I have to say, all the many downsides aside? This is pretty cool. We're basically in the Star Trek future. With aliens!  I mean, I've met an alien before, in a different universe, but she did look fairly human. Aside from the whole faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to fly thing she had.

Anyways, hi. [He gives a little wave.] My name's Barry Allen, and I'm the Flash.  Not this universe's version of the Flash, though. I'm from a different one entirely. It's similar, but they showed me a couple pictures of the one from this reality and he wore a lot more spandex than I'm entirely comfortable with.

Getting off of that, it's nice to meet you guys, and I look forward to working with all of you.

[After a few minutes, Wash replies with a link to a video of Grif running into the wall. It's about two minutes long: the first several loops just show Grif running into the wall, and every loop afterwards has some type of effect added, from slow-mo to cartoonish sound effects upon impact to overblown Michael Bay explosions. There's a reason it's taken Wash a few minutes to respond: while he looks relatively composed now, it's fairly obvious that, off camera, he's been laughing his ass off at the video.]

I think I found your friend.

[Would you take a look at that smirk.]

fuck you, wash.

[ He's seen a lot of edits of that clip, but this one's new. Will the net ever forget and let Grif live? The answer is no. ]

[There's an easy, automatic reply here - nah, that's your mom's job - but he bites it back. Not his place. Not today.]

Look, I kept this private for a reason. You talked to me when you needed help. It's going to be a lot easier for you if you talk to Barry and actually ask for help. Otherwise, it's just going to be more of this.

[Is that the two-minute-long wall clip again? You bet it is.]

[ This response takes a bit longer than it should. ]

okay okay fine. god. i almost miss sarge just yelling at me to do things better. all this giving a shit about me stuff is weird.

[ In some ways, just taking a crack about his mom would've been a lot simpler for Grif. ]
