I'm just curious how many people here are vigilantes back home. You know, superheroes, masked crime-fighters, whatever you're called, with or without special powers.

Are any of you doing that kind of work here? How did you get into it, either here or at home? Do you have a secret identity or does everyone know who you are?

I'm using a burner phone for obvious reasons. If you're doing the secret identity thing, I don't mind anonymous posts or private messages.

I haven't been going around telling just anyone about it, but keeping it a secret hasn't been as big a priority as it was back home, either. There hasn't been any trouble so far. Though I haven't ruffled some whack job's feathers yet.

I might go about it that way. I hate the idea of lying to the people I care about. And honestly, I'm a terrible liar, so they'd probably figure it out pretty quickly anyway.

Haven't run into an evil nemesis yet?

I understand that. Having to keep it a secret from my aunt back home was definitely the one thing I hated about what I did.

[ But Barry had stressed the importance of a secret identity and he trusted Barry. ]

Not yet. Can't exactly say I'm in a hurry to replace the crazies from back home with new ones here. Last thing I need is one from home showing up and getting jealous. Most of the action I get here is with the Guard.

I had to keep a secret from my ex-girlfriend about it for way too long, back home. I don't think I could handle doing something like that again.

I've seen a couple people mention the Guard. Can you join that while wearing the mask?

[otherflash]

[ If only they knew they were both talking about a version of Iris West. ]

The Guard is pretty good at keeping things quiet if that's what you're asking. I mean, I haven't had any issues working with the search and rescue unit on that front.

[That would be surprising, and maybe a little reassuring.]I'll keep it in mind. The Guard is definitely on my list of places I might try things out, at least while I'm still learning.
