes ago.
The YJ, Red Tornado, the silly talks around a fire and that stupid double mask joke Tim had made... It all felt thousands of lifetimes +
Guess that’s— one thing to look forward to. A big cup of real coffee.
[ Imagining it wasn’t as satisfying as it should be, with how badly he’s craved it. ]
Just, come here, Bart.

It was mostly milk, just to be safe. ]
I promise I'll get you a cup the size of your head once this is over.

No.
The Black Flash.
Welcome to the family, Theo, your soul gets+

I’m.. going to get that one coffee.

[ Before he finished the phrase, Bart had already written down everything on different sections and handed it to Tim. ]
Tim... Here is the thing about healing [ "Fixing" felt more and more terrible the more he said it ] Theo... I had to be able to run.
[ Meaning: +
Alright— we can’t let him starve? He’s going to start needing a lot more food than I can give him.. I’ll need to stock up —

That’s— it’s what we classify them as? You could… test it out. With Bart, and see if it works?
Are Speedsters meta humans? Since my father tried to commit genocide I can power up other metas, but... I never tried to use it since I don't know many.
Maybe this can help Wally and Bart.
Okay. Well. Wally’s done it before? With Bart? But.. it’s nothing really concrete. He sort of just, did it.

His body is going to burn through more calories than normal baby food can give him. The good news is it will handle things you "shouldn't" give a newborn, too. Like... Goats milk. +

I'll help. With our four brains we probably can solve it in time, right?
I wish my powers gave me a light speed brain... I really need one right now.
I’ve talked to Bart and Wally about it.. theoretically, it’s doable. To fix it before he’s— all grown up too quick.
I wish I could drink coffee right now….

Max is MIA, which fucking SUCKS right now. I need him.
But... Ok. Let's start with what I know Theo is going to need, and then we can move on to asking questions.
No— it’s— it isn’t your fault, Bart. You’re helping.
Okay…. Do you have— I don’t know, a speedster group chat? This is.. I don’t know enough about these things

I don’t have those answers. I wish... I wish I did.
I am so sorry.
But I can only... Tell you what I had to be hooked to for life support. That much I remember...
That’s— I mean, I figured it would happen. I knew that. We don’t have good luck..
Theo’ll be here before Valentine’s—? We need to— we should— well, you should probably let Wally know. And I need to.. prepare. Fix up Py’s nursery to fit a speedster too. Not —

Too many details for two months.

[ Barry said it wasn't his fault. But still... ]
On the bright side, we do know how to fix that! On the not so bright side... You two have a lot less time to prepare to be...

Growing fast. That’s what you mean? Faster than he should?

[ Zaps out of here.
Goes to scream his lungs out in the middle of the Atlantic.
Zaps back. ]
Not long ago for Theo to be... That big. Not normally, at least. Curse you, eidetic memory, I wish I could forget biology book details.
It was a little after that
Growing fast. That’s what you mean? Faster than he should?
