[Barry gives her a warm smile for her concern. He likes her a lot already!] I appreciate that, I really do. That whole thing was a few years ago, but I've been through a lot in general. It'll be nice to have friends here, too. And I'm actually turning 33 soon...does time even work the same way here? Are there months?

[Barry is basically a meta-human golden retriever so this tracks still. But he shakes his head at that.]

Oh. No, you didn't. My mom died when I was a kid too, and then I lost my dad later. It's even more amazing that you came out of that wanting to save people. The Green Arrow didn't have any powers either, but I still admired him before I even met him, so I get it.
