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.

Most of my social circle consists of cops, scientists, reporters, and superheroes. Sometimes those categories even overlap. We kind of can't live without it.

[ She rolls her eyes. ] The cops in my city are like that too. I don't get it. Water works just as well and it's way better for you. Why would your superheroes risk their health and training with something like that? I'm pretty sure it makes you dehydrated too.

You'll get it when you go to college and have to deal with finals. Or have to do your first all-night stakeout.

[ She crosses her arms. ] Is that when it magically starts tasting good? Because it's gross.

You're not far off about that. Sense of taste changes as we age. It's actually one of the reason why it's so hard to get kids to eat certain vegetables.

Wait, really? I was just making that up.

[ She looks dubiously at the screen. ]

You don't really seem like the kind of guy who'd know something like that.

I'm a forensic scientist. I'm exactly the kind of guy who'd know something like that.

[ Both eyebrows rise. ]

You are? [ The disbelief is evident. ] That honestly wouldn't have been my first guess.

Yes, I am. Why is that surprising? Usually science-related jobs are everyone's first guess for me.
