psl; two labradoodles in a van
[It's been a long six months since they sent the Reverse Flash through the portal, since Eddie'd tried to be the hero by shooting himself so his descendant couldn't screw up...basically everything, and Barry had saved him at the last moment. Disaster averted by The Flash, yet again.
It had taken a while to recover from that.
But he has, mostly, and he's back on detail with Team Flash, in a van in the middle of the night, staring at the outside of Iris' work waiting for Dr. Light to show up and try to kill Linda Park. With Jay Garrick. Who he doesn't know very well at all, because he's always been in with the scientists, the smart people, planning things that Eddie's not really part of. Lifting his coffee cup for a sip of his unsweetened latte, he exhales heavily and sighs, resting his chin in his hand and staring at the paper before glancing over at Jay.]
Nothing yet?
[Another sip of his latte.]
So, tell me more about Earth 2.

[Eddie's a little proud of pinning that one - he's not really the most with it as far as science and sci-fi and all that go. Half the time, the things he sees at Star Labs look like they come out of a space movie, and it's all pretty far over his head. But at least he got that reference.]
Kinda like the Jetsons.
[Or not.
He doesn't push to talk about the war. He doesn't really feel like hearing about war right now. The next topic isn't his favourite either, though, and his laugh in response is a little forced.]
Super speed? Probably not the first super power I'd pick. It seems like there's a lot of math involved and I'm not as quick with that as Barry or Cisco. Maybe like the man who could turn himself into metal. Something like that. Foolproof. A little more me, right?

the jetsons, eddie??
actually, yeah, kind of like the jetsons... that's probably the closest either of them will be able to come up with, so it works. still, he can't help but mumble: ) Well, I wouldn't call it old...
( except it totally is. god, as if he needs to feel any more like a dusty, obsolete relic. it's not eddie's fault, though.
it will be eddie's fault, however, if he catches himself up in the be-all-end-all of nerd debates. the potential for lengthy discussions pertaining to the advantages and disadvantages to each type of ability is right there, and jay would normally be more than happy to point out possible disasters relating to temperature, vibrations, and magnets when it comes to having a metal body, but something in eddie's tone gives him pause. this isn't about eddie's favorite and least favorite powers, is it.
he keeps it simple instead, prying gently in to business that's totally not even his. if he's going to sit in a van with the guy, he might as well pick his brain. ) Is it more you?
