< Your father cared so much about you, Bart.. he was the most amazing man I ever met..

I miss him everyday... >

< I was probably a little older than you when we met. It was taking a big risk to be with him. For starters, he was a metahuman but of course we were also an Allen.

But we were ready to face everything so long as we had eachother. And you.. and there's nothing he wouldn't have done for us. > ++

< Oh, he loved his family, Bart. And in the short time with you? He loved you so much... So much. You were his pride and joy.

He and I.. We defied everything we knew with the feud between our families. When we fell in love. > ++

< He was so smart.. Maybe the smartest man I knew who wasn't some vindictive monster. Science was a specialty of his.. The way his brain worked was just so fascinating to me. I always just went with the flow of things.

he was a plans type man. > ++

< There's so much to be said about the type of man your father was.. >

Wiping her own tears away, she settled herself carefully with her arms still secure around Bart to keep him close. Be if for his sake or her own, it were unclear, but perhaps they both needed the comfort. ++

// Night, Marsy!!! Pyrobear LOVES YOU

< You're here and you're alive and I'm here now to make sure it stays that way. >

< From the moment I carried you within me I knew you were going to be an amazing boy. And when you were born? I knew you were likely to end up a hero like your father... >

< And I was right, as a mother often is. You have been through so much..more than I know. You're so strong, Bart. > ++

< Your father was a hero...he threw himself into risky situations because he knew what he had to do even if it meant being worried sick. >

She used a hand to brush his hair back, revealing his forehead so she could press a kiss to it to console him.

< Dopey, don't cry... > ++

A hand held to her son's cheek, cradling it within her palm.

< I couldn't ask for a more...it hurts me seeing you suffer. Seeing you get hurt. But you are your father's son, and he would be so proud of you. And when I look at you? I see him.. all the best parts of him inside you. >

Her son had grown up in a world without her, in a world not of his home, & while it pained Meloni in ways world failed to explain, she knew it was the best choice for him in the end.

Bart could never come home, but Bart 𝘸𝘢𝘴 home.

< You are so brave.. and so strong. > ++

< No.... my baby. My sweet baby. >

Meloni shook her head in protest of his apology, simply burying her face into her son's shoulder while she wept softly.

< I'm sorry... I've never been there for you, and still I can't do anything. >

// i would never

< His biology and abilities works opposite to Bart's, but that doesn't mean Theo will.. He could be even faster than both of them. >

< Bart had a normal childhood for about a year? It's then I know his metalbolism began aging him drastically. Theo seems advanced in his aging..If he's expected to come within a month. That could be from Thad's enhanced genetics from my father's work. > ++
