“I watched a lot of movies when I first moved here, wanted to catch up on what I didn’t get to experience.” Maybe it was easier to talk about these things because he had the same face, the same name, well the same everything really. “Being in the action is scary, I’ve only done it a handful of times. But computers are pretty cool.” Winn nodded. “I don’t think I’m on your level but I work IT at City Hall.”
Oh, okay cool. They had metahumans and this other planet had aliens. Every Earth had its thing. “Aliens? That’s pretty different. We just have metahumans, but you knew that.” Everything he said just made Winn feel a little more insecure, why would Barry keep him around when there was this other Winn who was smarter and better than he was. “Wow. I mean we have another evil speedster running around. But I haven’t gone up against him yet, mostly it’s just been Barry. I’m not really - battle ready.”
“So, your dad was a murderous psychopath too?” Winn asked, he didn’t even sugar coat it because - - - what was the point? If they were really that alike, this Winn’s father was pretty shitty too. “It is a little scary, but if I can protect my friends then I’ll do it.” As much as he hated it. “I do love me a good computer.” There was a small smile. “Nah, you’ll get there, kid.” Kid? Really? This was him, an alternate version of him but still him.
Honestly, he’d forgotten that Earth One didn’t have aliens. . . “Yeah, the metas. So, you’ve never seen an alien before? Oh-ho man. It’s pretty cool. I dated an alien girl once - - - she was terrible.” Winn didn’t even know what happened to her after she left, he cared a little bit but not much as to look into it. “An evil speedster? That sounds like a really bad time. - - - So, Barry has gone up against this guy? What’s he like?”
