Bart Allen

1. When Bart was six, he got in epic trouble with his parents for stuffing turnips into his pockets to get out of eating them. To this day, he’ll eat pretty much anything you put in front of him, and then some but not turnips.

2. Despite his parents’ rocky relationship with his paternal grandparents, there were a few attempts to mend broken bridges when he was seven. Mostly what he remembers from this time is uncomfortable chatter and being forced to wear a tie.

3. After that period, he was sent to his grandparents’ for a dinner at least once a year. Just him, not his parents. He’s still not sure why.

4. Bart didn’t develop an interest in drawing until after the accident and subsequent move. It began with doodles and cartoons in his schoolbooks instead of notes and moved on from there.

5. Despite this, he still aced every test. ...Because he cheated. His teachers thought there was a draft in the room.

6. Only one of his teachers ever caught on that something was up. Instead of lecturing him like he expected, she just talked to him about his home life and recommended art classes. He found out later that she had paid a visit to his parents to talk about his problems at school; that chat catalyzed the fight that led to him being kicked out.

7. There’s a small nick in his skin up by his throat from sometime during his first six months on the street. He refuses to acknowledge its existence.

8. When Bart started high school again, official Justice League channels tended to be mysteriously used for homework help. As long as it didn’t put anyone in danger, Ollie officially didn’t know anything about it.

9. He’s not stupid. Even with hero work, he blew through those last years of high school fast.

10. He’s very seriously considering a civilian career as a cartoonist/illustrator. It’ll be awesome.


...Also, Bart's userpic extension went away while I was gone.



= my feelings on the matter.

Ten facts meme, angst and backstory and Milliways'verse-shaped towards the end.

1. Bart is the product of a Romeo/Juliet kind of romance, in the sense that his dad’s family (Allens!) and his mom’s family (Thawnes!) do not get along. At all. Bart has been acutely aware of this ever since he was a little tyke, and was always considerably more comfortable around the Allen half, as were his parents.

2. Despite the family rift, he was at Grandpa Thawne’s research facility for a school project when the experimental chemicals that later kickstarted his superspeed accidentally entered his bloodstream.

3. There was a time delay between the chemicals and the lightning. Bart remembers both, and he also remembers waking up from a coma several months later.

4. He didn’t handle it well.

5. When medical people started noticing WEIRD STUFF in the comatose kid, Grandpa Thawne fought tooth and nail for custody of Bart to investigate this properly. His parents won, and when he woke up, they uprooted the family to Manchester, Alabama for maximum safety from crazy patriarch. Bart was never aware of this.

6. Bart didn’t run away from home like he told Clark. His parents told him they couldn’t deal with him anymore, just go and don’t come back. So he did.

7. He misses them. He also blames them for not sticking with him when he needed them, but he knows he was being difficult. Which is why he doesn’t really understand why new peoples at Milliways bother with him; if his parents wouldn’t stick with him, why should they?

8. A lot of the time Bart’s difficult on purpose to people, just to see if they will give up and go away.

9. It doesn’t matter to him if the ones he’s just met and doesn’t care about do, but he’s secretly terrified that, one day, the people who matter will give up on him.

10. He’s not sure what would happen to him if one of those people was ever Jenny, and he doesn’t ever want to know.

1. There are 30 questions.
2. Next to each number, write only the name of the person who fits.
3. Answer one question with one name.
4. Don't tell the questions to anyone who isn't doing the meme.
5. Want to know the questions? Then you have to agree to answer them too.

The truth, I mean, not just what he'd tell you, and not just what he thinks he thinks.

1 question...
1 chance...

That's all you get. Ask me one question. Any one question, anything, no matter how crazy it is. An honest answer. No catch.

By which the narration means, she can't really promise anything, but she'll do her best to keep the boy honest.

All questions and answers'll be privacy locked.
