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.

...I hate to say it, but that's not exactly new for me. The action figures already exist back home.

And the local coffee shop has a drink named after me.

I didn't ask for it. It just...sort of happened?

It's not like there aren't downsides to being me. I can't get drunk any more. Most I can get is a buzz that lasts about 10 seconds, and that's with super-high concentrated alcohol that would probably kill anybody else.

Really? That's it? You can't get drunk any more?

Wow, really tough life.

Also my food bills exceed the GDP of some small countries.

[That's not all of it, but those are the ones he can joke about. Things like time-travelers deciding to ruin his life before he'd even become the Flash are not fun subjects.]

Oh, wow. Yeah I can actually see that being a thing.

See, before I came here, I had a diet of mostly corndogs and egg salad sandwiches.

Pizza, hamburgers, mexican food, chinese takeout, donuts, ice cream, corndogs...all that and I also need to eat experimental energy bars a friend whipped up or else risk hypoglycemia.

Yeah um, I didn't have the money to afford nearly any of those, before.
