One of the things people don't do often is talk about the good things they've done or have right now. Sometimes being away from home is hard, so sharing helps!

So what's one good thing in your life right now? Yesterday, I got a cat out of a tree! It wasn't very happy but the owner thanked me a lot.

I don't really know the details. My original timeline collapsed around the time I was born and we got moved somewhere else. But certain timelines have always kind of existed side by side. I don't know if the Flash had anything to do with it.

[causational]

Huh. I only really learned that time travel was a thing that could happen a few months before I showed up here. My world has been changing a lot, really fast.

[supersweet]

It'll keep changing. And it'll be hard to keep up.

[causational]

Well, I can't go back to mine. And I'm getting used to this place, at least.

[supersweet]

Why can't you go back?

[causational]

Because I don't exist anymore, back there. This is my second chance.

[supersweet]

[ Oh. That . . . definitely sucks. ]

I'm sorry. Not existing anymore is hard. Especially when you feel forgotten.

[causational]

[It's easier for him, to say he doesn't exist, than to admit that he'd died. And he doesn't want to say it to someone who's asking about the good things, someone he suspects is just a kid.]

I don't think I'm forgotten, at least.

[A pause, and then another text-]

You sound like you've run into this kind of situation before.

[ private ]

[supersweet]

Yeah. It happened to me. Someone made my parents forget who I was.

It was like I never existed.

[ permaprivate ]

[causational]

[Oh. God.]

You did exist. You do. I promise.

Did they remember?

[supersweet]

Yeah, we managed to fix it. But it was . . . really horrible.

It still scares me.

[causational]

I don't blame you. I still have nightmares about what happened to me sometimes.

[supersweet]

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

[causational]

I'm sorry too.

If you ever need to talk about it, you can talk to me. I know that doesn't help much, and I'm sorry for bringing up something sad in a post that was supposed to be happy.

[supersweet]

It's okay. You didn't know.

What's your name?

[causational]

Thanks for letting me off the hook so easy. I'm Eddie. Eddie Thawne. You?

[He can see the Kent, but he doesn't know his first.]

[supersweet]

I'm Jonathan Kent. Everyone calls me Jon though.

Nice to meet you.

[causational]

It's nice to meet you, Jon.

So. You're a cat rescuer?

[supersweet]

Dad always says you gotta help people in need. That's what good people do.

[causational]

Your dad sounds like a wise man. I believe the same thing.

[supersweet]

Yeah cuz you're a cop, right?

[causational]

It's definitely why I became a cop. And it's why I agreed to help the Flash, once I knew he was on the level.

[supersweet]

Wow, so you even worked with the Flash? That's way cool.

[causational]

Yeah, for a while, before I ended up here. It's definitely cool.

[supersweet]

Did you meet the other Flash yet?
