[ After a few hours of failing to fall asleep, Wally gets bored and decides to address the network at some point in the middle of the night. He can get oddly reflective when he's tired. ]

For curiosity's sake, what is everyone's thoughts on time travel? I suppose it's even possible some people here might have experience with it given we come from so many different worlds.

[ He stops to release a loud yawn, before continuing on. ]

I mean, if you knew something in your past was wrong, would you go back to change it and just deal with whatever the consequences are if you could do it? What if someone told you that by going back to save their son it would save thousands of lives?

[ If one was to get the feeling he has found himself in such situations in the past, then they would be correct. ]

Or, would you simply accept things for how they are and move forward no matter how hard that might be?

[ Unfortunately, Wally doesn't have any definitive answers to such a question. All he has goes back to the life he had taken away from him. ]

I know what it was before... everything. I had a purpose, I had family and friends. I had a life with a woman who meant the world to me. I knew who I was and what I wanted.

[ Then when the Flashpoint came about, the world that was ceased to be and in its' place was a world that was similar but oh so different. Like everyone else, Wally wasn't aware of the changes, but after a villain tossed him into the time-stream and made everyone forget he existed, memories from the previous timeline started flooding back to him.

Not all of the memories stuck once he became anchored back to reality, but he remembered enough that he felt disconnected from the world and people around him. ]

But now? I don't really have any of those things. People keep telling me I need to rebuild my life, but I don't even know how to begin doing that whether it's back home or here. It's like I'm just standing still. [ Which is the worst when you're a speedster. ]

(In most situations, Dorian was a terrible source of advice. He usually ran from his feelings, from his memories, and pretended they didn't effect him. The wine usually helped. Here, he could see a man struggling on the edge of a precipice. It was one he'd toed himself in the past, and there was only one thing to do.

Start small.)

Well, firstly, don't think of it as rebuilding. You're not starting over, simply...starting. What sorts of things do you enjoy?
