If at all possible, [ he says quietly, ] be very careful with yourself, and perform only miracles.
[ Not disasters. He wants to believe Barry would come back - of course he believes he'd want to - but they don't get everything they want. They don't get parents or happily ever afters or lives that don't involve having to avert various apocalypses. The good things are moments like this.
But what does Bruce know? He's one more psychotic break away from being unreachable. He has no superhuman abilities. Maybe Barry can fix anything he wants, rewrite everything, for anyone. ]
Did you get enough to eat?
[ Is that. Is that an awkward shift. He's just thinking of it, is all. Thinking of a hundred things at the same time. There are a lot of eggs, just in case. ]
